Capulgn to Do Curried on AguiiiHl (lie Grout While Plague, The International Congress on Tu berculosis which Is to be held In Wash ington September 21 to October 12 meets every three years, and this Is the first time It nan come to this country. The last meeting was held In Paris, France, In 1905, and three years before that the gathering; took place In London. It is not likely that the congress will convene in the United States for a great many years as the honor of entertaining It Is rag rly sought by the countries abroad Preparations for the gathering are engaging the attention of every en lightened nation. The white plague is no respecter of ptrsons or of races It Is not limited to any quarter of the globe, and the common ground on which Europe, Asia and Africa and North and South America are meet ing, is thu belief that this disease may be brought under as complete control as smallpox, plague, yellow fever anil other Infectious diseases have been by wide-awake peoples. Committees of arrangements for the congress have been organized In every foreign coun try, and In every state In our own land. In every section, plans are be ing perfected for representation In the congress. A number of the foreign governments have already announced to the state department at Washing ton, the names of their official dele gates; while others have acquainted the secretary general of the congress with tholr plans for participation In the congress and In the great exhibi tion that will be held In connection with the gathering. The exhibition 'ond the congress are to be housed In the National Museum, adjoining the Smithsonian. Tho'exhlbltlon promises to be practically a world's fair on the subject of tuberuloHls. It will show what Is being done around the globe In the fight against tuberculosis, from Alaska down to the Cape of Good Hope, from the Steppes of northern ItuBsIa to the diamond fields of South Africa. Every Stuie Iteiiiwiitetl. Every state In the Union Is expected to he represented In some way at the congress. The governors of 40 states have authorized the secretaries of the state board of health, the heads of Institutions, or other officials, to ar range for participation In the gather ing. In a number of states, traveling exhibitions that show the conditions In the respective states, and the meas ures that have been taken to correct them, have been on view In the home states during the winter, and will be displayed In the exhibition at the con gress In Washington. In nearly all of the states that will be actively represented, the prepara tions for the congress have waked up the people to do something definite to Improve local conditions. In Mich igan, for Instance, where a partlcu larly aggressive campaign Is being carried on, they had a Tag Day re cently to raise funds to defray the expenses of the preventive work that Is to be done In Detroit. There Is great need for some place In which consumptives can be properly cared for, and the women of the city adopt ed the tuberculosis Tag Day Idea as a means of nalslng money to maintain visiting nurses and to establish a san atorium. The city officials were ppeedlly won to the women's way of thinking. They turned over the city government, for a whole day and the women had complete control of the situation. The men yielded graceful ly. Mayor Thompson issued a proc lamation setting aside June 2 as "Tu berculosis Charity Day." The Wlillo Death. The "Black Death" and the "Tel low Death" levied heavy tribute of life in times past, the mayor said, but tho people took warning and leorned to combat them successfully. Today It is the "White Denth" that Is making terrible ravages and that can be fought with as great success. The peoplo have taken alarm, he continued, and are banding together to make war upon It; and Detroit Is getting ready to do Its share. The mayor followed up his proclamation by giving Mrs. W. A. McGraw, the chairman of tho committee of women, a huge floral key to the city. Next a great mass meeting was held In the . Detroit Opera House. In preparation for the real tagging, the city was di stricted; some of the members of the commUteo with their associates were placed In charge of each station and sifh-statlon; and on Tag Day every body who came within hailing dis tance was held up for a contribution. Apparently nobody refused, and every man, woman and chld who ventured out on the street was "tagged" in the good of the cause. Something like JIB, 000 was turned over to the tag gers during the day, and this means that visiting nurses can "carry comfort to some of the sick consumptives in their own homes, and that a start, at least, has been made for a Sanatori um. ' Interest In -the International congress on tuberculosis Is not confined to phy sicians. Every phase of the scientific , study of tuberculosis as It affects hu man beings will be discussed by phy sicians, surgeons, and specialists in every field. But equally important places on the program have been as signed to the men and women who are taking some part In thanreventlve work that Is being carried on along social, economic, or industrial lines. There will also be a section of special Interest to veterinarians, and that will I discuss tuberculosis in animals and it relation to man. ItoosevcU IYewJdotrt, President Roosevelt has accepted the presidency of the congress and the governors of the states will serve as vice-presidents. Dr. Edward L. Tru- deau, of Saranac Lake, is the honor ary president. Dr. Trudeau has had tuberculosis himself for many years and over 30 years ago, when It first became apparent that he had the dls ease, Instead of composing himself to die, he went up to the Adirondacks, The out-door treatment was Just be ginning to be advocated by German specialists, and Dr. Trudeau tried It on himself. He passed on the gospel of the method to' others, and the great movement In this country In recen years, for the out-door treatment or tuberculosis, Is generally attributed to his initiative. It has been his InBpIra tlonal Influence in this direction tha has won for him the affectionate title of the "Father of the. Open Air Treat ment in America," MAIL SEHVICE ON IUVEH, Government Will Hednee Expense on Astoria-Portland Route.

Get rid of the Lard Habit Cottolene makes pies and pastry digestible; it makes crisp, flaky pie-crust the kind that will melt in your mouth rather than stick in the pit of your , stomach. There is no getting away from the fact that lard is the fat of the hog. There was a time in the olden days when lard was made from a particular part of the hog, the selected part it was called the "leaf" that is, the peritoneum; but, with the growth of the industry, lard is now thrown on the market made from fat from all portions of the hog, and lard, today, is not as good as the lard of years ago in fact it is even more indigestible and more unhealthy. Cottolene is a cleanly, vegetable product made from pure, refined cot ton seed oil. It makes food palatable, digestible and healthful. Cottolene is the purest and best shortening. It is not a substitute for lard, but an improvement upon lard or any other shortening. When you accept a substitute for Cottolene you are not getting your money's worth. Cottolene is preferable in more ways than one in purity, results and healthfulness. Nature's Gift from the Sunny South Sale Jul! Clearance i Lawns at Cost Parasols 33 1-3 per cent.
