the wife of a gypsy prince, has a

Need Of Beds for consumptives.

The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
says that in seven states, Alabama,
Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oklahoma,
Wyoming and Utah, with a combined
population of over 100000. not one
bed for consumptives has been pro-
vided. In nine states and territories,
Alaska, Delaware, Florida, Kansas,
Mississippi, South Carolina, South Da-
kota, Vermont and West Virginia, the
number of beds for consumpt;ves in
each case is less than fifty, while the
combined population of these states is
over 100000. On the. basis of 400
deaths to million of population,
which is approximately the present
rate in the United States, there would
be nearly 5000 deaths annually from
tuberculosis in these IA states, with at
least 10000 cases of this disease all
the time, and less than 500 beds to
care for them.

Arms and Ieus.

According to the result of many
measurements made at the An
chronological laboratory in London,
the right arm in human beings is, in
a majority of cases, longer than the
left arm. while, on the contrary, the
left leg is longer than the right leg.
Sometimes, however. the relative pro
portions are exactly reversed, but
very seldom does perfect equality
exist between the two sides. The ten
dency Of the right arm to exceed the
left arm in strength is somewhat
greater in men than in women, while
equality of strength in the two arms
occurs almost twice as frequently
with women as with men.

Jeffries Could Have Whipped Dozen
Johnsons Before July A.

New York, July 12-Jim Corbett threw
some interesting sfdelights today on the
Jeffries-Johnson fight, declaring that JEFF
fries could have beaten a dozen Johnsons
before july 4, but that worry over several
things caused his defeat
Corbett said Jeffries worried over the
criticism of the fight by Governor Gfllett,
that he fretted constantly over the news
that his friends were betting all their
money on him, and also the fact that
Billey Delaney, his old manager, was go
ing to aid Johnson.
Corbett, speaking of the final rundown
before the fight, said:
1--WE seen many a fellow who was all
in before a fight. but never one to COM
pare with Jeffries. We found our room
all right and the big fellow stripped for
a rundown. Roger Cornell, the greatest
rubber in the world and one of the best
Judges of condition. started to work over
Jeffries as he lay on the table. Jim was
lying on his stomach. Suddenly heard a
low sob from where I stood to one side.
1t was Cornell He realized that JEFF
fries was all in and it broke his heart. I
tapped him on the shoulder and as he
looked up I shook my head and frowned
at him. The tears were streaming down
his cheeks and the muscles of his face
were working convulsively. But Jeffries
did not heed anything and I doubt great
ly that he would have realized even had
he looked around at the rubber"

EVENING CHAT
By RUTH CAMERON.

Judge Rontoul, an English magis-
trate, recently pointed out in speech
at his club what he considered the
fourteen fundamental mistakes of life.
Three of these fourteen were in one
channel. They were:
ITO try to measure the enjoyment
of others by your own
ITO expect uniformity of opinion in
this world
ITO endeavor to mold the DISPOSE
tions of everybody alike.''
1t rather seems to me as if the
learned judge must have been thrown
into contact lately with the kind of
person who is not happy unless he is
trying to make the people about him
enjoy the things he does, believe as
he does and feel as he does. ae~
" If he. has. + can fully understand
how he happened to aim three of his
mistakes" at this type. 1 only Won
der why he didn't make it the basis
of the whole fourteen.
Is there any human being more ag-
gravating than one of this type?
You meet him everywhere.
Impervious to criticism in his armor
of good intentions. he goes about try
ing to force his views, his likes and
dislikes. his pleasures, his way of do
ing things and his health fads upon the
world.
vacation has an unusually good time
there, and nothing will do but all his
friends go to that particular spot.
They may have vacation haunts that
they are quite satisfied with, but he
is sure that nothing can possibly be as
desirable as his find. and unless all
his acquaintance are exceptionally
strong minded he probably talks some
of them into abandoning their favor
lite haunts- in favor of his choice.
He reads a book that pleases him.
His friends simply must read thaat
book Immediately. He insists upon
loaning his copy to bored and busy
folks who put him off, when he in
quires how they like it, as long as they
can, and then skim it through in rage
and despair.
Something helps his rheumatism,
and at once in his determination that
all his friends who have any suspicious
of rheumatism shall use his cure, he
combines the fulsomeness of patent
medicine testimonial and the incorri-
gibiIity of a book agent.
And all this for what motive?
All because of his extraordinary
love for his friends and his great de-
sire to benefit them?
That's what he thinks-but I beg
to differ.
All because he is aff1icted-or rather
his friends are-with a mania for try
ing to make the rest of the world like
himself
To pass the benefit of your expert
ence on to your friends is one thing
to force it on to them is another.
Which do you do?
