The Wheel Of Cd Time in its
unceasing round has brought
birthday for me. The
day was remembered by many
friends, too numerous to thank
in person, so / ask you to give
d little space to offer my thanks
and the gratitude Of my heart
for each and every ond who so
kindly thought Of me. Many
beautiful and useful gifts with
cards of birthday greeting filled
my heart with a grateful joy.
Why should we dread old age
if the sunset Of life is frightened
by kindness and affection and
the love a protection of our
Heavenly Father day by day!
May His blessings be with each

In q number of cases 1t has

Hence it is well to be careful and
keep the system in as good work

never suffer from constipation
you are likely to lessen your la

But that does not mean that il
is wise for you to use calomel, a
poison that stays in the system
and often leaves bad effects be-

appeared to have been bane tied
temporarily. AS a matter Of
fact calomal is exceedingly dam

to you. So it is just as well not

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK,

1T is time, says Henry SleWS III
his weekly New York letter, ito stop
and ponder as to whether reaction
airy tendencies in the stock market
are not about eXhausting themselves.
We enjoyed a pronounced recovery in
January based upon President Will
sons favorable statement in regard
to legislation and upon the usual in
vestment demand OF the season
That advance has been almost entire
ly lost during the past six weeks, and
it can safely be said that the decline
more than discounts any changes
which have happened for the worse.
II is admitted that there has been a
general slowing down Of business
which is part of a worldwide move
ment. The trade reaction in TINS
country, however, has not been very
severe. In most cases it has been
spotty, both as TO industries and To-
calities The somewhat unsatisiact-
DRY situation has, however, been
seriously aggravated by political ten
denotes at Washington and the popu-
larity of corporation batting through
out the country. Much of the latter
must be attributed to politics.. espec-
ldlly DIS q NOilEo CF9SlOllai ClhN NASAA 40 80
prospect next fall. 1t is doubtful,
however if the voting classes are as
hostile in this respect as those cater
ing for their support assume. Last
week it was shown in these adViceS
that there are over 100000 bank
dapositOrs with $700O,000,O0O OF de-
posts in the United States who are
vitality, though often unconsclonSly,
interested in securities. This class
has not yet been awakened TO the in
jury threatening them. 1t is also gen
orally overlooked that there are 81
000, 900 of life insurance policies in
existence in the United States, and
that the assets of these benevolent
institutions amount to over $4,000
00O, 900. Altogether it is safe to say
that the financial interests OF the
bulk of the voters in this country
are being seriously imperiled by the
present unreasonable hostility to-
wards corporations. UnquestiOnably
a few OF the latter deserved the pun
ishment already received, but punish
ment cannot go on forever. Many
mistakes cannot be undOne; and II Is
sheer folly to apply the same treat
ment to the unOfTending as to the
criminal Unless all signs fail, rad
icalism has been its zenith, and be-
fore long we hope to see signs OF
returning sanity in political circles.
President Wilson is believed to be
more or less cOnservatively inclined,
but he is evidently having difficulty
In restraining the radical element. We
do not doubt that Mr.. Wilson is alb
solutely sincere in his promise to
build up business. Perhaps the best
thing that can be done is for the con-
structiye elements in the country TO
aid him in the laudable purpose OF

GLEnWOOO BADLY CROWDED
INSTITUTE THERE HAS 200 APP.
PLlcANTs ON WAITING LIST.
School Ceases to be a Mere Retreat
for Idiots and is Doing a Great
Work in Education.

Des MOines, March 25.-Dhe charac.
ter of one state institution is under
going %Greal cbangel yBeofhse1 of the
change In its general character the
institution at GlenwOOd Is OVercrowd-
ed and has not room now to accom-.
mOdate those who should be there.
Superintendent Mogridge reports that
he has between 1900 and 400 all the
time and has waiting list of 200 ap-
! plicantS for care at the institution.
| The reason for this is that where
' as formerly this institution was mere
lily Il retreat or place OF detention
Tor the idiots, or persons practically
without mentality, it Is now more OF Il
school and Industrial institution for
not only the mentally incompetent
but for all that much larger class of
mentally defective persons looked
upon by the public in other years as
l"queer" but not classed as feeble
minded The institution now receives
"a great many persons that would for
mcrly never have been sent there.
These sub.normal persons now COM
pose the larger part of the population
at the Glenwood institution. They
are able to learn a great deal and are
capable of being taught trades and
habits OF usefulness. When they are
young and are given the proper train
ing they are converted into useful
citizens, in many cases, and practi-
cally always are helped very much by
the special care and education given
them. A great variety of trades and
occupations are taught at the lnstitu-
ion. The result is that now, quite
different from the situation in the
past, the parents of these defective
children seek to have them placed at
the institution for special training.
That Is why the capacity of the insti-
tuition Is tested.

FIGHTING TUBERCULOSIS.

1t seems almost incredible in the face
of the great reduction of tuberculosis
made by the educational propaganda,
carried on throughout this country
that there should be any question as
TO the infectious nature of this dis
ease. The reduction throughout the
registration area of the lifted States
was more than Is per cent in the de.
Genial period ending 1910. Even
casual observers have noted that tn
berculOSis is spread by personal con
tact Families have been destroyed
by il and every community has had
its object lesosn. No age or condi-
ton is exempt from its attacks. No
one can say that he is immune against
tuberculosis Infection. There are,
however, differences in the resisting
power of bodies and at different ages.
A large proportion OF the population
would show a positive reaction TO the
tuberculin test although only small
number would show the clinical signs
of disease. IL is generally believed
by those skilled in the diagnosis of
tuberculosis that infections take place
early in life but that the infection is
quiescent. and unless reinfection
takes place by social contact the IN
lection disappears. tuberculosis is a
great social malady. Ii is transmit
ted by intimate social contact and it
will require no argument here TO
convince thoughtful people that ade-
quate hospital care for the advanced
cases is the most efficient method of
controlling the disease. Efforts 10 Sc
cure isolation and humane care and
intelligent treatment OF cOnsumptiyes
should not be relaxed. Every com
munity in Iowa should apply itself
| diligently TO the unfinished task OF
regulating this dreadful scourge. The
decrease from mortality from tuber
culOsis in Iowa is known TO be very
encouraging and there can be no
doubt that il the battle is pushed TO
the gates, the enemy will finally be
subdued
