MORE HOSPITALS ARE NEEDED
Situation Improved, but Further Work
10 Needed to Stamp Out
Tuberculosis.

Only four states. Mississippi, Ne
vada, Utah and Wyoming, have no
beds whatever in special hospitals or
wards for consumptives. Eight years
ago when the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
losis was organized there were 26
states in which no hospital or sanito-
rum provision for consumptives ex
listed, and the entire number of beds
in the United States was only 10000.
While these figures would indicate
a remarkable growth in anti-tubercu-
losis activity" says DR.. Livingston
Farrand. executive secretary of the
National association, in commenting
on the subject, there are still prac-
tically ten INDECENT consumptives for
every one of the 10000 beds. including
those for pay patients, In other words,
we have from 250000 to 1000 con-
sumptives in this country too poor to
provide hospital care for themselves
If tuberculosis is ever going to be
stamped out in the United States.
more hospital provision for these foci
of infection must be provided"

Her Unfortunate Error.

A literary lady at society dinner
was given q seat next to noted
scientist whose views were very ma
terialistic, and at some remark he
made on the origin of mankind, the
lady found her temper tried beyond
all bearing, 30 that she retorted: Il
really don't care what you say. l be-
lieve in the Bible. and there We are
told that Adam was the father of all
living"
Il really think you are mistaken
he said with smile, and so the sub.
ject dropped.
A few days later the lady, writing
to 4 bosom friend, told her of the oc-
currence and added: II am too morti,
fed. for l have looked the matter up
and 1t only says that Eve was the
mother of all living. and so l don't
know whether to write to the profes-
sor or not"

GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP
No Medicine SO Beneficial to Brain
and Nerves.

Lying awake nights makes it hard
to keep awake and do things in day
time. To take "tonics and stimulants'
under such circumstances is like set
ting the house on fire to see If you
can put 1t out.
The right kind of food promotes re-
freshing sleep at night and a wide
awake individual during the day.
A lady changed from her old way OF
eating Grape-Nuts, and says:
For about three years had been
great sufferer from Indigestion.
After trying several kinds of medicine
the doctor would ask me to drop of
potatoes, then meat, and so on, but In
a few days that craving. gnawing feel
ing would start up. and would vomit
everything ate and drank.
When l started on Grape-Nuts, vom-
iting stopped. and the bloated feeling
which was 80 distressing disappeared
entirely.
MY mother was very much bothered
with diarrhoea before commencing the
Grape-Nuts. because her stomach was
so weak she could not digest her food
Since using Grape-Nuts food she is
we'll, and says she don't think she
could do without 1t.
1T is great brain restorer and
nerve builder. for I can sleep as sound
and undisturbed after a supper OF
Grape-Nuts as in the old days when ]

cine SO beneficial to nerves and brain
as good nights sleep. such as you
can enjoy after eating Grape-Nuts. .

Will Submit 80 Measures.

Thirty-two subjects have
been filed in the office of the secre.
tary of state for submission to the peo.
pie at the next general election un.
der the initiative and referendum. The
Direct Legislation League, which has
several petitions, the state highway
commission and others are to be heard
from.
Five constitutional amendments and
laws were referred to the people by
the Legislature, seven bills passed by
the last Legislature have been referred
to the people by petition, and eighteen
proposed laws and constitutional
amendments have been initiated.
Secretary of State Pearce declares
he will economize in having the meas.
ures printed in the newspapers of the
state. There is question whether pub
lication is required in four or five is
sues, the constitution reading that
bills submitted to the people must be
printed for four successive weeks.
Most editors contend that it is i'm
possible to publish for four successive
weeks without having the advertise
ment appear in five issues of weekly
newspaper
if it is held that five publications
are necessary the state must pay 4S
cents an inch additional to every
newspaper used.
Secretary Pearce says he will not
advertise in daily newspapers every
tiay for four weeks, but will select one
day of the week and make the publica-
ticn four times.
