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 bulle-
tin 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 $8,1S0,621.5 so spent for
the prevention and treatment of tu-
berculosis, s4,362, ,750.03 was spent
from public money, and $3,817, ,S7I.47
from funds voluntarily contributed
For the carrying on of state, federal
and municipal tuberculosis work in
1910, over $9,O00,0O0 has been appro.
priated. OF this sum, the state legis-
latures have granted $4,100,000, the
municipal and county bodies, $685.

an old-fashioned cravat, low shoes
and home knitted wooden stock

life was the physical appearance and
dress of John Thompson, the man
whose name was known to every bank

States before the civil war as the au-

gress was discussing the bill that aft

Railroads Sin of Omission

cars-any old car would do-because
he had an idea which he thought
might be worth while. He explained
that he believed he could fix that car
up SO that it would be possible to
transport poultry, fruit and other per-
ishable objects and be sure they would
be in good condition when delivered
to the city merchant. .
II told him that l would lend him a
car and two or three weeks later he
asked me to come and see what he
had done with it. He had fitted it up
with couple of refrigerators and
with pipes for ventilation and to carry
of the ice water as it melted. He
told me that a car thus fixed up would
keep poultry and butter and eggs in
good condition for weeks.
That was the beginning of the re-
frigerator car. All that this man pre-
dicted of it came true. But what did
the railroads do about it-what did
they see in this crude invention :?
Nothing-not even the great forces of
the railroad world. They left it to
the beef trust and the fruit trust to
seize upon the idea Those trusts
built and own the refrigerator cars.
But if all the railroads had built re-
frigerator cars of their own-had had
plenty of them-then the beef trust,
for example, would have been unable
to bludgeon the roads into giving
them rebates for furnishing their own
cars, under threat of sending their
business elsewhere. And without re-
bates given to them many of the
trusts of to-day would not have come
into existence, am sure.
"1t is indeed a great sin of omis-
sion that the railroads of the coun-
try have charged up against them.
For years they have been paying the
penalty-and they probably will con-
tinue to do so even unto the third and
fourth generation of the railroad man.

RAW ECZEMA ON HANDS

''1 had eczema on my hands for ten
years. I had three good doctors but
none of them did any good. / then
used one box of Cuticura Ointment
and three bottles of Cuticura Resolvent
and was completely cured. Ny hands
were raw all over, inside and out, and
the eczema was spreading all over my
body and limbs. Before had used one
bottle, together with the Cuticura
Ointment, my sores were nearly
healed over, and by the time 1 had
used the third bottle, I was entirely
well. To any one who has any skin
or blood disease I would honestly ad-
wise them to fool with nothing else,
but to get Cuticura and get well. My
hands have never given me the least
bit of trouble up to now.
my daughters hands this summer
became perfectly raw with eczema.
She could get nothing that would do
them any good until she tried Cuti-

Having Helped Her.

Dudley, Tex-"You may use this
letter in your advertising, if you like.
writes Mrs. Lena Schmidt of this
place.
"a few years ago, I suffered every
month, was relieved right away.
"Cardui has surely done me sight
of good. It brought me back my
health. / am now strong and well
and feel better than in years, and am
doing all my housework."
Every woman needs tonic, to take
when she feels blue, miserable, sick
weak, under the weather.
The tonic to take at such a time is
Cardui, the woman's tonic.
Cardui is also a medicine.
For pain and discomfort, due to fe
male ailments, no medicine is SO good
as Cardui.
The main ingredients of Cardui are
imported direct from Europe, especial
ly for this one woman's medicine and
tonic, and are not for sale at ordinary
drug stores.
Cardui acts specifically on the WON
anly organs, preventing unnecessary
pain and building up womanly
strength.
Try it for your troubles.

two or three days previously,
but the ceremonies of the notable day
itself are the most interesting. The
day opened with the appearance be-
fore the new temples of a specially
chosen virgin, who went through a
peculiar ceremony of hurying in the
ground before the shrine jar con-
tanning offerings to the god of earth.
This observance is intended as an act
of Thanksgiving for the successful com.
pletion of the new abode of the an
cestral spirits.
Later in the day began long pro-
cession of priests in gorgeous robes of
green and gold, chanting weird litan-
les and monotoning sutras to the
strains of archaic instruments. It ia
affirmed that the service has in no re-
spect been changed during the last
thousand years. With the settling
down of darkness came the great func-
ton of removal. A detachment n,
priests, led by princely representa-
tive of the imperial house, went into
the soon to be abandoned shrines to
examine the treasures and to measure
the sacred fabrics. As the latter are
reputed to be more than 100000 fecA
in length, this was no small matter.

The work of rebuilding the sacred
shrines begins almost as soon as the
last reconstruction is complete by the
appointment of an imperial commits
sion intrusted with the important en-.
terprise. Every stage is marked by
religious ceremonies, froEl the telling
of the trees to the driving of the last
nail. TIE completion is emphasized
by special festival of publication,
after which the temples pass from the
hands of the commissioners to the
priestly custodians of the imperial
shrines.
Finally comes the great festival of
removing the ancestral gods and the
sacred treasures and relics to the new

month. 1t is computed that no fewer
than 10000 persons were present on
the night of the actual removal
