Day.

April goth has been set aside this year
as Tuberculosis Day, and will be
observed 10 100000 churches ID the
country ID manner similar 10 that ofl
Tuberculosis Sunday in 1870. when
over a., GOO sermons were preached on
the prevention Of consumption. In this
first official announcement ofshe occasion
made By the National Association for the
Study and Prevention Of Tuberculosis
today, the leaders Of the movement state
that they hope to eulist all the 81, 1000.
600 church members ia The country.
In one respect Tuberculosis Day will
differ from Tuberculosis Sunday of 1910.
Instead Of requesting the churches to
give to the tuberculosis cause q special
Sunday service, the National Association
y going 10 ask this year that meetings,
ct which the subject Of tuberculosis and
its prevention can be discussed, be held
on Sunday, April goth, or on any other
day near that date, either in the week:
preceding Or the week following. what
We want, !" says Or. Livingston Fa1rand,
Executive Secretary Of the National AS.
ISOLATION for the Study and Prevention OF
tuberculosis, II report on this move
ment, s'is to have this whole subject or
tuberculosis discussed 10 all Of the 400. 900
churches Of the United States at as nearly
the same time as possible This does not
mean that a stated service must be given
over to this work, though that might be
desirable, but that any minister, or other
authority whom he may invite. can pre-
sent the problem to his congregation be-
fore OF after his regular service, or on
any day within the week preceding or
following April GOTH
The National Association is planning
to gather statistics from thousands of
ministers. showing how serious problem
tuberculosis is to every church.
These figures will show among other
things the number of deaths last year
from, tuberculosis in the church congrega-
tion. and the ways in which the pastors
are called on to minister to sufferers
from this disease. It is planned also to
issue millions Of circulars and pamphlets
on the prevention Of tuberculosis, both
from the national Office and from the
heaiqnarters Of the $50 anti.tuberculosis
associations who will cooperate in the
movement.

maid gathered together various trim

loved and brought them TO the girls

prevent the wind from overturning It
It happened that under the basket was

DAYS RECORD OF
 COUNTY COURTS

In the first division of the criminal court yesterday afternoon the proSecu- tion against Charles B. Yandel, on an indictment charging him with em- bezzlement, was dismissed by the state S attorneys, 1t having developed that there was variance between the all legations of the indictment and the evil dence The defendant was held under bond pending a reindictment at the hands of the grand jury now in ses- sion.
 The variance which was found to ex- ist, and which prevented the conviction of the defendant on that warrant, was that the warrant charged him with em- bezzling monies while the evidence introduced by the state tended to show that cheques" were embedded The defendant refused the request of the prosecution to amend the indictment, and the prosecution was dismissed be- fore the jury retired to consider their verdict
 The witnesses who have for the past two days been testfying against Yandel in the criminal court went immediately before the grand jury, but true bill had not been found when court ad- journed yesterday afternoon.
