Necessary Rewards.

Were it not for the prizes of life
there would be little effort. Few are
those who labor for love, and the law
Of creations seems to have contained
the necessity for struggle, with re-
ward attached. Sons go out to labor
as matter Of course, but daughters
are sometimes needed at home, where
they will not remain without COM
pensation. To fit all girls for money
getting Is the duty of parents, but
they need not be driven to use that
knowledge outside of home If parents
are able and willing to make them
independent financially. Half the
wages of a housemaid would serve to
keep daughter. as a valuable home
worker. The benefit to the girl can
not be over-estimated.-Ex

Be Kind to the Animals,

This is the time Of the year when
domestic animals need most consider
ate treatment from human beings.
The hot weather takes the life out of
many a horse that could go on work
ing comfortably for years in a mod
crate temperature. To the dogs ex-
IRENE heat is as exhausting as it is to
their masters. The cats are not SO
much affected by the heat, but this is
the time of year when the majority
of cat owners seem to feel free to
go out of town and leave their house
hold pets to the tender mercies OF
their neighbors. So every city church

which can occur GOODNESS and safety

PLAN FOR TUBERCULOSIS DAY
December 7 Set Apart as Period OF
Special Effort In the Combating OF
the White Plague.

Churches, schools. labor unions,
fraternal orders and other organiza-
tons to the number 100000 at least
will be asked to join the anti-tubercu-
losis workers of the country In the OBJ
servance of the Fourth National
Tuberculosis day, which has been des-
ignated for December Z, according to
an announcement issued by the Ma
tional Association of the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis.
The movement will be furthered
throughout the country by more than
1000 anti-tuberculosis societies work
ing through various state organiza-
tions and the National association.
Personal appeals will be made to
clergymen, school principals and lead
ers OF various organizations urging
them to set aside a definite time dur
ing the week preceding or the week
following December Z, for the lecture
on tuberculosis.
Last year over $4,000 churches gave
attention to this subject on Tubercu-
losis day. 1t is hoped this year to
swell the number Of churches to 100,-
900 and to urge similar action be
sides in large number of the schools
and other societies. The Tuberculosis
day campaign will come this year dur
ing the Red Cross Christmas seal sale.
1t is planned to urge the churches Of
the country to take a definite part in
this movement

washington. That the United
States in its policy toward the pro-
visional government in Mexico is con-
tent to await the outcome of the
steady pressure being exerted to
bring about the downfall of the
Huerta regime, is apparent in official
circles here. Exciting rumors from
Mexico City wholly failed to ruffle the
calm confidence of President Wilson
or Secretary of State Bryan.
"The mills of the gods grind slow
~" was the declaration Of one high
Official of the government in discuss
ing the developments. The Presi-
dent was not at all aroused by the re-
port that Mr. O'Shaughnessy, the
American charge d'affaires, was about
to quit Mexico City, and it was stated
that no orders had been given either
to Mr.. O'Shaughnessy or John Lind, at
Vera Cruz, to leave Mexico.
The President, it is said, is con-
fident that the financial boycott of the
Huerta regime by the United States
and the great foreign powers will be
q powerful factor in bringing about
the end of Huerta.
In discussing the persistent rumors
that Charge d'Affaires O'Shaughnessy
was about to take his departure, leav-
ing the American Embassy's records
In the care of one of the ministers
representing the foreign powers, Sec
rotary Bryan stated fatty that neither
the charge nor Mr.. Lind had any con-
ditional instructions and intimated
that both were acting under precise
instructions from Washington in every
step in the negotiations. Indications
based on the few admissions of the
State Department officials are that no
action is contemplated at present that
would precipitate crises in the situa-
ton. On the other hand, it was re-
marked that no one here can foretell
what action General Huerta might
take in the City Of Mexico that would
bring about such crisis.

CRAFTS PIGsKIN ON hi
Best Material for Certain Operation
Says Physician Before Medical
Association.

Kansas City, Mo. Al number Of he5
roes are apt to be thrown out Of jobsi
according to DR.. G. s. Venable of Sam
Antonio, Tex, who spoke on "The USE
of Pigskin In Grating" before the
Medical Association of the Southwest
recently In session here.
Doctor Venable. an authority on
skin grating, said the skin OF the
young pig is the best material avail
able for such operations. He said:
1T is even better than human skim
Records show that only about fifty per
cent. Of the skin grated from person
other than the patient takes. The
percentages Of takes from other amir
mails, including the rabbit, frog, cat;'
dog, chicken and guinea pig, all Of
which have been used, is only about
thirty-two per cent. Their organisms
are too frail to stand the strain. In
experiments covering three years !
have shown that seventy-five to ona
hundred per cent. of the pigskin
grated to human beings takes.

newsboy who gave his life to save that
of a girl he had never, seen, would be-

to several young porkers.
Cell conditions, especially with }ref-
erence to their hardihood and rapidity
Of growth, are the primary factors in
skin grating. My experiments show
that when pig is injured, ev IN

ditions, its wounds heal more rapidly
than those of any other living thing.

shaving it in this way the danger OF

The new skin is about the same thick
