Men. Bible Glass at Y. M. c. A.

The weekly Bible class session at the Y. M. c. A. Wednesday evening was an interesting one. The topic was Ths Kingdom of God. Some of the points brought out4were the following: That the Kingdom of God comes without blare Of etrumpets. without observation ofter- times. While it is true that the kingdom of God is within you, 1t is also true that theresis to be Kingdom of God to which
 the saved will be welcomed, and where Jesus will reign as king. The growth of
 the Kingdom in this world is gradual. but 1t is growing surely and substantial
 ly. The Kingdom is not to be established
 by force, except by the force of love. and all attempts to establish t otherwise are futile. The thief on the cross evidently believed that Jesus would finally reign when he said < Lord remember me when Thou cornest in 1.-the Kingdom" While all other kingdoms will eventually fail and fall; the Kingdom of God is to b@ an everlasting kingdom, and nothing can thwart its coming and permanency.

 Failure to- finance anti-tuberculosis work means the indefinite postponement of the conquest of a preventaible disease that now kills 15e. 900 persons a year in our. own country. A hundred and fifty thousand, that's about the population oi the city Of New Haven. and twice the number ot Americans who died. in tho world war.

There have al- SO been Under the care of various physicians cases which had all the symp- toms of grip and which have not shown typical typnoid indications.
 Late Wednesday evening two more typhoid fever cases in about the same To- cality as the others were reported, mak- ing total of five. These last patients have been Ill about ten days.
 The health rfficefs say that it must be borne in mind that it is extremely diffi- cult to make . positive diagnosis of ty- phoid fever Inside of ten days to two weeks of the outset of the disease. An investigation conducted by the health officers 7vith the cooperation of Dr. W. K. Jingley, led the officers say. to the milk farm of George Beebe on the | Scotland road. Mir. Beebe has been SUD- plying milk to all the families in which l typhoid has sppsared.

 MT. Beebe has been ordered to discon tinue delivery of milk pending furthe, investigation. Moot of the typhoid pa,
