CLUB NOTES.

Dear Doctor:
Will you please tell me what tu-
berculosis of the blood is, what are
the symptoms, and what can be done
for it, and is it durable?
l.. C. w.
There is no such condition as spe-
cific tuberculosis of the blood known
to medical science. There may be
germs of tuberculosis in the blood
but they come from some specific por-
ton Of the body. The recognized
places in which tuberculosis is found
are as follows: 1, Lungs Gin the adult;
2, Emphatic glands, bones and joints
lin children), 8, intestires, portion
cum; 5, kidneys; 6, brains; z, spleen;
8; liver; 9, generative organs; 10. peri
cordium; IL heart. If treatment of
the proper kind is applied promptly
most cases are durable. In my Home
Health Club book, Vol. 2, / have de-
voted several chapters to the subject
and described the best and most prac-
tical methods of home treatment and
means of precaution. All of the pa
ges of an entire issue of this paper
would be required in which to give a
comprehensive answer to all your
brief but pertinent questions. Would
suggest that you send for the book
and study the subject direct.

SUGAR:-Dr II. w. Wiley, the gov
eminent food champion and expert, in
the course Of an examination before
q congressional committee, lately adj
vised that people should eat more
common yellow sugar and spoke in
high terms of beet sugar as pure and
wholesome.
sons who are possessed OF the idea
that sugar is unwholesome and that
it il dreadfully expensive, when the
reverse is the truth in both cases. SUI
gar Is perhaps the most fattening OF
all foods. and when judiciously used,
quite healthful. and by sugar all pure
sweets are meant Moreover, sugar is
the least expensive, in proposition to
nutritive strength, of all manner OF
food. The prejudice against it, in
both the matters of expense and
wholesomeness, is Of puritanical orig
in; that kind of bigotry that would
chide a child for dancing around and
giving any evidence of happiness. The
puritanical idea of original sin is that
whatever q child cries for must be
bad for It to have. Even yet, there
are rural districts where the head of
the family groans every time a. pound
OF sugar IL purchased for the house
and whines over the transaction as
the fostering Of an UNIV holesome lux
ury. However, it is said that there
are places in obscure regions of the
country where many insist on voting
for General Jackson for President, ev-
cry time they go to the polls.
however, is increasing all the time
and before it every vestige of big
otry, superstition and commonf .tey-
norance, will eventually be swept
away.
AS to sugar, the government of the
Uoited States buys pure candy by the
ton, for the use Of the army, alone.

etc. This is sold at cost to- the SOL
diers In the "canteens''-stores at the
army posts equivalent, and more, to
what was known before, in the army,
as the suffers store. The sutler,
however, sold his goods to the soldiers
at outrageous profits, while in the
canteen Uncle Sam is the sutler who
purchases in vast quantities, at great
ly reduced rates, and gives the SOL
diers the benefit of this. charging
them nothing beyond cost, for any
thing that is needful to them.
There Is more of a craving, In the
tropics, for sweets, and in this, Ma
ture again shows her providence, for
in those regions sweets are produced
more abundantly.
In one of these lectures, published
some years ago, DR.. Reeder, head of
the Home Health Club, said:
I'm short, sugar is, after meat, and
bread and butter, easily our neNn
most important and necessary food.
You can put the matter to a test very
easily. Just leave off the pie, pud-
ding, or other desserts at your lunch
or midday meal. You will be as
to1ished to find how quickly you will
feel empty again, and how "unfin-
ished' the meal will seem. You can't
get any workingman to accept a pail
without pie in it, And he is abso-
lutely right. The only thing that
can take the place of sugar here Is
beer or wine. 1t is a significant fact

