when they are beginning to earn
money. The minimum cost of doc
tors bills, nursing, medicines and loss
OF earnings amount to over $4,000 in
each case, while the earning power
which might have been if death had
moi come brings the total cost to at
least $4,000 for each individual.
If this sum is multiplied by the
$4,000 deaths, the cost, it is seen,
is bigger than the immense sum of
S1,000,000,0 00. Professor Fisher es-
timated that over half this cost falls
upon the victims themselves, but the
cost to others than the consumptive
is over $40, 100000 a year.
AS a matter of self-defense, he
averred, it would be worth while to
the community in order to save mere
ly O. quarter of the lives now lost by
consumption to invest $5,5O0,00O,-
600. At present only a fraction of
n per cent. of this sum is being
used to fight the disease.
Professor Fisher expressed his be-
lief that isolation hospitals for in
durable consumptives are the best in
vestment of all, because in this way
the most dangerous consumptives are
prevented from spreading the disease
by careless splitting. in their homes
and neighborhood.

$40! 1t is Nigh Thee"

The surprise of life always comes
in finding how we have missed the
things that have been nearest to us;
how we haze gone far away to seek
that which was close by our side all
the time, says Phillips Books. Men
who live best and longest are apt to
come, as the result of all their liv-
ing, to the conviction that life is not
only richer but simpler than it
seemed to them at first. Men go to
vast labor seeking after peace and
happiness. 1t seems to them as if il
were far away from them, as if they
must go through vast and strange
regions to get it. They must pile
up wealth, they must see every pos
sible danger of mishap guarded
against, before they can nave peace.
Upon how many old men has it come
with a strange surprise that peace
can come to rich or poor only with
contentment, and that they might as
we'll have been content at the very
beginning as at the very end of life!
They have made a long journey for
their treasure, and when at last they
stoop to pick it up, 10! it is shining
close beside the footprints which
they left when they set out to travel
in a circle.

NEW JERSEY STATE NEWS
Newspaper Printed by Auto.

An automobile played an important
part in the publishing of a newspaper
at Bloomfield. The engine used to
run the press in the Office of the
Bloomfield Citizen broke down when
only a few copies of the paper had
been run off. Mechanics were sent
tor to make hasty repairs, but an in
spection of the engine showed that
at least twenty-four hours would be
required to put it in order. Abram
Day drove up in his automobile just
at this time. Learning of the pub
fishers dilemma he ran his auto to
me rear of the printing Office, con-
nected the machine 20 the press by
the betting, and thus furnished power
enough to run off the edition. In a
brief editorial the publisher assured
his readers that he believed he was
supplying them with the first news
paper ever run off by an automobile.

Washington, D. physicians and
the laity will be greatly interested in
the result of a series of experiments
made by the navy surgeons recently,
through which they believe they have
demonstrated that mercury is a spe-
cific for tuberculosis. The Govern
ment Bureau of Medicine and Surg
cry has published the reports of Med
ical Director c. T. Hibbett and Sur
geon Barton Leigh Wright.
Surgeon Wright, who is the origin
ator of the treatment, says he discov-
cred the efficacy of the drug by acct
dent. He was treating a case which
required mercury. The patient was
tubercular as well. To the surgeons
establishment the tubercular LESSONS

CONSUMPTION COSTS US A BILLION A YEAR.
startling Statistics Brought Out at the tuberculosis Congress- by Professor
Fisher, of Yale,

