A Crisis In the White Plague.

Patient investigations by Great Brit
aims medical inspectors show a mark
ed decrease in very recent years OF the
number of deaths from tuberculosis.
The decrease has been steady, and 1t Is
believed that the dread disease can be
practically conquered in time, the same
as eprosy and typhus fever That re-
suit will be a boon to the human mind
as well as to the human form divine.
The bare thought that an unconquera-
BILE malady is slowly eating away hu-
man life is appalling, and the belief
that consumption is incurable worries
thousands into untimely graves who
might be cured If they would but be-
lieve.
1t is the opinion Of science that no
mysterious agent devised by man can
account for the lessening of the raw
ages of consumption. Rather the I'm
provement is ascribed to the lessened
virulence Of the hostile bacillus, COM
bined with increased power Of re-
sistance In the average human frame.
Men everywhere live better than they
did generation or two ago. Uncon-
sciously they are building up garrisons
of friendly microbes to meet the enc
my halfway whenever he appears.
More attention to the purity of milk
and meat supplies is recommended,
and it goes without saying that breath
ing pure air and general observance of
the principles of hygiene will armor
human tissues against the microbes OF
this dread disease.

A similar disposition to delay action

than nine hours In twenty-four. 1t has
been found that oyerwOrked operatives

Life is What We Make 1t.

What makes life a failure with
some people is that they accept it as
cut and dried plan, laid out for
them by some inexorable fate, and
which they must follow to the bitter
end no matter how distasteful or
disappointing it may be. This theory
spoils many a life which otherwise
might be made well worth while both
to the individual and to the world.
The truth is life is what we make it.
1t is a play in which we can be stars
or the sorriest kind of satellites. In
the first place too many of us make
heredity pack horse for our ineffic-
iency and failures. Heredity downs
nobody who has the pluck to down
it, 1t is the weakling and the coward
who goes down before hereditary
tendencies. When we know we have
hereditary weakness we have all the
advantage in the world, and if we do
not overcome them we deserve to go
down with the weaklings.
And too many of us make environ
ment on excuse for our failure to
make a life worth living. The fact
is when we find our environment is
narrowing our Ives or setting up a
barrier against our progress to
higher and better things, then it is
our privilege to strike out from the
shoulder and scatter the environment
which is spelling our lives to the
four winds of heaven. Too many of
us drift with the tide and then when
we find ourselves stranded with the
flotsam and jetsam of other weak
lings we cry out against fate and close
our eyes to the fact that it is our own
lack of pluck and ambition which has
led us to aimlessly drift with the
tide.-EX.

News comes officially from Colonel
Geothals, the chief engineer of the
Panama Canal, that the work will be
completed and that ships will pass
through the canal in the year of
1915, or within six years from now,
and this information is given not
withstanding the fact that there are
land slides of large dimensions fall
ing back into the canal along the
Culebra Cut. These land slides were
to be expected. They occur in all ex-
and in new cuts and in
region of torrential rains, cannot be
avoided. In time the steep sides or
the Canal, where it is cut through
the mountains, will be terraced and
overgrown with vegetation and these
slides will, in a great measure at
least, be obviated. 1t Is interesting
to note that the locks now building
are 10 feet wide and thousand feet
long. These dimensions are such as
will admit the largest "dreadnaught",
or vessels even two or three hundred
feet longer and twenty feet wider
than the Lusitania.

Death of A. T.. BOe.

Andrew E. Boe, who has for near
ly twenty years conducted success
full creamery business, first in
partnership and later alone, died at
his home in this city last Wednesday,
Dec. q, 1908.
While Mr.. Boe had been ailing for
over a year with what evidently was
tuberculosis, yet his death was rather
unexpected at this time. For several
days past he had been confined to
his home but had not taken to bed.
He leaves three motherless boys
to face this worlds battles.
During his business career here he
made many friends. The writer's con-
siderable business relation with him
was always of the most pleasant and
satisfactory.
The funeral will be held Saturday.

Floating paragraph says Congress
man Haugen received a majority of
1900 two years ago and only $500
this year. This is not correct. Mr..
Haugen received 1882 in 1906; IL,
SS4 in 1904; 4,1S7 in 1902; 10,094
in 1900; and 7,040 in 1898. This
fluctuation in the majority is easily
explained. There has only been an
active campaign made by the dem
ocrats against Mr.. Haugen twice since
he was first nominated-by Col.
Sorter in 1902, a presidential year,
and by Mr.. Geiser this year, when he
received a larger vote than he did in
1902. And this fiuctuation is not an
uncommon thing. In the Third dis
trict Congressman Birdsall received a
majority of 6,S42 in 1898, 1,1S0 in
1900; 1862 in 1902; 13,70S in 1904;
and $500 in 1906. Mr.. Birdsall re-
ceived larger and smaller majorities
than Mr.. Haugen and the larger maj
ority in each case was received i'm
mediately after receiving their small
est, so that those opposed to Mr..
Haugen cannot get much satisfaction
out of this years majority.-C. c.
