As an illustration of how freight rates
affect the selling price of an article the
following instance is cited : A soap fac
tory in Cincinnati recently shipped ten
ctrloads Of soap to a wholesale house in
New York. One hundred boxes OF this
soap we're sold to jobbing house in
Pittsburg. The Pittsburg house sold a
portion of it to a jobber in Clarksburg,
West Virginia. These people, in turn,
shipped some of it back TO a retail dealer
in Wheeling, through which town it had
already passed to reach Pittsburg, and
more of it to retail dealer in sm0ll
town three miles from a railroad near
Fairmont, West Virginia. And when
the retailer got it, 10 each case he sold
the soap for FIVE cents cake, which is
the price at which it retsils in Cincinnati
the point where it is manufactured. Ul-
timately, some of this soap travelled 400
miles and was handled in freight houses
aud in wagons about eight times before

The doctors differ widely in their ideas
concerning consumption. Some cor-
tend that it is not hereditary, others
that it can be cured as easily as any
other disease, while others entertain
exactly opposite views and point TO the
ravages of the disease which have ex-
listed since the earliest history OF the
world. That the Frenchmen do not believe
in the reported "cures" which from time
to time are announced, is shown b. the
action of the French government which
has given its approval to the plan OF
having the Parliament authorize
5000, 900 prize for any one who shall
discover a real cure for tuberculosis.
This grows out OF the discussions at the
recent tuberculosis congress, and is
expected greatly to stimulate research.
