It kills in the United States annual ly over 150,000 people. Consump tion is the cause of one death out of every four deaths that occur between the ages of 20 and 50. That is, the reader has abotit 25 percent of the chances that he will die from consumption, against bim. It kills most of its victims in the prime of lifebe tweeh the ages of 20 and 30. Nearly as many die of this same disease between 30 and 40. No age, however, is exempt, from the mere infant to the centenari an. The total loss to the citizens of the United States, in cold dollars and cents, has been estimated-at $1,500,000,000 each year,. The average annual loss to every citi zens in this State is approximate ly $15.00. This does not, and can not. fake into account the value of the anguish, agony and suffer ing caused. And yet 'consump tion is always preventable. It is also curable if .-taken early. Is this matter worth considering? I' v; 'ttjlt CONSUMPTION IS. , Consumption is a disease usual ly chronic, caused by germs too mall to be seen. Scientists tell us it ia a yerm disease, usually cauaep oy a growui m tne lungs, or less commonly in other parts of the body, of fninuite fungus, plant, or germ, called, the Tuber cle bacillus. This olantlike srerm kills the tissues 'around it and spreads through the whole lung, till finally it kills the person in whom it grows. It is now known that the germ gets into the body of almost every one. (However, they do not grow easily in ' the human body, and many of- these germs are killed at once' by the tissues. Others lie there inact ive for a long time and do not develop into the real disease un til by some chance the resistance of the bodv is lowered enough for them to begin to grow. Re member, a thoroughly healthy body is not a favorable growing place for germs of consumption On the ether hand, overwork, damp, dark, dirty homes or work places, bad or scanty food, late hours, certain sickneas,- such as grpp, measles, whooping-cough, pneumonia or typhoid fever, and especially drinking and dissipa tion, weaken the body and give the geraw a good opportunity to develop. In bodies thus weak ehed consumption - flourish and, if these bodies are not ' strength- proper food, proper care, fresh air and rest, the disease will ad vance, usualy slowly and gradu ally, so that it takes from two to ten years to kill the patient; while in the rarer galloping form it kil'i in from six weeks to eight weeks. Consumption is really a battle of life and death between the disease germs which have got ten into the body and ' the cells which make up the body. If these cells are well nourished and car ed for, they will win out, and kill the germ; if not, the germ will win out and produce the pa tients death. '-' jj ' .' SOURCE OF CONSUMPTION. ' , The germs of consumption can only come from' some one -that has ; consumption. They f are found in the spit, and the amah droplets coughed up and sneezed outin kflnely divided form. This spit becomes dry and is takeh iitt to.the loungs in the form' of 3u'st or it is carried to our food by fli es. The finely divided particles may be breathed into the lungs directly. If there were no con-' sumptive spit or discharges for a generation there would be no more consumptives. Therefore, if we destroy all spit and other discharges, the disease will be prevented. Fire, sunlight, sani tary priveys. sewers and disin fectants are the best agents for this purporse. If you are a con sumptive, do not transmit the disease to your friends or neigh bors. If you are not a consumpt ive, protect your self by keeping in perfect health, '. - n . , y- i i SJ i i i - Birds' Nests Sttrtel With fteecli Leaies. Statesville Landmark. .Mr. J. Mel. Clark, ofFallstown township, came to town Wednes day to "buy his Christmas." Mr. Clark aiways has something' m teresting to show or to tell about the birds or the "wild creeturs" of field and wood, and this time he exhibited three laat season's bird nests. All of these nests had been started with beech leaves and then neatly woven with grass. Mr. Clark says a certain variety of bird always starts its nest with beech leaves and will start it in no other way. He didn't know the name of these species of bird and wanted The Landmark to inquire of Col Wade Harris, of the Charlotte Chronicle, Mr Clark'; .was as aured that ah editor who didrt know that a fox could climb a tree had no knowledge of birds or birds1 nests at least none to spare and Mr. Clark was Bent to' Mr. R. B. McLaughlin, who knows about such things. Mr. McLaughlin says the bird is the yellow-breasted chat While Mr. Clark didn't know the name of the birds he says they use beech leaves as a protection from lightning, for in all his life he never knew a beech treeto be struck bv lightning.

