In the very beginning let it be UNDER

every confidence in the future OF this city.
one who firmly believes in Wilmington not

Of this spirit Of progress are found on
every hand among our manufacturers.
among our storekeopors and among our
newspaper and professional men, The at

proves their spirit Of progressivenoss and
our Council IS at every opportunity pro-
viding for the future along the lines OF
modern effort. To return to the natural
advantages Of Wilmington IL has been my

tuberculosis Killed
100000 Last Year
So Secretary COrtelyOu Told
the International TuberCu-
IOSiS Congress

Tho international Tuberculosis Congress.
recently held in Washington, has given a
world of facts concerning the greatest
scourge ever inflicted upon the race; and II
It has not pointed out a positive cure it has
al least shown how the disease can be pre-
vented, with the promise also that there
will soon be forthcoming a serum or anti
toxin which will remove the disease from
the face OF the earth.
When we stop TO consider that a million
lives will be saved annually to the world
by the prevention and cure Of this dis
ease, we can form some idea OF the inn
portance and magnitude OF the subject
considered by this Congress. and Of its
tremendous importance to mankind.
All honor to the men who are engaged
In this work. The world will owe them, as
well as the noble profession to which they
belong. an eternal debt Of gratitude.
We now know that there are millions Of
persons living and moving about in every
day life who are suffering from tuberculo-
sis in one form or another, and it is to this
multitude attention must be given to pre-
vent a future development OF the disease.
It is estimated that 10000 persons die
annually in the United States from con-
sumption. or tuberculosis. and from any
way we look at it this is a dreadful
figure to consider.
II this tremendous loss to the country
occurred annually by the destruction Of the
population Of some splendid city of 10000
from some preventable cause. all the
strength and power OF the Government
would be stretched forth TO put a stop to
the calamity; yet quietly and insidiously
tuberculosis is yearly effecting this fear
full loss Of life and the Government scarce
ly recognizes the fact.
In every city and considerable village in
the United States there should be pro-
vided, under authority OF law, an organi-
zation for the prevention and cure of tu-
bercuIosis under the supervision of medical
men. These organizations should be pro-
vided with accommodations for the treat
mcnt Of incipient and advanced cases of
the disease and should also have authority
to safeguard those who are predisposed by
enforcing hygienic conditions.
The advanced or incurables should be
separated from the incipient or durable
cases as they are the centers OF infec-
lion and the greatest danger to the public

PLANTING TREES
FOR CROSS TIES
Pennsy Sets Out 100000
as Well as Much Shrub
berry

The Pennsylvania Railroad is plan
ming TO set out this spring more than
100000 trees. This viii make a total
of 3,430.OO0 trees which have been
planted in the last three years to pro-
vide for some of the company's future
requirements in timber and cross ties.
This constitutes the largest forestry
plan yet undertaken by any private
corporation.
Heretofore the company's forestry
operations have been confined to a
limited area between Philadelphia and
Altoona. This year, however, $1,000
trees are being set out on tracts OF
land near Metuchcn and New Bruns-
wick. ~ J. In addition, there are
to be planted within the next month
207, 900 trees near Conewago, Pa, $4,000
in the vicinity OF Van Dyke, $4,000 at
Lewistown junction, 1000 at Pomeroy,
and 2O5.0 900 at Denholm.
The bare places in the locust tree
plantations. which were started some
wears ago. are being filled in with new
seedlings, IN order that these may fol-
low as a second growth after the older
trees have been removed for fence
posts and other purposes. OF the

The policy OF encouraging reforesta-

actively pursued this spring. Some

tically at cost. TO private corporations
and individuals. In addition. 5000

A special effort has been directed this
season to growing ornamental shrub
