Due Precautions.

In town in Georgia there was an
old preacher whose knowledge of the
world was not wide nor deep, but who
conceived 1t to be place where, II
one should trust his fellow men, he
should at the same time keep an eye
on his own interests.
One hot day he pulled off his coat
and preached vigorous sermon, I'M
der the pines, in his shirt sleeves. At
the close of the open-air service one
of his, admirers approached him and
said, regretfully:
II don't suppose that you knew that
the editor of one of the big New York
Sunday papers was here when you
pulled off your coat"
81 reckon knew it well, for I'd
been told of It," said the preacher.
calmly. 81 don't believe he's as bad
as he might be, and anyway, put my
coat on the chair close by and had it
right under my eye all the time."-

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 ethose fertile plains, that
most important product has been al
most lost sight of, Flax. Recent press
reports advise us that on one OF the
last boats to clear from Fort William
Cat the head Of Lake Superior) for
Buffalo, there were 241 900 bushels OF
fax valued at $685. and on another
boat leaving the same day there were
28S,000 bushels valued at 100000.
There has been big demand for. Ca
madam flax this season, and the lake
movement has been very heavy. Flax
is always a sure crop, and gives to

short distance Of the lines of railway
that are already built or under con-
struction, either on the main line or

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. 1t 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
a source of large revenue. There is
a 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

When Youthful Airman Lands He

Charleston, S. C.-Jimmy Ward, the
18-year-old aviator, in Curtiss "a
horsepower aeroplane, today made a
daring flight across two rivers, the har-
Dor and out over the Atlantic ocean,
breaking the worlds record for low
power machines, and won $4,000 by

Landing gracefully on the beach in
front of Fort Moultrie, on Sullivan's
Island, he handed note to Colonel
Marsh, which the latter signed. Ward
then re-entered his machine, rose from
the beach and flew back across the
harbor in direct line to the aviation
field north of the city. He covered a
distance of about 20 miles in "a min
utes.
Leaving the aviation grounds, Ward
flew first to the navy yard on Cooper
river, then down the river about five
miles to the city. Turning eastward,
he crossed the Cooper and Wanda
rivers. and the harbor at a height OF
about 900 feet. Reaching Sullivan's
Island at the northern entrance of the
harbor, where Fort Moultrie is stu-
ated, he circled back at a height Of
about 1000 feet, passing close to Cas-
tie Pinckney.
Heading Seaward again, he passed
directly over Fort Sumpter and swept
for a distance of about mile and a
hal foyer the waters of the open Allan
tic. Turning, he flew above the Isle
of Palms and Sullivans Island, and
landed on the beach in front of Fort
Moultrie.
1t was on his return trip that he
broke the worlds altitude record for
small machines. At a point directly
above Mount Pleasant, on the edge of
the harbor and opposite the city, he
attained a height of $500 feet, as
shown by his Paragraph. As the avia-
ton field came into view, Ward, at
that time over Cooper river, shut off
his power and glided for mile and a
half, landing safely. He was shaking
as though palsied as he posed for his
picture, so terrible had been the strain.

Funds to Fight tuberculosis.

= unuS 10 TIyHt IupCiSd'OSio'
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 $751;
100000 was spent in the fight against
tuberculosis, as opposed to $S,OOO,OOO
spent in 1909. The largest item OF eX-
pense in 1910 was for treatment In
sanatoria and hospitals, $11,376, 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 $8S9000. The special mu-
nicipal and state expenditures aggre-
gated$1, 100000.
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
total expenditure was from federal,
state. municipal or county funds, 62.6
per cent. came from public appropria-
lions 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-
tons are gaining ground, by securing
increased appropriations from public
money
