OCTOBER p TUBERCULOSIS DAY.

Churches and religious ocieties, to
the number of at least 100000, will
he urged to give special attention to
the prevention of tuberculosis on
Sunday, October, or on some day
during the week preceding or the
week following that date. This sea-
| son has been set apart and designat-
ed as the ThirdNational tuberculosis
Day by the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tuber-
culosis.
Tuberculosis Day was originally set
on April 18th, but was postponed be-
cause of a conflict with Conservation
Sunday of the Men and Religion For
ward Movement, which was held ON
that date. The observance of Tubcr-
culosis Day in the fall this year will
be utilized by anti-tuberculosis work
crs not only for the general education
of churchgocrs on consumption, but
also for the purpose of interesting
them in the sale of Red Cross Christ
mas Seals.
Every one of the 600 and more
anti-tuberculosis associations allied
with the National Association, will
be urged to promote tuberculosis Day
in their respective communities.
While last year over $4,000 churches
observed this occasion, it is expected
this year that this number will be
doubled. Millions of circulars and
other forms of literature will be dis
tributed. The support of every re-
ligious denomination will be asked
for.
That tuberculosis is a serious pro-
blem among church congregations is
evidenced by statistics which the
National Association gathered last
year, which show that 10 per cent.
of all deaths among church members
are caused by tuberculosis. Based on
these figures and on the mortality
statistics of the Census Bureau, over
81 900 of the 33,OOO,OOO commune
cants in churches in the United States
die from tuberculosis every year. This
figure ASSUMES that the death rate of
l.m per 1000 population in the
Registration Area applies to all
clurchgorrs, when, as matter of
fact, the rate would probably be
higher,

Menu Ease"
Work Shoes
june 6 3mos

In all our shoe selling experience we
never saw an everyday shoe that com
pared with Menu Ease" in any way.
The longer we sell them and the more
we learn about them, the better we like
them.
Its toughness and strength will surprise
you and you'll say its the best leather
you ever saw for everyday shoes because
its as soft and pliable as glove, even
after months of the hardest service. Ask
your neighbor, he wears them.
Read the following testimonial, we
have lots of them:
Woodsboro, Nd, July II, 1911.
The pair of Menu Ease" shoes pur-
chased of you last August have given en-
tire satisfaction. Began wearing them at
once, and wore them right along until
about December first when they were
changed for felts. About the LIST of March
again put on the shoes and still wear
them. Have had them half soled twice
and tapped once, also new heels. The
uppers are still good and soft and am just
now trying to decide if they will not be
worth another pair of soles.

In MemOriam.
In sad but loving remembrance of our
dear mother, Sarah Elizabeth Eyler, who
died five years ago, August Is, 1907.
Some may think we have:forgotten you,
And our wounded hearts are healed;
Little do they know the sorrow
That's within our hearts concealed.
We often sit and think of you
When we are all alone,
For memory is the only friend
That grief can call its own.
She will never be forgotten,
Never shall her memory fade;
Sweetest thoughts shall ever linger
Round the grave where she is laid
By Her Children.

Presently there was the CLINT Of a

But Silvestri delayed. Perhaps the
astute barber knew that the time was
not ripe. At any rate, Mona Lisa fiut-
tered in and out all the next day with
out being called upon for a penny's
worth of molasses.
Meanwhile, Madeleine had watched
for quite another visitor. She wat
cred the poinsettia and turned 1t in
the sun. She arranged the popular
magazines in rows along the window
ledge and she piled up the old news
papers to be returned. Still no tall
figure swung around the corner of
Olive Street, no bright face smiled a
greeting The color in Maddelena's
cheeks deepened, and her eyes flashed.
She was too much of belle to relish
neglect. Where then was Giovanni?
Where, indeed?
Many young men loitered into the
shop, only to look at Madeleine, and
Emilia found her post as chaperone
no sinecure. She had, more than
once, to help wait on the customers
while the red spots on Maddelena's
cheeks grew redder and her eyes
strayed toward the window more and
more frequently. Her admirers drift
ed in, and, discouraged by her mat
tention, drifted out, and the shop was
quite deserted when the east-bound
trolley car came up, distributing the
evening newspapers. The motorman
fred the tightly bound roll adroitly
and it fell at Maddelena's feet as she
ran to get it. She laughed and waved
her hand, standing in her door to
watch the yellow car move rapidly

asked the former cuttingly.
Madeleine WIS silent,

The good woman hesitated, then she
told the truth. 81 heard her say once
she would never marry a cripple"
Giovanni turned his face to the wall.
Emilia went away weeping.
The next week, on the thirteenth of
February, Silvestri spoke to Mona Lisa
for Maddelena. He proposed to COM
bine the barber shop and newsstand.
The scheme had points.-Mona Lisa
saw them. That evening there was a
solemn conclave in Maddelena's shop.
Gorgio was present. Emilia Caterina
and Rizzio. Mona Lisa stated the case.
Maddelena's mind came back from
the hospital and Comma and the two
votive candles with jump. Mona
Lisa was setting the day.
Madeleine must have some

assembly. But the first of March
what day of the week does it fall on,

"I will not marry Silvestri!" said
Madeleine suddenly.

'I will be an old maid!" stormed
the girl, and ran out weeping.
They streamed out after her, and

But she rose early in the morning
