THE END OF TUBERCULOSIS
Start In the Schools.

By GEORGE F. CANFIELD.
The school is probably the most
hopeful field forour laborS against
tuberculosis. For immediate prac-
teal results in lowering the death
rate the hospitals. dispensaries
and visiting nurses are perhaps
more important, but for the
achievement of final victory the
school offers the best opportunity.
There we q apply ourselves to
forming right habits instead Of
trying to change bad ones. There
we have the best chance to ar
rest the germ before it starts on
its deadly work. There through
the education of the children we
can most thoroughly and effec-
lively educate the whole com.
munity.

Invest at Home

DO 1T NOW
It was Bobby Burns who more than a hundred years ago, wrote:
Far off fowls ha' feathers fair"
1t is ever thus. Distance lends enchantment to the view"
things around about us seem commonplace, and we do not
always appreciate their value. The prize we would possess is
in the distance. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been
sent out of Iowa county during the last few years for invest
men. in mines and in lands, while right here, at home, there have
been wonderful opportunities for investments in farm and city
property. Farms could be purchased fifteen years ago at from
twenty-five to fifty dollars per acre. These same farms would
bring today, if placed on the market, from seventyt1ve to one
hundred dollars per acre. The advance in the price of CITY
property has not been 50 great or general as the advance in farm
property, but it has slowly and surely advanced. We have been
III the real estate business for the last fifteen years, and have the
satisfaction OF knowing that there are in Mineral Point many
persons who are now living in comfortable homes secured
Through Our Agency, and who consider themselves very fortu-
nate in the purchases which they have made.
A BRIGHT OUTLOOK @ m
A new era of business activity is dawning upon Mineral
Point; and there is every reason to believe that there will be al
gradual advance in real estate values. New Corners must have
homes, and there are very few, if any, homes to let. Hence
rents will continue to advance; and the husbandman who is
wise will procure a home as soon as possible. And there will

Daniel E. Willard, develop
ment agent, who was delegated
by Howard Elliott, president of
the Northern Pacific railway
company, to make a thorough in
vestigation of the cut-over timber
lands in Spokane, Stevens and
Pend Oreille counties, declared
at the close of a tour, covering
six weeks, that the agricultural
possibilities Of the district are al
most beyond the grasp of the i'm
agination.
II have investigated the soils,
climatic conditions and water sup
ply as well as the grains, grasses
and roots and fruit grown in the
country, extending 100 miles
north, south and east of Spo-
kane" Mr.. Willard said before
returning to St. Paul, and my
experience was a series of grow
ing surprises. had not the re-
motest idea when l came into the
country early in June, there was
one-tenth as much really desir-
able farm land as l found in
eastern Washington. In fact,
| might say was amazed to find
such rich soil areas, we'll supplied
with water and free from stones,
thousands of acres in extent.
Looking from the swiftly
moving trains the homeseeker
sees little Of the land that is ca
pable of the highest develop
ment and profitable cultivation,
but at distances ranging from
several rods to a few miles of
the main lines the farmers, or
chardists and gardeners are pro-
ducing abundant crops, for which
they find ready markets not only
in the cities and towns but also
in mining and lumber camps"
The Spokane Interstate Fair is
making all preparation for the
greatest and most comprehensive
mineral exhibit ever shown in
the Northwest. After careful
canvass of the situation among
mining men the management de-
cided that we are on the eve of
the greatest mining activity ever
known and to meet the demand
for information it is their deter
mination to call on every district
to be represented at the Spokane
Interstate Fair Oct. 28.
To meet the new condition no
expense has been spared to make
the mineral department attract
i've. New quarters, larger, bet
ter arranged and lighted, with
cement floor, are under construc-
ton. and every effort will be
made to meet requirements for
space. A district which is not
represented both as to exhibits
and as to one or more persons in
charge will not show the spirit
necessary to the fullest exploita-
ton of the resources in which a
larger number of people are now
interested than ever before.
Money for mining, develop
ment and equipment is easier to
secure than for any other pur-
pose at this time and for the es-
tablishment of plants for the
manufacture Of clay products,
etc., it should be equally easy to
interest capital.
By freight, exhibits may be
sent at expense of the Fair on all
railroads entering Spokane.

tion will hold their meeting at

Whatever the democratic con-
gressman may do on the question
of free wool, the public has been
shown that there is no star cham
ber business about their deliber-
ations. The discussion is carried
on in the open, and it is easy to
be seen that all elements con-
cerned are working for the same
result-the good of the general
public. and not of select coteries
of government-protected money
grabbers. Trust the Democracy
to care for the popular welfare.
It has no bosses. The field is
open for the expression of opin-
ion, and out Of the general mass
of thought advanced there will
crystalize the best and most help
full of legislation. This is the
very essential principle Of demo-
cratic government.
A year ago there was a strong
possibility that the insurgent
wing OF the republican party
might be made the nucleus of a
new party of the people.
Today there is no such possibil-
ity, and before it is ended the in
surgents, to get and keep any
standing at all will probably
have to crawl under the tent Of
one of the old parties and sit at
the second table awhile until they
have proved their right to full
membership.
If their argument that recipro-
city will injure the farmers Of
their districts is correct, they are
doing exactly what they re-
preached the New England sena-
tors with doing standing by
their own local industries at the
expense of the general welfare.
But this argument Is not correct,
so they stand convicted either Of

The Pend Oreille county board
of commissioners met last week
and awarded the contract for the
official county publishing to Fred
L. Wolf, publisher of the New
port Miner. They awarded a
contract to furnish two steel cells
and Jail corridor to the Champion
Iron company of Kenton, Ohio,
for $3.50. The commissioners
will meet again August 8, and on
Aug7 will begin sessions as a
board OF equalization.
Leading republicans who are
alleged politicians in the east
seem to be sadly mixed up over
the result of reciprocity. Some
say that if reciprocity is passed,
the republican party will lose
the farmer vote. But since it is
known that the measure is being
passed by democrats and not by
republicans, why should repub-
lican farmers opposed to the bill
(if there are any turn from the
republican party if the bill is
passed?
Isn't it just a trife more rea-
sonable to believe that if recipro-
city is passed by the democrats,
the farmers of the country will
hereafter support the democratic
party on that account and on ac-
count of what it is doing for the
people? Perhaps that's what
the republican congressman are
afraid of, and why they are op-
posing reciprocity.

First Big Case Arises from
Food and Drug Act.
Future Of The Patent Medicine
Business Hangs in Balance.
Govt Seeks Right to Prosecute
Men Who Label Falsely.

Washington, April 13.-Does the pure
food and drug act of 1906 prohibit
knowingly, false statements on labels
about the curative properties of medi-
cine, or does ii merely prohibit false
statements about the ingredients?
That question was argued today be-
fore the supreme court of the United
States. Solicitor General Lehman for
the government argued that the law
should be given the broader interpre-
tation, admitting that such interpre-
tation probably would break up the
patent medicine business. Mr.. Leh-
mann said that Congress recognized it
was just as important to deal with the
curative effects as with the ingredi-
ents.
James NJ Harkless, representing o.
A. Johnson. whose indictment in the
federal courts of Missouri was quash
ed on the ground that the law did not
prohibit misstatements as to the cur
ative effect of medicines, argued that
Congress could not enact law which
dealt with the curative effects of media
cines. He said there would be no stan
dard for judging curative effects.
