Philosophy from the Kingman Jour
nal: A wise man will listen to a fools
advice and weigh it, but a fool will
listen to no one. That's one of the
things that keeps him being a fool.
Whenever a political speaker wand
ers away from his facts his hearers
know it, says the Marquette Tribune.
People read these days and he is a
wise orator who does not injure his
cause by his speech.
Trouble seems to be brewing in one
Pratt family. The Pratt Union re-
ports that one lady there says it is
not fair for her to stay at home and
can fruit while the hired girl takes
her place in the auto.

city, which has long been credited with

NJ. Besmardeau IS still alive. and there
are many Of his old customers in
France who have the cards he posted

for the Nuremberg exposition in 1882
At the same time there is nothing In
this counterclaim to prevent the peo-
pie of Nuremberg from going ahead
with their plans of holding picture
post card congress and exposition, and
considerable interest will doubtless at

WINNING CONSUMPTION BATTLE.
German statisticans say that the
consumption death rate in that coun-
try has decreased nearly fifty per cent
in the past thirty years. and there are
physicians who declare that before the
expiration of another thirty years it
should become as extinct as the black
death. In 1880 Germany's annual death
rate from the white scourge was 30.S
per 10000 of the population. The figures
for 1910 have just been published: and
the rate given is 1929. This is still
slightly higher than in England, but
it is the lowest on the continent. and
less than half that of some other highly
civilized European states which have
not adopted Germany's method 81

the sickness insurance funds are parti-
