ton, saying that the correspondence

a would speak for itself.

A novel method of skimming all
the cream from milk contained in a
bottle or like vessel is to use a large
round disk of rubber which takes a
slightly concave shape, it being hung
upon three light aluminium rods or
wires. Slipping the disk in edgewise
and below the surface, it then takes
the fiat position and can be drawn out
with all the cream.

What TubereuIo,I. cont.

It 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
we're not suffering from the disease.
To conquer this enemy of the human
race more than s20.000.OOO 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
