FAKE CONSUMPTION CURES MAKE BIG PROFIT. "Within the last five years, no less than 500 fraudulent "cures" for consumption have been tried upon thousands of victims in the United States, and the exploiters of these nostrums have reaped a clear profit 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 today.

The National Association estimates that not less than $20,000,000 is invested in the business of manufactur- and exploiting fake cures for tuberculosis, and that the annual income from these concerns and individuals is $15,000.000. About one-third of this amount is spent for advertising leaving a profit of $10,000,000 a year, which is "blood money" taken from ignorant consumptives. Three kinds of consumption cure frauds are distinguished by the asso- baby to the best physician in the state capital. He studied his child's scorecard as he studied the pedigree of his finest stock. He gave his child as careful attention as for years he had been giving his crops and his stock.

He cooperated with his wife in working out a system of simple physical- culture exercises for the two-year-old. He saw that it was fed on the best instead of sending the best to market. "And at the next fair that very baby took first honors in the Better Babies contest--blue ribbon, cash and a splendid score-card which was printed in big type in the daily papers. Do you wonder that the Better Babies movement is sweeping the agricultural districts and slate fairs?" FORGOTTEN THINGS. SUPERVISORS FORMALLY GIVE THE MAGNIFICENT NEW COURT HOUSE TO CITIZENS OF COUNTY Joseph Scott of Los Angeles may be classed as a conservative, but were many things in his speech at Ventura July 4 that should be remembered by all, Mr.

Scott has been thinking of things that lie below the surface. He spoke of the lesson of the Civil war, of the men, the blue and the gray, who fought for what they be- ieved to be right. Then he spoke of the Revolution, saying that "the men In the presence of a large crowd, A. Camarillo, chairman of the board of supervisors, formally presented the new court house to the people of Ventura county. Judge Robert M.

He stated that his reason for declining the president's appointment as special prosecutor in the Caminetti case was for this reason.

These concerns also carry on a mail order business at great profit. The second group of cures contains over a hundred different kinds of drugs, and "patent" devices, any of which may be purchased at a drug store.

"Usually the consumptive is charged from $1 to for these and the institute "cures," which he could make up himself in exactly the same form for from one to five cents. The third group of "cures" includes home-made remedies, Avhich certain self-deluded individuals believe will cure tuberculosis. Among them are such things as onions, lemons, coal smoke pig's blood, dog oil, teas of various kinds, and a variety of diets, including goat's meat, clabbered milk and a score of other articles. These are not usually advertised for profit, but are usually given publicity in various ways. The consumptive is the most hopeful individual in existence when the question of a cure is suggested.

The National Association has stated that no specific cure for tuberculosis has been discovered, except the well-tried hygienic-dietetic method of fresh air, rest and good food.

After the crowd became large Cap tain Charles Plunket of the South Dakota sent for the ship's orchestra of 17 pieces and it played for the close of the dance.

Among the people of Oxnard and I Camarillo. Anna Steese Richardson, writing an article entitled. "Better Babies on the Farm." in the current issue of Farm and Fireside, starts out with the proposition that better crops plus livestock plus better babies equals prosperity. She then goes on to show how county and state fairs have been responsible for friendly competition which has raised the standard of corn and livestock. From this she proceeds to report how farm officials are now going to prove that even greater prosperity for the farmer can be insured Babies" on the farm.

Mrs. Richardson then reports the first state fair contest which was held in Iowa two years ago, where children were judged not for their beauty but for their health and physical merit. Describing this first "Better Babies" fair. Mrs. Richardson writes in part: "Babies from both farm and city homes were entered.

But he believed in the system of this government, and the sanity and common sense of the people who'were living in it. He believed in God, and God heard his prajer. And if Lincoln could do that, don't; you think we ought to cheer up a lit- tie ourselves, and when the fellow comes and hands it to us about how he is going to change our government, say to him, will make ourselves better without abdicating the tenets of American i SHEEP men who formulated and signed the Declaration of Independence, next occupied his thought. He urged that patriotism be taught as a matter of course, every day, in every home.

He touched on the deficiency of present- day education in the fundamentals, the three R's, and patriotism, and calling attention to the danger of the know-it-all attitude of superficially educated young people. Continuing, he said: "Truth is unchangeable, everlasting. Everything that has principle underlying it, has a modicum of truth under it. and it is because we have certain eternal principles of government, of right and wrong, of truth and honesty, that those men who wrote the Declaration of Independence appreciated what they were doing when they laid down this declaration of principles to live forever, and we must get our young fellows to believe this. "We are looking to new gods and new principles to give us amelioration of our present condition.

Gatherings are being held in this country where this flag (pointing to the flag) is never seen, where it means nothing, but instead of that, is a red flag. That red flag is put up by sincere, honest men, who think they are not getting a square deal in this fight for a living; so they put up that flag, and talk of the French Revolution and take us forage and the efforts of the forest out of this country to tell us what principle means; and they are trying to get your boy and my boy to believe the people who tried to start something during the French Revolution had better and saner ideas of liberty than the men who wrote the Declaration of Independence, and this is creeping into our schools, and into our minds. If Thomas Jefferson, eorge Washington, John Quincy Adams, and those men, did not understand what human liberty meant, if they were not on the level when they wrote that, if they did not believe roll, Ruth and Hazel Virden, Rose and AAC Camarillo, Lena Jones, Alfred Brigham, Alfred and Joe Petit, Carl Olsen, Russell Carroll, Andrew Borchard, David Darling.
