than last year. It I at last possible
to perceive an Improvement In the

In Dr. G. F. fibrady' Judgment Isola
tion of tuberculosa patient la not neo
essary or desirable, providing ordinary
rare In method of life I exercised and
the destruction of the iputum I at
tended to. '
'It Is a easy for those of small
meanto enro for their consumptive
a for nny one else," sulci Dr. Shrady,
"unless they are too crowded and are
obliged to live In boles to which tha
light and air cannot hnre free access.
There are tenements, though, In every
big city In thl country, and many
mailer ones, too, I am sorry to say,
over the doors of which might well be
Inscribed, 'All ye who enter here lenrt
hope behind.' It I the desire of the
medical profession to euuente tile peo
ple, the clfy nnd the Stnte to do away
with these.
"Light Is one of the most remarkable
of all the remedial agents at h.nd for
the treatment of thl elms of disease.
FInscn, the Scandinavian, ha shown
this, through the thing. be ha accom
plished In the treatment of lupus with
those Invisible ray which are termed
ultrn-Tlolct.
"Lupus I not common In America,
though well known nnd dreaded on
the other side of the Atlantic. It Is a
form of tuberculosis, not of the lung,
but of the surface, ami Flnsen de
stroy It by subjecting hi pntlent to
tho purely chemical rnys. Ill rny
have not been made to penetrate deep
ly enough a yet, however, to be effi
cacious In tuberculosis of the lungs.
"Just .bow much progress can ba
made with similar treatment no one
knows a yet. In London and Paris, In
Berlin and Vienna, In Copenbagen and
New York, Investigators nre studying
the effect of the blue light nnd tho ultra-violet
ray under varying circum
stance. They are also experimenting
with various lenses nnd other media
through which to pass the light.
"There have been ninny experiment
with tho X-rays Jn fighting cancer, but
these have not been successful, except
In auperflclnl cases. Even then the
ray have not been of much greater.
If any, more benefit thnn the plan of
craping out the bed of tho nicer and
osing caustics.
"The knife still remains the last re
ort for well-developed cancer. Even
It falls when the disease Is of such long
standing as to allow thorough distri
bution of the disease through tho sys
tem. "There Is promise In the Immense ac
tivity now being displayed In the bac
teriological research. While It ha not
led to the discovery of remedies In a
great number of Instances, It has laid
bare tho causes of evcjMl disorder
to which tho flesh Is heir. In this way
It hn led the proferslon closer nnd
closer to the plan of assisting nature
In building up the power of resistance
and the adoption of the simplest treat
ment possible." New York Now.
WORDS OF WISDOM.
The best things eoft least.
Leniency is the law of love.
The dutiful are the beautiful.
Your strength is GoJ' call to er
vice. Man' progress reveals t!od' pur
pose. A hard head may go with a tender
heart.
He offends mercy who depends on
merit.
It is doing the right In the dark that
la alway bard.
The brave man la not afraid of being
called a coward.
The outer act 1 the gauge-class of
the Inner character.
There are no places for spectator .
In life's grand game.
Only the lnslgnl.lcant man count
anything a Insignificant.
Some people complain becauie It
cost an egg to get a chick.
Watching other Is often an attempt
to hide our own weaknesses.
The attempt to be a good fellow baa
often prevented being a good man.
The wind of word will not carry
the flying machine of pride over the
wai.s of repentance. Ram' Horn,
Logte of Adrertliln.
There are two way of looking at ad
vertising, say the Saginaw New, both
of them right Advertising hould ba
done during the dull time for the pur
pose of stirring up trade at that time,
and also for the sake of the benefit
which will come from being continually
before tbe public eye.
A man should just as quickly think
of stopping his advertisements in the
summer or in tbe dull time after the
holiday a be should, tblnk of closing
up bis store several month in tbe year
aud keeping it open only wbeu trade
would keep blm busy.
It doe not take people very long to
forget things, and 'if a store were
closed up four months or tbe advertis
ing stopped four months, a treat many
people would have forgotten that tbe
business wa in existence. Tbe other
view of advertising is that it ought to
be pushed during tbe busy time when
tbe people are ready to buy.
Advertising cannot be expected to
fell goods when people don't want
them, and it will be nuturany most ef
fective when It gives publicity to some
desirable article at Just tbe rifc'ht time.
To be Bine, advertising will sell any
thing, at any time, if the price be made
low enough aud tbe advertisement suf
ficiently attractive. Some lines of
goods can be forced, and some can
not, but even those which cannot be
forced should not be allowed to drop
jut of lsht. Keep tip your ad
vertising during the summer and you
will not uuly profit by It iu tha fall, but
you wnm.'tr taUe will also show a
ina koa .
