With the Perry Arctic club’s pen nant fluttering from her main tiuck and the Stars and Striper at her mis- sen, the Arctic exploration steamer Roosevelt left her pier at New York Monday carrying Commander Robert E. Peary, who Is to head another ex pedition In quest of the North Pole.

Tuberculosis, which may be classed among the dust diseases ravages our country beyond all other tubercule bacilli.
