habit of eating only few favorite

PLAN FOR MEMORABLE DAY
Anti-TubercuIosis Society Has Set
Apart Sunday, Dec. 7, for
Special Purpose.

Last year over 10000 churches
preached sermons on the prevention Of
consumption on tuberculosis day,
which will be held on December this
year. 1t is hoped this year to swell
the number Of churches to 100000 and
to urge similar action besides in
large number Of the schools and other
societies. The tuberculosis day cam
paign will come this year during the
Red Cross Christmas seal sale. It IL
planned to urge the churches Of the
country to take a definite part in this
movement. The observance of Tuber-
culosis day was Endorsed last year by
President Taft, Cardinal Farley. Col
onel Roosevelt and many other promi-
nent churchmen and public officials.
Proclamations calling upon the people
to observe this day were issued BY
governors Of more than dozen states
and by the mayors Of a considerable
of cities.

operator at a distance, but it requires
special receiving apparatus in the tor
pedo itself. 1t can perform what is
expected of it, but it is not practical
for the very good reason that the
operator cannot see far enough to ex-
ercise his judgment in the control of
the instrument. Take q motor boat
1000 yards away-you can't tell ex-
actly how she is heading. How much
harder then to Judge the steering Of
a distant torpedo! The French navy
has already had trials with wireless
torpedoes, and what Ulivi has accom-
plished Is probably an extension Of
these experiments.
Now. what mysterious power IL 1t
that he has? Or. better, what il Ulivi
trying to obtain?
Briefly this: Some means of pro-
jecting energy through space that will
detonate some explosive at a given
place, subject to the control Of the
operator.
AS have said, this is no new idea.

could project the Hertzian waves or
