The Crusade Against
Consumption.
The Death Rate in Washington

About Two thousand people are Ill
with consumption at all times in Wash |
ington. From 10 to p die weekly-from
10 TO % new ones take their places each |
week and pass through the various
stages of the disease. In the last stages
of the disease, after the patients vital
tty Is gone, very little can be done. The
important thing to attend TO is 10 have
correct diagnosis early in the attack.
This diagnosis can De accurately reached
only by The most expensive Array ma
chine. There is 10 guesswork about it
then. Seeing is knowing. Under the x
ray the sore spot on the lung can be
seen. The latest treatment for Con-
sumption is Sunshine. Fresh Air, Proper
Food and Medicines administered di-

germicidal Vapors into the lungs is add

The Interesting His
tory of the Chill
dren'S Day Cards

This beast who looks so very cross
Is known as RHINOCEROS.
And he is really, so tits said,
A most ferocious quadFuped.
You'll notice how he seems to glare
Upon the Children standing there.
But they are not afraid one mite.
They know he cannot gore or bite
The reason is, they know, think,
He's only cOlored pen and ink.
It's just the artists little way
OF telling you it's Children's Day.
There's a very interesting history
connected with the Children's Day
cards we give each Saturday to the
many little friends of this store. They
are the result of much hard thinking
Through the help of the larg-
est newspaper in this country we
found a man whom we thought was
capable of doing this work. This man
IS recognized as q high class literary
man and particularly good in pro-
ducing poetry.
This gentleman has spent his entire
life in the West. He was with the
famous Rough Riders in their cam
paigns in Cuba as representative of
one of the big papers in this country.
This gentleman is now in Arizona
He sends US this Children's Day
poetry from time to time.
The illustrations that go with this
poetry are Drawn by one OF the best
newspaper artists in this whole
United States.
We believe the cards for this week,
as shown above, are the best we have
ever had. These cards are very large.
They contain no advertising, and the
children get more good honest enjoy
ment out of them than lots of other
things.
we had a larger lot than ever sent
down for last Saturday. Along about
2 o'clock in the afternoon we ran
completely out and had to recorder
them
Below there is a blank which we
wish every little boy and girl to fill in
and bring to the advertising depart
ment tomorrow. We will give each
child who has one of these a Chill
dren's Day card to take home with
them.
Last Saturday we found that where
there were several children in onel
family, they only had one advertise
ment We want to tell those children
beforehand, that if they have only one
paper. to go to their neighbors and
ask to have Jones' ad so they can clip
this portion out and I'LL it in.

 which, l was told. 1t was his custom to ride on the march. His staff was bril- liant In gold lace, but he was very simply dressed. No one could have seen that man without being greatly impressed with the dignity of his bearing and beauty of his face. His hair at this time was almost entirely white. and those who had seen him the year before said he had aged greatly in the short space or time which had elapsed since the bat tie of Antietam. I could not help think Ing Of Washington as I looked at that calm. sad face It has been said since by those who were near him that he had no expectation of conquering the north, and that, at the most, he only hopel to win great battle on northern soil in order to affect public opinion in
 Europe and lead to the recognition of the Southern Confectionery. However that
 may be. there was nothing about his
 bearing which looked like a great hope.
