Hopeful Sign.
That the war on tuberculosis pays
immediate dividends in human life
Is proved by a report of Dr. Bosley,
health commissioner of Baltimore. In
the monthly health bulletin for July
It Is shown that the number of deaths
from tuberculosis occurring in the city
was 92, as compared with 123 for the
same month last year. Dr. Bosley says
that he attributes the decrease in the
number of deaths to the educational
campaign that those interested in the
fight against the "white plague*’ are
making. “The interest of the publie
has been aroused.” he declares, “and
there is a general tendency on the
part of the people to heed the warn-
ings and to observe the hygienic rules
being promulgated.” In ten years, if
the present progress is kept up. Dr.
Bosley believes that tuberculosis will
be stamped out.

“If yo i'll go to a Umbered district,”

thirds of its length In the ground, sus-

from the top and leave It over night,
you should catch at least one coon,
and possibly three. The head of the
barrel must be removed and there
must still be traces of ooal oil In the

of the parsnip (there is nothing g coon
