London.-The question Of how to
diminish England's rapidly increasing

here and hardly a week passes with
out a lecture on the subject.
Miss Josephine Knowles, E~ngland's

held a lecture in which she severely
criticized English parents. whom she
accused of injuring their daughters
prospects by caging them up at home,
simply catering for them in the way
of food. clothes and necessarles, but
without allowing them as much as six
pence weekly for pin money, and CIV
ing them no training or education that
would make them fit either to marry
or to make their own living.

based on sound common sense as long
as there was a large superfiuity Of
women in England while men in the
colonies were clamoring for wives. At
the end her argument conquered and
a society is soon to be formed to ar
range marriages between suitable
parties in England and her dominions.

CONSTANT DRAIN ON NATION
Cost Of tuberculosis and other Pre-
Ventable Diseases Has Been
Put Into Figures.

While state commissions and other
bodies are trying to find a method for
reducing the cost of life insurance.
Prof. James w. Glover of the Uni
versity Of Michigan demonstrates that
every policy-holder Of a $4,000 or
binary whole life policy could save
about $40 a year on his premiums If
tuberculosis and typhoid fever were
eliminated. tuberculosis alone causes
a loss to such a policy holder of from
s16.70 at twenty to $3.50 at the age
Of sixty. At age Of twenty, with the
present high death rate from tubercu.
losis, this one disease alone shortens
the complete expectation Of life by
two years and 1853 days. While the
death rate from tuberculosis seems to
be declining. the National Association
for the Study and Prevention Of Tuber
culosis says that the combined effort
of every man, woman and child is nee.
essary to bring about a radical reduc-
ton in life insurance rates such as
Professor Glover has indicated.

long ago the Mediator demonstrated
his reputed supernatural or unusual
powers by locating a gold mine in
California, getting his information, he
said, from the spirits Of intimate
friends long dead.
For many years Brown has occu-

should catch no bear in his traps for
500 years. Bodhsh went on setting his
traps, but caught nothing. Then he
went to the Mediator to try to in
duce him to life the curse. The Medi-
ator at last relented to the extent Of
taking off 200 Of the 500 years. Bod
fish went home and thought it over.
Even 300 years seemed too long a
time to wait, and again he called on
tha Mediator, who consented that the
200 years rebate should run forward
from the beginning instead of back
from the end of the original 500. At
the end of the season the customary
array of bear pelts was hanging on
Bodfish's fence to dry.
Brown says the spirits told him of
the existence of a very rich mine in
California. They described is so
carefully that the Mediator felt sure
he would be able to find it, and he
notified some of his earthly friends on
the coast. The Californians told him
to come on and locate the mine, and
he did so, returning with the news
that he had pointed out the location
of a gold deposit that would make
them m%illionaires. For himself he
had no interest in wealth.
