CONSUMPTION.

IT HE war on tuberculosis during the
Il past decade or two has been un-
relenting and when science shows the
determination il has in this instance to
conquer success is almost assured in
advance.
More people die from consumption
every year than from any other dis
ease. yet the percentage has now be-
gun to decline and Investigations are
now I'm progress which promise TO lead
to a further reduction, II not to its
practical determination. A writer in
the London Outlook holds the view that
is preventable disease.
while prominent physicians declare
that under certain conditions it is cur
able. We quote from the outlook ar
ticle:
II mankind united tomorrow In COM
mon purpose against a common foe
tuberculosis could be exterminated In e
few decades or less. The land In whose
capital a human eye first rested upon
the creature which has closed so many
eyes forever has already witnessed a
signal and progressive decrease in the
tuberculosis death rate. Notwlthstand-
ing the incessant movement OF the pop
ulation In most civilized countries, as
In our own. from the country TO the
cities. the tuberculosis death rate is
falling far and wide-though nowhere,
I believe, so fast as IN wise Germany.

Of brains. the qualities that have rout-
ed Cupid from his promised place in
human affairs; and he points oet the
diminishing numbers Of suicides oc-
casioned by love and other tragedies

statements
It ia perillous to question the correct
ness Of scientific research as prosecuted
i'm this day. But is not science going
beyond its legitimate fields when it
prowls over into the domain OF the
emotions and affections2 II Is hard to
believe that love is dead. one has only
to follow closely the days happenings
to know that there is no perceptible
decrease IN the number of heart
tragedies. IN the East. where money
Is more worshipped and the leisure
class is larger, IL may be that the
primal instinct Of human love is be-
coming atrophied But this Is hardly
probable In this matter the world is
much the same all over, and it changes
but little. Love is still one % the fun
damental verities of life. 1t is as
natural as birth or death. II Is a part
~ this life, despite ife's universal
artifcialty. and Il will continue to be
so wherever men and women coa;inae

formances. The Eight Dollar Troupe. a
family OF acrobatic marvels that do all
