CLEVER BUSINESS MEN
have long ago shown the poor pol
icy of Indifference to dress, and
custom demands only a difference
frn style between business and
dress clothes. No man is over fas
tidious because he requires a
made-to-measure business suit." He
is merely a wide awake, energetic
man of affairs and appreciates ful
ly that he Is a gentleman and
wants to look it.

Traditionary error as to the aatur*

right care and un of the human
body, plus badly developed commun
ity lire. prtMat a duration alarm\ug
in Ita blgnesa and complexity. The
concrete reeult. In one direction, la
tuberculosis or consumption, which
la much more than a mere disease or
cause ot death. Rather la It the evi
dent* of Ignorance and filth-, neglect,
greed. It Is but. the penalty exacted
from bad llring conditions, the re
minder of precaution which ought to
be taken, and the warning of further
levies upon the Uvea and happiness
of thos<_who neglect or are neglect
ed.
To get _ rid of this chief among
| diseases and to solve century-old
problems are objects not to be at
tained by specifics either in medicine
or social welfare. Because of the Im
mensity and Intricacy of the under
taking, uaoal methods are being merer
and more adopted in an efTort to Ed
ucate and -awaken people concerning
the nature and significance of the
situation. Among these no agency
has been so thoroughly utilised by
the campaigners against tuberculosis
86 the traveling exhibition. Ameri
cans a/e said to be an "exposition
people." Not alone have they made
possible a long list of "International"
and "centennial" affairs of greater or
loss magnitude, but the less ambi
tious and specialised exhibition has
had a wide vogue. Art and educa
tion. business and industry, recre
ation and health have been duly and
repeated displayed. Frequently in
the course of a season Madison
Square Garden i? New York and the
Colloseum in Chicago have afforded
a more extensive and successful se
ries of desirable exhibits than moat
of the widely heralded expositions.
Tuberculosis, health and social
"welfare have had an Increasing share
in these localised exhibitions, but It
Is the "traveling" or movable exhibit
whiun Baa been cliimM pirwuiifiy
for the tuberculosis work. Corn, Just
common field corn, Is the only rival
of tuberculosis as a provoker of trav
eling exhibits, wblc'h In* the Central
West with experienced demonstrat
or#. Trained lectorer*~*nd abundant
illustrative material have added very
largely to the production of Amer
ica's distinctive cereal. With the pos
sibility of far less Immediate and
spectacular results, the traveling tu
berculosis exhibit works inversely,
seeking to restrict the production of
the deadly but minute plant organ
ism which is apparently native to all
climates and found in all lands.

Recently a member of Mr. Taft's
cabinet offered to the suffering
manses of this country the consola
tion' that "Even at prevailing prices
they lived better and more cheaply
than did Queen Elizabeth and her
household." This would have been
empty comfort If true; but the New
York Sun exhumes from the account
books of Henry Eighth, the father of
Queen Bess, the coat of a feast given
by that monarch at Holbein palace,
under the schedule of prices then ob
taining for certain articles of food,
and the figures show that the afore
said Cabinet officer drew on his imag

value of such work by comparing
