In spite of the statements of a num- Der of individuals who have recently claimed that they have found 8 '"cure" for consumption, the National Associ- ation for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, the highest authority on this disease in America, declares that there is no information at hand to jus tify the belief that any specific cure for tuberculosis has been discovered which deserves the confidence of the medical profession and the people. Backing up these statements, the United States public health service declares that outside of the three es- sentials in the treatment of consump- tion. namely, rest, fresh air, and good food. There is no drug known, how ever rare or expensive it may be, that has any curative action in this disease, and all remedies advertised as such are to be avoided. Patent cough med icines are harmful; redium, X-rays or electricity in any of it's form have no special value in tuberculosis of the lungs. No serum has yet been found that will cure it, and there Is no plas- ter or poultices which has any effect on the disease itself.

Astoria, Ore-Risto Katajisto, a Finnish farmer residing near Winlock, Wash, on coming here for medical treatment for what he sul posed was blood-poisoning in his feet, was star tied to learn from the examining phy- sician, pr. Hartman, that he was af- flicted with leprosy
 According to the local physician, the case is of long standing, the dis ease being manifested on all parts of the patients body. The man himself admitted that he had been suffering for five years with the disease, but did not know. it's nature, and had never consulted physician.
 Dr. Hartman enlightened, the man as to the nature of his ailment, and told him he could offer no aid, and Katajisto left for his home at Win lock on the evening train.
 Dr. Hartman at once notified the Washington state board of health as to his discovery. Katajisto is fifty seven years old, and has wife and a number of children. He lives on a small farm in the vicinity of Winlock.

WORK OF BASEBALL SCOUTS
Interesting Feature of Wonderful De- veIopment of Game as Commercial
 and Sporting institution.

Few people realize the amount of hard work which is put in On behalf of big league baseball clubs for the pur- pose of locating and developing new talent. Every year the big clubs have baseball scouts securing the country, some of whose journeyings take them mileage sufficient to encircle the globe every year. They travel from Maine to California and back again, ofttimes, the slightest report of good thing being followed up with the utmost possible speed.
 These scouts generally are old time players and they have very keen ap- preciation of what is necessary to make big league player; and yet, at that, they are frequently fooled. In- deed, the getting of phenomenon is largely a matter of luck after all. Some of the keenest scouts in the country have turned down some of the most wonderful players, while scouts ot mediocre ability have turned up world renowned baseball artists.
 The system appears to be necessary. Baseball clubs keep scouts going on the same theory that nations maintain and equip a standing army. They do it because the other fellow does and so scouting has come to be as much a part of baseball equipment as any thing else. Whether it pays or not is another question. It certainly is an interesting feature of the wonderful devlopment of baseball as conner cial as well as sporting institution

SPEED NOW A. GREAT FACTOR
Modernized Baseball Uses Faster Play Than Was the Case in Earlier
 Days of the Game.

It is in the base stealing department that the biggest difference between the old-time ball players and the present generation is found. A comparison be- tween the figures of 20 years ago and now shows a remarkable falling off.
 In 1886 in the National league three men stole more than 50 bases. Harry Stoyey led the American association with 96 steals. In 1887 Stovey broke all records stealing 143 bases. Arlie Latham was close second with 142. In the National league Johnny Ward
 led with no steals, the late Jimmy Fogarty being second with 102. In 1888 Stovey made a. record that will hardly be touched. He stole 156 bases.

A steep street 1s- sues from beneath his throne, a hill street judged too steep and narrow for carts to ascend, and the medley of human and animal like which comes and goes under the archway gives one a knowledge of the kind of population which filters away and is absorbed by the hills. It Is hilly country, and the distances are long. The women are not carrying bundles on their heads. They themselves as well as their merchandise are car ried on the back of the family donkey. Peasants with knives thrust into the - folded cloaks on their shoulders lin ger in groups, still bargaining. Farm CTS on mules ride off alone as men having affairs to attend to. Mules emerge in trains, and, being claimed, disperse on varying roads. Women stay to chaffer with others beating washing in the wayside washing-fo -foun- tain. A child guards herd of goats.

 The temper of the family and the good cheer around the table depend so much on the good digestion of each individual present that the experiences of some former dyspeptics who over came their trouble should be of inter- est to those now suffering in this way.
 The best advice one can give-but 1t is advice that Is seldom heeded-is to eat slowly and masticate each mouth full carefully. However, if slow eating and careful mastication fail the next aid is one close to nature, Dr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin. This remedy is an excellent digestant, and in addition to helping in the digestion of the food. acts gently on the liver and bowels, ridding them of the accumulation of waste that should long ago have been passed of. It is safe, reliable. pleas anttasting, and results are guaran- teed.

Signorelli and Fra An gellco, from opposite poles, decorated one of it's chapels between them. It has one of the greatest festivals in Italy. The central doctrine of the Catholic church took shape here and became dogma, and there are vest ments in it's museum which were used at the council of Trent. Yet the struc- ture, in spite of the attention called to it each year at it's festival, has hap oily escaped the restoring" period. At one time there was a plan to cover the Duomo with stucco, to suit the prevailing taste of the time. The marks of the plans may still be seen on the pavement round the pillars: But lack of money and enthusiasm prevented this disaster, and the in- terior remains beautiful and "unre- stored" the marble front mellowed by the securing rain and snow; the ala baster windows feigntng sunshine within; the chapel of Signorelli visit ed by the cpnnoisseur and that of the Sacrament by the devout.

 Perhaps if one sat with the old bishop above the Porta Maggiore one would watch day in and day out a more typical Orvietan gathering than any which frequents the Duomo.

 Electric light is used in the great Hantsholm lighthouse in Denmark which is situated in the Skager Rack at the northwest coast of Jutland, this point being dangerous one for ma riners on account of bad weather and heavy seas.
