PREVENTION OF CONSUMPTION.
Prevention Easy ii Each Individual
Does His Part.

Consumption is preventable dis
ease. Then why not prevent it? Ev.
cry case is contracted by means CT
germs from some other consumptive,
If you get consumption, you may
consider it a monument to some
other consumptive's ignorance, care
lessness, CIR negligence. Ifyou give,
or make others liable to consump-
ton, you are guilty Of criminal neg
ligence and deserve to be punished.
Consumption would be extinct in
less than five years if all consump-
tives would exercise the proper pre-
caution. This may mean you.
Thousands of people IN our State
have consumption and do not know
it. Many of them go about splitting,
coughing, and sneezing in a careless
manner, making their friends and
associates most liable to the disease.
Many others who may not have the
disease are equally guilty of such
filthy habits. Does this mean you?
Don't spit! Oh, you say, that is
an old saw. So it is, but it is the
ounce Of prevention which any one
can easily supply. Ninety-five per
cent Of the splitting is unnecessary.
This is an in sanitary practice con-
fined largely to the men. To be
sure it is filthy and dangerous to
swallow mucus and pillegm coughcd
up. 1t is far better to rid the sys
TEN of this secretion than to allow
any part of it to enter the stomach.
But, if spit you must, even this can
be done in such manner as to re-
duce he danger to minimum. At
home, spit only in the fire or in a
spittoon. Keep water in the spit
toon. Empty it daily and scald it
out with boiling water. An excel
lent precaution is to add half tab
let Of mercuric bici1loride to the
water in the spittoon when it is re-
turned for use. Carhoiic acid or
calcium hypochlorite are also good,
but they emit slight odors. Disin-
fectants injure brass spittoons.
In public. never spit on the side
walk or where it may come in con-
tact with the skirts or clothes Of
others. or become dried and stirred
up as dust. Spit in the water in the
cutters or in sewer inlets. Spit in
the sunlight, as bright sunlight will
!. kill the germs of consumption be-
fore they can become dry and float
off as dust. Sneeze, cough, or spit
ir a handkerchief, or, better still,
use paper napkin and burn after
using. Consumptives should use
spit-cups.
Whenever you see careless spit
ter, consider him as g. man danger
Gus to society and an enemy to man.
kind. Avoid him, and beware that
others cannot so regard you.

HIS GREAT IDEA.
The Tin Plated Tomato and the Mora!
That Goes With It.

The Tin Plated Tomato and the Mora!
That Goes With 1t.
A good theory that won't work isn't
half as good as a poor one that will.
Twenty years ago young man just
out OF college had a great idea. He
was going to tin plate tomatoes. There
vas 10 be no more troublesome pairing
and cooking and canning to preserve
tomatoes throughout winters. 1t would
he necessary only to drop a nice ripe
tomato into his timing solution and it
would come out coated with tin and
would keep for twenty years. In fact,
there wasn't any reason why it should
not keep forever. The young inventor
figured it would cost him 80 cents a
gallon to make this timing solution.
1t surely would sell for 50 a gallon.
Every one eats tOmatOeS-that is, near
" every one Everybody would eat
them if they could always have n nice
tin plated tomato lying around. He
ougnt 10 sell Il InliliOn gaiions year.
That would be profit of a million and
half dol Well, no tin plated toma-
toes are on the market yet, and the
man who invented them is still making
only SO a week.
The moral of this is that whenever
YOU hear of great idea that is going
to reform or uplift the world make
sure that it is not of the tin plated
tomato brand.-Chicago Tribune.

BOILING GEYSERS.
What Causes ths Spouting of These

What Causes tNs spouting of These
Natural Steam Engines.
Geysers are found In only three
faces in the world, according to pub
tcatlon entitled "Geysers" issued by
The department of the interior. These
three regions are Iceland, where gey-
,ers were first discovered; New Zea-
and and the Yellowstone National
park, in which these natural steam en-
gines are more numerous and of great
er beauty than In the two other areas
mentioned. In the Yellowstone the
geysers are found In detached geyser
basins, or fire holes, as they were
called by the first explorers, and the
groups possess individual peculiarities
which give character end interest to
each locality. The most noted of these
basins Is, however, that known as the
Upper Geyser basin of the Firehole

boiling water, whose exquisite beauty
Is indescribable. Light clouds OF

Of the purest azure or the clearest en-
erald and encircling rims of white

The intermittent spouting of geysers
was long riddle to scientific men.
The theory, which bears the name Of
the illustrlous chemist Bunsen, Is now
generally accepted. This theory Is
based on the well known fact that the
boiling point of water rises with the

Just Try Ely's Cream Balm,
A Cleansing, Healing
AntiseptiC Cream

Are you half sick for two or three
months every summer with Hay Fever
violent sneezing spells, running at the
nose, intense itching in the corners OF
the eyes, pain and soreness in the back

feeling in the head and an asthmatlc
wheeling in the throat and chest? II
so, you can get almost instant relief by
simply using a cleansing, healing anti
septic Cream called Ely's Cream Balm.
Hay Fever is due to an extremely
sensitive condition of the membrane
lining the nose and throat. Dust
smoke and certain odors irritate this
delicate inside skin, it becomes iniamed,
causing watery discharge from the
nose and violent spasms of sneezing.
Ely's Cream Balm will relieve all
these distressing symptoms in hye
minutes time. 1t opens up the air
passages, soothes, heals and strengthens
the weakened, infiamed membranes
restores them to healthy, normal eondl-

local banks are material aids to the
financial prosperity of the city.
Fraternal, educational, social and
charitable organizations have grown up
in the Clark thread works community,
fostered by the company's policy, and
building and loan association has con
served savings to buy homesteads. Out
of the ranks Of the workers have
stepped many men to enter the profes-
slons or take public Office, and not a
few men of solid wealth owe their
start in life to their work in the Clarks
thread mills.

ply as an example. 1t is a specimen

prosperous Industrial concerns in New
ark and thousands in the state. 1t Is
concrete Illustration Of the workings
Of tariff protection.
First. - The Clark thread industry
was brought from Paisley, Scotland, to
Newark by tariff protection.
Second.-The industry took root In
American soil and throve under con-
tinued tariff protection.
Third.-It taught American labor a
new employment and finally gave
work and wages to thousands.
Fourth.--It aided other industries
and promoted their labor interests,
such as machinery making, and this
stimulated American inventors Much
of the vast network of the machinery
In the mills was of American inven-
ton.
Fifth.--It built up large section of
Newark, once barren, so that 1t now
contains about $4,000 population, Is
solidly built and full of prosperity.
Slxth.-It created trade and business
for hundreds of storekeepers, doctors,
dentists and others and put an Inn
mense amount OF money weekly into
the retail trade IN Newark.
Seyenth.-It has, directly and indi-
rectly, added Mt least $50,000,000 to the
assessed valuation Of Newark
Eighth.It cheapened cotton thread
by more than One-half.,
Ninth-It has been morally and in
tellectunlly and economically uplifting.
