Climate and Consumption.
From the Chicago Journal.

From the Chicago Journal.
One of the most hopeful discoveries of
modern medicine Is that nearly all cases
OF tuberculosis be cured in the pa
tents home climate if taken in time. In
oden days the person who showed signs
of going into a decline was advised to
try change OF air. He was sent to
Florida, the mountains, the seashore or
the woods. 1t didn't seem to matter
much where he went; the essential thing
was to move.
With more careful study this random
advice gave place to clear and intelligent
direction In the choice of climate, and
now it is known that the average case of
tuberculosis, taken early, can be cured
almost anywhere. Fresh air, nourishing
food, abundant. rest and absence of worry
these are the important factors in
treating tuberculosis, and they can be
found without long Journeys. This is no
denial of the influence of climate on tu-
berculosis. The dry, sun-soaked plains
of Colorado. New Mexico and Arizona re-
main the ideal resort for consumptives
Unluckily, ideals are not always attain
able. If patient must choose between
a boarding house in the Rocky mountains
and a sanatorium at home. he had better
take the sanatorium. This advice is not
particularly popular with certain real es-
tate agents and railroad companies, but
1t is sound.

LISBON, November II, 1913,
Several interesting phases of the mon
archist uprising in Portugal during the
night of October 20 have just become
known through the confession of a naval
engineer. The Investigation which fol-
lowed resulted in the arrest of 200 ma
rines, eighteen seregants and many Off
GERS. The plot had its inception at the
marine barracks.
t'reitas Ribero, minister of the navy,
received a note in the evening from a
naval engineer who had been involved in
the monarchist instruction last April
and who was confined in the prison of
the barracks. The note Informed Ribeiro
that Il monarchist conspiracy would Gull
inmate by an uprising within a few
hours. Ribeiro went Immediately to the
barracks on the pretense of inspecting
them. As he passed through the prison
wing ne inquired whether there were any
prisoners i'll the cells. The name of the
officer who had written him was men,

prisoner he brought to him.

told to hold himself ready to take part

In line with the establishment Of the

as one industry under government

crude canphor gum TO be used in manu-
featuring smokeless powder and celluIoid
The use of camphor has extended SO far

The Lincoln Way
From the New York Evening Post.


When community finds itself rever-
encing the very footsteps of greatness
it must be near, indeed. to the Carly
lean .'living-light fountains" In 1911 the
Illinois legislature periodically resolved
that the roads which Lincoln and his
parents traversed from Kentucky to In
diana, and thence to the rude Sangamon
home of his later youth, should be de-
termined and marked forever as the
Il lincoln Way Funds were appropri-
ated. and Mr.. c. NJ. Thompson of the
state university appointed as special in
yestigator. His preliminary report, just
published, shows how the task grew
from small beginnings to a complex
historical inquiry.
