Only Sure Cure for Tuberculosis.

In view Of the constant agitation
and Misrepresentation with regard to
the treatment of consumption, the
National Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis has issued
statement in which it states that the
only sure cure for this disease Is fresh
air, rest and wholesome food. Hardly
week passes without some quack
doctor" or eminent specialist" In
forming the public that he has at last
discovered the sure cure for tubercu.
losis. After examining every one OF
these so-called cures, several hundred
in number, the National association
states that, one and all, they are mis-.
representations or fakes.

Keeping Healthy.

1t has been demonstrated that the
size. strength and health of every part
of the body depend on good blood and
pure air. If the stomach is supplied
with unhealthful food, or if IT is
loaded with more than the body re-
quires. the blood becomes impure, and
consequently all other parts suffer
more or less from the cause. II the
air you breathe is loaded with efiiu-
via from the lungs and skin, or is d.
luted by being over-heated, the system
suffers for want of oxygen.

Charles Coghlan, one of the best &C
tors ever sent to this country from

1t is a fact known to many people
acquainted with the theatrical profes-
sion that it's members, one and all
have some superstitious fancy. Miss
Coghlan is no exception to the rule,
and hers has to do with the Bells OF
Shannon. The story in connection
with the Coghlan family is herewith
given: Many years, hundreds of years
ago, big, black, bony, handsome
Coghlan eloped with the girl OF his
heart. They did terrible tlRng.
They took with them in their fight
the silver bells of Shannon. They
took them away from Irish soil. They
put to sea in a strong craft, but the
sea was stronger Down to their
graves went young Coghlan and his
bride, and down with them the silver
bells of Shannon. But the bells never
died. At least their phantoms are
here above the sea. When the eldest
Coghlan is dying his eldest child hears
them. Miss Coghlan, in speaking OF
this psychic phenomenon, said my
father used to say to my mother II
