WARFARE AGAINST CONSUMPTION
Why Fight IL.
WARFARE
Why Fight 1t.

The Charity Organization Society OF
New York, in handbook on the pre-.
yention of tuberculosis, encourages
the active campaign against this great
plague and gives a concise summary
OF Why" the battle should be waged.
Because more people die of con-
sumption than from any other dis
ease.
Each year 1,O95,00O of the people of
the world die of it. In the United
States over 100000 die every year of
consumption. Every day 5000. and
each minute of the day two persons
fall before this enemy. How many OF
your friends have died of it?
Because 1t Is a disease which
spreads from one person to another
and any one may catch it.
Because 1t is chiefly caused by the
filthy habit of splitting.
Because 1t is disease which can be
stopped, and need not spread.
Because every one may and should
help stop 1t.
Because already there is change for
the better The number of deaths
from consumption is growing less.
Twenty years ago there were many
more deaths in proportion to the pop
ulation than now.
II the tuberculosis death rate of 1886
had been maintained the first nine
months of 1902, four thousand more
persons in Manhattan and the Bronx
would have died of tuberculosis than
actually died in these months.
Could anything be found more in
spring, more plainly indicative of the
need for extending the work against
this disease?

Use Of rObacco bx Minors.

The use of tobacco by children. its
causes and prevention is discussed
In the Medical Summary.
Whilst most states have laws forbid
ding the sale Of tobacco to minors. it
is notorious fact that such laws are
universally ignored. The parent,
teacher and physician are to blame.
The parent, that he does not thor
oughly train his child; the teacher,
that he does not better supervise the
conduct of his pupils; the doctor, in
that he does not warn the parent,
who perhaps errs himself.
School boys may be seen any day
on their way to school with books un-
der their arms, and a chew of tobacco
or cigarette in their mouths. Oc-
casionally little girls may be observed
INDUCING in the seductive cigarette
on the streets. What will be the in
evitable results? The best that could
be hoped would be numerous tobacco
users, but worse might be feared, and
very much worse imagined.
The evil is evident, and the remedy
is provided, but law is useless till en-
forced on violation. The dealer will
not obey it till public sentiment de-
mands it, the child does not choose to
submit to it; the parent is negligent:
the pupil is Indifferent or silent: and
what is left for the child's salvation

beneath 1t includes this statement:
Ut Is a well-known fact that the girl
who has telephone is the girl who

This appeal to the young people is
adroit and doubtless will serve to

to consider this ingenious contriyance

something of bother for a young

to the park. but If he can transmit the

OYSTER PARTIES AT vIeo.
fJoveI Amusement of Spanish Water
ing Place.


Vigo, one of the Spanish watering
places, offers a novel amusement to
its patrons. Oyster parties are the
rage and are of daily occurrence.
Large parties are formed which pro-
coed to the beds in large, fat-bottomed
boats. and the oysters are fished up
and opened as soon as they are
brought into the boat
Few refreshments apart from the BIZ
valves are offered, as one of the inter-
esting features OF the party is the
awarding of a prize to the one who
consumes the greatest number.
They are passed to the guest on the
she'll, and these shells are thrown into
a basket, from which a count is made
at the end of the feast.
The Vigo oyster is one of the small
est OF its kind, being much smaller
even than its California relative, and
a score of 200 is not at all uncommon
as the party sometimes lasts the en-
tire day.
Ice is largely luxury in Spain, and
the Vigo oyster parties are the only
assurance the epicure has of getting
the delicacy in its best form.-New

Of Wide Interest.

Breed, Wis, June 26.-Special-
Chas. Y. Peterson, Justice of the Peace
for Oconto Co., has delivered judg-
ment that is of interest to the whole
United States. Put briefly, that judg-
ment is, "Dodd's Kidney Pills are the
best Kidney medicine on the market
to-day"
And Mr.. Peterson gives his reason
for this judgment. He says: Last
winter l had an aching pain in my
back which troubled me very much.
In the morning l could hardly straight
en- my back. l did not know what it
was but an advertisement led me to
try Dodd's Kidney Pills. After taking
one box can only say they have done
more for me than expected as feel as
well now as ever l did before"
Pain in the back is one of the first
symptoms of Kidney disease. If not
cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills it may
develop into Bright's Disease, Dia-
betes, Rheumatism or some of the
other deadly forms of Kidney Disease.

Mr.. Goldstein is a young man and had

by the fact that his wife was far from
