GAIN ON TUBERCULOSIS
AS SHOWN BY REPORT

According to a Census Bureau re-
port, just issued, the death rate in
the United States in 1913 was about
one fifth of / per cent. greater than
in the year before, but for the same
year tire deaths from tuberculosis
dropped from 1875 in the 100000
to 1875. That is to say, the gem
eral death rate rose a little, while
the rate from tuberculosis fell per-
ceptibly in the same period. Tuber-
culosis is the disease which has at
tracted the greatest amount of pub
lie attention, and the one against
which preventive measures have
been most vigorous of late years.
The people understand the danger,
know something about how to avoid
it, and are treating the prevention
of the disease as a public problem
The figures which the Census Blu
reau gives are evidence that they are
succeeding and it should give new
courage to the fight not only against
tuberculosis, but against preventa-
BILE disease of all kinds.-[St. Louis
Republic.

CHRISTIANS IN DROvtS
MASSACREO BY TURKS
And Thousands Are in Danger
as Result OF Holy War
in Persia.

Tabriz, Persia, Wednesday, March
81, via Petrograd and London, April
Preceding the re-occupation by
the Russians of Salmac Plains, In
Azerbaiian province northwest of
Urumiah, hundreds of native Chris
tians were rounded up by the Turks
in the village of Haftdewan and
massacred. Many of these were
searched out from the homes OF
friendly Mohammedans, who tried
to hide them.
The Russians on entering the viii
lage found 72O bodies, mostly nak-
ed and mutilated. The recovery of
bodies from wells, pools and bitches
and their burial kept 800 men busy
for three days.
The wailing of women intensified
the horror of the scene. Surviving
widows who were able to identify
the bodies of their husbands insist
ed upon digging graves and burying
the bodies. Some of the victims
had been shot. In other cases they
were bound to ladders and 'their
heads, protruding through, we're
hacked off. Eyes were gouged out
and limbs chopped off.
A general massacre of the 10000
or $1,000 Christians remaining in
Urumiah is expected. unless it
should be averted by orders from
Constantinople.
Verbal messages from Urumiah
confirm earlier reports that more
than 500 persons already have been
killed in that neighborhood. and
that more than 1000 have died of
disease. These messages also con-
firm the reports of the maltreatment
of the Rev. DR.. +. T. Allen, an
American missionary at Urumiah.

At Kokomo, Indiana, few days
ago the superintendent of the
schools held a spelling contest. Ev-
cry person of the city was eligible
and six hundred took the test. OF
that number only fifty-two made a
perfect score.
Newspaper men, doctors, lawyers
merchants, teachers and scholars
submitted lists of twenty words
each. and from that total twenty
words We're selected. The complete
list with the number of times each
word was misspelled, is as follows:
Miscellaneous, 364; calendar. 1874;
parallel, 273; privilege. go; super
intendent. 24S; principle, 242;
niece, 22S; lose, 201; separate, 1885,;
disappoint, NV; disease. 1874; prin-
cipal, 142: necessary. 1877; business,
1870; relieve, 1876; receive, 100; tru-
ly. So; government, 81; grammar,
10; believe, 73.
One woman, who made a perfect
score, had been a servant for sixty
three years and had only eight
weeks schooling. A county official,
who had been in business all his
life, missed every word. Another
man only got one right. One wom-
an missed all but three.
Here are the words, arranged in
the form of two sentences. Hand
this to a friend, ask him to dictate
the sentence to you, write down
the words and see how many you
misspell:
THE privilege of separating nine
ty miscellaneous calendars, arrang-
ed in two parallel lines, was against
the principles of the superintendent.
so his niece, not to disappoint the
nor cause it to lose
business, removed the principal cal
endars and thus relieved her uncle
of a strain which might have
brought on a disease. Then she be-
lieved it had become truly necessary
for her to receive her instruction in
grammar"

