Help Fight tuberculosis.

People used to think tuberculosis
was inherited. If your parents had
it. you were sure to have it was the
idea. When it was studied more
this was proved false, and it was
also found that tuberculosis killed
more people than any other disease
and that it can be prevented. There
is no need of getting tuberculosis.
Cleanliness, light and air in the
house do much to prevent develop
ment of germs which :>uN lodge
there from those who already have
the disease.
There were 1855 people killed on
the Titanic, and yet in Minnesota
each year over 1000 people die of
tuberculosis. Most of these lives can
be saved. Isn't it worth fighting for ?
tuberculosis very often takes the
man Of the house when he is in his
prime and children are dependent
on him. And yet tuberculosis is
easily controlled.
The state spends cents per capita
to keep the public healthy and $3.50
per capita to educate the children.
1t spends more to protect and de-
Velop the game and fish of the state
than it does to guard public health.

BIG BENEFITS PAID
TO FEDERAL UNIONS
American Federation Of Labor
Give Strike Support To
Many Deserving Unions.

WASHINGTON, June 1S.-The fed
erai labor and trade unions attached
directly, to the American Federation
of Labor, there being no internation
al organization holding jurisdiction
over the class of work performed by
the membership of these unions, have
been recipients Of large strike bene
fits during the last seven months.
The constitution of the American
Federation of Labor provides that
where organizations have been in con-
tinuous good standing for one year
and their members in good standing
for one year also they are entitled to
a strike benefit of 81 per week.
The first seven months of the fiscal
year. according to a report rendered
by Secretary Morrison to the execu-
tive council, shows that $50,O59 have
been paid out as strike benefits to
members of the organizations referred
to-.
This is the largest amount OF strike
benefits ever paid out by the Fedora
ton in any one like period. Benefits
are still being drawn by a large num-
Der Of strikers.

its general form it bore considerable
resemblance to guinea pig. But a
guinea pig, or a rat, nine feet long
would cause some scurrying in a

In the sea, on the other hand, the
case is different. 1t would appear
that the ocean has never been inhab-

whale, for instance, which Huxley
called the 'hugest of beasts that live

length of ninety feet, and disports it's

waves in which the stoutest ship
that ever left dock would founder
helplessly,"
Still it has been found that some
of the ancient inhabitants of the sea,
if they were not larger than the lar
gest of today, were far more wonder
full in some respects, a monster with
shark-like appetite, which was fur
nished with eyes six or eight inches
in diameter, having an arrangement
of bony plates which seem to have
enabled it to change the focus of the
eyes, fitting them for Sharp vision at

A Romance of the Circus Side Show
Reached Its Climax During the
Merry Christmas Time.

A St Louis dispatch to the New
York World tells how romance of
the circus sideshow reached its eli
max when Jack w. c. Barnette, of
Boxboro, N. c., 81 years old, 38 inch
es high and weighing 45 pounds, got
a license to marry Miss Dorothy Da-
vid Warfeld, 10 years old, about 5
feet inches in height and weighing
1870 pounds.
Mrs L. H. Morris, feet inches
tall, weighing 126 pounds, was to be
matron of honor, the couple announc-
ed, and her husband, man of ordi-
nary size, was selected as the best
man.
Barnett had to be lifted upon a
high stool when he was called upon
to sign the application for license
at the city hall. With the stool be-
meath him he stood with his head
about on level with that of the
| bride-to-be.

he has travelled with the sideshows OF
circuses, he told a reporter. With
the same circus Miss Warfeld, until
last April high school girl of Balti-
more, does a mystery act. She is
placed in a cabinet, but when the
curtains are pulled back, Barnette
explained, she is not there, etc, etc.
Then flowers began growing from a
vase also, etc.
Barnette said the rivalry for Miss
Warfield's favor was very keen, sew
eral freaks, such as the human os-
trich, the ossified man and the wild
man being in the race.
