HOW DO YOU SAY IT?
 By (. N. Lurie Common Errors in English and How to Avoid Them
SHALL" AND WILL"

A MONO the most common errors "A in the use of English, and one of the most difficult to avoid, is the con fusion of shall" and "will.' The rule is that in the first person, either sin. gular or plural, '$shail" must be used to indicate future action. For ex- ample, say .'I shall go to church to- morrow :" i've shall meet you there :" do not say twill go." twill meet" But if you desire to express determina- ton. use will; :" for example, "I will go and nothing shall prevent me-" i've will be oheyed."
 In the second and third persons the usage in regard to shall" and will iS exactly opposite 10 the usage in the first person. The verb twill" eX- presses the future and shall" is used to denote determination.
 An amusing case of misuse of the words will" and shall" is found in the story of the Frenehman who fell into a river and cried: T will drown, and RS one shall rescue mew
 The rule in regard to should" and would" is the same as that gc,oll jag the use of "s,..u an, -will."

His horse came over the plank, it gave way and down steed and rider plunged into the river The soldiers behind him could not stop their horses. and hun dreds tumbled into the water after their leader.
 Suddenly the sound of 8 bugle shrilled on the air and Ivan saw com ing toward him along the river bank the same Lord Raymond who had marched away two months before.
 Ivan told the lord how he had de feated the wicked earl and how the castle was now saved from any attack by the enemy.
 Well done, my iad!" cried the lord "You have done better than I could have with all my men. You must come to the castle and be part of my guard, so when you are a man you can be knight"
 So Ivan took up his abode at the castle Years afterward. when he was married to Adele and reigning over the surrounding land. he had great pillar of stone erected at the bridge to mara the spot where one ax defeat cd hundreds of men. Copyright,

ATOW that booze has ''gone gllia- l% mering through the dream Gt hings that were" it is interesting to investigate the alcoholic conditions lD DreamIand. "Where there ain't DO Tep Commandments and man can raise a hirSt."
 It is not too much to say tba1 tht situation there s positively shocking, md the drys ought to get busy al once the realm Of shadows. Old booze fighters, now reduced to taking theh ipple and consorting with their tAebT- lted associates in BreamlaRd aniS, nay gather what solace they can frcns he fact that oracles sud soothsayers .egard as of generally favorably omen lreams in which the late John Barley 'Orn conspicuously figures. And h nay be laid down as rule that II yoo ake your flicker" in dreams alone r won't hurt you. Tn fact, 1t will have just the contrary effect to taking Il ,ver real bar. To go into Dream and barroom-the only one now open and there, seeing old acquaintances, ay Whats yours, boys?' indicates, f everything is pleasant and conVlViat that you will s00n embark in some aeW speculation or business which will bt highly profitable. Should one of these dream-friends refuse to join you. de claring that he is on "the water wagon" you will soon meet aD osc friend and have long and pleasant hat with him. q
 To dream that you are drunk and have accumulated your jag frofn DreamIand booze indicates that riches and honors, now wholly unforeseen, are to come 10 you; probably tbro0gb making the acquaintance of map now unknown to you who will put you in the way of making your fortune. To the unmarried man 1t signifies that he is beloved by woman Of whom heI has, as yet, scarcely thought, and that she will make an excellent wife. But 10 dream that you have tasted no ll- quor and yet axe drunk is accounted q bad sign. You will soon commit some foolish action.
 If you dream that you got drunk On water you are going to boast of your rich relations, and of wealth which yCu to not possess. Also. to see an- other man drllnk means that you will do something foolish.
 It is bat fair to the oracle and sooth- savers to state that these dream sn- terpretations were expounded years and years before the dry amendment to the Constitution was thought of.

