CAN 1T BE CURED?
Scientific Men Say White Plague Is
Doomed a nti -Tu berculosis Exhibit. |

Scientific Men Say White Plague Is
Doomed NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Exhibit.
The anti-tuberculosis exhibit, which
will be shown in Ryerson library, IN Grand
Rapids. opening May 8 continuing during
the week. will be well worth visiting by
the general public. 1t will not be a
grewsome. CHASTITY display of horrors,
which the disease suggests, but on the
contrary will be full of interest and IN
structon. 1t will include a compre-
henslve display Of what modern science
is doing to check the ravages of the
disease. The preventability and cur
ability Of tuberculosis has been fully dem
onstrated. Pure air. sunshine and whole
some food, the simple remedies of nature,
are the remedies, and the exhibit will
show their application and results. Safe
guards against the spread of the disease
are also shown.
Great progress has already been made
toward checking tuberculosis. The death
rate in those cities and states where it
has met determined and organized COM
bat show great improvement. The dis
ease has not been eradicated as vet, but
to make it one OF the comparatively harm
less diseases is what science is striving
for, and which it will not be satisfied until
it achieves. The local anti-tuberculosis
society is carrying on the campaign in
Grand Rapids with intelligence and zeal
and the exhibit which opens this week
should do much to help the good cause
along.
Every physician in Bedding should visit
the exhibit and endeavor to get all in
formation possible regarding the cause
and treatment OF the disease.

June
Cheap round trip excursion rates have
been made to Greenvle on June z. when
the Carl Hagenbeck Greater Shows ex-
hibit for one day only in that city, giving
afternoon and night performances. There
seems to be a considerable amount Of To-
cal interest in the near appearance of
these shows for the word has become gen.
eral that they are quite out Of the general
run Of tented exhibitions and totally un-
like anything ever seen before. Hereto
fore the name Of Carl Hagenbeck has
been synonymous with ali that was most
wonderful in the performances of trained
wild beasts. He had confined himself ex-
cusiyely to the animal field. Henceforth,
judging from information at hand, the Carl
Hagenbeck Greater shows must be the
standard of extent and excellence by
which all other amusement enterprises
must be measured. 1t is said that when
these shows are seen the foundation for
this assertion of superiority and magni-
tude Will be apparent. The Carl Hagen
beck shows have grown within the year.
enlarging from trained animal show to
tremendous trple-featured enterprise that
is more comprehensive than any other
tented amusements institution. In its
greatly augmented form it now embraces
a complete three ring circus, an East In
dian Perahera or Hindoo festival and Ha-
genbeck's trained wild beast exhibition
with added features.
The parade is opulent and brilliant and
sensationally attractive with its many open
dens Of animals. Surely here is enough
to make for glorious and gladstone holi-
day. Two performces will be given daily
at and 8 p m, the doors opening one
hour earlier for study Of the menagerie

was born in good old Michigan
In the county Of Lenawee,
In the year of eighteen forty-ons,
The twenty-sixth of May.
But my father being rover
He soon did move away,
And settled south Of Hillsdale,
In the town of Cambria.
This place was then wilderness,
No neighbors living near.
The wolves they gathered round at night,
Their bowling caused US fear.
But father soon went after them,
With firebrands, dog and gun,
And when he threw the firebrands,
They soon left on the run.
And here we lived for quite while;
For nine long years or so,
When he packed up and moved again,
To the town Of Disco.
And here we bought us quite home
And thought ourselves we'll fixed.
Then mother, she was taken sick,
And died, in 'fifty-six.

When Johnny got his gun.
Times changes now came thick and fast.
Things seemed all in mix.

A soldier would be,

From Atlanta to the sea.
And through the Carolnas,
Until the war was done,
Then started on our homeward march
Direct to Washington.

We have struggled on together;
OF lIfe's cares we've had few.
We have raised three children, built our
home,
And done our very best,
To get things all in proper shape
So we can take rest.
You see I've been here quite a while.
And I'm glad to be alive
And quite a staunch old hustler
At the age Of sixty-five.

MINING QUICKSILVER

Quicksilver, the familiar but always
mercury that rises and falls
in the thermometer tube, has estab-
lished postoffice and built town in
Oregon. Black Butte is the name Of
the town and postofice, and the noun
comes, is a mountain of mercury. It
is claimed by the. owners that this
mountain has the largest exposed body
of quicksilver ore In the world. A.
vein 400 feet wide has been opened
for more than a mile along the noun
low the crest. More than three miles Of
tunnels, raises, etc, have been made,
and everywhere the rich .cinnabar ore
from which quicksilver is taken APP
pears in great quantities. 4 g
In the Oregon mining section at the
Lewis and Clarke exposition the visitors
saw in operation miniature quicksil-
yer disti1ling plant, modelled after the
one at Black Butte. The engine ran
Near by was the condenser and under
the spout an iron bucket Of quicksilver,

runs out of the condenser after being

| The process ordinarily is called dis.
! tillation. First the ore, is. crushed and
then it is dumped into furnaces, where
\ it is roasted at the fierce heat of 1890
degrees Fahrenheit. When the ore
reaches temperature of $50 degrees
/ the quicksilver begins to pass off in the
/ form of vapor. The mercury vapo1
passes into large chambers built Of
! wood or brick, called condensers. These
are coated by water jackets and othel
devices, and in them the vapor sool