Washington, D. professor Irv-
ing Fisher, of Yale University, read a
paper before the International Con-
gress on tuberculosis which created a
decided sensation. Professor Fishers
paper was on 1.-THE Cost of Tubercu-
losis," and he made the startling an
nouncement that the great white
plague costs in hard cash over one
billion dollars a year.
He estimated that consumption
kills $4,000 persons every year in
the United States. This is equal, he
said, to the deaths from typhoid
fever, diphtheria, appendicitis, men
nights, diabetes, smallpox and cancer
all put together. Then again, he said,
it generally takes three years to die,
during which time the o victim can
earn little or nothing.
Five million people now living in
the United States are doomed to fill
consumptives' graves unless some
thing can be done to prevent it," de-
clared Professor Fisher. "As each
death means anxiety and grief for a
whole'family, l estimate that there
will be over twenty million persons
rendered miserable by these Deaths"
The scourge, he said, picks out it's
victims when they are young men and
young women, at the very time of life

lection into the muscular Tissue in
order to avoid digestive enlargement.
DR.. Wright says:
Il am convinced" he adds, that
in mercury we have a specific for tu-
berculosis, and that the only question
remaining is how long a lime will be
required to effect a cure. We follow
the well established rules of treat
ment during the administration of
the drug-open air, rest, proper food
in abundance, sanitation, personal n.y.
giene and selection OF climate" Sur
geon-General Rixey declines to COM
ment on the tests.
OF course it is not claimed by Dr..
Wright that the new treatment will
restore the lost lung tissue, but where
there is enough lung tissue to support
life hebelieves the victim can be saved.

DIVER FIGHTS DEVIL FISH.
Thirty Feet Under Water in Hold Of Wreck When Attacked

San Francisco, Cal.-Wrapped in
the tentacles of a giant devil fish,
Martin Lund, a diver employed by
the Coast Wrecking Company, fought
for his life in the hold of the wrecked
steamer Pomona, which lies in thirty
feet of water in Fort Ross Cove off
the Marin County coast.
The devil fish had evidently entered
the vessels hold during the night.
Lund had been at work some time
before he was attacked. A giant ten
tacle four inches in diameter first
gripped one leg. Before Lund real
lied what was happening another en-
circled his thigh.
The diver began to chop at the rub
ber-like bonds and at the same time
gave the hosting signal to the barge
above. Two more tentacles squirmed

Can't Sell Canned Speeches.

On an application from the Edison
Photograph Company, a Justice Of
the Supreme Court at Paterson issued
IN order restraining the sale of 1900
records of William H. Taft's election
speeches at a price under the regular
rate. The records and several phono-
graphs were taken in part payment
for a house and lot in Rutherford.
Mosley & Co., auctioneers of Pater-
son, had advertised the records for
sale when the restraining order was
served upon them. The Edison Com
pany has an agreement with all job
bers that none of their records shall
be sold for less than t~hirty-fve cents.
The Mosley Company, it is under

about his neck. AS the efforts of the
men on the surface to comply with
his signal threatened to pull his he'll
met off, Lund was forced to signal
them to stop.
With only his left arm free he
hacked at the ~tentacles until they
were partially crippled, but he was
being drawn toward the fish when he
saw the outline of the body. Plung-
ing toward it he drove his knife with
all his force into the head, repeating
the blow until he had slashed it into
sections. In it's death throes the oc,
topus frightened its tentacles until the
diver was almost crushed in its EN-
brace.
Lund finally cut himself free and
was brought to the surface fainting.

