WAR ON TUBERCULOSIS

Interest in the anti-tuberculosis
campaign now being waged
throughout the United States is
evidenced by the fact that in the
year 1909, 1G3 new anti-tubcrcu-
losis associations were formed, 1873
tuberculosis sanatoria and hospi-
tails were established, and 81 tuber.
culosis dispensaries were opened.
Compared with previous years,
this is the best record thus far
made in the fight against con-
sumption in this country.
During the year that has passed,
the sanatoria and hospitals of this
country treated over $1,000 pa
tients, giving total Of nearly
100000 hospital days treatment.
OF the 81 900 patients treated,
about one-half were discharged rs
improved to greater or less ex-
tent, and a large percentage OF tho
incipient cases were discharged ms
cured

TELLS OF GOOD THINGS

j. w. Shaft of Monte Vista,
Colo, marketed 5 carloads of pea
fed lambs yesterday. Mr.. Shaft
still has back on feed several car.
loads. He says that it is now safe
to say that not more than 10000
lambs are left in the whole San
Luis Valley. Two years ago Mr..
Shaft went to the San Luis Valley
from eastern Ohio. He now owns
$50 acres of land, and is farming
considerably and feeding a good
many sheep. "We have a great
valley" said Mr.. Shaft. "And
what we have lacked all along to
make it still greater is sugar beet
factory We have just signed up
and finished the details for the
location in the valley of a factory,
together with the necessary rail-
roads leading out in different d.
rections for hauling in the beets.
When the plant is finished and the
work begins, then watch us grow.
parts of the valley have all
along been considered worthless
for the reason that the ground
contains alkali. Land of that sort
is not good for any other crop ex-
cept beets, that we know of. But
on that land which has been lying
there unsettled all these years, will
be large bee, fields, and so the
whole valley will then be made
valuable. The other parts have
already been developed, and are
producing great crops of wheat,
oats and barley, not to say any
thing about peas. The peas are
used for fattening sheep and hogs.
When the beet factory is estab-
lished there will spring up feeding
lots where cattle and sheep will be
fed out on the pulp, and so the
valley will be producing fat cattle
in addition to the fed lambs and
good hogs which We are now pro-
ducing. We are all feeling jubi-
nent over the beet sugar boom, and
no doubt land values will be adj
vanced on that account all over
the valley."-kansas City Drov-

FREE THOUGHT

The time was when the people
looked to certain leaders for wis
dom and RETAINED from exercising
their own minds unless it was in
accordance with popular thought
and customs. That age is happily
passing away and new ideas are
studied and investigated The
boss system that formerly issued
an edict, that thus far and no
farther shall free thoughts of men
extend is no longer recognized by
thinkers. Even heretics are now
permitted to live their allotted
time and to talk freely so long as
they keep quiet on the streets and
do not disturb the peace.
Today man has the right to
criticise those in high political
position-unless they be supreme
judges. He has the right to ques-
ton the wisdom of our law makers,
our doctors, our lawyers and theo-
logians. OF course, the man who
advances a new philosophy is ridi-
culed as a crank or a dreamer. and
later his philosophy is accepted.
Take for instance Darwin: At first
his theory of evolution was derided
but today is accepted by the schol-
ars Of the world.
When our forefathers began to
question the justice of the law Of
primogeniture the younger sons
did not favor any change. They
said such had always been the law
and were satisfied that the oldest
son should inherit all his fathers
wealth.
Many today go back to prece-
dent and oppose all innovations
that are suggested for the better
ment of the country. Our money
system, our railroad system, our
taxing system, all have the sane
ton of precedent and for that rea-
son and for no other are they sane
toned by the American people.
Precedent says these great func-
tons of government have always
been farmed out to the few and
that settles it.

WARS IN THE AIR

Unless a navy Is accompanied
by air ships it will be of little
avail in times of war.
According to the United States
Gazette, the first airship for the
British navy, which is now being
built by Vickers, Sons & Maxim,
will he the largest vessel of the
kind in existence. 1t will be over
500 feet in length and driven by
two motors of 200 horsepower
each, which will be capable of
driving the vessel at 45 miles an
hour in still air. The nominal
lifting power will be 70 tons, al
though its usual load, according to
this authority, will not exceed five
tons. 1t will be Of the rigid type,
