The National tuberculosis Congress
has, since September 2I, been holding its
sessions in the unfinished new National
Museum building and the sessions will
continue for ten days longer. Dr. Koch,
the most famous of living physicians, DIR.
Guinard, DR.. Trudeau, Dr. Flick and
many other eminent specialists are at
tending and participating in the dis
cussions. One person out of every seven,
it is said, who died ten years ago, met his
death from consumption or tuberculosis,
as it is called. Today the tax of the great
white plague is somewhat less and esti-
mated at only one in ten. In fifteen
years, according to the predictions of
earnest physicians warning against the
disease, the plague will be effectively
swept from almost every country in the
world. During the coming week the
American capitol will be the scene of the
worlds fight against this most deadly
plague in history. For week longer
physicians, philanthropists and interested
laymen will sit in conference to effect
methods of action. Two years will ensue
before there is another international con.
ference. When this congress shall have
adjourned, united action will probably
prove TO be its great accomplishment, for
after all there are no medicines which
prevail against this disease and ever since
DIR. Koch's discovery of the tubercle
bacillus in 1882, it has been known that
fresh air. good food, and cheerfulness are
the most effective remedies for arresting
the ravages of consumption.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

simultaneously with the return of the
President to Washington, Republican
political headquarters in fact, if not in
form, have been shifted to this city and
the President himself without invitation
and without saying "by your leave" has
assumed control. Everybody is saying
well, it's just like him." Ifthe Repub-
lican leaders were anything any more
than dumb driven cattle, in the presence
of this towering personality they would
ask the President to stand aside in order
that the people-the voters-might be
able to see his little candidate. But no
Teddy is having his last go in the glare
of the limelight and he won't stand aside.
Many of the leaders of the Republican
party believe that the President should
abstain from frequent controversy, es
pecially at this early stage Of the cam
paign. One distinguished member ofthe
party, whose counsel has been often
sought by the President. expressed the
opinion Saturday that such should be his
proper policy. The Democrats are con-
graduating themselves that the fire of
the President has been drawn and that
his influence for the Republican candi-
date will not be as potent now as if he
had held himself in reserve for the home
stretch.
The President had busy day Friday
but he put no more ginger into the cam
paign. He was receiving compliments
on his treatment of Bryan and Haskell in
Fridays letter and that night before
leaving his Office. waited to read the
latest afternoon news from the camps of
the Democratic leaders. Many about the
White House Saturday predicted that
Governor Haskell would be obliged to
quit the treasurership of the Democratic
National Committee, and SOME Democrats
are of the same opinion, as they are also
that Dupont will have to leave the Re.
publican Committee. So honors and dis
grace are balanced. It is a fact that
Haskell has not been and is not popular
with national democratic politicians of
the hetter type. They resented his in
trusive activity at the Denver Convention
and his affiliations with Standard Oil and
other trusts were the subject of much
anxious discussion at Denver. There are
official denials to the contrary, but it is
fact understood by Democrats with
esoteric knowledge that arrangements
had been made for the acceptance of
Haskell's resignation before the Presi-
dents diatribe.

E CUT ROME.

hens once a day, which should mol
pcst over n cent a pound, will pro.
duce more eggs than five times as
much grain, because the cut bone is
complete in egg-making substances,
while the grain is largely deficient in
many respects. Some persons affirm
that 1t does not pay to procure a
bonecutter for small focks. That is
a mistake. Bone-cutters are now
cheaper than many ordinary garden
tools. and are stroag, durable n
efficient. The cost of the bone-cut-
ter is oon regained in the increased
number Of eggs laid. It is almost in

are two trite old sayings which ex-
emplify the difference between the
two ways: I'm union there IS

operation and failure.
IL you are going to succeed, you
must economize. Economy does not
mean miserliness, nor does it mean
an unwise desire to save. False eco
nomy is worse than one at all. A

FOUND A WAY
To Ee Clear of the Coffee Troubles,

Husband and myself both had the
coffee habit and finally his stomach
and kidneys got in such a bad condi-
ton that he al compelled to give
up a good position that he had held
for years. He was too sick to work.
His skin was yellow, and I hardly
think there was an organ in his body
that was not affected.
II told him I felt sure his sickness
was due to coffee, and after some dis
cussion he decided to give it up.
ut was a struggle, because Of the
powerful habit. One day we heard
about Postum and concluded to try It.
and then it was easy to leave off COT
fee.
His fearful headaches grew less
frequent, his complexion began to
clear, kidneys grew better until at
last he was a new man altogether, as
a result of leaving off coffee and tax
ing up Postum. Then I began to-
drink it, too.
although I was never as bad of
as my husband, I was always very

strong, only weighing 95 lbs. before
I began to use Postum. Now I weigh
115 lbs. and can do as much work as
any n my size, I think.
Many do not use Postum because
they have lot taken the trouble to
make it right. / have successfully
fooled great many persons who
have drunk It at my table. They
would remark, You must buy a high

who clerked In a grocery store was

"As I have found Peruna a blessing for

"Catarrh, such as I suffered from, made
life a burden to me, my breath EGs

with a headache, and although I tried
many so-called remedies, nothing gave me

that was finished there was a marked
