100000 persons now living doomed to die from
the white plague These are stupendous figures,
but it is evident that the professor knows what he
talking about. He did not embrace the whole world
in his calculation, but referred to the United States
He furthermore stated that the deaths resulting from
consumption equal to the eight foremost dis
cases. and that the cost of taking care of those at
ficted amounts to hundreds of millions of dollars
Many valuable papers have been read before this
congress tuberculosis and thespeakerswere upan-

sumption is one of the most dreaded diseases known
to the profession, for in New York alone it is esti-

their warfare for independence. Only the other day
a encounter took place between American
scouts and Moors in the province of Mndanao re-

ageous enough to fight SO stubbornly for principle,
perhaps they are worthy of being granted indie
pendent form of government.
From strategical point of view the Philippines
invaluable, but as a financial investment the
property is failure. 1t will require years to ex-
terminate the so-caled bands of outlaws who make
travel in the interior extremely hazardous and this
determination will still further prove costly tax in
soldiers and money It would be interesting to know
who is furnishing the sinews of to these natives
and the moral support so essential to such pro-
traoted and discouraging campaign. Perhaps if
the chap in the woodpe could be routed out fighting
would cease.

PZOUi7a6 in Hard .LucE.

Playing in Hard L1ch.
MAN in North Dakota who has reached the
age of sixty five years deliberately committed theft
so he could be committed to the penitentiary. The
man without work, friends or money, and sooner
than be sent to the poorhouse he chose the prison
a means of supplying him with food and clothing.
This man has certainly been playing in hard luck,
else the sign refused to work. Ordinarily when
arrives at this age he has small nest egg saved
up and has host of warm friends to cheer him in
his declining years. 1t is very dsagreeable to be
old and also to be in the pententary. This little
tragedy shows that our dreams of q palace do not
always true. Nevertheless, we should all have
competency for old age when health has de-
serted us.
