IN Fight ON TUBERCULOSIS
Roman Catholic Church Taking Active
Part in Efforts Being Made to
Clamp Out Disease.

Foremost among the religious bod
les engaged in t, G fight against con-
sumption in the United States Is the
Roman Catholic church, says the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention Of tuberculosis. In this
church, under the direction of Arch
bishop Ryan of Philadelphia, an edu-
cational crusade against tuberculosis
is being carried into all of the paro-
chial an other schools in its control.
AS a result, over 1,25O,00O school chill
dren in 10000 parishes are being
reached. The clergy of the church
have been asked also to instruct their
congregations on the dangers and
methods of preventing tuberculosis,
for the purpose of bringing the sim
pie doctrines of the cure and preven-
tion of this disease to every one of the
100000 Catholics in the United
States.

DIAMOND BEARING DIRT FOUND.

Nashville.-A discovery of dia-
mond bearing dirt within three miles
of Nashville has just come to light.
A sample of the supposed perido-
tite, or diamond-bearing rock, was
found in the bed of a creek few
DAYS ago and sent to the mining de-
partment of the University of Ar
kansas for a report. The response
was that it was diamond dirt in a
high state of disintegration. There
has been no mining, of course, as
yet, and no gems have been found
at this place. Prospecting will be
pushed right along and it is. at least
possible that a rich mine may be
developed. The similarity of the
dirt to that which is only IA miles
distant, is striking. There is no
spasmodic excitement over the dis
covery so far. Those who have Sc
cured options on the land are go
ing ahead in a quiet, business way
to ascertain if the outcropping will
reveal a profitable mine.

FOOD FACTS

A prominent Georgia physician went
through a food experience which he

weak patients, that the food is won

had to give up my work entirely, and
went to the mountains of this state,
but two months there did not improve
me; in fact l was not quite as we'll as
when l left home.
MY food did not sustain me and
it became plain that | must change.
Then l began to use Grape-Nuts food
and in two weeks l could walk a mile

returned to my home and practice,
taking up hard work again. Since that
time have felt as well and strong as

make these facts public"

secure all three roads, and when 1t
is considered that the business men
of this city subscribed $164,000 two

struction of the Pine Bluff North
and South railroad, which did not
turn out at that time as expected,
owing to certain necessary legisla-
