A set Of books Of some kind seems
to be almost a necessity in any line
Of activity. We must keep account
Of receipts and disbursements for va
rious excellent reasons. The habit OF
keeping fairly close track Of individual
expenses is usually a good one. But
1t must be remembered that as the
business institutions does not exist for
the sake Of its books. or the money
In the till. for that matter, but for
the prosperity Of the business. 80 ac-
count books are for people, and not
people for account books. And when
n has contracted the account habit
to such an extent that it becomes an
obsession, and the mind. sleeping or
walking is full Of computations of
nickels and dimes. it may be a good
thing to throw the accounts into the
fire and go out and spend some money
foolishly.

n TUBERCULOSIS.

AT the present time there is no
specific cure known for tuberculosis.
There have at various times been va
rious so-callcd remedies recommends
ed and exploited. but thus far not one
Of them has stood the cold test of
scientific investigation. 1t does not
follow that such specific will not be
found. In all probability the search
for a remedy will be successful. lust
as success has attended the search
for remedies for various other dis
cases. 1t may be that the Friedman
treatment which is now being investi-
gated will prove all that has been
claimed for it. But. if 1t proves that
a specific for consumption has at
last been found. 1t is exceedingly un-
likely that there will he a realization
Of all the e~xtravagant hopes that have
been based on the announcements
made.
The real cure for a disease. generally
speaking, and the zeal means Of pre-
venting the disease lies IN the ability

mcnts and. of itself. throw off the
causes which contribute to it. Specific
remedies are useful in aiding to bring
about this condition. Tuberculosis is
a disease whose ravages extend into
the tissues, the blood. the bones. into
every part of the system. Perhaps
more than any other Of our common
diseases, the success OF the patient in
resisting it lies in his sound physical
condition. That will remain true, even
if some specific is found which will
tend for a time to aid in immunizing
the body.
Tuberculosis patients arc warranted
in hoping that this or some other REM
edy may he found which will be Of
service to them. But it will remain
highly important to them that they
follow the rules which natur has laid
down for the building up Of a sound
physical condition. Briefly stated these
include the breathing Of pure air, the
eating of nourishing food. the taking
of rational exercise and the cultiva.
ton Of a cheerful disposition.

the line of march and to preserve or

Herein lies full justification for de-

Dinner Stories

One cold winter morning, a man Of
tall, angular build was walking down
a steep hill at "A quick pace. A treach-
erous piece OF ice under the snow
caused him to lose control of his feet;
he began to slide and was unable to
stop. At a cross street half way down
the incline he encountered a large,
heavy woman with her arms full OF
bundles. The meeting was sudden.
Before either realized 1t there was a
collision. and both went sliding down
hill. a grand cnsembie-tne thin man
beneath and the fat woman. with her
bundles. on top. When the bottom
was reached and the woman was try

FIGHTING THE WHITE HOUSE.

Chicago Record Herald: Thousands
are awaiting in an agony of suspense
the outcome of the governments tests
Of the Friedman vaccine for tuber-
culosis. 1t is pathetic to think how
they would receive an unfavorable
verdict; yet such n verdict is, Of
course. quite possible and in any case
1t cannot be rendered ever tentatively
for several months. In the meantime,
We must not forget that the present
scientific treatment has yielded excel.
lent results. and that. whatever the
tuberculosis is being prosecuted with
vigor and skill.
The fourth annual report Of the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis shows that
nearly s19,0OO,00O was spent in the
campaign against the white plague
during 1912. The total is nearly $4,-
500, 00o, Or about 20 per cent greater
than in 1911, n the further signif-
cant fact appears that during 1912
0v'o pSA NShl VI lLC WIlOlO dlIIOuuL
spent came from federal. state or mu.
nicipal funds. This fact shows that
the responsibility has MOI been shifted
to a very large extent upon the pub
lie. where it belongs. There was an
increase Of about 5000. 900 in the
mount expended for hospital con-
struction and treatment. and over
$4,000 was spent for the establish
ment and maintenance Of open-air
schools, which is more than double
the amount spent for the same pur-
pose in 1911. New York heads the
list OF states in the amount spent, H.
linois coming coming fifth with a total
expenditure Of ~s930,370. Of which
$623,000 came from the people.

A GOOD ENDING.

The state legislature, in the last
hours Of its existence, rescued from
what appeared certain to be death the
submission to the voters Of the state
of the question whether or not they
wish to adopt measures which are
commonly called direct legislation
measures.
One bill was passed providing for
the application of the initiative and
referendum to statutory law. This is
provided for in the amendment In
cluded this year in the diversion reso-
luton. That amendment provides for
the submission to a vote Of the peo-
Pie or the initiative petition Of at
least ten per cent Of the electors of
any law which may be desired, and
Of the reference to the people Of any
act Of the legislature on the petition
pf ter per cent Of the voters. This
proposal differs from the one in the
Ployhar- Blakemore bill in that While
It provides In one place for a petition
of "at least ten per cent" and in the
other of ten per cent" while in the
latter bill the provision is for mot
more than eight per cent" in one case,
and mot more than five per cent" in
the other. Under the Ployhar-Blake-
more bill it would have been possible,
80 1t is argued. for the legislature to
lower the percentage at any time. In
der the Overson measure the percen-
to-z v,,o,, IN Roisol ~. T.. &L4 Gs,< to-
but cannot be lowered.
The Gibbons bill provides for the
amendment of the constitution on the
initiative petition signed by at least %
per cent Of the legal voters in not less
than one-half the counties uf the state.
The Ployhar- Blaker1ore bill provides
for an initiative petition, but makes
no mention of any number Of people
who may be required to sign 1t. Fur
ther the bill Just passed provides that
an amendment on being voted on by
the people shall he approved, not by
a majority Of the voters voting on
that question, but by a majority OF
those voting at a general election
whether they vote on that proposition
or not.
We believe that the legislature has
done wisely in passing these bills. and
in passing them rather than those
earlier defeated. The people will have
opportunity to say whether they wish
legislation Of this character or not. At
the same time the way will not have
been cleared by this legislation for
the infection on the people of agitation
and controversy at elections over mat
tiers in which there Is no real general
