Red Cross Christmas seals.

Arrangements for the sale of Red
Cross Christmas seals for 1910 have
been announced by the National AS
sociation for the Study and Proven
ton Of tuberculosis and the Ameri-
can Red Cross. "A Million for Tuber-
culosis" will be the slogan of the 1910
campaign. Two features of the sale
this year are unique and will bring
considerable capital to the tuberculo-
sis fighters. The American National
Red Cross is to issue the stamps as in
former years, but this organization
will work in close cooperation with
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis, which
body will share in the proceeds Of the
sales. The charge to local associa.
tions for the use of the national
stamps has been reduced also from 20
per cent. to 121s per cent, which will
mean at least $4,000 more for tuber.

States. The stamps are to be desig

PRESSED HARD.
Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When prominent men realize the in
furious effects Of coffee and the change
in health that Postum can bring, they
are glad to lend their testimony for
the benefit of others.
A superintendent of public schools
in Southern state says: MY moth.
er, since her early childhood, was an
inveterate coffee drinker, had been
troubled with her heart for number
of years and complained Of that weak
all over feeling and sick stomach.
"Some time ago | was making an Of
fetal visit to a distant part of the
country and took dinner with one of
the merchants of the place. l noticed
a somewhat peculiar flavor of the cof.
fee, and asked him concerning it. He
replied that it was Postum. | was so
pleased with it that, after the meal was
over, l bought a package to carry
home with me, and had wife pre-.
pare some for the next meal; the
whole family liked it so well that we
discontinued coffee and used Postum
entirely.
Il had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time, she felt SO
much better than she did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach that the
headaches were not so frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was as well
and hearty as the rest of us.
Il know Postum has benefited my
self and the other members of the fam.
lily, but in a more marked degree in
the case of my mother, as she was
victim Of long standing"

mathematics department says so.
Professor Wilczynsh, who teaches
integral calculus, protective difreren-
dal geometry and other advanced sub
jects at the university, announced the
advance Of the Thythmical revolution
In a lecture on Poetry and Mathe-
matics" the other day at Ryerson Ply
Bical Laboratory. Poets and mathe-
maticians, he declared, are expert in
each others arts, and by no means so
different as uninformed persons may
imagine.
The university authority defined the
world as one huge mathematical prob
lem, and his remarks were full Of
comfort for those who may have felt
a lack of the poetical faculty. Book

selves into the poets hall Of fame by

There Is no such thing as one faculty

with other faculties, and It Is true IN
the case Of the mathematics and poe

"A poem and a mathematical compo-
sitiCu are both the expressions Of
ideas. Goethe said that he disliked
mathemaucians because they always
translated everything into their own

Each art has a peculiar language,
and its conventional symbols. Bee
thoven and Wagner spent many years
distributing small black dots over
hVe parallel lines, but the dots were
only the symbols, not the music. In
the same way the mathematical equa-

is the important thing. This is true
Of both poetry and mathematics.
Like poetry mathematics Lay ex-

tion, warmth and food from four to
five months"
A paper recently sent out with the
Endorsement of the national body Of
natural ice dealers says:
"The buyer of ice should really be
as anxious to obtain, and the dealer in
natural ice as quick to advertise, that
he sells old ice, as the green grocer
is to seek trade on the strength of the
freshness of his tomatoes or peas, and
the butter and egg man on his new
laid or freshly made products. Old ice
is pure ice, sterile ice, free from bac-
terra harmful or helpful"
Or. Edwin Jordan, professor Of bac-
teriology in the University of Chicago
and at Rush Medical college, says:
Experiments have shown that
when water freezes the great majority
of typhoid bacteria that 1t contains

survive die off progressively. Accord
ing to Park, not one in a thousand
lives in ice longer than one month
and at the end of six months all are
dead. Relatively few epidemics Of ty-

to the use of ice"
Dr.. Charles II. laval, chemist for

of 80 degrees was not fatal for long
time to many kinds of bacteria.

1T must be understood that soluble
radium when injected is in a free state
in the animal body and carries with
It gaseous emanations which give rise
to the phenomenon Of radio-actiVity
The salt in radium apparatus does not
supply emanation for therapeutic pur

respect unlike the extremely penetrat

They allude TO a paper presented
