Success in methods employed have been so pronounced that the ob stacle of securing tuberculor hospit als, the principal weapon in the bat tle, has been entirely removed, and legislative bills creating hospital "nds by luxation are being passed :,, every .statf in the union.

Well, as the story goes, the Jew bankers wanted Henry to give them title to about everything he owned as security. , So Henry went back home and dug up the dough elsewhere, bought the railroad, and has been running his business ever since on anti-Jew money. Also he has been lambasting the almighty Jew ever since, with more or less en joyment to himself and to the amuse ment of a lot of other people, but to the annoyance and discomfiture of the Jew.

In the year 1924 alone, this drop in the death rate made a clear saving of 117,700 lives.

Before 1907 the rate for non-pulmonary tuberculosis was steadily rising." PARADOXICAL BUT TRUE "A bountiful crop of a valuable agricultural product means misfor tune rather than prosperity to .the producer these days," observes' fh? t'tnte Market Agent. "A half crop means more money and less labor. This fact is being vividly illustrated in the cotton localities of the south In 1920 cotton was well controlled by the selling agencies of the south, and the price went as high as 45 cents, This price encouraged greater pro duction and as a result in 1923 the price went down to 30 cents, and in 1025 five million bales were carried over in the hone of holding the mark et steady, and when this carry-over went onto the market this year with the big production of the year, trie market went to pieces with the glut and the price down to 13 cents.

Northern Pacific stewards are seldom "stumped," and, while the order was an unusual one the reindeer meat was secured by telegraph and served to the distin guished explorer before he left tha train. Reindeer meat is becoming more and more easily procurable with the development of the business of furn ishing it to large hotels in the East, it is said. The animals are being shipped via Seattle in increasing quantities. "Reindeer is commonly thought of as a wild creature of the frozen North," A. W. Thomson, superinten dent of Northern Pacific. diners said. "Contrary to this general opinion, the reindeer that is shipned to thi:i country is a domesticated animal raised especially for food purposes."

Here as I'sowhctv, to be a scout trooper is uppermost in the mind of everj hoy, and all that is needed to have a live, active Boy Scout troon in Athena, js a scoutmaster to take charge of it.
