Educational Comparison

Comparisons, it is said. are always

may one form an opinion of what ia

MAIL YOUR cHRisrMAs
GIFTS EARLY AZ POSSIBLE

The postofi1ce department Is making
desperate campaign to get the public
to mail its Christmas packages early.
OF course, there is some logic in this
effort. The mails in the last days Of
the Christmas season are overloaded
and 1t is well.nigh impossible for the
clerks either in the postof1ce or on
the trains to handle the mail and not
make mistakes or cause delays.
Packages intended for Christmas
presents may be mailed early and
marked not to be opened until Christ.
mas. It is true that this takes much
of the spirit out Of the matter and de.
stroys all the delights of receiving
the gifts just on the eve Of the day
itself. But Christmas has been so COM
mercialized of late years that nothing
of the old spirit remains. It is large
ly now trade of gifts-a trade en-
tirely because of obligations. 1t does
not, therefore, hurt so much to have
the soul squeezed out of the occasion
by relieving the burden Of those who
handle the mail.

Say Hanna

candidate for, United States senator

Governor Hanna makes no secret of

Recognition of the fact that Hanna
and McCummber are determined to
fight each other has SO far failed to

seemingly is satisfied to permit the
two to fight it out, with indications
that at least part of the progressives
are seeking to throw the strength of
their faction to McCumber.

by all followers of that section Of the

Hamilton, N. D., Nov. ~. = The
burning to death Of one of the two
children Of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Zeroa
and the internal injuring of the Other
SO badly that it succumbed the fol
lowing day, occurred here.
The fatality occurred in the destruc
ton by fire of the Zeroa home, and
in the absence of both the father and
mother. The children were aged three
and two years respectively, and their
sad ending is the elimination of an
uphill fight on the part Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Zeroa to get along in the world.
Mr.. Zeroa is In the employ of Thorn
as Fuller on his farm, and with his
family lived In a single room OF q

the Fuller home. It was while Zeroa
was on his way to Bathgate for Mrs

Mrs. Fuller, that the house caught
fire from some unknown cause and

full view of the Greek situation has
been succeeded by something in the
nature of reaction and the prevail
ing opinion at the present time is that

Greece would concede readily all the

Although all the forecast and spec

entente minister's new note, embody-
ing the detailed demands of their gov
ernments that Greece guarantee Sc
curity and liberty of action to the
Franco-British troops on Greek soil,
continue to be optimistic, the latest

Gates that Greece has not yet defin-

MONEY MOST WISELY SPENT
Millions Expended In the Campaign
Against tuberculosis VIII Surely
Have lite Effect.

More than 20,500.000 was spent last
year In the campaign against tubercu-
losis in the United States. OF this
sum 66.S per cent was derived from
public funds, either federal. state.
county or municipal, and the remain
der was contributed by private philan-
thropy. These are some Of the in
teresting figures contained in the an
nual statistical statement Of the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis. made pub
lie recently. The statement is based
largely on actual reports received
from antituberculosis agencies To-
Gated throughout the country. but
where reports are not available. the
figures have been estimated.
Institutional care and treatment OF
consumptives in hospitals and sana-
toria makes up the largest share OF
the total expenditure. More than ST.
100000 was spent for this purpose,
with an additional $925,000 for 3pe-
oial treatment of tuberculosis insane
and prisoners. These figures include
not only the cost of maintenance, but
in some instances the cost Of construc-
ton Of institutions. Antituberculosis
associations spent the next largest
sum. amounting to little over $780,
600. Care of patients in dispensaries
and by visiting nurses cost almost as
much, approximately 100000. The
growth of the open-air school move
ment Is shown In the fact that last
year more than 100000 was spent for
this purpose. as against $4,000 ex-
pended five years ago. State and
city boards of health spent 100000
directly on tuberculosis work.
