BERCULOSIS COMMISSION.

The Kentucky tuberculosis Com
mission at a meeting held recently
authorized a plan of campaign by
which they expect to cover the ru-
raj sections of approximately ten
Kentucky counties with a health
education campaign in a way that
has not elsewhere been surpassed.
The equipment for a moving picture
exhibit, which was used success
fully for a time last Fall, will be
augmented and the entire equipment
will be mounted in an automobile,
so that various sections of the coun-
try off the railroads may be con-
veniently reached. Mr.. C. II. Pun
phrey, of Lancaster, has been en-
gagged to conduct the work. The use
of the moving pictures will be sup
plemented with slides and a de-
scriptive lecture.

frage for women. He has the credit
of being largely the author of the
Progressive platform. A fine ap-
pearing man, who is said TO know
more about governmental things
than most.
Then came Roosevelt. Well You
should have heard the cheering.
II was wild and catching. Soon
every body in that vast throng was
standing, shouting, waving hats,
newspapers and handkerchiefs.
They cheered, then they cheered
some more and the band joined in
the joyous din. Finally the colonel
got a hearing.
His South American jungle trip
hit him hard. He has lost thirty
pounds in weight at least and no
longer carries the very robust air,
that speaks of fitness for the siren
uous life. Moreover, his voice is
perceptibly affected, so that his sen
fences no longer ring out like
pistol shot. Several times his voice
became husky and il was with effort
that he spoke.
The address was an attack on
penr0se and bossism, with criticisms
of President Wilson and the Demo-
Gratis for the tariff act, the depres-
sion in business, their attitude to-
wards the trusts and railroads. and
their foreign policy.
These criticisms were positively
asserted but not at all detailed. The
impression left was that of a vague,
lll-defined dissatisfaction. Posi-
bly, he preferred to leave the State
party leaders free to formulate their
own particular issues. In his at
tack, however, on PenrOse there was
no Vagueness.
His appearance was that of a man
who needed recuperatiOn and who
