SPIRIT IN TUBERCULOSIS WAR
Nineteen Million Dollars Expended
Last Year In Fight Against the
Dread White Plague.

Nearly $4,000. 900 was spent in the
antituberculosis campaign in the
United States during the year 1912, &C
cording to the fourth annual statisti-
cal statement of expenditures in this
movement issued by the National As
ISOLATION for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis. The expenditures
during the year for sanatorium and
hospital construction and treatment
make the largest single item i'm the
total, amounting to nearly S16,S00, 900.
This is an increase of nearly $1,000.
600 over the same group of expendi-
lures for the year 1911. The anti
tuberculosis associations and commit
tees spent over S765,0O0, while dis
pensaries and tuberculosis clinics
spent over 100000. Over $415,00o
was spent for the maintenance and
establishment of open-air school and
fresh air classes, which is more than
double the amount spent for this pur-
pose in 1911. Ohcial, state and mu-
nicipal expenditures outside of the
maintenance of institutions, which are
included in the other totals, amount
ed to $3.50, 900. In addition to these
figures. about 100000 was spent by
hospitals for insane and penal insti-
tutions in caring for their tuberculosis
inmates.

vanish in the grove OF pines on the
edge of the bluff by the shore
The man was John Ellery, the min
lister. Evidently, he had not some
home, nor had he taken the short
cut Instead he had walked down
town long way and then turned in to
cross the fields and work his way
back.
Annabel put down the glass and,
needless of her fathers call, sat think
ing. The minister had deliberately de-
ceived her. More than that, he had
gone to considerable trouble to avoid
observation. Why had he done it?
Had he done the same thing on other
Sunday afternoons? Was there any
real reason why he insisted on leav-
ing the house regularly at four O'Clock?

CHAPTER TX.

In Which keziah's Troubles Multiply.
Keziah was getting worried about
her parson. Not concerning his popu-
larity with his congregation. She had
long since ceased to worry about that.
But what worried Mrs. Coffin was
John Ellery's personal appearance and
behavior. He had grown perceptib1y
thinner during the past month, his
manner was distrait,1 and, worst of all
in the housekeeper's eyes, his appetite
had fallen off. She tried all sorts of
tempting dishes, but the result was
discouraging.
His Observation-Disclosures was most
acute on Sunday evenings, before pray
er meeting, and after he had returned
from the afternoon at Captain FL
kanah's.
Say, Mr.. Ellery," she said, on one
of these Sunday evenings, do you
know, it seems to me that Elkanah's
meals must go to your head. You
amt in love, are you?"
The young man started, colored, and
was plainly embarrassed.
In love?" he repeated I'm love,
Mrs. Cofin?"
Yes, in love. Annabe1 hasn't land
ed male at last, has she? She's a
line over the side for a long time"
The hearty laugh with which this
was received settled the question of
Annabels success. Keziah was re-
lieved
We'll, I'm glad of that" she said.
Il amt got any grudge against Anna
bel, but neither have 1 got any against
you I'll say this. though, for a body
that amt in love you certainly stay
with the Danielses a long time. You
went there right after meetin' this
noon and now it's seven O'Clock and
you've just got home. And twas the
same last Sunday and the one before.
Been there all the time, have you?"
NO." he said slowly. Not all the
time. I-I-er-went for a short
walk"
Before she could inquire concerning
that walk he had entered the study
and closed the door after him.
Sunday was a cloudy. warm day.
''muggy," so Captain Zeb described it.
After the morning service Mr.. Ellery,
as usual, went home with Captain
Daniels and Annabel. Keziah returned
to the parsonage, ate a lonely dinner.
and went upstairs to her own room.
Her trunk was in one corner of this
room and she unlocked it, taking from
a compartment of the tray a rosewood
writing case, inlaid with mother-of

DREADED TO EAT.
A Quaker Couples Experience.

How many persons dread to eat
their meals, although actually hungry
nearly all the time!
Nature never intended this should
be so, for we are given a thing called
appetite that should guide us as to
what the system needs at any time
and can digest
But we get in a hurry, swallow our
food very much as we shovel coal into
the furnace, and our sense Of appetite
becomes unnatural and perverted.
Then we eat the wrong kind of food
or eat too much, and there you are

cries.

dreaded to eat our meals. (Tea in

caffeine, the same drug found in cof-

Accidentally, small package Of

Inconsistencies Spells photographs.

Aunt Maria thought, and so did her
relatives in the big city, that the
photographer was unpardonably dis
courteous For three successive days
he refused to take Aunt Maria's photo
graph. On the fourth day he told
why.
I'm justice to her." he said, Il do
not want to take her pictures now
She is too homesick- Most out-of-
town people want to be photographed
while in the city. If they are longing
for home 1 put them off with one ex-
cuse or another until the homesick-
ness wears of
IF you want your aunt's pictures to
turn out well, just hunt up some ono
from her home town who happens to
be visiting here at present and bring
him here so she will meet him unex-
pectedly. The meeting will put sparkle

From the case she took packet of

in high-collared coat, stock and fancy

the top of the pile, she read it slowly.
And, as she read, she sighed again
She did not hear the back door of
