sIauohter Of the Innoo.n,s

A study of statistics reveals the ter.
rible fact that nearly one-half of all
the human beings born into the world
die before the age of five years. In
the city OF Stetten. Germany. nearly
one-half-473 out of every thousand
die during the first year of their lives.
In Ireland. Scotland, Norway and Swe-
den, where child2en are given better
care. have more outdoor life. and
more intelligent attention is given TO
feeding. the number of deaths is only
one-fftieth as many ms in the CITY
of Stetten. being ten per cent.
Physicians are coming to recognize
that the use of cows milk. which is
infected with the germs of tubercu.
losis. is one of the most active of
all the causes Of death among Young
children. THIS should he remem.

be universally observed for adults as
well as for children. and. II applied

Where Toys are Made.

The United States spent last year
a.OOO,00O on toys-mostly dolls from
Sonneberg, Germany. alone. Little
Sonneberg sent out $13.OOO.00O worth
OF toys last year. Great Britain used
TO buy most of them. but John Bull
has been very hard up this past year.
and the United States has taken most
OF EnglaIsi's share. The men who
make these toys earn by ten hours
labor a day between "a and 60 cents.
The thousands of boz and girls en-
ployed earn an average OF 80 cents a
day.

Girl Caught a Shark

When the Democratic convention of
the 1st congressional district met at
Ocean City an incident occurred that
made some ten or fifteen sturdy men
feel somewhat small, says the Balti-
mere Sun. 1t was about 10 O'Clock on
the morning of the convention that
some one standing on the porch of
the Plimhimmon hotel saw an un-
usual object in the ocean not far from
the shore. The attention of several
other persons was attracted, and in a
few minutes the cry went up. "a
shark! A shark" and there was
rush for the beach. When the crowd
arrived within about thirty feet of the
waters edge the great fish could be
plainly seen floundering about in the
shallow water, each wave bringing II
closer into the shore. Not a man in
the crowd cared to abridge the dis
lance between him and the shark. and
each time the waves rolled the fish
toward the shore there was hurried
retreat.

Joke Turned Out Well

A reader of the "odd Tales OF the

London Times, which, just now. is
republishing items that appeared in
that paper 100 years ago to a day,
sends the following as a sample, says
the Baltimore Sun:
Some ill-timed pleasantly was

which all other social problems of a
medical character sink into signif-
canoe, and 1t is safe to say that the
possible prevention of large portion
OF the mortality from this disease is
Justly deserving of the solicitude, the
active personal interest and liberal
pecuniary support of all who have the
real welfare of the people of this ma
ton at heart.
Biggs estimates that New York city
sustains an annual economic loss of
$23,000,000, and that the nation at
large must sustain an annual less of
$30.000,000 because of tuberculosis.
There are nearly 10000 deaths from
consumption in New York city. Sew
en- thousand persons died in Illinois in
1903, half of them between the ages
of 20 and so years, while the esti-
mated loss to the state alone, because
of this disease, was $36,O00,000, and
the medical authorities of that state
have found that consumption is re-
sponsible fer more deaths tran

tuberculosis causes annually more
than 10000 deaths in tie United
States at the average of 35 years AT
this age the normal after-lifetime is
about 80 years, so that the real loss
of life covered, measured in time, is
represented by 100000 years per an
mum. If we assume that the net
value of year of human life after
the age of 35 years is at least $50,
the real loss to the nation resulting
from the disease Ga large proportion
of which is known to be needless)
may be estimated at $240,000,000 per
annum.
These astounding and almost in.
comprehensive figures are far from
being an exaggeration, but let us as
sumo that only one-half of this NOR
tality Is preyentable, and we have a
net possible saving to the nation of
$120,000,000 per annum. This esti-
mate does not take into account the
social moral and sentimental value
of at least 100000 lives, which under
different conditions, might reasonably
hope to continue for many years.

therefore, a problem compared with

Take Care.

Take Care is a game played by any
number Of persons in several ways
In one of the most common, -four Is
packed tightly into bowl, which Is
then turned over and removed, leaving
the flour in a mound. On top Of this
is placed small CON. The players
in turn then remove each a part Of
the -four with a knife, and whoever
lets the coin fall must pick It from the
Hour with his teeth. Sometimes each
one says take care" as he cuts off bis
portion of the -four, and the game thus
receives its name.
There are many substitutes for the
Hour and coin. One of the best is q
cardhouse of two cards on pile made
OF the rest of the pack loosely thrown
together. Each player removes one
card, and he who allows the cardhouse
to fall must pay forfeit. The game
may be played out of doors with L.
tie flag stuck in a Fail of sard, from
which each player removes a little
on the end of a stick.

A 7 st Of eviction

Two New York girls, near friends,
fell In love with the same young man.
II any one should think for moment
that any censure attaches to him,
let it be said that he was not at
all to blame. The girls are both so
lovely that it is absolutely impossible
for any man who has the use of his
eyes to meet them and not capitulate
ut once. They got to comparing notes
the other day. Finally one of the
girls vowed that the young man con
cerned cared more for her than he did
for her chum, who promptly asserted
that the reverse of the proposition
was true.
They agreed to test 1t, and soon hit
upon a plan. Each was to write the
young man note asking him to call
at certain hour. And, seeing that
he could not obey both commands at
once, 1t was to be conclusive proof
that the girl whom he favored was
In possession of his heart. After this
they felt better.
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1905-01-10

Just as their decision was reached
the subject of their dispute happened
along. He spoke to them for a mo-
ment, but about all he had to say was
that he had lost his umbrella and was
looking for it.
The girls then adjourned to their
respective homes to write the notes,
which were both to the effect that
they wanted him to call that evening
When No. was safely ensconced in
her boudoir she made up her mind
that she would win, even IL she had
to stretch matters a little. Therefore
she indited this note:
Dear Fred-I am very sick. Per.
haps may die. Come this evening""
The time Of trial arrived, and, re-
markable as 1t may seem, Fred called
on No. 2. The explanation of the
whole matter. however, Is contained
in the other note Fred got. 1t ran
thus:
Dear Fred-Come up tonight. I've
got your umbrella"