HOW IVAN WON

Y VAN was a poor boy, but very \ ambitious one. His father was q blacksmith. and when the great lords would come by in their armor 10 have their steeds shod. Ivan would sit by the forge and gaze in wonder at their handsome array.
 One day Lord Raymond rode up with his beautiful daughter accom- panying him on pony. Ivan ad- mired the young girl as she sat wait ing for her fathers horse to be shod.
 Have you heard the news. fatherY asked lvGn's mother of her husband the next morning al breakfast. Lord Raymond was last night called to the war by our king, and al noon today he and his GOO men will ride forth.
 But who will defend the castle if old Earl Edmond comes against 1t In
 q think there is small fear of that" replied the wife:
 So at noon the long line of prancing steeds, headed by the lord, rode down the road and was soon lost to sight.
 One September afternoon Ivan walked to the summit of hill. from which he could see the surrounding country for miles A fiickering light caught his eye. There was long pro- cession of men winding across the valley, and all were clad in glittering armor. They were keeping close to the shadow of the woods. but when they crossed the sunlit path their swords flashed back the light brightly. At the head rode huge man on a black horse and nearby another car ried a banner on which was a black eagle.
 .It is old Earl Edmond!' exclaimed Ivan. "He is coming to attack the lords castle in the absence of the owner"
 Then far below Ivan noticed that not far from the castle was large bridge, and below it rushed a mighty river
 "The earl will camp on this side of the big bridge this evening in the woods," said the boy aloud, And by morning will come over to take the castle. If the timbers holding 1t can be cut through tonight the wicked men will fall into the river
 With this he ran to his father s shop and got an ax. Within m hour he was at the bridge and had run to the other side, near the castle. Se- iecting one of the big, strong posts

National Tuberculosis Association Estimates That One Death in Eight
 Due to This Disease.

More destructive thsn war; claim. ing more victims annually than all industrial accidents: bringing sorrow and grief to more homes than any other contagious disease-this is the record of the great White Plague.
 The National Tuberculosis Associa. tion estimates that 115,0o0 out of every million active eases of tnber. culosis in the United States could be cured if facilities were provided for statement is of peculiar importance to Arkansas since more than 5000 deaths annually in this state are due to tuberculosis.
 In arriving at this conclusion, the National Tuberculosis Association es- cases of tuberculosis for every annual death in the United States On this basis, one-seyenth of the million liv- ing active cases would prove to be reasonably incipient Estlmates made by reliable authorities indicate that
 
 early in as high as 30 per cent of the eases. On this basis there are ap- proximately 115, ,000 curable con- sumptives in this country. In addi- ton, the National Association esti- mates that there are probably another 15O,O00 of the 1.00O000 that could be restored to s reasonable degree of working efficiency, and that a great deal of benefit could be given to the remaining cases if facilities were available for that purpose.
 The facilities needed, according to the National authorities estimates, in. clude dispensaries, visiting nurses, medical consultants, and travelling clinics for the early discovery and diagnosis of tuberculosis. In addition they include sanatoria, hospitals and facilities for home treatment of every case thus discovered. They also in clude adequate financing of boards of health with full time health officers in every community
 At the present time there are not half enough facilities in the country to provide for these needs. "The in- vestment of few million dollars in proper provision for the care Of the tuberculosis" says Dr. Charles J. Hat. field Managing Director of the Ma. tional Tuberculosis Association would produce very large returns to the .4..-,;Ct4l rcc-7c The c1+.l~ae would come not only in improved health, but in improved earning ca, pacity of hundreds of thousands of tuberculosis victims"

Says She Is More Grateful to Tanlac Than Words Can ss, for It Brought Her Health and Happiness

T am more grateful to Tanlac than words can express for it has given me health and happiness after twelve long years of suffering" was the statement made the other day by Mrs. Olivlne Pel- tier, No. 26 East Allen Street, Winooski, Vermont.
 T had been troubled so long with nervousness and sleepiessness that my housework was a drudgery and l got little pleasure out of life. My appetite left me entirely and at times l could AaBdly bear the sight of food and what little I did eat caused me severe suffer ing afterward. Gas would form on my stomach so badly that it affected my heart and thought had heart trouble.
 'I was so nervous l would jump at tho least unexpected noise and would drop everything I had in my hands. l rot SO weak and faint at times that l would have to catch hold of something to k4ep from falling over. My sleep was broken and restless and was ios- ing weight rapidly. I had little strength or energy and, as had tried all kinds of medicines without relief, had become very much discouraged over my condition
 sMy husband had been taking Tan lac and when I saw what wonderful results he was getting I decided to try lt myself and now I think as much of 3anlac as he does because it has helped ne the same way.