Niagara Falls, N. Y.-To the grave
alarm of the Reservation Commits
sioners and the horror of the people
of both the American and Canadian
cities, Niagara Falls has gained no.
toriety as a suicide resort more rap
idly this season than it's fame as a
place of pleasure has grown in years.
Eleven violent deaths since July
have caused the State authorities to
consider seriously what further meas
ures may be adopted to prevent de-
spondent persons throwing them
selves into the fascinating whirlpool
kor seeking the enhancing beauties of
the isle-dotted cataract as the scene
for taking their lives by bullet or
poison.
The suicide of Mrs. l.. D. Draper,
of Saginaw, Mich, by eluding the
vigilance of the guards and throwing
herself h%eadlong oVer the rail into
the river above the American Falls,
impressed the growing problem on
Superintendent Perry and the COM
missioners.
The woman's strange actions
caused the guards to suspect that she
was contemplating suicide, and when
she started to cross the bridge to
Goat Island at 7 O'Clock a. m., an
officer turned her back, giving as ex-
cuse that the reservation was not yet
open to the public. Other officers
were warned of the woman's peculiar
actions, and she was watched closely,
although one was impressed with
her grim determination to throw her.
self into the river.
Throwing off suspicion by hiring a
carriage, she returned to the reserva-
ton after the guards had directed her
toward the city. She concealed her
long black cloak and was able to drive
past the guards without being recog-
nized. Near tho rivers edge she told
the driver to stop. Leaving the black
cloak in the seat she started to wax
around toward Prospect Point. Five
officers were within sight, but none
recognized Mrs. Draper as the m
of the long black cloak until she
started to run toward the protecting
railing. Then IN officer shouted to
her and started in pursuit.
He was too late. At a point where
the railing is at the cataract's edge
she threw herself headforemost into
the river and in an instant was car
ried over the p%recipice. Relatives in
Saginaw telegraphed a reward for
finding of the body, but no sight of it
had been obtained by nightfall.
Since July 1 five persons, three
women and two men, have been seen
in their death plunge, and three other
men, whose suicide was unobserved,
have been found drowned in the
gorge.

Kansas Mastodon Tusk
Crumpled When Found.

Concordia, Kan. - A large ivory
tusk, seven inches in diameter, was
found near here in a bed of clay. The
find was made by Frederick Dutton,
who was canoeing in the river. The
tusk crumpled into small pieces when
taken out, but parts of it were
brought here, and Mr.. Dutton will
make a further search for the skele-
ton of the m~astodon, which is believed
to be buried in the bed of silt and
clay. Years ago the lower jaw of a
mastodon was found in this district.

1925 COAL MINERS LOST LIVES.
Records Show 1907 Was the Worst Year in History of Industry

Washington, D. accidents in
coal mines of the United States dur
ing the last calendar year resulted in
the death of 1926 men, and injury to
5316 more, according to statistics
just made public by the Geological
Survey. The death record among the
coal miners during the year was
greater by 1893 than in 1906, and is
said to have been the worst year in
the history of the coal mining indus
try. The figures do not represent the
full extent of the disasters, as re-
ports were not received from certain
States having no mine inspectors.
West Virginia reported the heaviest
death rate in 1907, 1896 per thou
sand employees, and this State also
showed the lowest production for
each life lost-65,969 tons. New
Mexico stood next on the list with a
death rate of 11.45 and a production
of 1882 tons for each life lost. Ala
bama was third, with a death rate of
7.2 per thousand and a production of

Supremacy of Christ.

Men who deny the spiritual SUI,
premacy of Jesus Christ and reject
His claim to their personal allie
glance, however much they may ad-
mire His character and laud His
teachings, are not, in any proper
sense of the word, Christians. Nor
alists, philosophers, even doctors of
divinity, they may be, but they have
no right to wear the Name which is
above every name, because they do
not bow the knee to Christ or con-
TESS Him as Lord, to the glory of
God the Father. To call one a
Christian who denies the Lordship
of Christ is a contradiction of terms.

, 92,535 tons for each life lost. Mis-
souri, had the lowest death rate, head
ing the roll of honor with .95 and
499,742 tons of coal mined for each
life lost.
Statistics do not bear out the pop
ular idea that most mine disasters
result from explosions. Of the total
number reported during the last year,
947 deaths and 343 injuries resulted
from gas and dust explosions, and POI
deaths and 416 injuries were caused
by powder explosions. The chief
cause of death among the miners, the
report explains, was due to the falling
of mine roofs and coal. Such disas-
tiers caused 1922 deaths and 2141
injuries.
E. w. Parker, chief statistician Of
the survey, asserts that much benefit
will result from the action of Con-
gress in appropriating s150,000 to in
vestigate mine disasters and take
steps to decrease the number of ac-
cidentS each year.

picking chestnuts, and bit him so
badly he needed a doctor. Squirrels
attacked a neighbours boy. He killed
two with a club, but the others only
went for him more savagely. Squir-
