Ignorance Breeds Disease.

a pathetic Illustration of the way in
which the public is being deceived by
quack cures for consumption is found in
letter received. recently by the Ma
tiona Association for the Study and
Prevention Of tuberculosis.
The letter came from woman in the
mountains of Western Maryland, and
was addressed as follows
POSTMASTER,
Jersey City,
New Jersey.
"Will you please give this letter to
the man who called out trains in jersey
City , years ago last Feb. 9th in the
afternoon.
The letter was referred by the Post
master of Jersey City to the National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis. 1t reads:
Dear Sir:
II want to find the man who cured
himself of consumption by using Oil of
---. Do you remember of very
sick man his wife 2 children & mother
who missed connection & had to wait all
afternoon fer train. You told my son
& myself of your cure. | remember
part of the directions which was, take
one drop the first day, two drops the
second day, & so on till it went up to 80
drops. Now | want to know what to do
when the 30 drops have been reached.
Does the directions say to continue the
80 drops each day or go back to one
drop. This is what / want to know. |
will be very grateful if you will write
r1aa he. ftil Il nd
soon as possible. My son lived only 6
weeks after we got home. he did not
try the ---. felt he was too near
gone. Now have daughter who is in
need of help, and wants to try it. Hope
you will get this letter. But if you
should not and it falls in the hands of
anyone who knows of the treatment
will please answer this. | will enclose
stamp for an answer. Hope | may get
it soon.
Very gratefully yours,
The National Association calls atten-
ton to the fact that according to this
letter, one life at least has already been
lost on account of ignorance of the
proper methods of treatment and pre-
vention of tuberculosis, and another
member of the family has been infected
by the carelessness of the former con-
sumptive.
With the present rapid growth of the
tuberculosis movement the number
of so-called cures" for consumption is
being increased almost daily. Hundreds
of quack doctors, professors, and
institute" are advertising that they
can cure consumption for small amounts,
with the result that thousands of dupes
are yearly cheated out of their lives as
well as their money. Besides these,
cures" and medicines of all sorts,
numbering now several hundred, are
sold for the deception of the public.
The National Association brands all of
these Institutes, doctors, professors,
and cures as frauds and receptions.
The only cure for consumption is fresh
air, rest, and wholesome food.

One Vermont paper is of the opinion
that the people of the state will take
plenty of time to look over the (guber-
natOriaD field and that when they mani
fest their choice they will insist that he
measure up to the highest standard of
Vermont executives. This sounds well
but unfortunately is far from the truth.
The people of the state do not spend any
time looking about for gubernatorial
candidates whose fitness is undoubted.
If they participate at all in the prelimi-
nary selection it is merely to glance
casually over the list of those who are
seeking the nomination. As long as
the candidates bear respectable reputa-
tons the people of the state are content
to let the newspapers and the politicians
fight it out for the nomination. Thus il
is seldom the best man who wins but he
who has the best organization. After
the nomination the people of the state,

Speaker Joseph G. Cannon is an old
fashioned friend and consistent hater.
He rewards the friends who stick by
him and Furnishes those who do not.
This may not be "civil service, but it
is intensely human, and is exactly what
Vermont governors, congressman and
senators have done for years. In fact,
the absolute dominion of the machine in
this state results in the recognition of
the spoils system. Office-holders and
office-seekers - and Vermont politics
reek with them-know this. Vermont
newspapers know it. Speaker Cannon
knows it. But the latter is just fear
less enough and Independent enough to
use the official axe and tell just why,
where smoother operators would talk
largely and vaguely about the needs of
the public business and advantage of
change. Let us have less talk about
an ''obsolete Cannon" and more reali-
cation of the fact that Gov. Prouty and
the Vermont delegation in Congress are
in exactly the same boat. - Rutland

THE GIRL AND THE GAME.

EEE took her to the ball game, and & when they had found their places 4A lie showed her where the players
 stood and told about the bases. With patient care he showed her that the
 umpire did not play, Explaining that on every point he had
 the final say. He pointed out the benches where the ri-
 val players sat Ard made it clear that club is not the
 same thing as bat. She thanked him prettily and said she
 thought that it was splendid To have the chance to see game and be
 so well attended. And when he carefully set forth Ike
 pitchers plan and aim She thanked him once again and said that
 she was glad she came He told her why the man was out and
 showed her how fly When caught before it struck the ground
 would make him out and why. He did not give her any chance to ask a
 single question He analysed the game for her without the
 least suggestion. With finger pointed at the men he showed
 how 1t was done; Showed how the coacher signaied to the
 men to stay or run. And while with cheers the very air above
 the field was jared He showed her how to mark the run upon
 the little card. She smiled a gentle smile and said she
 wished she had his knowledge. That she had tried to play the game one
 year at Smassar college. He grinned in pity. then he told in meas
 ured terms and slow The inner motives of the game as then
 and there or show. Then came the ninth: the score was tied;
