The theory chiefly favored by text

esta blished by reasoning.
The fact that the penalty is sought
to be enforced by Imprisonment does
not determine the status even in such
states as have abolished Imprisonment
for debt
In Anderson VS.. Schubert, 50 III. App.
22S, Gary, J., says: "That penalties
are recovered for the breach of munich
pal ordinances and that judgments
therefor are enforced by Imprisonment,
does not change the character of the
suit from civil suits to criminal prose
cutions.'
There are many other cases to like
effect. The penalty provided by the

Imprisonment and the court, in en-
deavoring to give the fullest effect pos

properly be time to urge this objec-

Has the county any court in whIch

A person at the age of sixty years

life in his bedroom. Have you inves-
tigated the average sleeping room eli

airy to some distant pestilential spot

full as that of the average bedroom,
would you not feel that you were risk

On the tombstone of tens of thou
sands of those who have died from
tuberculosis might appropriately be
inscribed. Disease and death were
invited. and encouraged by a death

To show that this is no exaggera-
ton it is only necessary TO call at
tention to the fact that fully half of
the tubercula- patients placed in out
door consumptive hospitals make a
satisfactory recovery. If fresh air
will cure the disease. it is certainly a
wonderful preventive Of it. 1t is not
more reasonable to deliberately
breathe impure air than it is 10 drink

One of the most anomalous features
of our Christian civilization is the
slaughter house, especially the abat-
toirs of our great cities, where veri-

flow, the ebbing life of millions of in
nooents which die that man may feast.
Indians are not noted for being
over-sensitive; and particularly de-
spise any exhibition of weakness. The
interior of a slaughter-house, however,
is said to have proved too much for
their powers of self-control. The Chi

In spite Of the reproach in more

them all pass. He noticed that the

cheerful unconcern, he smoked pipe

! TUBERCULOSIS IN CHILDREN
Appalling Mortality Among the Little Ones Due
y to This Cause-Proper Attention to Health of
{ Mothers Would Save Many Lives


The number of deaths due to tuber-
culosis Is tremendous. When the word
is spoken one fnstinctively thinks of
pulmonary consumption. This is the
form which attacks adults and which
we see daily gathering in its victims
There are other forms, however, more
common in children, that levy trib-
ute upon them without calling atten-
ton to the relationship between these
dIgeases and consumption of the
lungs
DR.. Jacob is authority for the state
n ent that tuberculosis kills as many
PEOPLE, old and young, as diphtheria,
Group, whooping cough. scarlatina,
measles and typhoid fever taken to-
gether." In all of our cities active
steps have been taken to protect the
eople from the above named dis
eases. Until quite recently, however.
few years at most. nothing was done
to reduce the mortality from tuber-
culosis.
Now, however, the attention of the
world, the common people and the
health authorities, has been called to
its durability and preventability.
The causes, the modes of scatter
ing. and the prevention are all being
studied. and an educational campaign
is on TO wipe out this white terror I"
The children suffer from tubercu-
losis of the bones, the bowels and
lymph glands. Tubercular meningitis
is frequently found in early life and is
uniformly fatal. Only by careful at
tention to the food and daily habits
can the rising generation be made inn
mune from these varied forms of tu-
terculosis.
The fact that over one half of all
babies born die before they reach the
age of five years, proves that the con
stitutional capital" bequeathed them
is small. Is the proper attention paid
to the diet, exercise and out-of-door
life of the mother? If this were done,
the child would undoubtedly have
greater vitality and could by proper
care and education live above the tu-
bercuIosis of childhood and Of adult

Grand Duke Advocates soldness

Some critics of Russian autocracy
say that the Grand Duke Vladimir has
some excuse for his hatred of popular
movements and secret societies. His
father, Alexander 1.-THE man who on
his accession to the throne at once
made peace in the Crimean war and
emancipated the serfs-was assassi-
mated by nihilist bombs. The grand
duke is said to have carefully studied
the details of the history of the French
revolution, with the express object of
avoiding the perils and dangers Of
any such catastrophe in Russia, and
he is convinced that if Louis XVI. s
ministers had been holder they might
have saved France as a kingdom.
