The Toll of tuberculosis.

In the course of an address be-
fore the Tri-State Medical Asso.
citation, which closed its session
in Memphis last Thursday, DIR. j.
w. Laws, of Lincoln, New Mexi-
co, makes this staggering state
ment about the universal preva-
Alence and fatality of Tuberculosis.
If we could only wake up to the
importance of immediate activity
and the efficiency Of earnest and
scientific effort being made to pre-
vent the spread and lower the
death rate of this monstrous de-
stroyer of mankind, great and
vital aid would be brought to the
assistance of the medical world in
their unselfish effort to free the
people. We are not aroused as we
should be. Our sentiment in the
recognition of the laws OF health
is weak. We take things too
much as matter of course, and
allow the agencies Dlvinely placed
at our disposal for the betterment
of every condition to pass unim-
proved. The medical and scien-
tific world are straining every
nerve to conserve the best interests
of health and promote longevity,
bat the common people fail to ap-
preciate the investment, and to
nut their shoulders to the wheel of
sweeping progress that is being
made by them in discovery, and
the improvement moves slowly.
What we do do as compared to
what we could do, is about as one
to fve--a very poor showing in the
matter of interest.
Here is the findings of DIR. j.
w. Laws:
"We are appalled, at the slaught-
er Of the present European war.
Over million men killed. Yet
this is no more than the estimated
death rate from tuberculosis in
Europe yearly. In the United
States in 1906 the death rate from
this disease was $4,000, equaling
the combined death rate from ty-

for the mem bers. The association
is now shipping 80 dozen fresh
eggs every week.
A number of these egg selling
associations are doing good work
in the State, Without co-opera-
ting the farmers get only the mark
ct price for their eggs, whereas, by
shipping together as they are doing
they not only get more egg mon
ey' from the same number of hens,
but are encouraged to improve
their poultry and to use better
business methods on their farms.
Any information on organizing
these egg selling associations wi
be furnished by the Poultry D.
partment, Agricultural College,"

Do you think the world is all
against you? A little investiga-
ton might prove your accepted
position fallacious. You are sim
ply against yourself in your moody
sphere. There are many who would
gladly aid and encourage you, but
you won't let them get to you.
Your false impression has made
you unapproachable. The good
efforts of every man are worthy of
recognition. We have no doubt
you can find people in Water VAL
ley who are ready to say the world
is against them. Wonder if they
have tried to discover the truth of
the matter? They would be doing
themselves the greatest favor by
quietly sitting down and giving a
few moments to solid reflection
that they might get away from the
atmosphere by which they have
been poisoned, and which is ruin
ing their lives. No, boys, the
world is not against you. Many are
anxious to help you, and would if
they could get to you, but you
shun them on account of your
false conceptions. Do you want
to win out in your life work, then
treat everybody as if you thought
they liked you, and you will find
the hills easy to climb, and you
will also find your mental distem-
per will disappear.

Zeppelin Raids

TlEERE seem, to be quite an Ippreciablc differ
L ence of opinion regarding the effects Of the
German air raids against England Thus a few
days ago, the wireless dispatches quoted Arthur
J. Baltour the first lord of the British admiralty,
as stating that neither a soldier a sailor of
Great Britain had yet been killed wounded in
these raids and that in only one instance any
thng approaching military damage done by the
Zeppelns. On the other hand, at approximately
the same time, the leading German journals were
detailing the damage already inflicted upon Eng
land by the Zcppens and urging frequent
and greater raids.
The leaders Of the German propaganda call upon
the government to send the entire feet OF Ieppe-
lins to the heart Of England to create havoc and
rum that cannot soon be forgotten. Perhaps the
most fiery demand upon the government is printed
in the TaglisChe Rundschau.
Justice, every element of human justice" says
this paper, "demands the destruction of London
There is, in the whole world, no better target for
aerial attack than the city of London, that gigan-
tic, complex assemblage of lofty ancient ware
houses with their enormous stores Of all de Grip
tons and their inviting situation in narrow Streets
If only such raids can be repeated again and again
the result will be assured"
The Neu}te Nachrichten encourages its readers
by asserting that London already has been partial
ly destroyed by the Zeppelin raiders and decIar-
ing that the remainder is soon to 60.
"Our brave air heroes" says the paper ARE not
inspired by blind hatred or raging anger but a
solemn and religious awe at being the chosen in
struments of a divine wrath
when they see London breaking up in smoke
and fire they will live through thousand lives of
unreasonable JOY which all at home must envy.

At KumOgabatamura, near KyOto,
woodmen cut the trees that will fur

the coronation rites. This is the hall
in which the ceremony of the dedica-

ancestors spirits will be held. The
trees were cut down according to the
ancient Shinto rites which make this

Fifteen carts, attended by leading

costume of the woOdman and carrying
fans of the rising sun, will be used to
bring the timbers to the site for the
hall. The villagers win draw and push
these carts themselves, accompanying
their labOrs by the singing of the an
