That is practically what this city is doing in health matters It is time for the people to wake up! A health department that can do real constructive, cducative, health work would save tho city even in money many times what it would cost. It would take at least n year to find with fair accuracy the cost to the people of this city of preyentable illness. but will venture the estimate that it is not less than Sl per day per capita and if loss of earning and productive power were considered, the cost would approach $2 per day for each inhabi- tant. One cent per day per capita would reduce that cost 75 per cent within three years, if spent carefully by health department and with req sonable cooperation on the part of the community in general

early one morning to an enormous

my reason to be submerged BY the
horror Of my position.
Shortly after this episode another
prisoner was brought In and chained
near me. BY the dim torch light saw
that he was red Marian and could
scarcely await the departure Of his
guards to address him. As their re-
treating footsteps died away in the

much excited by the news of Helium's
princess and seemed quite positive
that she and Sofa could easily have
reached point Of safety from where
they left me. ''Deiah Thoris and Sofa

Presently the door commenced To
recede before me until it had sunk
into the wall fifty feet. then 1t stopped
and slid easily to the left, exposing
short. narrow corridor of concrete. at
the further end Of which was another
door, similar in every respect to the
one 1 had just passed. No one was
in sight, yet Immediately we passed
the first door it slid gently into place
behind us and receded rapidly to its
original position in the front wall OF
the building.
A second and a third door receded
before me and slipped to one side as
the first, before l reached large in
ner chamber where l found food and
drink set out upon a great stone table.
A voice directed me to satisfy my
hunger and to feed my calot, and
while was thus engaged my invisible
host put me through a severe and
searching cross-examination.
"YOur statements are most remark
able" said the voice, on concluding its
questioning, "but you are evidently
speaking the truth, and 1t is equally
evident that you are not Of BarsOom.

your internal organs and the shape
and size of your heart"

Then a door opened at the far side
of the chamber and a strange, dried
up. little mummy Of man came
toward me. He wore but single ar
ticle Of clothing or adornment, small
collar Of gold from which depended
upon his chest a great ornament as
large as a dinner plate set solid with
huge diamonds, except for the exact
center, which was occupied by a
strange stone. an inch In diameter,
that scintiflated nine different and dis
tinct rays; the seven colors Of our

which, to me, were new and nameless.
