Millions for Anti-T tuberculosis Work.
Money to the amount of over S14,-
100000 was spent in anti-tuberculosis
work during the year 1911, according
to the third annual statement of eX-
penditures in the war against con-
sumption issued by the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis. The statement is
based largely on reports received from
anti-tuberculosis agencies In all parts
of the United States.
By far the largest item of expense
was that for treatment in sanatoria
and hospitals, and for the erection of
institutions of this kind, over $780,
900 being spent for this purpose alone.
Dispensaries for the examination and
treatment of tuberculosis spent $780,
900, and associations and committees
in their educational campaign against
tuberculosis spent 100000. The re-
naming S1,300,000 was spent for
treatment in open-air schools, prisons
and hospitals for the insane, and also
for the work of\state and local boards
of health against tuberculosis.

A LEAKAGE THAT CAN BE EASILY
STOPPED

How many people who read this article,
realize the weighty influence of one little
necessity of life-baking powder-on the
cost of living.
Yet it is a leakage that can easily be
stopped if the housewife will only pay a
little more attention to the choice of her
baking powder Some think there is
economy in buying the cheap big Can"
Baking Powders. These Baking Powders
are not always uniform, and sometimes
produce failures in the baking, and the
result is that more is lost in one or two
spoiled bakings than you spend on bak-
ing powder in the whole year. The cheap
big. Can" Baking Powders should be
avoided.
On the other hand many housewives
feel that baking powder is of no value
unless they pay 50 cents a pound for it
the price charged for the high priced
Trust brands. This is mistake, as
the best baking powder that can be made
can be sold for 25c. per pound if the man
ufacturer is satisfied with a reasonable
profit. There is one brand on the market
that meets these requirements. 1t is
CALUMET BAKING POWDER. recon-
mended by leading physicians and chem
lists; used in millions OF homes and
given the Highest Award at the Worlds
Pure Food Exposition.

Uncle Sans Representative.

Senator John Sharp Williams tells
of negro lad in a southern town who
was not the least jealous of Uncle
Sans servants. One day when the
mail bag for that town was thrown
from the train the pouch was caught
up by this diminutive courier who
started off, as was his wont, on brisk
trot to the postofice.
AS he was rounding a corner of the
station he encountered a larger boy,
with the result that the little courier
was upset. When the latter got up
and readjusted himself he turned upon
the other exclaiming:
Look heah! Yo' wants to be keer-
full bout dis chile! When yo' jars me
yo' jars de gov'ment of de United
States. l carries de MALL"

In the pursuit and capture of the
schooner Wilder, a Confederate block
ade runner, at Mobile, Ala, crews OF
the blockading squadron came into
sharp contact with a band of Confed~
crate scouts ashore. The schooner
was sent aground by her captain,
Ward, three miles below Fort Morgan,
in an effort to escape the Union gun
boats, which were chasing her. Crews
from the gunboats went aboard the
schooner in launches and began TAX
ing off her contraband cargo. When
they were so engaged Captain Cottrill
appeared with his company of scouts
and opened fire. The sailors were
driven into their launches and back
upon the gunboats, which shelled the
shore. Captain Cottrill stood his
ground until night, however, when
darkness permitted the Federal yes
sells to drag off the stranded schooner.
The secretary of war of the United
States ordered the appointment of two