At length the high priest enters, and is received with' devout reverence by the others. He mounts a dais in the middle of the church (there are no seats) and all the people gather around him. .The lesser priests take off his more sombre garments one bv one, and array him in tunic and breastplate and collar of gold, and wristlets and outer garments, stiff with gold and iewewls. A jeweled crown is put upon his head and a sceptre in his hand., each garment and article being kissed reverently before it is put on. Other . priests walk up and down from the Holy of Holies, into which no woman is allowed to enter, to tile dais on which the chief priest stand?, while they swing censers filled with fragrant; incense. Occasionally the chief officiating priest bless es the other priests or the audi ence with, his outstretched fin gers, but he says no word, stand ing for the inost part like a gold en image, motionless and world less. At length the attendants bring him three - candles, united at top into a, single flame, symbol of the Holy Trinity, and these he waves right and left, before and behind; .toward the audience pnil everyaiei saying never ' 'a word.

Clark, D. D.. LL D.. in The Christian Herald. Good Nature Versus the Groucb. Exchange. A Noble without the ready smile is like a picnic without sun shine, sometimes Mature may get obstinate and interfere with the picnic, but a Noble should never permit a transitory feeling to keep him from being the good fellow he is supposed to be, es pecially when necessity requires, And; ; jn this, smile business, there is' no need to overdo it A grinning idiot is worse than the man who playfully rocks the boat. A smile that doesn't oome from the heart is about on a par with the grimace of an ape or the hollow noise emitted by hyena. If the smile is not spon taneous, dop't try one. It Is not 'i difficult matter, how ever, to cultivate good nature. and the niore you keep at it, the better you like it The best thing in the world to fill the void when you drop the grouch, is the essence of good fellowship that will take its place. Nobody loves a grouch ! ; There are many good things in this world, and it is evident that they, were meant to be enjoyed. The optimists, the good-natured fellow, and the man with ; the sunny smile, are the ones 'who reap the harvest .and they are glad to have others share their pleasures. , Which is, the better, to be bL;L8 grouch, or a man with iV a well-developed heart who .can give a real . smile and accompany it with a real handshake? . , " ; fes!JIMI FrlcsiSIi.

Tbe Cry of Ao Orphan tblld To u di es tbe Real Heart of Kan Quickly. There is no cry that touches the real heart of a real man quicker than the cry of an 6r- phan a helpless and homeless child. The ear of the lamented John H. Mills heard it and it warmed his great heart so that he gave his time, his talent, bis life to the care and training, of orphan children. It is the basis of much of the charity of secret societies and of churches. We have in North Carolina a number of established orphan homes, and so far as we know they are all doing what they can in their own way, to furnish food, shelter, raiment and trairing to helpless, fatherless and motherless chil dren. Humanity's great heart commends their work and bids them Godspeed. We are reminded to make these reflections by the report just made of another institution, not strictly speaking, an orphanage, but what its name indicates, the North Carolina Children's Home Society, whose methods are dif ferent from the institutional or phanage, but none the less ap prove by thoughtful people whose faith is unshaken in the most sacred of all institutions the homfl. ; The directness and economy of the plan commends itself to all who investigate It By its methods helpless babies and little tots, outcast waifs hut with souls to save or to be lost are collected and homes provided for them with warm hearted, Christian people. The society receives children ranging in age from infancy to 15 yeara and provides homes for them. The work of this society was begun in North Carolina, Sep-. tember 15. 1903. under the su perintendency of William B. Streeter, who is yet at the head! of the work. The report refer red to "shows a total of 1,161 homeless children provided for to May 31, 1911 during the sev en and three-fourths years, at a total cost from the beginning of $55,210.80. This is a per capita cost from the beginning of $47. 56. During the past two months. June and July 82 new ; casea have been handled, a 50 per cent larger number than for any sim ilar period heretofore. ' The statement is so plain and concise that it easily carries its own comment nearly 1,200 chil dren furnished with homes at a cost of less than $50 each during a total of almost eight years. That is supplement work if such you choose to call it to the institu tional orphanages of no mean proportions at a per capita cost that leaves no good reason why there should not be voluntary contributions to the society suffi cient to provide for every home less, helpless and loveless waif within our borders.
