If it were not that there are people who are credulous enough to
Ibe deceived by some of these yarns and invest their hardeamsd
money in sure things, whose main value very likely lies in the
scenery that can be viewed from the claims in question, these boost
ing papers would be merely amusing. But in too many cases the dis
trict they are boosting has little or no real merit and the victims the,
interest lose their investment.
If my one is anxious to invest in blue sky, he should pin his
faith to the tales of riches to be that he reads of in these searched
mining-promotion papers. He will be accommodated and received
with open arms.
1t is well enough to attract attention to a district, in fact it is
necessary. but the would-be investor would do well to base his dect
sion for an investment on the report of a competent mining engineer
even at the cost of a few hundred dollars, rather than to take the bait
that is handed out gratuitously by some promoter through the medium
of a newspaper.

The FIGHT AGAINST tuberculosis.

Interest in the anti-tuberculosis cam
paign now being waged throughout the
United States is evidenced by the fact
that in the year 1909 163 new anti-tu-
berculosis associations were formed.
1873 tuberculosis sanatoria and hospit-
ais were established, and 81 tubercu-
losis dispensaries were opened. Com
pared with previous years, this is the
best record thus far made in the fight
against consumption in this country
During the year 1909, 43 more asso-
Citations for the prevention of tubercu-
losis were formed than during the pre-
vious IL months, and 81 more hospitals
and sanatoria were established. On
January 1, 1910, there were in the Uni
ted States 394 anti-tuberculosis associ-
ations, 1856 hospitals and tuberculosis
sanatoria and 265 special tuberculosis
dispensaries.

Head Bookkeeper Must be Reliable.

The chief bookkeeper in large bust
ness house in one of our great West
ern cities speaks of the harm coffee
did for him:
MY wife and I drank our first cup
of Postum a little over two years ago,
and VIC have used it ever since, to the
entire exclusion of tea and coffee. 1t
happened in this way:
about three and a half years ago
I had an attack of pneumonia, which
left memento in the shape of dyspep-
STA, or rather, to speak more correctly,
neuralgia o. the stomach. My cup of
cheer had always been coffee or tea.
but became convinced, after time,
that they aggravated my stomach trou
Bile. I happened to mention the mat
ter to my grocer one day and he sug
gested that I give Postum a trial
Next day it came. but the cook made
the mistake of not boiling it sufficient
ly, and we did not like it much This
was, however, soon remedied. and now
we like it so much that we will never
change back. Postum, being food
beverage instead of drug. has been
the means of curing my stomach trou-
BILE, verify believe, for I am a well
man today and have used no other
remedy.

There was no mistaking now the
sobs that broke her sentences, and my
mind was so a-whirl with questions
that I stammered incoherently.

manded in a voice so low and broken
that 1 scarcely heard.
Yes, at once and the voice van

of the night, but he did not answer,
and I turned to find his gaze fixed
upon one of the open windows.

He crossed the room in a leap and
down upon the shrubbery beneath.
