II the low death rate of 1925 a thousand a
year may be accepted as an index
The death rate from tuberculosis has
steadily been declining during the last
twenty-five years, and now is less than
Der cent of the total deaths, which Is n
lower percentage than any published by
any other country which complies its sta
tistics in an equally accurate manner
In New South Wales the notification or
cases of pulmonary and throat tuberculo-
els has been compulsory for over ten
years The walls and ceilings OF houses
in which cases occur are sprayed WITH
solution Of fornalin, and the floors are
washed with solution OF CORROSIVE Sud

The effectiveness of the educational
campaign IS shown by the fact that OPEN

When Knighthood Was in Flower y

One OF the most beautiful of Julia

production by the Columbia Players next
week, with Frances Nelson in the role Of
Mary Tudor. The play, in four acts. is by
Paul Hester, who found his inspiration
for il in Charles Majors we'll known
novel. Mss Marlowe found il one Of her
most successful offerings. II was origin
ally produced in St. Louis, but shortly
afterward was taken to the Criterion
Theater in New York, where it had an
extended run.
The scenes are laid in the early part Of
the sixteenth century, which affords op-
portunity for magnificent costuming and
beautiful stage settings. When Knight
hood Was in Flower Will be an elaborate
and pretentio offering and the Columbia
management promises to give the piece
an adequate production.

the French minister OF finance has SUBJ
mitted decree to the president for sig
nature reducing the cos OF "Caporal SUI

cents for fifty examiners In lieu OF I
franc for forty grammes as at present.
Cigarettes OF the same brand will be re-
duced to 60 cents instead Of IS cents.
This measure Is due to the fact that
the public simply boycotted ''Caporai

the French finances suffered heavily
thereby.
