A Preventive Measure.

A practical plan for checking the
spread of tuberculosis in public con-
veyances has just been proposed. The
Anti-Tuberculosis league of Cleveland,
says the Leader, has received the sug-
gestion that the conductors be sup
piled with small cards on which is a
printed request that passengers de-
sist from splitting on the floor, togeth-
er with copy of the law on the sub
ject When the conductor notices a
passenger violating the rule he is ex-
pected to hand the offender one of
the cards. He avoids all dispute with
the passenger, the other passengers
note what has been done, and it is
thought that the expectorator will
either become embarrassed and leave
the car, or take the suggestion in good
faith and abstain from repeating the
offense.
The Anti-Tuberculosis league, which
was organized recently, is having a
great deal of literature printed to dis
tribute among the schools, the work
shops, the tenement districts and in
all places where the seed of education
along hygienic and sanitary lines tend
ing to prevent the spread of tubercu-
losis would show promise of growth.

ANOTHER RECORD IN LAND
HUNTING.
This Springs Exodus to Canada
Greater Than Ever,

This Springs Exodus to Canada
Greater Than Ever.
1t was thought in 1903, when over
forty-five thousand people went from
the United States to Canada, that the
limit of the yearly immigration to
the wheat zone of the Continent had
been reached. But when in 1904
about as large a number of Ameri-
can citizens signified their intention
of becoming settlers on Canadian
lands. the general public were pre-
pared for the announcement of large
numbers in 1905. No surprise there
fore will be caused when it is made
known that predictions of fully fifty
thousand more in 1905 are warranted
in the fact that the Spring movement
Canadaward is greater than it has
ever been. The special trains from
Omaha, Chicago, st. Paul. Detroit,
and other gateways has been crowd
ed. Many have gone to join friends
and relatives who have prepared
homes for them and others have gone
relying upon their own resources. sat
isfied that what others have done can
also be done by them. This year
much new territory has been opened
up by the railroads which are extend
ing their main lines and throwing out
branches in their march across the
best grain and grazing lands on the
continent. This new territory has
attractions for those desiring to home
stead on the one hundred and sixty
acres granted each settler by the
Canadian Government. Many also
take advantage of the opportunity to
purchase lands at the low figures at
which they are now being offered.
1t does not require much thought to
convince one that If Iowa, Illinois,
Minnesota and other lands, with a
value of from fifty to one hundred and
fifty dollars an acre will give a good
living by producing ten to thirteen
bushels of wheat to the acre and thir-
ty to fifty bushels of corn to the acre,
the lands of Western Canada at seven
10 ten dollars an acre, producing
superior wheat to the acre should
produce a competence to the ordinary
farmer in a very few years. These
are the facts as they confront the
reader There are millions of acres
of such land in Western Canada in
addition to the other millions that
are considered to be portion of the
biggest and best ranges that ever in
vited the cattle and horse producer
of the North American continent
What is particularly evident in West

and profitable. The agents of the

Captain Jackson added: 1.-The
Japanese are making preparations for

this can be best understood by the
way they are buying up steamers.
They have purchased several hun
dred during the past few months and
when 1 left Kobe they had taken over
twelve vessels during the fourteen
days previous to my departure.
''They are particular as to what
they buy and only want vessels from
1900 to 5000 tons. They have to get
small ships so that they can run into
any of their ports and are easily navi-
gable in the inland sea. This will be
the third vessel that l have sent out
to them.

steamers, and though they have pur-
chased some old boats they have Sc
cured some exceedingly good ones.