THE CARE. OF FURS

AS fur is such an expensive arti-
Gle it should be carefully preserved
Early in spring / begin to look for
moth eggs. A solution of acetate
of potash and spirits of rosemary,
fifteen grains to one pint, destroys
any eggs found. I always put my
furs away perfectly clean, and have
found the recipe of Russian friend
good one for fur cleaning. Put
some rye flour into a saucepan and
heat as long as the hand can bear
it. stirring constantly. Then spread
the flour over the fur and rub we'll
into it. Brush thoroughly with a
clean brush, or beat gently until the
flour is removed. White furs, such
as white fox or ermine, can be eff
fectually cleaned by dipping per
fectly clean whisk broom in alcohol
and hopping the fur well with it, re-
wetting often, until the fur is thor
oughly soaked. Have ready an
abundance of powdered starch, and
with a flour dredger fill the wet
hairs full of starch, working it down
to the skin with the fingers. Then
dry, powder again thickly, and shut
up in box for two days. Beat out
the powder in the open air with a
whisk, and shake and toss until clear
of starch.-Ladies' World.

that the free lunch counters run in
connection with bars furnish every
imaginable thing except sweets. Even
the restaurants and lunch grills at
tached to saloons Or bars often re-
fuse to serve desserts of any sort.
They know their business. The more
sugar and sweets a man takes at a
meal, the less alcohol he wants. Con-
versely, nearly every drinking man
will tell you that he has lost his
taste for sweets. The more candy a
nation consumes, the less alcohol
The only trouble as to candy, and
other sweets. for children Or grown
folks, as to that, is that the sweets
are often eaten in too large quanti-
ties and at the wrong time. If taken
after meals it is good and wholesome,
but the same quantity and quality
taken an hour before a meal may
cause serious disorders in the stom-
ach, and it will certainly affect, dele
teriously, the appetite for other foods.
A good authority has said: GIVE
children plenty of pure candy, taffy
and butterscotch, and they will have
little need of cod-liver oil.''

Basket Ball Game is

NEW YORK, April 20.-In declining TO !

college baslSs, ball rules committee have
placed tho burden Of responsibility for
the abuses that married the game during
the last season upon the shoulders Of

instances II belongs. But there is some
thing more the matter with basket bail
than the officials, The game has stead

versiiles except Columbia, and there
must be reason. Perhaps II lies in the
rules themselves; perhaps, as the COM
mittse says. the fault is partly with the "
players. who lay more stress upon guard
ing their opponents than upon following 2
and passing the ball. Whatever may be
the secret, IL IL a fact that basket ball
has suffered because OF the tremendous
number OF fouls called throughout the
season. and the great amount OF scoring

College Pitchers
Keep Scores Low
in Most Contests

NEW YORK, April e1.-ln these days
Of good pitching high scores In college
base ball games have decreased in al
most IN the same proportion as they have
In professional contests. and indeed In
the games between the larger college
mines lately there have been few high
score contests In the '7os, and even As
late as 1896 high score games were not
nearly as uncommon as they are now.
II the records are correct Lafayette has
scored more runs in one base bail game
than any other college nine. In 1872 La.
fayette won the first game of the series
with Lehigh by score Of "a to IS. and in
! the second contest established the ex-

game Is almost Ike the total score in
some Carlisle Indians foot ball game
| The next highest score made by col
/ lege team seems to have been In the
Ninnesota-Michigan game In 1895 which
the Wolverines won by score Of q to l.
Yale has several high scores to ito
credit and it's record Is topped by the
defeat by the University Of Chicago In
1886 by score OF 81 to 8. Against
Princeton Yale scored thirty runs in 1865
In the first game played between the two.
In the second game in the dual series,
played two years later Princeton wou by
a score Of D 70 l5, one Of the two highest
Princeton scores on record. against sup
possibly equally strong team. Cornell
was beaten by Princeton b. a score Of
2s to In ,ss5 In 1894 against Harvard
Pennsylvania scored twenty-six runs to
the Crimson's seven. Chicago has one

One Of the closest high score games was
the Illinois-Chicago contest In 1894, which
Chicago won by a score Of IS to Il.
In recent years there have been Few
games in which the winning team has
made as many as twenty runs. Williams
