West No Place for consumptives.

west NO race TOT G0uSUEUPttvSSs
Physicians in all of the eastern
states will be asked by the National
Association for the Study and Pre-
vention of tuberculosis to stop xend-
Ing consumptives in the last stages of
tuberculosis and without sufficient
funds to the southwestern part of the
United States in search of health.
While it is impossible to tell accu-
rately how many consumptiVes there
are at present living in the states of
Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, south
ern California, and western Texas, 1t
is probable that no less than ten per
cent of the 100000 people in this
territory have tuberculosis themselves,
or have come to the west because
some members of their family have
had 1t. Every year, the health authori-
ties estimate, not less than 10000
consumptives, hopelessly diseased,
come west to die. For these cases,
the climate of this section of the coun-
try can do nothing, and they are COM
PEELED to die in strange surroundings
and thousands of miles from home
and friends. The National Associa-
ton points out further that from so
to so per cent. of these advanced
cases are too poor to provide the
proper necessaries of life, and they
are either starved to death, or COM
PEELED to accept the meager charity
which this part Of the country af-
fords.

sole possession. Her relatives have
hitherto done nothing for the child,

What A Home Gamer Did.
C. II. Rust, In Farm aud Ranch.

C.H. Rust. in Farm aud Ranch.
Three years ago. young man,
handicapped with Il crippled leg.
bought farm of Is acres, paying
$500 for it. Last year he sold
$1,000 worth of produce from his
farm, and be said, ut 10 largely
due to my canner that has helped
me to turn the scale against fail
ure."
He bought q medium sized eau.
ner at . cost of about SIS. The
fret year, ouly 1000 cans were
packed, mostly of tomatoes and
green beans. These found ready
sale and the next year he doubled
tho output, canning and selling
5000 cans. Hs put up bis own
surplus fruits and vegetables and
took in considerable custom work
from bis neighbors. BY tho aid
OF bis Gamer, he controls the To-
cal tomato market, as the grocers
look to him for their steady sup
ply. The canned tomatoes found
a ready sale at 50 case, and the
demsnd far exceeded tho supply.
This mans specially is tomatoes.
but be cans . great many beans.
and sells them at $1.20 per dozen,
3.pound cans. The cans and Ia
bells cost . little moro than 80 OTIS
a dozen, whom bought by the
thousand.
This man says his Gamer has
enabled him to pay for bis farm
and given him work that he could
do in spite OF bis physical misfor-
tune; has also helped to keep up
tn, price on fresh produce and
given him a way of disposing Of
his surplus fruits and vegetables.
Yes, a Gamer pays even fol
home use alone, as it is far more
convenient than the old way Of
putting up fruit, and . safer way
since the instructions are 20 sim.
pie that Q child can operate ONT
and never lose either fruit or veg
stables.
