years"
This startling statement was made

consulting statistics compiled by the
Indiana board of health And last
year alone, tuberculosis claimed the
lives of 4,71O persons in Indiana" he
said.
In three years this terrible disease
has invaded more than 1900 homes
and claimed more than one victim in

the ravages of the disease in taking

No woman with light eyes should be

The Five Worlds Of the Bella Coots
Sun Worshipers.
There is an odd feature In the theol-

Bella Coola which inhabit British Co.
lumbia in about latitude 50. They be-
lieve that there are five worlds. one
above the other, and the middle one Is
our own world. the earth. Above It
are two heavens. and under 1t are two
underworlds. In the upper heaven Is
the supreme deity. who is woman.
and she doesn't NEEDLE much with the
affairs in the second world below her.
The zenith is the center of the lower
heaven, and here is the house Of the
gods. in which live the sun and the
rest Of the deities.
Our own earth is believed to be an
island swimming in the ocean. The
first underworld from the earth is in
habited by ghosts. who can return,
when they wish. to heaven. from which
place they may be sent down to our
earth. If then they misbehave again
they are cast into the lower of the un-
derworlds. and from this bourn no
ghostly traveller returns.
