Work to suppress white plague.

; During the year ending September
81. 1909, 81 out OF 40 legislatures in
session considered measures relating
to tuberculosis. The enormous sum
of nearly $3.500.000 was appropriated
for the suppression Of the white
plague. Fifty-six laws pertaining to
the prevention of consumption were
passed. Eight new state sanatoria
were provided for; six states passed
laws permitting the erection of coun-
ty tuberculosis hospitals, and eight
states adopted laws requiring the
careful reporting and registration Of
tuberculosis. In addition to these
provisions made by the various states.

Queen Alexandra and Mrs. Humphry
Ward could be submitted for trial,
nothing but the notorious lip loyalty
of the Englishman could give the YER
dict in favor of the reigning queen.
With Victoria, of course, the dispute
would have been too unequal, for she
was an imperious young lady and old
lady; and all the literary lights of her
era-except, perhaps, Thackeray-fail
to show SO pronounced an impression
as she made on the manners and NOR
ais of her times, while India became
her empire because Disraeli, as her
prime minister, comprehended how
much she longed for the title, albeit
Great Britain already enjoyed the sub
stance. Yet that very title, manufac-
tured from thin air to add another
crown, has IN the end served to rivet
the chains of ownership upon half a
continent in Asia. ~
But, as things go soberly at present,
the odds Of power all lie with the
woman novelist, whose influence all
England admits freely.
AS things go, too; in France, the
drama gives to the world another
queen, whose dominance no one dares
deny. Sara Bernhard can still lay
her slender hands upon the Utmost
souls of men and hale them forth
until their owners are her humble
slaves-and this by no wiles OF beau
ty and no ravishment of form.
Her Position Won.
She won her distinguished position
through such mazes of rivalries and
cabals as few queens, excepting those
of the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries, have encountered-deeply
laid schemes of astute schemers,
whose hatreds did not finch at the
most detestable attacks. She has en-
dured, and Is now more priced by her
republican compatriots than are the

loyal subjects.

STILL HOPES TO
DEFEAT STANDARD
District Attorney Sees Some Hope Of
Clinching the Fine of Lands
Against Standard.

CHICAGO. Jan. 5.-That fine of
forty millions may yet be assessed
against the Standard is the belief of
the district attorneys here in the re-
trial of the big case for rebating. He
holds that while the circuit court over
ruling Lands declared his ruling that
each shipment was the basis for fixing
.-.e offense was wrong, he didn't say,
as the Standard attorneys contend.
tlat each settlement was a bas-
is The district attorney holds that
the same basis for fixing the offense
may be made in the re-trial as in the
original and only minor changes in the
rulings of Lands will be necessary
to make it legal. If the Standard con-
tention holds the biggest possible fine
is two million. The Indiana Standard
is said to have received ten million in
rebates. Such ruling" said Sims.
seems to put a premium on the dis
obedience of law and the Standard
might go on for an indefinite period

might have received many times that
