The Joy of Serving.

Souls grow lean if they think much
should receive from others. They are
victims of poverty no riches can
relieve or conceal They are barred
from those sanctuaries where the
heart sings the songs of peace. AS
the days loiter to their close they dis
cover life is a sleepless torture. They
refuse to learn it is not what you
have that makes for happiness but
the sacrifice made and forgotten that
brings joys which abide. Life yields
the largest dividends when you
serve as spontaneously as you breathe
and with as little aftermath of refec-
lion. When this truth illumines your
dome you will exalt daily tasks by
associating with them tropical greet
ings, assuring welcomes, honest
smiles, strengthening words, comfort
ing deeds, delicate praises and ante
norton recognitions. Then you will
walk with those who travel in lonely
paths, place lifting hand beneath
wearying burdens, give unregretted
dollars to carry sunshine into shad-
owed lives, dispense home-brewed
Inequalities and nerve the elect with
YOUR hail and Godspeed. Such SER
vice will tint the dawn when your
lovers are a legion, shed around you

NEW YORK LEADS.
Millions Doubled in
19l0.-$15,0 100000 Spent in Con-
sumption Fight.

How the money spent last year in
the anti Tuberculosis campaign prac-
tically doubled that spent in 1909 is
shown in the second annual statisti-
cal statement published recently by
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis, in its
official organ, the Journal of the Out
door Life,
The statement, which is based on
reports from all parts of the United
States. shows that in 1910, nearly
$15,000000 was spent in the fight
against tuberculosis, as opposed to
$4,000 900 spent in 1909. The largest
item of expense in 1910 was for treat
ment in sanatoria and hospitals, Sill
976,500 being expended for that pur
pose, or more than double the
amount for 1909. The anti-tubercu-
losis associations spent $760,500. and
the tuberculosis dispensaries, $3.50
900. The special municipal and state
expenditures aggregate $1,750,000.
The statement declares that the
most significant fact in the survey of
the years work is the increase in
the percentage of public money spent
While in 1909, 53.5 per cent of the to-
tai expenditures was from federal
state, municipal or county funds
62.6 per cent came from public ap-
preparations in 1910. The actual
amount from this same source in
berculosis work this past year was
$9,267 900, or more than double the
amount frmo this same source in
1909. This fact indicates, the Ma
tional Association declares, that anti
tuberculosis associations are gaining
ground, by securing increased appro-
priations from public money.
N. Y. state again leads the country
in the money spent, the total of 81
245,00 being more than double her
expenditures for tuberculosis work
in 1909 Pennsylvania is the second
state and Massachusetts third.

From figuers obtained at the office
of Hon BeeCher Putnam Of Houlton

that the losses were well scattered
over the country and that no class of
risk seems to have escaped The
heaviest loss in any state for the
month, where the individual losses
amounted to $40 600 or over was in
New York where 33 fires gave to-
tai loss of $1745.o00. Pennsylvania

DIPHTHERIA SCARE PASSES.
U. OF M. Student Stricken BY Malady
On Road To Recovery.

On Road To Recovery.
ANN ARBOR, Mich, May S.-The
threatened epidemic Of diphtheria at
the University of Michigan seems to
have passed away with but one light
case OF the disease.
Trouble started at the Sigma Chi
house when Frank Murphy was
stricken with the disease, and was
removed to University hospital. The
house was Immediately Guaranteed.
Matters began TO look suspicious
when 10 members OF the Chi Psi fra
ternity were taken Ill the following
day with sore threats. This house
was also placed under quarantine by
the city health officer, and cultures
from the threats Of the 10 were taken.
The examination developed that the
men were suffering from tonsilitis,
and the quarantine was removed.
Saturday, Capt. Hill. a member OF
the Sigma Chi fraternity, was unable
to play In the baseball game between
Michigan and o. 8. u, because or
tonsilitis, and other members or that
fraternity have been troubled with
sore throats However. DIR. Breakey.
health officer, states that there is but
one case Of diphtheria, and that he
does not expect an outbreak OF the
disease at this time. Murphy Is on
the road to recovery, and members
OF the two fraternities are renewing
preparations for house parties which
were given up when the suspected
cases developed.
