TUBERCULOSIS TO DISAPPEAR.

tuberculosis is diminishing In

dicted that in 25 or 80 ye ars 1t will
have quite disappeared. The decrease
or diminution is different In different
countries, plainly indicating that the
decrease Is one of habit and life. The
reduction of the malady is one of the
strongest supports of the sentiment Of
optimism. for It indicates the increase
of cleaner and nobler living. The per.
sonal habit in respect to sobriety, pur-
ity. courage. integrity. unselfishness
Is hurting tuberculosis and all other
maladies everywhere. AS the world
advances in virtue and honor, It's dis
tempers begin to grow less. This doc
trine was announced by John Burns,
the labor leader in parliament. and II
his philosophy and fact agree, we
all have reason to rejoice. There Is
to be another consideration added to
this. which is. that the same improve
ed living that reduces tuberculo-

maladies as we'll II bad habits make

We are SO accustomed in all these
