PHTHIsIs IS ON DECLINE
Dread DIsease May Be obIlterated In Another Decade If Decrease Con-
 tinues at Present Rate.

If tuberculosis shall continue to de crease in this country at the same rate as in the past half century, it will be obliterated in another decade. This is the opinion of Dr. Cleaveland Floyd, expressed at the Harvard Medical school. There are two conditions. how ever, which will prevent the complete obliteration of this lung disease at present, and these are poverty and lack of hygienic surroundings.
 Doctor Floyd said that almost every body has the germs of this disease in his system. but that he is able to resist their attack through living a healthy life and through the protection of na- ture.
 Inhalation and infection are the two common ways by which a person con- tracts tuberculosis. Children may get the germs in impure milk, but outdoor play prevents the spread. It often hap pens, however. that when people TO to work in shops or insanitary offices, or live in crowded rooms, the disease shows itself and gains foothold. That is why so many persons between the ages of nineteen and thirty-two ac Quire tuberculosis.

New Gun Shoots Both ways.

An army officer has invented gun which shoots both ways at the same time. The purpose of this arrange ment is not to fight the enemy in the front and the rear at once, but to elimi- nate the recoil, and thus to save the time required In bringing the gun back into position for a second shot. The force exerted by the exploding powder in any gun is equal in both directions, hence the recoil. or "kick." By having barrel open in both directions, by placing the charge of powder in the middle of the gun and by having pro- jectile of equal weight on each side of the powder charge, the gun itself Is not moved by the explosion. The projectile fired to the front is an ordi- nary explosive shell. The counterbal- ancing is a charge of fine shot of equal weight. The shot loses its velocity and falls harmlessly to the ground within a few feet of the gun.

"A FOOL AND HIS MONEY"
The World Is Better of When They Are Parted and the Cash Is in
 Pockets of Wise Man.

A fool and his money are soon part ed. That's right.
 The best thing that can happen to a fools money is to get in the pockets of a wise man. So don't shed tears. dear reader, when you hear that a Penns- grove man blows in" S15,000 in one day or spends S1000 for few extra suits of clothes, says Girard in the Philadelphia Ledger.
 When a spendthrift eats $S worth of terrapin and calls for more the money doesn't go down his throat. Bless you, no; because it goes to the hotel man, who scatters those 800 cents to the four winds.
 I hear the thoughtless sigh when they read about somebody's giving monkey dinner at Newport. But I ask you if getting rid of his money as fast as possible is not the very best thing which a monkey-dinner promoter could do with itf
 When a man or woman has not the sense to spend money wisely. why. the sooner and faster 1t goes the better for the rest of the world.
 The worst thing anybody can do with money is to lock 1t up. Wise ones make their cash work harder than any slave toiled on a cotton plantation.
 Even a slave had time to sleep, but a sensible man, no matter whether he have ten or ten million dollars, keeps 1t on the treadmill all day and all night and every day of the year.
 Hence your spendthrift when he or ders $500 worth of wine for a dinner, plus $1,0O0 worth of flowers. and hands the walters a $50 bill for a tip, is do- ing what? Merely transferring his cash from one treadmill where it is not needed to a score of different mills where 1t is needed.
 So instead of reviling these lavish sounds say to them "God bless you"

Frank H. Simonds, the military ex-
pert, says the Allies are not respon>
sible for the Italian defeat. The
blame is on the Italians themselves,
who advanced their forces out of
proportion with their lines of COM
munication, and did not guard against
the Teuton offensive, although that
was the thing they most had to fear.
He thinks that had the Allies sent a
large force of men and guns to that
line, they would only have added to
the disaster. When the Teutons made
their final attack hundreds of Ital-
ian guns were silent because they had
no shells.
