Annual Loss in America From Tuber
culosis 13 Three Fourths Value of
Entiro Wheat Crop.
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallis, Ore., Nov. 20.
"The farmer ordinarily gives far
more attention to the heaUh of his
stock than to that of himself and
family," said Prof. T. D. lieckwith,
of the bacteriology department of
the Oregon Agricultural College,
in speaking of the course on rural
hygiene, to bo inaugurated this win
ter during the short course.
"The point that the health of the
people may he reckoned in dollars
and cents to the community escapes
the average citizen in his mad
scramble for nioro evident wealth,'
he continued. "For example, it is
counted that the annual loss to the
United States through human tuber
culosis amounts to $600,000,000,
which is approximately three-fourths
the value of the entire wheat crop of
the country.
Due to Ignorance.
"fins immense annual loss, about
75 per cent of whiehli is preventable,
is due solely to carelessness, and ig
norance of the most rudimentary
rules of life mid health. Of vastly
greater importance than the money
loss is the pain and suffering, most
of which can bo prevented by a lit
tle care mil knowledge."
The short conrso lectures, which
will be illustrated with stercoplicon
views, will cover such subjects as
water supply (espeei ally from wells),
their location and construction as to
health; sanitary methods of sewage
disposal, the use and abuse of septic
tanks; transmission of disease, such
as tuberculosis and typhoid; (lies and
germ carrying; cause of colds and
grip, and other epidemics.
States Geological Survey as having
its greatest use iu the manufacture
of certain glasses to which it gives a
red color and in coloring enameled
ware red. It is used to overcome the
natural green color of ordinary glass
and also in making glass of a dis
tinct red color, such as that used ou
railroads for signal lights. Selenium
has the peculiar property of being a
very poor conductor of electricity in
the dark and a fairly good conductor
in the light, and a number of elec
trical inventions depend on this pe
culiarity. It has been used in exper
iments in telephoning along a ray of
light, and for transmitting sounds
anil photographs from one place to
another by means of a telephone or
telegraph wire.

The cordial appreciation, and readiness to take advantage when
opportunity presents itself, compels us to continue the Special Sale of
Eiler's Pianos, for another Ten Days. Think of saving in actual cash
from $75.00 to $2.30.00, added to the most liberal allowance on your old
piano, if you have one. What an unhappy world this would be if it
were not for music, and it is an acknowledged fact, that the piano lias
done more to brighten, educate and refine the growing generation than
any one thing the world and science has ever produced. A long, cold
winter's evening may readily pass unnoticed while your wife or daugh
ter plays some of the beautiful old songs on a clear, mellow, sweet
toned piano for you. Besides, don't you think you owe it to your family
to give them whatever pleasure you can, within reason? Any man can
earn a living, but it is the man who goes ahead, who realizes and takes
advantage of an opportunity when he sees it, who invests in reliable
articles, bought from reliable firms, to whom is given the respect and
credit for being a clear-headed business man or woman.
Come in and let us prove to you that your greatest opportunity to
buy a guaranteed high-grade piano at a cash saving of from 25 per cent
to 33 1-3 per cent is here.
Take advantage of it today.
