The far-sighted lead- j er? of this organization realize that ! the . interests of town and country, far from being distinct, are Insep arably blended, that municipal growth depends upon rural growth, that good fartuH are the foundation of good. business Thin idea is ap i pealing more and more keenly to aj.''-ii< of civic progress the coun.r I r r\ over, but it in doubtful that ?it has r before be??n worked out in ~'> thorough and far-reaching detail as bv the LaC range Chamber of Coiji tnerce. .

' On each farm we are told, '"will be ercctcd mod ern farm houses, up-to-date barns and each will be equipped with whatever is necessary for really mo dern farming. In the midst of each settlement, there will he a well equipped and well conducted school The cotnunify will keep ;it the dis posal of each neighborhood forces of workmen and machinery, so that farmers who have sickness or la bor trouble will nevertheless be able to get their work done, and practi cally at cost prices.

Within the last five year*, no ! ? ... . ? , less than 500 fraudulent "cures" for j consumption have been tried upon j thousands of victims in the United .States, and the exploiters of these i nostrums have reaped a clear pro fit of not less than $50,000,000. This is an estimate made by The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis in | a bulletin Issued to-day. The National Association estimates | that not less than $20,000,000 is ; invested in the business of manu re -luring and exploiting fake mres for tuberculosis, and that the annual ; income from these concerns and indi viduals is $15,000,000. About one [ third of this amount is spent for ! ad vertising, leaving a profit of $10, ! <iOQ,000 a year, which is "blood mo ney'* taken from ignoran.t consump ' fives. Three kinds, of Consumption cure 'frauds are distinguished by the As sociation, the first being the "insti tute" fraud, where a pseudo-hospital or diispenSary 1b eBtablished and the wily "doctor" or "professor" ad ministers "treatments'" at so much per head. These concerns also car ry on a mail order business with great profit. The second group of cures contains over a hundred dif ferent kinds of drugs and "patent" devices, any of which may be pur chased at a drug store. Usually the consumptive is charged from $1?00 to $5.00 for these and the institute "cures," when he could make them Up hltoself In exactly ihe same form for from one to five cents. The third group of "cures" in cludes home-made remedies, which certain self deluded individual* ? be lieve will cure tuberculosis. Among them are such things as onions, le mons, coal smoke, pig's blood, alco hol, dog oil, teas of various kinds, j and a variety of diets, including goats meat, clabbered milk and a J score of other articles. These are not usually advertiseed for profit, J but are usually given publicity in various ways. | The consumptive is the most hope ful individual in existence wheft the question of a cure is suggested. The National Association has stated that no specific cure for tuberculo sis has been discovered, except the well-triled hygienic method of fresh air, rest and good food.
