But even that terrible disease Is being stamped out, mainly by the efforts of the American government. Now our State governments, cooperating whh the National government, are taking up the work Of preventing and stamp ing out the millions of cases of agoniz- ing tuberculosis.
 Daring the past year 2s State Legis- latures have appropriated s4,ooo,ooo for the suppression of consumption. Sixty. four laws were passed, IA In reference to building new State institutions, Con. necticut doing It's share.
 Laws prohibiting promiscuous spit ting in public were passed by Connect icut and four other States.
 Ten States have this year granted nearly si00,Oo0 to educate the people about tuberculosis. Americans could not understand how the people of tia- vana and Manila could be SO inditier. ent to the work of sewefing their cities and cleaning up the pest.hreeding til- thy streets, by our government, which caused them to be yearly deeimated by the dread yellow fever, until they were educated. The efforts to educate Amer. leans toget rid of a worse trouble is still slower and harder than il was with the Eilipinos, but il Is progressing. Inter est evoked the past year k seen Ill the fact that one. third of the si,Ro,oun np. ptopriated this year, Is by special le- gislation and for new work.
 The last Congress appropriated near 1 iy sl ,0oo, ,Oao for the maintenance of the three Feneral Saaatoria in New Mexi- co and Colorado.
 i It is estimated that the numerous county and municipal appropriations made or to be made for tuberculosis work, for next year, will aggregate at least sa,oe0, ,ooo-making the official public \ penditure in the United states for the wiping out of tuberculosis al east ss,1uo ,ess1.
 We have been solicited by the Ma tional Association for the study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, to cooper ate with it in disseminating useful in. formation on the subject.

BUENOS AIRES.
4 Ciey With All the Finish of Paris
 or Berlin.

or a Berlin.
 Buanos Aires. the capital of the Ar genuine Republic. is in some respects the most cosmopolitan city in the world. No important European nation but has contributed its capital and it's people to the upbullding of this great metropolis. II also has the distine- ton of being the second city of Latin population in the world. being larger than the largest cities in Italy and Spain.
 There is perhaps no city which ex- hibits greater variety of pleasing contemporary styles of domestic ar rhitecture The city council tries to encourage beautiful building by an nually offering gold medal to the ar chitect who Is found to have planned the most attractive facade and by freeing from the building tax the building thus favored.
 The outward aspect of Buenos Aires is rather that of European than of an American capital. 1t has all the finish of Paris or a Berlin. The ab. sence of the irregular sky line caused in North American cities by the ex- treme height of some business build ings as well as The fact that the ground of the city is quite uniformly built upon. even in the more outlying regions. keeps the city from present ing that unfinished appearance which even our largest cities have.-World To,fay

Deafness lauaot he Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion ot the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that Is hy constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an infiamed con diIion of the mucous lining of the E.us- tachian Tube. When this tube is in- famed you have q rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when il is en- tirelv closed. Deafness is the result and unless the inflammation can be taken cut and this tube restored to its nor mal condition. hearing will he destroy ed forever. nine cases out Of ten are caused hy Catarrh, which k nothing but an inflamed condition of the mu- cous surfaces.

The Arm of the Law.

Tn a certain Canadian city lady was defending an action for a large sum of money which she felt she was not morally entitled to pay. When it looked as if the case would go against her she sold all her real estate and put the proceeds. some $15. 600 or more. in her pockethook-which in her case, as is the custom with some women. was her stocking. The judgment was given against her, and because she would not pay nor tell where the money was she was sent to jail for year Her coun- sel tried to get her released. The fol. lowing conversation formed part of the proceedings:
 You admit" said the judge, that this woman had property to the value of S15.oo0f''
 "Yes. your honor" said the counsel
 And you admit that she sold the property and put the money in her stocking?'
 Yes. my lord"

Communications Solicited.

We have occasionally urged our in- tellieent readers to write their views on questions of importance te their com
 munity and perhaps to n wider extent
 and especially in what they them
 selves feel deep interest. By so do-
 ing they will concentrate attention ei
 others having like interest and also
 would enlighten others now indifferent
 who would be led to take part Tn any
 movement started for the general wei
 fare or for local benefit. Writing Tor ne papers Is an acquired haei, ana stifs up mental activity in others with kindred feelings to begin writing, ana thus bring out n more united and lively feeling In matters of common interest The weekly newspaper is intended to be medium of intereommnnieatioh between citizens that the paper serves and by writing views deemed Naihhoie much good can be done.
