People Realize the Danger.

AS an indication OF the force of the
crusade against tuberculosis, the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis, in bull
letin issued recently points to the fact
that while 535 per cent. Of the eX-
penditures for tuberculosis in 1909
were made from public resources, APP
preparations made for 1910 indicate
that over 70 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 $S,1S062150 spent for
the prevention and treatment OF tu-
berculosis. $4,362, 1908 was spent
from public money and S3,S17S1l41
from funds voluntarily contributed.
For the carrying on of state, federal
and municipal tuberculosis work in
1910, over 100000 has been appro-
priated. OF this sum, the state legis
latures have granted $i,100,0O0, the
municipal and coNntS bpdies, $3,975,
500 and the federal government
$1,000 900.

THE W0NDERBERRY
OR SUNBERRY
Has Proved a Great Success-Thou-
sands Say It's the Best Thing
They Ever Grew.

The Wonderberry or Sunberry, the
marvellous garden fruit originated by
Luther Burbank, and introduced by
John Lewis Childs, the well-known
Scotsman of Floral Park, n. Y, has
proved a great success all over the
country. Thousands Of people say 1t
is the best thing they ever grew.
Mr.. John Burroughs, the well-known
author, Naturalist and bosom-friend OF
Theodore Roosevelt, says it is the
most delicious pie berry he ever tasted,
and marvellous cropper.
A Director Of the New York Agricul-
tural Experiment Station says 1T fruits
abundantly even in pure sand. In the
short season of Northwestern Canada
it is a godsend, and fruits long after
frost has killed most garden truck.
d. S. Hail. Wichita, Kan, says thirty
people grew it there last season with
perfect satisfaction.
K. S. Enochs, Hammond, La, says
It yields $3.50 worth of fruit per
acre with him. Mrs. j. H. Powers
4732 Kenwood avenue, Chicago, raised
! enough berries on a space 4Xl0 feet
to supply herself and friends.
j. p. Swallow, Kenton, Ohio, says its
equal for all purposes does not exist
Rev II. b. Sheldon, Pacific Grove
Cal, says he likes the berries served
in any and every way.
w. r. Davis, Enon, Va, says it is
true to description in every way, ant
fruits in three months from seed
Judge Morrow, of U. S. Circui
Court, says the Wonderberry is simply
delicious raw or cooked.
Mr.. Childs exhibited one plant fv'
months old bearing 1875 berries
which measured about eight quarts.
Mrs. Hattie Vincent, Hayden, New
Mexico, says it stands the long, hare
droughts of that climate and fruits
abundantly all summer.
It is certainly the most satisfactor,
garden fruit and the greatest Noyelt,
ever introduced.

Congressman A. j. SABBATH Is the
man who some time ago announced his
belief that the bestowal of great Amer
lean fortunes upon foreign noblemen
by their marriage with American wom-
en- involved an economic waste which
ought not to go unchecked. says New
York Evening Sun. He therefore In
troduced a bill in congress providing
for a substantial export tax upon such
dowries BY some curious bad luck
the bill got mislaid in committee ana
has not been heard from since. But
Congressman Sabath's idea did not get
lost. He took it with him, took 1t
out and rubbed it on his sleeve and
looked at it in all his spare moments,
showed it to his friends and talked
about it. Consequently the idea has
grown and amplified under considera-
ton. many persons have written let
tiers to him in praise of it, and so,
though lost to sight, it's memory has
been kept very dear and green indeed
The final result ie that the congress
man has prepared much broadened
bill, which he is going to introduce.
