Didn't Make Any Difference.

Pat and Mike went into restaurant
one day and both ordered baked mack
erel. When the order was brought one
mackerel was large and nicely brown
ed while the other was very small and
Isburned.
"Oh, Pat, and will you serve the
mackerel?" said Mike.
ooh, no, Moike, could not think OF
It," answered Pat.
So after much talk it was decided
that Pat should serve the fish.
He promptly gave the smaller one
to Mike and settled down to enjoy the
large one.
well, Pat, you are a nice wan.
Sure and I would have given yez the
big wan and kept the little wan me-
silf," exclaimed Mike
'What are yez kicking for, then?r
said Pat. Haven't yez got it,?

Not DANGEROUS.

A minister's small son had commit
ted some minor domestic crime, and,
fearing the wrath to come, had hidden
himself in the barn. A vigorous
search was made, but his hiding place
was undiscovered, and as the day
passed on, his parents became
alarmed. 1t was not until dark that
the small fugitive reappeared, and by
that time anxiety had overcome all
other feeling in the fathers heart, so
that his sons appearance was hailed
with relief rather than anger.
Presently, taking the small boy ON
his knee, the minister said gravely:
1T is true, my boy, that l could not
find you, but the Lord and the Evil
One both knew where you were"
"Oh, wasn't worrying about them"
the unrepentant youngster responded.
They were not looking for me with
shingles in their hands,"

Turning the Tables.

A statesman in an argument. mad
turned the tables rather neatly on his
opponent. Senator Dolliver in con-
graduation said:
"You remind me Of a Fort Dodge
doctor, DR.. X This gentleman once
had a grave dug for patient, sup
posed to be dying, who afterward re-
covered, and over this error of judg-
ment the doctor was joked for many
years.
"Once he contended a consultation
with three conferes, another patient
This patient really died. After the
death, as the physicians discussed the
case together, one of them said:
Since quick burial is necessary,
we might inter the body temporarily.
I understand our brother here has a
vacant grave on hand
"Dr. X smiled.
YES he said, I believe l am the
only physician present whose graves
are not all filed"

Senator Hale, apropos of an awk-

ut reminds me Of the conversation
of two ladies at a reception.
''These ladies were strangers to
each other. After a moments desul-

ously:
"T don't know what's the matter
with that tall, blond gentleman over
there. He was so attentive a while
ago, but he won't look at me now
perhaps" said the other, he saw
me come in. He's my husband, you

Young's and several other reputable
hotels DR.. Worcester said Vermonters
did not need to be told about diseased
beef, adding, however, that they need
have no special fear of it as practically
all the tubercular cattle in this state
had been shipped to Massachusetts,.
Dr. Worcester said that the disease
can only be stamped out when patients
are properly quarantined. In hospitals
and sanatoria there is almost never
case of a nurse or doctor being affected
with tuberculosis, due, of course, to the
extreme caution in care of the patients.
This caution can be as well carried out
in the home. DR.. Worcester urged that
in this and in every other town there
be an organized force for fighting tu-
berculosis the same as for hghting nre.
In this way healthful conditions may
be brought about and disease, which IN
MANY cases is due to wrong living, can
be lessened in a great degree.

disinfection rules in other countries,
taking Hamburg, Germany, as an ex-
ample, against the negligence that pre-
walls in this country. Here even IN
cases of strict laws they cannot be en-
forced because of the violent objection
of the people, who consider wall paper
and carpets of more account than the
health of the family. In Hamburg,
for instance, when patient dies of
tuberculosis the house is thoroughly tu-
migated as in case of smallpox DIR.
Worcester also told of the various ways
of contracting the disease. Much of it,
he said, was contracted from tuber-
cular meat. He told of an up-to-date
and luxurious farm which he visited in
New Hampshire where the owner
shamefacedly confessed that he made
his money by buving tuberculous cat
tie and shipping them to partner in
Boston who made them into sausage
and sold the sausages to the Touraine,

CRUSADE AGAINST CONSUMPTION
Interesting Story of Its Method Told
by Dr Worcester of Waltham.

That this community is deeply inter
ested in the war against disease which
is being waged throughout the country
was made evident by the unusually
large attendance at the Mothers meet
ing in the Congregational chapel Wed wee,
cester of Waltham, Mass. spoke on the
Crusade Against Consumption. For,
merly. he said, tuberculosis was looked
upon as positively fatal but in these
days a person afflicted stands good
chance of recovering under proper
treatment. The disease, as everyone
knows, is purely germ disease and
the fact that oftentimes several men,
hers of one family are afflicted is due
to the fact that the patient was not
properly isolated or the sputum prop
erly disposed of. The disease is not
hereditary as was formerly believed.
