For Proper Care of tuberculosis.

FOI T1OPSi SdIG VI 01SiSdioSfos
According to the National Associa-
ton for the Study and Prevention Of
tuberculosis, New York state leads
In the number of beds for consump-
tives provided up to May 1, with 5,476
beds; Massachusetts, is second with
2,403 beds; Pennsylvania, third, with
2,347 beds; Colorado, fourth, with 1,489
beds; and New Mexico fifth, with
1.104 beds. AS yet, not one state In
the country has made adequate pro-
vision for its consumptives. New
York has set itself the task Of having
mo uncared-for tuberculosis in 1916"
and several cities in other parts of
the country have adopted similar pro-
grams. The national association
says that tuberculosis will not be
stamped out until all cases of this
disease are cared for either in their
homes or in institutions. With this
end In view, efforts will be made to
increase the number of hospital beds
in this country to at least $4,000 by
May 1, 1911.

The Master-Man.

Ebert Hubbard in The Cosmopolitan
The master-man is simply a man
who is master of one person-himself
When you have mastered yourself
you are fit to take charge Of other
people.
The master-man is a person who
has evolved intelligent industry,
concentration, and self-conidence
until these things have become the
habit of his life.
Industry in it's highest sense means
conscious, useful, and intelligent
effort. Carried to certain point, in
dustry is healthful stimulation-it
means active circulation, good diges-
tion, sound sleep.
Industry is a matter of habit.
We are controlled by our habits
At first we manage them, but later
they manage us. Habits young are
like lion cubs-so fluffy and funny!
Have a care what kind of habits you
are evolving; soon you will be in
their power,
tits habit that chains us to the tread
mill and makes us subject to the will
of others. And it is habit that gives
mastership-of yourself and others.
The highest reward that God gives
US for good work is the ability to do
better work Rest means rust.
So we get the formula: Acquire
and evolve physical and mental in.
dustry by doing certain things at
certain hours. The Joy and satifac-
tion of successful effort-overcomiDg
obstacles, getting lessons, master
ing details which We once thought
ditficult-e7olve into habit and
give concentration.
Industry and concentration fixed
in character as habits mean self-con
fidence.
Industry, concentration, and self
confidence spell mastership.
So from the man we get the mas
ter-man.

Lee in Statuary Hall.
Bristol Herald-Courie

Bristol Herald-Courier
Discussing the protest OF certain
Grand Army camps against the plac-
ing of the statue of Gen. Lee in statu-
airy hall, the Mobile Register says:
Robert E. Lee needs no vindica-
tion. Therefore, if we could speak for
Virginia we would withdraw the
statue of the General from the statu-
ary hall and say that Virginia can
afford to wait until the entire coun-
try asks that it be reinstated there. !"
The Chattanooga Times comment
ing on the Mobile papers suggestion,
says:
: "It isn't a matter of vindication; it
is simply matter of right. Ii the act
OF Congress creating the statuary
hall means anything it is that each
State shall have the right to select
the two of it's greatest men, whose
busts are to. occupy the niche provi-
ded for it. The question is shall Vir-
ginia make her own choice or shall a
lot of irreconcilable south-baiting
politicians decide for her?"
Our Chattanooga contemporary s
view is that of the press generally, OF
all sections, and it is the correct one.
Virginia's right to select the men
whose statues shall represent her in
the national Vahalla is not to be
questioned, and she should not pay
the slightest heed to the noise oI
northern demagOgues who welcome
such opportunities to fan the dying
embers of sectional hatred. Ii these
professional patriots at the north
should be strong enough to influence
Congress in this matter, and Con
gress should require the removal ol
Lees bust, then, and not until then
should Virginia remove it. And Will
it she should withdraw the statue o
that other illustrious son. Georgt
Washington, leaving vacant the two
inches supposed to have been reserved
for her. But Congress will never tax,
such action.
If Ohio and Michigan and Massa
chusuetts and other States in which
Grand Army posts have demanded
the removal of Lees statue are il
sympathy with the demand, the,
might remove eftigies they hav
placed in statuary hall until sue
time as the immortal Leo shall b
withdrawn. But those States are no
in sympathy with that demand. Th
protest does not come from them
but from a few south-haters her
