THE TUBERCULOSIS FIGHT.

Organization of all of the working
men and women of the United States,
including the systematic collection Of
funds from both employers and en-
pIoyes for local anti-tuberculosis cam

issued by The National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tubercu-

United States to organize for effective
service in the anti-tuberculosis cam

would comprehend the following fea-

senting employers and employees
closely allied with the local anti-tu-

The organization will provide for the
establishment of tuberculosis fund

be used for the relief of tuberculous
workers and their families by free

employees. Employers will be urged
in all cases to duplicate the joint col
lections of employees. The collections
will not be tax or assessment, and
will constitute a special tuberculosis
fund in addition to those of regular
benefit societies.
80 A systematic campaign for
medical examination of ali workers at
yearly or more frequent intervals.
"a The appointment of special
committees to give relief to fellow
workers and their families suffering
from tuberculosis from the funds col

where a fund is started who develops
tuberculosis will be cared for.

zation.

about occupational mortality from tu-
berculosis.
Every anti-tuberculcsis association

use this report as a basis for organ

of cooperation of workers in the anti

There is frequently a good deal of

Tell a man that he looks good and
he probably will reply that he feels
tough.
There is so much sympathy it may
not be strange that a good deal of it is
misplaced.
There are usually plenty of warn

Sometimes a man knows the risk he

from it.

The pessimist is a man who re-

Fight your own battles. The fell

take more than that
The man who is satisfied to wait

to pick it out of the discard.
It shouldn't take a fruit grower to

Misery loves company, which may
explain why some people are never so
happy as when they are alone.

..MY KANSAS,


OF all the states l love thee best,
My Kansas of the sunny west.
My heart doth sing when L behold,
Thy corn and wheat fields spreading gold.
TO all the world thy giories yield;
keaped from thy golden harvest field.
Is there a state, promised land,
Which doth the tillers toll demandf
The wondrous riches of thy soil,
Shall gladden. all who humbly toll.

OF all the states l love thee best,
NY Kansas of the golden west
The Stars and Stripes both near and far,
Shal wave on high our Kansas Star.
With all the states thou hast been blest,
Ny Kansas of the sunny west.
A state for children and for youth,
To grow to manhood and to truth.
Grand State how nobly. thou dost fight,
To keep the temperance lid down tight,
In thee no more the still shall thrive,
The serpent from thy Eden drive.
That he no more might creep thy soil
And reap the harvests from our toll
CHORUS.
With all the states our gratefulness,
To Him who doth our nation bless,
In songs of praise; in hymns divine,
Our liberty shall be sublime.
Our flags proclaims her nation free
Inspiring hearts in unity.
Let Freedom reign forevermore,
Peace and goodwill from shore to shore,
So for "Old Glory" here's toast
With grateful thanks and not boast.

Things Worth Knowing.

Place Pieces of Macaroni upright
in holes of the top crust of a berry
pie, to allow steam to escape and pre-
vent from running over.
To Clean Windows which are
smoked, or grimy looking, rub them
with a cloth moistened in wood alco-
hol. then polish with another cloth.
This is much better than water.
When Making Sash Curtains, sew
Battenberg rings at the top, placing
them at equal distances, to run the
rod through. The rings look so much
neater and prettier than the ruffled

Household Hints
Canning and Preserving.

To Scald Tomatoes to Can.-Put on
gallon Cor less) of water to boil
When boiling drop in a few tomatoes
for a second or two. Use perforated
skinner to take out and drop in cold
water at once to stop scaldfng. Can
soon scald a bushel or two. So much
better than pouring boiling water over
a quantity, as some scald too much
and others not enough. Have water
or five.
Pineapple Syrup.-When canning
pineapples, do not throw away the
eyes and core. Chop them fine, cover
with water and boil about ten min
utes and strain. Add sugar to taste
to the juice thus extracted and boil
for a few minutes. This makes a de-
licious syrup for use with sherbet,
fruit sponge or sauces for puddings.
