Mr.. Brown is a humorous example of

lays bare his own soul, his inner mem
ory. He wanted especially to help the
public to make reasonable provision for
feeding and housing the initiates in
that fraternity, not for their good alone
but for its own good. He compels a
human attitude, an attitude OF more
than sympathy-of respect and of chiv-
airy towards the consumptive. For the
t. B. is, as most people know. one who
has been invaded and colonized by the
tubercle bacillus of Robert Koch, and
who has come TO know the fact. 1t is
not enough that the bacillus should be
established. Only when the patient has
looked his enemy in the face, felt his
accommodating power. and adjusted life
to his bitter yoke, is he himself a true
initiate into tho brotherhood.

Besides all this, not every one Of the
brotherhood has the gift of exposition,
the capacity to explain the meaning of
things from the consumptive's point of

cling much to tho baser metals of tho

not. Yet the fires of tho furnace are OF

TAKING THE PLACE OF BOOKS-By Dr. W. E. Evans

There can be no doubt about it. The
passion for making money takes away
the love of reading. Not merely from the
man himself, but from those In the home.
He cannot see why money should be
wasted in books. He has gotten along In
life without reading, and his boys and
girls must do so. too. If he were too poor
to buy books, magazines. and other peri
odicals it would be pathetic; but as 1t is
it is a shameful tragedy, house fun of
mental paupersl
But not only does the absorbing passion
for money take the place of books, by
which mean destroy the taste for reading
but certain phases of pleasure do the
same thing. Ask certain large publishers
to what they owe the increasing sales of
books within the past five years Almost
to a man they will tell you the auto
mobile. It is not simply that much of the
peoples money goes into the machine SO
that they cannot buy books, although to
an astonishing degree this is true. But
the automobile takes the time that was
once devoted to reading. It is so con-
venient now to take "a spin" in the moon
light; Mrs. Blank lives only three miles
distant, why not make her visit; a ride
after tea will set you up and so forth
and so on. So, many an evening that else
would be passed with some great author
is now spent with the machine. Nay,
nay; do not for moment think that I
would halt the automobile. It is neither
wrong in 1t itself nor wrong to ride in it,
At our house even In the country we are
talking of getting one when the spring
days. come. 1t is wonderfully pleasing
