Among the numerous agencies
which are today joining in the fight
against tuberculosis, such as the
school, church and labor unions. the
press is in the foremost rank, de-
clares the Detroit (lIich.) Saturday
Night. Never before in the history
of American journalism has the press
taken such lively and continued IN
terest in a subject pertaining to hui
man health. When it is considered
that tuberculosis alone kills nearly
100000 people in the United States
every year, and that there are at the
present time at least 100000 cases
of this disease in the various parts OF
the United States a sufficient war
rant for the activity of the press is
given.
The national association declares
that consumption will never be wiped
out until the prevalent ignorance
concerning this disease is overcome.
To combat successfully this lack of
knowledge. immense amounts of lit
erature Of various sorts are being
distributed constantly. Within a
years time thousands of tons of leaf
lets, aggregating over 100000, 800
pages, are distributed by the various
organizations engaged in the warfare
against tuberculosis. But more than
all OF these individual agencies. the
national association believes that the
press is the greatest means of edu.
eating the masses concerning the dis.
ease. If the present rate of interest
on the part of the newspaper world
continues, it is estimated that within
a few years every man, woman and
child in the United States will have
learned the simple doctrines of tuber.
culosis.

The POLE.

The question has been much asked
how an explorer can determine when
he has reached the pole. The meth
cd, in fair weather, is simple enough,
and the chief difficulty, in the opinion
Of astronomers, lies in the fact tina
the sun is never far above the hO1
lion, so that there is room for erro
due 10 haze. At the pole, of course,
the sun moves apparently in a cir
Gle about the horizon, the slight
Corkscrew motion up in the spring
and down after the midsummer hight
is reached being invisible to the eye.
The observer, knowing the longitude
by which he approached, and having
the Greenwich time by his chrome
meter, would have simply to take,
wi his seXtant, repeated Observa-
tons through the day, recording the
altitude Of the sun above the hor1-
zOn, its bearing with reference to
he magnetic pole, and the precise
time If no level horizon we're avail
able, the image Of the sun in dish
| of mercury gives a substitute, and
if mercury is disturbed by vibration,
leveled mirror has been found to
give very fair results. The closeness
| of the measurement would depend
partly on the experience of the OBJ
server but iii some degree also on
atmospheric conditions. But a ser
| les of reasonably good observations
of the sun at different points on the
horizon should leave little room for
| serious error.

as the average number born by their
sisters and cousins who do not GO
to college. The birth rate of col
.lege educa ed women is less than
hat of the rest of the community,
but so is the birth rate Of the young
women Of their age in the families
from which the college educated wo-
men come.
The principle is simple. In fami,
lies with means, education, the adj
vantages of life and an income above
the average, the average birth rate
is low This is conspicuously true
in he British peerage. The birth
rate is so low there-as was recent,
ly poin,ed out-that families are
constantly tending to die out. Few
families in he peerage, numbering
in all over seven hundred families
and more, are older in their line as
peers than 200 years.

AN ARTISTS SAD EXPERIENCE
Raised Fine Fruit in Georgia, Only to
Be Looted of Profit in Chicago.


Be Looted of Profit in Chicago.
Forest Crisey in June Everybody's.
An artist living in Chicago acquired
a little fruit farm in one of the most
productive regions of Georgia, where
several of his relatives had settled.
Although he was seldom able to visit
the place, which was operated by his
brOther-in-laW, The artist took a keen
interest in his country holdings, and
talked proudly to his city neighbors
and associates about his farm. Early
in the season he received word from
his brOther-in-laW that the first crop
of grapes had been gathered, packed
and shipped to a South Water street
commiss on house. They are beau
ties,' the letter informed him Finer,
sounder, sWeeter grapes never went
out of Georgia"
Instantly the artist made out a list
of a dozen friends to whom he had
boosted of his farm. Then, on the
day after the shipment was due to ar
rive, he went to the commission
house to buy a dozen baskets of his
own grapes for his special friends.
His eye lighted with the pride OF
possession when he saw the baskets,
stamped with his own brand, stacked
up on the sidewalk and inside the
cOmmtss on house,
"Any grapes2" he inquired.
Finest ever grown out of doors, "
responded the salesman, til.ing a bas.
ket to display its contents.
Every basket just as sound as this
One,' he continued; mot an unsound
cluster in the whole shipment"
What's the price?" asked the art.
list, wishing that his friends were
with him to hear the praises of his
crop.
"A dollar a basket" answered the
I salesman. THAT may seem a little
high, but i just happens that there
isn't another decent basket of grapes
on the street today, and we can get a
fancy figure for every one in this
shipment. They'll be gone in almost
no time"
The artist made his purchase of a
| dozen baskets and ordered them de,
livered to his local grocer, with
whom he had arranged for their dis,
tribution to his friends. He also
bought several baskets for his own
use, and found that the salesman had
not overpraised the fruit
Later he received a letter from his
farm manager enclosing the account
of the sale returned by the commits
sion merchant, saying that the grapes
had been received in bad condition
owing to the melting of the refrigera
| tor ice, and that It had been neces
sary to throw a large part Of them on
the dumps as absolutely unstable
| The return was made upon a gross
| average price of % cents a basket
After deducting freight and commits.
sion charges the net accounting was
for an average of 10 cents a basket.

American woman is in a category

national institutions, the air of lib

PAPERS WHITE PLAGUE FOE.
Publicity of Press Gives Great Aid in
MAR on Consumption.

War on Consumption.
Consumption is receiving nearly
half a mile of publicity week, ae-
cording to a statement which. the Ma
tfonaI Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis recently
issued. According to statistics com
piled by that body, the various news
papers of the United States printed
articles concerning tuberculosis
which, when measured, amounted to
over $4,000 column inches of space
in two weeks.
The investigation which the ma
tionaI association conducted included
all of the daily and weekly news
papers throughout the United States
as we'll as some of the larger journals
and magazines. In the two weeks
which were taken as a standard it
was found that 51,557 column inches
of space was devoted to the subject
OF tuberculosis. If all of this matter
were gathered together at one time
it would make newspaper the ordi-
nary size of 369 pages printed solid,
without any advertisements, all on
the subject Of tuberculosis. If it
were arranged in one long chain, it
