There seems to be but one matter
standing in the way Of providing for

ing professional and members Of the
musical union, demand union prices II
this were carried out the support of

mately $4,000. II u said. however.
that should a band OF thirty-five pieces
be employed for fifty concerts. the
union would probably reduce the rate
and MI engagements for approximately
$4,000.
II is said that public concerts in 9TH
err cities cost much more than the above
figures--that each man receives IS to
IS each concert. Certainly II smaller
cities and towns can afford such con-
tracts for public entertainment, Mont
gomery can AFFORD a band OF excellent
quality at the same price," Is urged by
those enthusiastic in the proposed
scheme.
1t has been suggested that the Com

amount Of the required fund. and that
the city treasury will furnish the ball

The matter now stands before COM

Trudeau's classic experiment points
us in the right direction. After inocu-
lating a number of rabbits with tu-
berculosis he confined a number OF
them indoors and turned the others
outdoors. The latter all recovered.
while the former all died.
This experiment shows that a rabbit
living upon it's natural food and under
a natural environment is proof against
tuberculosis. There Is abundant rea-
son to believe this equally true of
man.
In other words. tuberculosis is not
a necessary evil of human life but is
a natural consequence of erroneous
habits and departure from natural con-
ditions. Man Is naturally an outdoor