O TRUTH AND PARADOX. @
. @ o O o o o . o O o Q O o O

Most fanatics, cranks and mad
men" says Rev. DR.. Frank Crane. in
his new work. Footnotes to Life.
ARE those who are unable to under
stand a paradox. Every truth has
its opposite, which is also true. San
ity consists in understanding this;
insanity is falling to see 1t.
Workable. everyday truth is
made up of two or more contradic-
tions. The true doctrine is always
a balance
What we call Orthodoxy has out
lived the Heresies, because Orthodoxy
as a rule dares to retain the mys-
terry of opposing truths, while Here
sy as a rule has been too logical,
and becomes mad with clearness.
For instance, the truth lies
not in Fate determination, predes-
tination) nor in Free VIII, but in
both.
MAN is not a Spirit nor a Brute;
he is both. Whoever excludes who'll
ly the one or the other from his
idea of man, is not so much untrue
as he is crazy.
$50 the religious fanatics on the
one hand and the atheists on the
other; the temperance wild men,
and the drunkards; and all those
who swing to extremes. are illustra-
tons of the rule that sanity is
balance and not a hard certainty.
There are a large number of
truths says Pascal. that seem re-
pugnant and contrary yet which
subsist together in an admirable or
der. The source of all religious err
rors is the exclusion of one or an
other of these truths.

Mosquitoes at North Pole.

The presence of mosquitoes in
myriads within the bare, uninhabited
Arctic circle is surely in some de-

bloodsucker, but in the unvisited

of strict necessity vegetarian. A

are furnished with impervious feath-

GREAT DAY FOR
SUNDAY SCHOOLS
In Kentucky-April rs
Has Been Selected AS
"GO-TO-SUNDAY- SCHOOL DAY
Last Year More Than 60O,-
900 Attended Sunday
School On May 3.
MUCH INTEREST IN THE WORK

Last year the Kentucky Sunday
School Association, which represents
all of the Sunday Schools of the
State, about 1000 in number, with
an average attendance of nearly
100000. appointed May 3 as aState-
Wide "Go-to-Sunday-School Day,
when an effort was made to secure
100000 people in the Sunday
Schools of the State for that day.
This was the first time such a State
wide movement had been attempted
by any State.
Gov. Jas. B. McCreary. Governor
Of Kentucky, issued a proclamation
calling everybody to Sunday School
for that day. This was the first
time any Governor had ever issued
such a proclamation. In this proc
lamation the Governor said. THE
supreme need in Kentucky to-day is
that the forces which make for
character and christianity shall con-
troll the forces which make for intel
ligence and patriotism, and one of
the greatest forces which make for
character and christianity is the
Sunday School" He then urged all
Kentuckians and visitors in the
State to attend the Sunday Schools
in the church of their choice on that
day that they might give encourage
ment and honor to those who teach
in these schools, that they might see
the work that is being done and
that they might in this service wor-
ship their God.
President Wilson also sent tel
egram to the association endorsing
the movement, saying in part, 1.-THE
Sunday School lesson of to-day is
the code of morals of tomorrow"
Every county in Kentucky was
organized in this work and 100
voluntary workers took part in Wis
iting Sunday Schools and the larg-
est enthusiasm developed every
where.
Many cities and towns made COM
plete visitation of all people in the
towns and country round about.
Banners were placed across streets.
Parades were held. Special invita-
tions given to every home. Inter
esting programs were prepared for
the occasion. the Kentucky Sunday
School Association prepared and is
sued to all Sunday Schools an order
or service. Many Sunday Schools
used automobiles, buggies and all
kinds of vehicles on that day in
getting people to the services. The
result was that the number who at
tended the Sunday Schools that day
exceeded 100000 white people and
over $4,000 colored people.
Encouraged by the success of the
effort last year, the Kentucky Sun
day School Association has appoint
ed April %, this year as the second
"Go-to-Sunday School Day." and al
ready extensive preparations are be-
ing made and plans mapped out to
reach 100000.
All of the newspapers of the State
rendered valuable assistance last
year and are entering heartily into
the plans this year.

President John X. Tener Of the Ma
