A DOZEN petty kingdoms, each

ways existed and fought together,
and OF course they always would.
But one man dreamed OF something
different. He dreamed that it might
be possible to weld the warning Italian
Kingdoms into united Italy. His
name was Mazzini. an heavens

Miss Estrilla heave long sigh; heard
her settle herself against the, pillow

But Rosalie did not proceed directly
along the road Of treacheries which
she was travelling. Victoria went away

DISEASE ON THE DECREASE
Association for the Study and Proven.
tion Of Tuberculosis Has Good
Reason to Be Proud.

While the latest report of the bu.
reau of census shows that In 1914
tuberculosis caused over 10.5 per cent
of all deaths in the registration area
OF the United States, the National As.
sociation for the Study and Prevention
OF Tuberculosis points out in state.
ment that the death rate from this
disease is steadily decreasing, having
declined from 200.7 per 100000 popula.
tion in 1904 to 1868 in 1914. This
would indicate, the association claims,
that the antituberculosis movement or.
ganized in the last ten years is hav.
ing marked effect on the mortality
OF tuberculosis, especially since the
death rate from this disease seems to
be declining more rapidly than the
general death rate from all causes.
Commenting on this decrease in the
rate from tuberculosis, the bureau Of
the census says: "As a result of a
more general understanding of the
laws of health, the importance of fresh
air, etc. due in part, no doubt, to the
efforts of the various societies for the
prevention of tuberculosis, there has
been most marked and gratifying
decrease during recent years in the
mortality from this scourge of civili
zation. In only decade-from 1904
to 1914-the death rate from tubercu.
losis in all its forms fell from 2OO7
to 146.s per 100000, the decline being
continuous from year to year. This
