What rubercuIosis Costs.

1t has been estimated that deaths
from tuberculosis cost the nation half
a billion dollars annually through the
loss of wages and the value Of produc-
tion, and to conquer this enemy Of
the human race more than twenty
million dollars is being expended.
That the good work is progressing is
shown by the fact that in 20 years
the death rate from tuberculosis has
been reduced from 245.4 to 1853 per
100000 Of population. This ucces
has been made possible by the dis
covery Of the germ of tuberculosis by
DR.. Robert Koch, 80 years ago, there
by opening the way for a scientific
fight against this, the most deadly dis
ease the human race has ever had to
contend with.-Scientitic American.

MADE A sPRINTING RECORD

The old veteran had paused in his

tiently, thinking he had left of.
* Il recollect,r he continued, dreamily
that at the battle of the Alma / had a
very exciting time. Bullets were pelt-
ing upon us like rain. Men fell right

managed to get within a hundred yards
of our position.
Il was mad with excitement, and
wasn't thinking Of nothing except
fighting for all / was worth. All of a

South America.

"The people Of South America are
people of great and brilliant possible
ties. The leading man, perhaps, in the
last Hague conference was a Brazil
ian. Among the common people there
are immense possibilities of undevel-
oped character and service" so de-
clares a religious leader.
Where in the world viii you find
a more patriotic people?' he contin-
ues.
Where in the world will you find
a people who have been as willing as
the South American people have been
for 100 years to die for great ideas
and for great causes and for great per-
sonal loyalties?
"They lie at our door today--these
forty million people, awaiting at our
hand the help that is to make of them
great and powerful nations, and to
enable them to discharge their duty of
service to the world"

MENTAL ACTIVITY AND AGE
That Attitude of the Mind Has Much
to Do With Length of Life Is
Well Known.

A few years ago a young mar
/, "died of old age in a New York hos
pital, After an autopsy the surgeons
said that while the youth was in real
ity only twenty-three years old, he
was internally eighty.
It is the aged mind that frequently
makes the body old. Keep growing
or die" is natures motto, a motto
written all over everything in the
universe. There must be a constant
activity in the mind that would not
age; and the body is but the express
sion of the mind.
There is no doubt that, as a race,
we shorten our lives very materially
through our false thinking, our bad
living, and our old-age convictions,
Doctor Metchnikof Of the Pasteur in
stitute in Paris says that men should
live at least 100 years. Yet it is
only in rare instances today that a
man reaches even the century mark.
Making a business Of prolonging

possible of its vigor, freshness and
buoyancy ought to be a prime object
especially after one has passed fifty.
While proper are Of the body is alb
solutely essential for the attainment
of this object, the mental influence far
transcends all others. The attitude
of the mind has everything to dc
with fastening or retarding the de
%generative process incident to ones
declining years. 1t is an established
fact that the body follows the
thought, is shaped by the mental con
victions, emotions, moods,-Orisor
