IN POSITION TO GIVE ADVICE
elderly Gentleman, Inadvertently
Made Target, Surely Entitled to
Gentle AdmonItIen.

Two young men in Massachu-
sets town went hunting ON holt
day. There was little game about,
and the hunters sat down in a grove
to rest. An object which appeared
to be a round block of wood lying
against tree, and which was about
100 yards distant, was selected as a
mark. ~
The first one to fire held too low,
as the bullet was seen to strike the
ground before it reached the mark.
The other held higher, and the
young men were pleased to see tho
bark fly from the tree an inch above
the mark. AS they we're about to
shoot again the mark was seen to
move, and presently it was perceived
to be the head Of a man. Slowly it
arose to o sitting posture, and then
stood erect, It proved to be ven-
cradle gentleman Of the town who
had taken walk, and, becoming
somewhat fatigued, had lain down
to rest. He had fallen asleep and
was awakened by the bullet striking
the tree. above his head.
The old gentleman Joined the
young men, and in conciliatory
tone remarked "that he didn't want
to interfere with their sport none,
but thought they ought to be a little
more keerful in handlin' guns"

figures are surprising; one wouldn't

Governor Wilson is in favor of a
downward revision of the tariff. and
at once, without waiting for an in
terminable investigation by tariff
commission. He is not q tariff
smasher," he is not :" an acknowl-
edged free trader" and we might add
for the benefit of the Burlington Free
Press that Governor Wilson and his
political friends really do not desire
to accomplish the entire or partial
destruction of the business and In
dustrial interests of the nation.
Here is paragraph from Gov
ernor Wilson's speech of acceptance
Il is obvious that the changes we
make should be made only at such q
rate and in such way as will least
interfere with the normal and health
full course of commerce and manu-
facture. But we shall not on that
account act with timidity, as if we
did not know our own minds. for we
are certain of our ground and oul
object. There should be an imme-
date revision, and it should b.
downward, unhesitatingly and stead
lily downward.
This is fairly temperate and reas
suring, though downward revision
:, arefully and considerably mad'
might possibly pinch few mono
polistic enterprises.

BUSINESS MEN DEMAND THE
PREVENTION OF TU6ER-

There is a growing tendenc.
throughout the state of Iowa for the
establishment of Preventoriums fol
The prevention of tuberculosis. The
Preyentorium is a modern institution
for the proper treatment of children
who are low in vitality from an!
cause whatever. 1t is generally
recognized that tuberculosis is a dis
case of mal-nutr:tion or what is bel
err known as low resistance. In
rreventorium provides place where
physically subnormal children ma!
be treated and built up physically
At the same time they are given IN
struction in methods Of right liv1nt
with especial reference to fresh air
sunlight and the value Of sanitation.
The idea Of the Preventorium has

business men. 1t is now we'll under
stood by associations Of business
men that preventable diseases are
great Drain upon Tic AAhAASAoA
sources of the community. Thai
tuberculosis in particular, which is
d continuous epidemic, demands 9
heavy financial sacrifice from the
state. In many communities there Is
vigorous demand, for the proper
capitalization and care Of tuberculc'
sis. AS a disease Of the masses, SO
ciety as whole must be responsible
for its control. But the Preventoriun
IS much more effective than the San
atorium for the Preventorium takes
the physically ;subnormal child ant
gives him the power to resist dis
ease, meanwhile developing an eff.

lustrates the fact: 'An ounce OF
prevention is better than pound Of
cure and appeals to the business
sense of the community. Economical
~ considered or from any other point
of view, the Preventorium is wise
public policy.
