CHORAL CLUB TO MEET
MONDAY AT ARGO STUDIO.

There will be meeting of the
recently organized Choral club Hon
day evening at 1880 o'clock, at the
studio of Miss Helen Argo, in the
Times-Recorder building.
Members of the Choral club parti-
cipated the past week in the produc-
ton of the "Deestrick Skule," under
auspices of the Music Study club CT
Americas, and the usual weekly meet
ing was dispensed with last Monday.
Tomorrow night, however, it is the
hope of leading spirits in the de-
lightful assembly that full attend
arce will be present. 1t is proposed
to breach at the meeting oMnday
night a matter of universal interest
to vocalists here, and as the season
is already far advanced, it is thought
best to push rapidly whatever plans
may be agreed upon for Christmas
music to be produced under direction
of the club, as well as to decide upon
some definite policy of study and
progress.

Perhaps the most distressing feat ure about tuberculosis is The tact that so few people know they have II uHUi 1t has reached fairly adv anced stage. IT people would only realize the need for early examination and therefore early detection of the disease there would be fewer deaths from this maI- ady The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tubereu- losis has therefore issued a pamphlet written i'll simple language giving all that is to be known about ubereu losis. its prevention and cure This pamphlet is called What You Should Know About Tuberculosis and con sists of g prayers well printed.

 If you catch the disease, how can you find II out soon enough to cure it?
 Remember that this disease can be cured in the majority of cases f Il Is discovered early, whle if il is not found out until 1t k advanced t IS hard to cure it at all
