That these little fellows have hearts of

the two hours of skating. One little chap

his arms around his shaggy friend told
him not to whine.

Members of the local medical societies
yesterday received copies of new re-
port treating on the subject Of reducing
the local death rate from tuberculosis
The report had been prepared as study
by the committee on the prevention of
consumption, and is issued as the result
of an investigation as to fundamental
means of reducing the death rate from
this disease.
The District has no law to prevent the
spread Of tuberculosis, and it is suggest
ed that the report affords timely support
for the bill recently proposed by the Dis
trict Commissioners for the compulsory
registration OF consumptives. the free eX-
animation OF sputum and the disinfeCtiOn
of rooms in which consumptives have
lived. The committee having this matter

But we feel abund- antly repaid by the publcs appreciation of this better that is pushing up the sales in Boys Clothing Store at such rapid rate.
 And because of this larger appreciation of parents, we've been able to gather, this Spring. vastly greater variety of suits than we've ever before shown. This encouragement has also spured us to more aggressive efforts for improvement resultant of which is the sup eriority of these suits in many little points to those of past seasons
