CONSUMPTION IN ILLINOIS.
That State Makes a Bid for Sick oil
Other States.

Chicago. July lin a circular Just
issued by the State Board of Health
entitled 1.-The Cause and Prevention of
Consumption it is shown that in Illi-
nois the disease is responsible for more
deaths than typhoid fever. scarlet few
err, diphtheria, all forms Of bronchitis.
Influenza, measles and smallpox COM
bined.
1t is further found that those dying
from consumption were usually in the
prime of life and of ages at which men
are most valuable to themselves. their
families and the state. OF the 1900 per-
sons who died from this disease in
Illinois in 1903. half of them were be-
tween the ages Of 20 and 30. while the
estimated loss each year to the state
because Of the disease is about $780,
000, 600.
The Investigations Of the board have
demonstrated that an especial climate
IS not essential to the cure Of consump-
ton but that the disease is durable in
Illinois. In the circular suggestions are
made to consumptives on methods of
life calculated to lead to physical i'm
provement, and it also announces that
the board has established a laboratory
i'm which the sputum Of suspected
tuberculosis cases will be examined
without cost. An appeal Is made for the
establishment Of state hospital for
the treatment OF the disease.

wag of operatives in this city will be
reduced l2iA per cent. on Monday. July y.
This action was fcreshadowed in dis
patches sent from here earlier in the week
and caused no surprise among the mill
workers and textile union officials. The
unions will hold special meetings within
mendations shall be made to the textile
council as to the advisability of ordering
a general strike to resist the reduction.
The operatives are in poor share finan-
cially to engage in strike, as their wages
have been cut off by at least 40 per cent.
since the early spring by the widespread
stoppage of machinery
The opinion of level-headed union men,
although they do not care to commit
operatives will decide to postpone any
campaign against low wages until the
condition of the cloth market and their
own finances are more favorable.
The cut will take effect in nearly 81
cloth mills employing about 5000 hands
1t is not yet known what action the Fail
River Iron Works will take. nor whether

American Corn Abroad.

There has always been a forage mar

far as there Is an expanding market

home merchant. In Holland and Bel
GUM the poorer classes have learned to
minsle cornmeal with wheat -four to
produce cheap and palatable bread

corn in the form Of polenta as is good
for them. considering the sparse use Of
salt or other ingredients. Whenever
there Is a poor grain crop In Europe
and a big corn crop at home, our ex-
port trade mounts, but there Is general
complaint among our consuls that We
are not pushing our market as we
should.
This is particularly true In France,
The government has gone to expense In
various European countries to acQuAints

tritive qualities Of maize and its work

not imperative and other demands up

her back again. 1t seemed wicked to
her to waste $3.50 when she could save
It by buying q shirtwaist suit she didn't
need for IS which she couldn't afford to
spend! OF course she bought the suit
and her friends 'Oh'd" and "Ah'd'' to
her hearts content, making her feel
that she was a wonder when II came
