What tuberculosis Costs.

1t has been estimated that deaths
from tuberculosis cost the nation half
a million dollars annually through the
loss of wages and the value of the
things workers would produce if they
were not suffering from the disease
To conquer this enemy of the human
race more than $20,000,o00 a year is
expended That the good work is pro-
crossing is shown by the fact that in
20 years the death rate from tubercu-
losis has been reduced from 245.4 to
15S per 100000 population.

No human being is wise enough to
predict the total outcome of the great
war now being waged; but the most
ignorant person of us all can conceive
at least a few of the possible changes
it will bring about. One of them will
be, presumably, what may be called,
for lack of better term, a WORLD
PATRIOTISM. BY this is meant, of
course, a passion for the welfare of the
human race, such as we all now feel
for our native lands. If the possibility
of experiencing such a sentiment for
so vast and complex an object seems
inconceivable, we have only to remem
Der that human affection has been
gradually extended in ever widening
circles, since time began. At the first
it was as much as the individual could
do to love his family. By slow degrees
he was able to embrace his clan and
then his tribe, and finally the nation
into which number of scattered
tribes were merged.
When one stops to reflect upon the
matter, it is almost miracle that /,
human heart can feel affection for so
vast and complex an object as that of
a nation of hundred million of peo-
pie inhabiting territory of thousands
of miles in extent and Incorporating
a half-doZen races and a thousand in
situations of the greatest possible con- !
trasts and complexities.
And yet, that affection becomes so !
intimate and profound that countless |
are willing to die for an
object which it is all but inconceivable
hat they can even comprehend at all.
If the human mind is capable of feel
ng sentiment so sublime, what is
% hinder it from widening out until
t embraces world?
Now that the means of communica-
ion and travel here been raised to
;uch a degree of perfection, it is safe
o say that intelligent people can form

is they did, century ago, of a ma

PATROLMEN OF OKLAHOMA
CITY MUST DELIVER Goods

Oklahoma City. May l3.-Oklaho-
ma City policemen have been warned
by Chief Nichols to Watch their
step" An order from the mayor and
made a police rule by the chief was
issued stating that in case the coun-
ty sheriffs force raids joint" on
any policeman's beat before the place
has been reported to the chief by that
officer, the latter will be suspended
from the force for thirty days on a
charge OF incompetency In case of
second occurrence of that nature
the officer is to be dismissed from the
force for good,
This will make every officer alive
to his duty, and will lead to the ex-
termination of hundreds of little
bootlegging joints that would in alt
probability remain undiscovered is
the belief of officials who proposed
the rule.

Flower Thieves AND VAN
DALs WILL Be PROSECUTED
WOMEN COMPLAIN THAT BOYS
AND GIRLS DESTROY FLOWER
BEDS AND STEAL ROSES

A crusade against flower thicvea
and vandals who tear up bushes by
the roots is being considered by May
or Nissley.
Guthrie is proud of the fact that 1t
is known throughout the state and
the country as the Rose City, and
vandals will be prosecuted who are
found destroying the beauty that has
been made possible by the women Of
this citz" said the mayor today.
Flower beds in every part of the
city have been wantonly destroyed,
flowers stolen and then thrown away
in many cases. A bunch Of kid "joy
elders" are responsible for much Of
the thievery, it is said. Others, and
young children, are thought
to be vandals, too. Chief Mitchell
will put plainclothes men at work on
the case and in case those caught
are found guilty nothing can save
them. They will be prosecuted on
three charges, theft, trespassng on
private property and vandalism or
destruction of property The least
that VIII be given will probably be
a big fine and thirty days in jail.
