NOME. ALASKA, DEC. 33, 1815.
iiie ucLuui bengiu united frcui the
»iue spieuu campaign against tuber
culosis cameu on in me united state
ana uanaua uur.ng tue past ten or tit -
teen years, wan© uisciused annually by
a siua.i but consistent lowering of tile
uea-h rate, aie new commencing to
mow at tnelr tun va.uo tnough com
pilations 01 s.atiotlcs coveting tne pas.
ue-aue. In tne case of L'anaua the re
suns have far exceeded the expecta
tions as the diminishing death rate has |
now teacned the point where it may b.
so.a to t,avc fatten on moie than one-j
to-i t,i of wiiiit it was h decade and a
half ago, at which time tne anti-tub- j
ercuiosis campaign was launched b> |
n.on government. Wnile tliei
has also been a marked falling oft in
the death rate occasioned by this fell
diseaso in the United States it has
not been reduced to the same extent
as that of Canada, owing probably to
the lnhibitlve conditions obtaining In
many of our large cities and also to a
general lack of knowledge of precau*
lionary measures on the part of the
people.
Also the American campaign has
been lacking in the matter of system
through having been carried on by a
number of widely separated leagues
and societies with the result that thei
work of educating the public to guard
against the disease has been less well i
done than has been the case In Cana-i
da w'heie tne entire campaign was
can led on under the direction of the
government health department. The
Canuuian government has carried on
ihe work of education with charact
ensttc thor"ugliness, issuing masses of
htcratuie uuougn tue provincial health
depaitmetus and lias also taken an
active hanu in the prevention of the
disease through a stuct supervision of
all muk supplies, it has also insti
uteu > vigorous campaign for the adop
tion of more sanitary improvements in
tne Canadian cities und lor tne estab
lishment ot the district nurse system
employed in a tew of tne latger cities
of tne Lnued States. In addition, aid
ed by the press and leading public
men, It has given a great impetus to
the fresh air movement which is by
far the groatest factor in the preven
tion of ti > disease. All this had re
sulted, as state i in the last reports of
the Canadian public health associa
tion, in a twenty-live per cent reduc
tion in the death rate during the past
fifteen years, A1 ithis is indicative
that the fight again this most dreaded
• f all human afflictions is by no means
as hopeless as the results so far ob
ained in tlie United States would in
dicate As a matter of fact, even In f
this country, although the results Of ^
h- anti-tuberculosis campaign have 1
been comparatively slight, the out- I
look Is decidedly encouraging. The j
■ ampalgn has resulted In a tendency
to better housing, cleaner streets and
mere perfect sewage, all of which will
help to wipe out many of the condi
tions favorable to tho growth and ex
tension of the disease. Considering the
general carelessness of the American
people In matters affecting their health,
even a slight falling off In tho death
rate may be considered a distinctly
favorable sign that the campaign will
utiimately result In a still greater de- j
crease in the future.
\\ ith a wiQtjr dissemination of
Knowledge of tne causes of tubercu
.osls and the means of prevention will]
ome a rai ger desire on the part of j
.he masses to aid and encourage the
movement. The main trouble hag been
that the work of education has not
_>een sufficiently extended, despite all
the effort that has been made. An]
aour’s Inquiry among one's acquaint
ances will disclose thr.t very few have
nore than a hasy knowledge of the
why and wherefore of tuberculosis and
aw have any knowledge whatever]
oncernlng the methods of prevention1
ind cure. All Rre more or less aware
f the fact that fresh air has some
hlng to do with it. but beyond this
heir understanding of the subject is
light.
However, the results achieved by the'
dominion government clearly Indicate
( nat a wider dissemination of knowl
dge is the essential factor In eradicat
ng the plague and we may hope that
i more extended campaign of educa
lon will bring equal results In the
'nlted Stae* within the next decade

DO YOU BELIEVE
IN A HEREAFTER
(Seattle Star.)
We will suppose that there is a here
tfter.
It won't do us any harm to believe
, t—many of us do believe It—the
nances are a thousand to one It is so—
nd we shall therefore do a little caleu
itlng, based on the beautiful supposl
ion that we. one and all. have to face
hereafter.
Take a look backward Into your Ilf'
your actions, thoughts, aspirations
nd try to conceive what will be your
tate of mind when you reach the
ereafter world.
If you have been in business here Ir
artnership with another person, wil'
hat person be glad to see you in
ereafter?
How about your wife, who worked
,-Jth you, and smiled with you, and
■ ept %vlth you—will she rush Into your
rnis? Will she tell the angel who has
harge of the ward to which you will1
e assigned that you were a fine man
nd should make a worthy angel?
Your children: Will they be pleased'
o see the angel who w’as their daddy!
ere on this earth?
How about you yourself, sir?"
V ill the angel in the hereafter who
as you In this life be proud of what
e was down haro *>
Or are you going recklessly ahead
vlng such a life, day by day, that
ou will blush when you walk through
he gates into the hereafter?
We wonder If we havn’t furnished

A OZONE “JAG”
(Philadelphia Ledger.)
An ozone jag! One of the newest
things, 1 assure you, and right on the
heels of the departing Jag that came
by way of a morning bracer or an eve
ning cocktail.
The ozone Jag is meant to carry the
air of a mountain top to your stuffy
ffices or your still stuffier factory
tnd workroom. Instead of having to
sneak out when nobody Is watching to
-et your accustomed eye-opener ovet
he bar, this ozone stimulant Is handed
-round gratis by the boss himseif.
Wherever Introduced, everybody irom
.he olliee boy and typewriter to the
lead of the establishment Indulges In
.his now air beverage, which Is war
ranted to make the palest cheek glow
ike a Gloucester fisherman's and ere*
its an appetite that w.ll carry dis
ress to the heart of the stoutekt board
.ng house mistress.
The ozone Is turned loose where all
may breathe It. "What Is the actual
effect?" I Inquired of a Philadelphia
manufacturer who has really witness
ed the results of wholesale ozone Jags
'Makes all hands work faster and yet
growr fat,’’ was the reply.
That latter result will make It un
popular In spots, but ought to eneour
’ge Its sale to persons of the Connie
Mack type. Factories In this town ar®
