AS an indication of the force of the
crusade against tuberculosis, the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis, in a bull
letin issued recently points to the fact
that while 53.5 per cent. of the ex-
penditures for tuberculosis in 1909
were made from public resources, ap
preparations made for 1910 indicate
that over rs per cent. of the money
to be spent this year will be from fed
eral, state, city and county funds. In
1909, out of the $3.50, 621 so spent for
the prevention and treatment of tu-
b%erculosis, $780, 5O.O3 was spent
from public money, and 1851, Stat
from funds voluntarily contributed.
For the carrying on of state, federal
and municipal tuberculosis work. in
1910, over $4,000, 900 has been appro-
priated. Of this sum-, the state legis-
latures have granted 81, loo, 900, the

POISON IN MIDDLE AGEa.

IN the middle ages so little was known Of
tox1cology that all sudden or mysterious
deaths were attributed to poison. but in the
light of modern knowledge many Of these arr
now easily explained by such diseases az an
pendicitis or gastric ulcer. Even the Borxias
can be absolyed from many Of the poisoninxs
Laid to their charge. Nevertheless, says the
British Medica! Journal, from very early times
In Italy poison was a favorite means OF remov.
ing an enemy. In England. France and Ger.
many cruder methods of vengeance prevailed
and 1t was not until the sixteenth century
that the Medici introduced poisoning into
France. The fashion spread with terrible ran.

OF society to get rid of announcement persons
The art introduced into France by Catherine
de Medici and her followers took root a
deeply as to blossom later into the black
magic OF Louis XIV.'s reign.

1t 10 still true that Lincoln may have died at
the right time for his imperishable fame. He
had conducted an immense nation through the
most tremendous civil war ever waged and
never a single serious mistake. He
did not possess Hamilton's brilliant genius,
but Hamilton never saw the future more sa-
gaciously. He made no pretensions to Daniel
Webster's magnetic oratory, but Webster
never put more truth in oratorical form for
popular guidance. He possessed Benjamin
Franklin's immense common sense and that
twenty-five address on the battlefield Of Get
tysburg is the hiEh-water mark Of American
sententious eloQuence. 1t is fitting that after
such a career his own life should b the last
to be lost in that stupendous struggle. He had
called over zoe, 900 heroes to lay down their
lives, and then his own life was laid down be-
side the humblest private soldier or drummer
boy Of Gettysburg or C~hickamauga."

troubled a great deal by sickness
among the laborers.
He turned his attention at once to
their food and found that they were
getting full rations of meat and were
drinking water from a stream neal by.
He issued orders to cut down the
amour of meat and to increase greatly
the quantity of Quaker Oats fed to
the men.
He also boiled Quaker Oats and
mixed the thin oatmeal water with
their drinking water.
Almost instantly all signs of stomach
disorders passed and his men showed
a decided improvement in strength

acn troubles" writes a lady from q
little town in Missouri.
1T seemed as If l would never be

l was surprised at the ease with which
I digested it. 1t proved to be just what
I needed.
All my unpleasant symptoms, the
heartburn, the inflated feeling which
gave me such pain disappeared. My

to 116 lbs, my figure rounded out, my
strength came back, and l am now

Secretary G. A. Waterman of the
Chamber of Commerce returned to the
city from New Orleans yesterday
morning, after a visit which lasted for
ten days, during which time he at.
tended the annual congress Of the
Southern Secretaries Association,
which convened on Friday last ana
adjourned Saturday night.
Mr.. Waterman reports a very pleas
ant visit and believes that the ex-
changing of ideas with regard to his
profession with other secretaries was
a great benefit to him. 49,
At the congress the subject OF
financing commercial bodies and Or
CARNATIONS was discussed specifically
and generally and in view Of various
local experiences under various local
conditions, Mr.. Waterman thinks that
Mr.. SCOTS plan for Pensacola, 100
men at 800 each, is the best plan
that could be adopted here at this
time.
The southern secretaries generally
believe that in order to advertise and
boost a specific point, the south as a
whole should be advertised. In an ad-
dress Commissioner Of immigration
Watson, of-South Carolina, stated that
over two million people from the south
have been attracted to Canada since
the civil war by the method of adver-
Using the Dominion of Canada as a
whole, which is employed by the Cana
dams and the Canadian commercial
bodies. The question Of immigration
was also discussed at length and in
teresting and instructive addresses
were delivered on the subject.
NJ. B. Trezevant, of New Orleans,
was elected president, and J. S. War
rem, of Memphis, Tenn, was elected
secretary of the congress. Memphis
was selected as the next meeting
place.
