Funds to Fight Tubercuiosis.

Based on reports from all parts Of
the United States the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
Of tuberculosis has issued statement
which shows that in 1910 nearly s15,-
100000 was spent in the fight against
tuberculosis, as opposed to sS,0O0.00O
spent in 1909 The largest item OF eX-
pense in 1910 was for treatment IN
sanatoria and hospitals, S11,376. 500 be-
Ing expended for that purpose, or
more than double the amount for 1909.
The anti-tuberculosis associations
spent $760.500. and the tuberculosis
dispensaries $685. 900 The special mu-
nicipal and stste expenditures aggre-
gate $1,750000.
The statement declares that the
most significant fact IN the survey OF
the years work IL the increase in the
percentage of public money spent
While in 1909 535 per cent. of the
total expenditure was from federal.
state, municipal or county funds, 62.6
per cent. came from public appropria-
tions In 1910. The actual amount OF
public money spent in tuberculosis
work this past year was $9,267, 900. or
more than double the amount from
this same source in 1909. This fact
indicates, the national association de-
clares. that anti-tuberculosis associa-
tions are gaining ground, by securing
increased Appropriations from public
money.

FLAX IS PROFITABLE
Wonderful Paying Proposition In
Western Canadian Prairies.

So much is heard OF the wheat, oats
and barley grown in the prairie lands
of western Canada, and so much has
been told OF the wealth to be made
out of the raising OF cattle On
the succulent and rich grasses
OF these fertile plains, that a
most important product has been al
most lost sight OF. Flax. Recent press
reports advise Us that On one OF the
last boats 10 clear from Fort William
(ac the head Of Lake Superior) for
Buffalo. there were 24l.o00 bushels Of
fax valued at s5s3, ,22o. ani on another
boat leaving the same day there were
There has been big demand for Ca
madam FAX this season, and the lake
movement has been very heavy. Flax
Is always sure crop. and gives TO
the farmer who is anxious for quick
return after getting on his land. the
chance he is locking for There is
opportunity for thousands yet, on the
free houlesteads of 100 acres, and
many of these are available within
short distance of the lines OF railway
that are already built or under con-
struction, either on the main line or
branches. Besides these free grant
lands there is an opportunity to pur-
chase from railway and land COM
panies at reasonable prices.
The display Of western Canada's
grains IN the straw as well as
threshed grains and grasses recently
made at St. Louis was an excellent
demonstration Of what the country can
do. It proved splendid as an illustration
of the resources OF that vast prairie
country, which during the past year
has again proven its ability to pro-
duce excellent yields Of wheat. oats
and barley-and fax. Not only this,
but the splendid herds OF cattle are
source of large revenue. There Is
q fund Of information to be had by
reading the Canadian government lit
erature. copies of which may be had
free by applying to your nearest Ca
madam government agent.
