Sub feet for the Minister.

According to reports gathered by the National Association for the Study and Prevention Of Tuberculosis, prac- tically 10 per cent. of all deaths in church congregations are caused by tuberculosis. In a study of 312, ,000 communfeants of 725 churches in which there were 1000 deaths in 1910, the death rate among these church members was found to be PA for every thousand communicants. This is higher than the rate for the regis tration area of the United States, which was 1.60 in 1910.
 While these statistics" says the national association, "are not com parable from the point of view of ac- curacy with those of the bureau of census, sufficient credence may be given to them to indicate that one of the most serious problems the or dinary church has to consider is that of the devastation of it's membership by tuberculosis. Every minister in the United States should give this sub- ject some attention during the week preceding or that following April 2S, Tuberculosis day"

There Is one material" said the wise house mother, which to the mod ern woman takes the place of the old fashioned heavy flannel for undergar- ments, and even for negligees, without having the disadvantage of bulk and a great capacity for shrinkage if 1t has to be sent to the laundry often.

LIKE STROKE OF LIGHTNING
Veteran Soldier Tells How Wound Al. fects Fighter on the Field
 of Battle.

General Miles in his book, Serving the Republic" says that, like every other soldier who has seen much ac- tive service, he is often asked how 1t feels to be wounded. He himself was wounded four times, and twice almost fatally, so he is able to speak from experience. He says: "One is often asked how it seems to be wounded in battle. The flight of bullet is quick CT than thought, and has passed through a flesh wound before one real iZes that he has been struck. l have seen bodies of men dead on the field of battle where the brain had been pierced and death had been instanta- neous. They would remain in every position of the manual of arms, with an anxious look, frown or a smile on their cold and rigid faces. My wounds received at Fair Oaks, Fred ericksburg and Petersburg were flesh wounds, and disabled me but short time. While riding down the line at Characteristic one of the enemy's bullets struck my metallic belt plate with great force. This caused slight deviation as it entered the body. The result was an instant deathly sick ening sensation; my sword dropped from my right hand, my scabbard ans belt dropped to the left; I was com, pletely paralyzed below the waist. My horse seemed to realize what had oc- cured; he stopped, turned and walk. ed slowly back-I holding to the pom mel of the saddle with my hands. We soon reached group of soldiers, who took me off and, placing me in blan. ket, carried me to the Chancellors. vile House, and pulled a dead man of 8 couch to make room for me"

Simple Explanation as to Why Sons of the Wealthy So Frequently
 Lack vigor.

The lack of physical and mental vigor sometimes noted among the sons of wealthy families is due to impoy- erished vitality on the part of the father rather than to the oppression of society's demands upon the mother.
 No man under the stern pressure of a nerve-racking load can be physically fit to become the father of family indeed the offspring is certain to show at some vital point the effect of it's progenitor's burden. The man who wins in the fierce race for wealth" does so by close concentration of his powers, even at the beginning, and by the expenditure of volumes of nerve energy. But he cannot expend 1t and keep it, too. Machinery run at high speed wears out quickly. Vital forces drawn upon for one purpose to the point of exhaustion cannot be used for

Little Mabel was always tumbling down and getting hurt, but as soon as her mother kissed the bumped fore head Mabel would believe it cured and cease crying.
