Three Millions Attend Consumption Exhibits.

Evidence Of the popular interest in
the anti-consumption crusade is given
in n statement made today by the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of Tuberculosis, to
the effect that during the year end
ing August 81, nearly 100000 people
have attended tuberculosis exhibl-
tions in various parts of the country.
Besides the three travelling tuber-
culosis exhibitions of the National
Association for the Study and Pre-
vention of Tuberculosis, there are
twenty-eight exhibits of this kind in
various parts of the country. Four
years ago there were only three such
displays in the entire country.
Over 100000 people have attend
ed the three travelling exhibits of the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis, which
have visited ten different states and
territories during the year just closed.
The three exhibits are now stored for
the summer months.
TIL Southern Exhibit has been
shown in Tennessee, Alabama, Flor
ida and Georgia in ten different cit
les and has been viewed by about
100000 people. Thousands of 9TH
ers have been reached by the lit
erature and posters distributed, so
that the number of people who have
been educated directly or indirectly
about tuberculosis by this exhibit is
considerably over 100000.
The Western Exhibit of the Ma
tlonal Association has worked during
the past year mainly in Kansas, Me-
braska and Northern Missouri. In
all, fifteen cities have been reached
and over 10000 persons have visited
the exhibit.

cannot be amended until the next

THE END or THE WORLD.

THE END OF THE WORLD.
What will be the end of the world :?
This is a question which was former
ly asked of soothsayers and proph-
cts and often answered by them with
definite statements and dates which
were to those who believed them, to
the last degree disquieting. Such
prophets and prophecies have all been
proved erroneous and the Millerites
and their kin have all been laughed
out Of serious consideration. Sci
ence has taught us better, and yet
science which seeks always new facts
and revised reasoning is now teach
ing us that our faith In the safety OF
the solar system is misplaced.
Instead of the eternally change
less procession of the planets about
the sun and of our solar system about
some other, greater sun. astronomers
find grave evidence of what seems dis
order in what we thought was per-
petual perfection, disorder which
may, indeed probably will. sometime
wreck our own planet. 1t is possible
--astronomcally considered II is
probable-that, unseen within the re-
mote confines of space the vast mass
of dead world is hurting toward our
sun with inconceiyable velocity. In
time the two will come together. and
the immeasurable heat produced Will
make gas of granite and floating cloud
of nebulae of us all; for thus worlds
die and thus they are Immediately
in process of being born again, for
out OF the condensation of this neb-
ula will come the beginnings of a
new solar system which will, in the
countless aeons OF astronomical time,
go through the same process of evoiu-
tion and decay.-From "The End OF

William Il. Foore Of Wallace, Idaho

to Shoshone county to the state su-
preme court to have set aside judg-
ment, which, IL allowed to stand, will
deprive him of ranch worth 10000

he bought paino OF Spokane music

reasonable amount, but he believes
that 200 to one shot Is a rather
long price to place on him. His chief
contention is that he had no know

result that his ranch near Cueur d.
