WONDERED WHY.
Found the Answer Was "Coffee,"

Many pale, sick,y persons wonder for
years why they have to suffer so, and
eventually discover that the drug-caf-
feine-in coffee is the main cause of
the trouble.

FIGHTING THE WHITE PLAGUE.
Number of State institutions IL
Double During the Past
Two Years.

Sixteen state sanatoria, % county
hospitals and 81 municipal hospitals
for tuberculosis have been erected
and provided for since January /,
1909, says a recent bulletin of the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis
Within the last two years the num-
Der of state institutions for tubercu-
losis has doubled, and the number Of
county and municipal institutions has
increased from about 80 to 80. The
expenditures of public money for the
treatment of tuberculosis also has
more than doubled. Not less that
100000 of state money was appro-
priated for tuberculosis institutions in
1909, when 43 legislatures met, and
over 100000 in 1910, when only II
legislatures were in session. The ap-
preparations of counties and cities for
tuberculosis hospitals and sanatoria
in the last two years will aggregate
fully $2,500,000, bringing the total
of official appropriations for tubercu-
losis hospitals up to over 100000
in the past two years.
In spite, however, of this good show
ing, the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
states that not .one-tenth of the pub
lie provision for tuberculosis that is
needed has been made. More than
100000 tuberculosis patients are con-
stantly without proper institutional
treatment.

Kept Umbrella Thirty Years.

A faithful old umbrella which has
shielded the family of DR.. James A.
Mullican of Greenwood avenue from
the storms of 80 years, was stolen on
Sunday. During the rain on that day
the physician lent the umbrella to E.
A. Seek, and while the latter was in a
store some one stole it.
THE umbrella belonged to my faith

more than thirty years." said Doctor
Mullican the other night ut has been

ITO persons who are unable to keep
the same umbrella for more than thir-
ty days this may seem incredible, but
it is true" concluded Doctor Mullican
with a smile.-Chicago Tribune.

The Way of Life,

1t Is being said of an elderly man in
business in Atchison: "He can't stand
punishment as he formerly could"
And there is punishment to be en-
dured in making a living; don't forget
it. Look over your own experience,
and you will detect punishment every
hour of the day. If it isn't at home, it
is on the street car or on the road.
How many ways there are to punish
a man who tries his best to get along
and behave himself. And after a man
gets old it is more evident every year
that the poor fellow can't stand pun
ishment as he could when he was
younger-Atchison Globe.

CHRISTMAS PROVERBS


A prudent quotation on the bill of

too much. as they that starve with
nothing

Christmas variety, for that splendid
tendril is creeping through the whole

When does 'jocund day stand tip

VERACITY OF THE BIBLE
After Visit to the Holy Land Even
Skeptic Must Be Con-
.-. WINGED.

One thing cannot fail to impress
every visitor to Bethlehem, and, in
deed, to the Holy Land generally, who
is imbued with true Christian faith
and a proper sense of the sanctity
of the location and Of the events that
have transpired there, and that is
the more than remarkable correspond
ence between the things and places
shown us today as having been asso-
ciated with the life and work of the
Saviour and other events that enter
into the structure of our religious
faith and the descriptions and ac-
counts Of them, as furnished us in
the pages Of the Holy Scriptures.
They agree with them in every re-
spect and it is impossible, after care
fully considering and comparing them,
to doubt their identity, so exactly
are they in accord with the Bible
narrative.
The work in the fields, the arrange
ment of the buildings, the very articles
Of diet and clothing of ancient days
are plainly recognizable in the doings
and surroundings of today Indeed,
where modern methods have not be-
come obtrusive the manners and Gus
toms of the people remain much the
same as in the days of the presence
on earth of the Saviour. Between the
descriptions given in the Bible of
localities, climatic and geogra phical
conditions, distances, ETC., of these
times and those of today there is
hardly any discrepancy. Even
skeptic, considering this remarkable
accord Of circumstances with the
Biblical narrative. cannot but be con-
vinced of it's veracity; to the believer
it comes as a wonderful conviction,
a satisfactory confederation or en-
enlargement to see things as those
who described them SO graphically
saw them so long ago.-Columbian
Magazine.
