TO PREVENT AND CURE CON
SUMPTION.

The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
has promulgated certain rules which
should be generally known and observ'
ed in the interest of the public health.
Briefly stated they are to the follow
ing effect:
Tuherculosis is a communicable dis
ease.
tuberculosis is a preventable dis
ease
tuberculosis is durable disease.
If you have steady cough, go to
doctor Don't waste your money on
reputed cures.
Don't give consumption to others.
Don't let others give consumption to
you.
Don't spit on sidewalks; it spreads
disease.
Don't spit on the floor of your shop
When you spit, spit in the cutters
or into spittoon.
Have your own spittoons half full Of
water and clean them out at least
once day with hot water
/ Don't cough without holding hand
kerchief or your hand over YOU
mouth.
Don't live in rooms where there 1:
no fresh air.
Keep at least one window open Fl
/ your bedroom day and night.
Fresh air helps to kill the consunlp
ton germ.
Fresh air helps to keep you strong
and healthy.
| Don't eat with soiled hands; vast
them first.
Don't drink Intoxicating drinks
they will do you no good, but vii
make it harder for you to get well.
Don't sleep in the same bed wit
any one else and, if possible, not il
the same room.
4 Good food, fresh air and rest are tn
best cures. Keep in the sunshine a
| much as possible and keep your wiz

and day Fresh air night and day i
good for you
Go to hospital while you can an
before it is too late. There you ca
get the best treatment, all the rest, al
the fresh air and all the food yo
need
Readers of The Gate City should CT
these rules out and post them wher
they can be readily seen in order tha
people may be reminded daily of III
simple precautions necessary to healti
BY doing so many lives may be saved

Money In Iowa Land.

Bloomfield Republican: Less than
twelve years ago, VIII Morrissey
bought a farm about three miles
northwest of Abba. He paid $1,000
for the property, which proved a mon
ev maker from the beginning. A few
days ago he sold his farm for $4,000
and removed to Abba, to take 1t easy
for the remainder of his days. This
is by no means an exceptional case,
as thousands OF Iowa farmers have
done much better in the past dozen
years. But 1t shows what man can
do IN Iowa who Is willing to work
and tries his luck on the soil. Mr.
Morrissey had just $1,000 when he
began farming near Abba.

find them and succeed in bringing

The Pole Finder.


Hooray!
They say
The Pole is found!
Ger frozen bay, and strait, and sound.
Where ice tides roll
That long sought goal
Is pinched,
And run to ground.
A wealth OF praise
In cheers and lays
Greet Cook!
The way he took.
Mid ice and SHOWS
Ger bergs and foes,
Until at last he proudly stood
Up where there is no latitude!
Hooray for Cook!
In the great book
or fame
His name
In ink of gold shall now be writ:
He trailed the Pole and cornered it!'
Where hosts have failed he found the
spot
That's what.

EAST ORANGE. y. j., Jan. 22.--President
Arthur I. Hadley Of Yale University was
the principal speaker at the annual dinner

In answering the question What is the
sort OF wisdom that university should
teach and that her students should
learn Ire compared the university Ideals
Of Harvard with those Of Yale.
Harvard stands for the position that
man should complete his college course
before beginning professional study,
he said. Let ii be a short course II he
will-three years instead OF four-but let
him be devoting those three years TO
culture and not to professional work.
Yale, on the other hand, encourages man
to study the theory of his profession as a
part Of the work for the bachelors degree.
We believe in this policy not simply be-
calse IL saves the time Of the student,
though that Ia a great incidental advan-
tage, but because II also increases the
students intensity of application. Who're
Harvard insists on making the student
broad at the risk Of allowing him to grow
weak, Yale insists on making him strong
at the risk Of allowing him 10 grow mar
row. Time alone can show which OF these
principles Is the better. Each place has
problems enough Of its own not To spend
time criticising the work OF others"
