New tuberculosis Cure
Based ON Medicine.

Did II ever occur to you that the reason med
ioal doctors have so little success in curing
Tuberculosis is because they really Do NOT

To say that a specific exists for the Of
Consumption is perhaps too strong n statement.
tst In Eckman's Alternative we have a MED
ICINE that has been the means of saving many
a life 10 years OF usefulness and in permanently
curing a large number of Consumptiyes.
Telling every sufferer to gorge himself with
eggs and milk is apparently the limit Of modern
treatment. Certainly a person afflicted with q
wasting disease should he well fed with whole
some. nourishing food: but frequently raw eggs
in quantities cause a digestive breakdown, and
then no food nourishes. As for milk. a very good
food for many, but a producer OF biliousness for
some.
Any diet that keeps a Gonsumptive well nour-

Awakening the Spiritual Self.

The psychological methods Of awaken

nothing. as psychological power in
awakening the spiritual egotism. The
very psychological and physical and
chemical laws of the human being de-

living, that we enlarge the spiritual con-
seriousness by casting our lot on the side
Of the active good and true. The side OF
all of us that will be victorious. in small

Government Insurance.
rom the st. Paul Pioneer Press.

From the st. Paul Pioneer Press.
The Canadian government less than
two years ago inaugurated a system of
life insurance that should be studied by
those in this country who would plunge
us into an old-age pension policy. 1t
amounts, in effect, to governmental en-
enlargement of thrift. which is the logi-
Cal method Of helping those who should
help themselves. The scheme is popular
according to Consul Ryder in report
to the Department Of Commerce and
Labor.
The Canadian law provides that no an
nuity shall amount to more than $500 a
year. and none shall be paid until the
beneficiary is at least ff1y-five years old
The payments on the purchase of an
annuity may be commenced at the age
Of five. They may be started at any
time and paid in almost any amounts.
There are no lapses no penalties and no
cost Of management.
The citizen pays in at any money order
post office, or may forward direct to OF
tawa. such sums as he can spare. The
amount paid Is placed to his credit and
per cent until 1t Is equal to an annuity
of 5000. The beneficiary cannot lose even
If he quits paying, as he will get an
annuity in proportion to what he has
contributed. The payments may be large
or small. or an annuity purchased at one
time IL desired. Arrangements can be
made by which the payments will begin
at any time before fifty-five years old in
case of disability. Last survivor annu-
tiles may be purchased whereby the pay
ments will be made to man or his
wife so long as either Is alive.
The Canadian system Is better than
old-age pension because it ENCOURAGES
thrift and is not species of charity #
enables even those earning modest sums
to save something for rainy day IF
death overtakes them before the annu-
ity is due their heirs get the princina
and interest on all that has been paid
The people know that they are making
an investment in which they cannot lose
and 1t is no wonder they take kindly to
the plan ~

Love, the Greater Wisdom.
From Practical Ideals.

Wisdom always betrays the love In 1t.
Love, Just another warmer, closer name
for wisdom, Is selfiessness, absolute. 1t
is the law and the sweetness of the one
organism which the universe is.
The eternal strange forces, love and
seltiessness. faith and Goodness, have
been submerged, nay hidden, from human
consciousness in the swish and swash
of sentimentalism and hyprocisy. They
stand. none the less, eternal. complete,
the foundation, the one necessity, or the
world, the home and character.
They are the inner fact of man waiting
to enamor him of the chance of COM
pleteness.
Where they are not recognized and
made at home in the character, man
finds his life shredded to scraps and rags.

Public Gifts of Last Year,
the Milwaukee Wisconsin.

From the Milwaukee Wisconsin.
The calculation is made that the money
given to public causes during the past
year by people living in New York city
aggregated S10O 100000. Did ever an
other city in the history Of the world
make such an outlay for unselfish objects
In the course Of a single year? Indisputa-
bly, the record is unparalleled. and so is
that of the country at large, whose gifts
to public objects have aggregated consid-
erably upward of 57,9S0OOO for the
twelve months, the sum named being the
total for last year. 1t is to be noted that
this summing up takes account only of
gifts of money. 1t does not allow a sum
equal to their purchase price for works
Of art Neither does it make allowance
for the myriad gifts of less than 5000
each.

In France, .diminutive Maurice Barat is
now top winning Jockey. He is nineteen,
and the first French rider to capture the
Grand Prix. When eight years old he
rode horse in circus. But he
longed to be a real jockey, though his
mother had no fancy for him adopting
that dangerous calling. He was en-
gagged in selling programs at a Paris
entertainment hall when a well-known
French trainer, amused at his enthusi-
asm for the turf, took him for week
on trial.
Young Barat never went back. In two
years he was an accomplished racing
horseman and won an important pro-
vincial event. Last season he had over
500 mounts, riding nearly 100 winners.

Lichfield to bring the tiny jockey before

Naval Observatory Searching.

The watchers at the Naval Observatory
had their instruments searching the skies
last night for view of a remarkable
new comet discovered in the daytime at
Johannesburg, South Africa, only a few
days ago. Up to a late hour the OBJ

tor, but a telegram from South Carolina
Informed them that a very good observa-
ton had been taken there, and that the
comet was a naked eye affair
This is not Halley's comet, and should
not be confused with that famous and
long-heralded visitor. The astronomers
at the Naval Observatory have not given
the new comet name as yet. They said
last night that it, comes up behind the

of the visitor can be obtained from i'm

heavens will blaze with the light of this
great heavenly body, as it Is said to be
brighter than Venus. Amateur astrono-

What Canada needs badly is more at

studied, but art and architecture are
ignored. The rich men and the art lovers
are doing their share; it remains for the
schools and colleges to do theirs.
