FIuhtinu Tuberculosis,

tuberculosis is being vigorously
fought in Australia, for though the
percentage of deaths from tuberculosis
In Australia Is less than in most other
countries, the federal government Is
not unmindful of the fact that its pen.
sion list contains the names Of many
persons who are rendered physical
wrecks through the undermining influ.
ences of diseases of the respiratory
organs. A federal committee on the
causes of death and invalidity in the
commonwealth is conducting an inves-
tigation Of tuberculosis and means of
combating 1t. The figures for 1914,
when there were 1874 deaths from tu-
berculOsis, indicate that the disease is
most destructive In its effect between
the ages Of twenty-one and thirty-fve
years, as far as both are CON
cerned, but after this life period
deaths in male cases predominant.

Hunting at the Front.

France, and, with that strange disre.
gard of shell fire observable among
the wild life to be found on the west.
ern front, pheasants, p%artridges, rab-
bits and hares have increased to IN
extraordinary extent. No mans land
teens with game, while the marshes
beside a certain river (Which must be
nameless) are full of wild duck and
snipe. There are no shOtguns, and
service revolvers do not make good
shooting when fired at the flying birds
so the snipe and wild ducks are stalked
in wary style and shot sitting" The
sport of sniping snipe in the marshes
Is fraught with many dangers, and ii
requires a very ardent sportsman to
crawl through the reeds, amid the ever

but there fought a valiant and courag

death sounded the bugle call and he
like the whitening flower that bends
it's beautiful head, wrapping the drap-
cry of his couch about him, laid down
to pleasant dreams, and left forever
more the scenes of his struggles and
of his brilliant triumphs. a martyr to
his people in the discharge Of public
duty; and to add pathos to tragedy in
the final staging Of this drama
planned and Sconsummated by the
hand of Providence, as the silent and
respectful cortege accompanying the

ance that he had gone on a long jour

"In the death of Governor De Baca
his family and the state have sus-
tanned a great loss; a loss made doub-
ly sad because of the circumstances
under which it came; that merciful
Providence, however, that eternally
watches over the destinies Of men,
and which ordains all things for the
best, had previously secured the state
and its many interests against that
law, by providing as the successor of
the dead governor, a man whose wis
dom and patriotism we can all safely
and confidently rely. And while that
same Providence will not for n in
slant lose sight of the disconsolate
and bereaved widow, or of the help
less infant children left behind to
mourn the loss Of a kind husband and
loving father, it is gratifying to know
that the worthy representatives of
the state, now in session in this city,
have taken the necessary measures
to protect that interesting family
against want; that is well and most
appropriately done. The state of New
Mexico is too great, too proud to see
the widow and theSinfant children of
any one of its governors suffer want
and privations.

state of New Mexico is as great and
as proud as any other state, let it also
be equally grateful to its great people;
