THE French postoffice is being del

the enforcement of the departments
recent order prohibiting the
passage through the mails of envelopes
bearing the customary black border in
token of mourning. The new rule
permits the use of. note paper with as
deep border as the sender desires,
but the cover must be white, or may
be tinted, but at least is not to have .
black edge. 1t is not the fsstidious-
ness of the French people that has
caused the department to make the
new regulation. The real reason is
that mourning envelopes are.too easily

WAR AGAINST CONSUMPTION.

Ell PasO has no use for the able
bodied tramp except to make him work
on the streets. Ell Pasoans can feel nc
pity for these dregs of humanity who
in this day of prosperity, with work
and good wages for everybody, prefer
to live by begging rather than by
working. There is nothing but con-
tempt and aversion for them, aud the
law is invoked to rid the community OF
these worthless buns.
But Ell Paso has to deal with another
kind OF tramp-the dependent consump.
tive. Here is a NOR difficult pro blem
than the other. Above policy, above
pocket, above economics, is humanity.
Pity we must feel for these poor fell
lows, and the profile a of dealing with
them is one that must be faced.
It is likely that three fourths of the
men and women who come to Ell Paso
in search of Health are ill provided
with means for self support. Some of
the dependent ones are physically un-
able to work. Others are lacking in
mental capacity to compete for en-
ployment in the strenuous west. Hun
dreds of these poor people. sent down
here by their friends as last resort
or spending their last savings in the
endeavor to regain strength, sooner or
later become q charge upon the COM
munity.
What to do with the dependent con-
sumptfves is a question: that is agitst-
ing many different states at the pre-
sent time. The matter has become 80
serious that in more than one common
wealth Investigations are.s being car
ried on and measures'inaugurated with
q view to lessening the death rate from
the fearful disease among those already
stricken, and saving the sound ones
from Infection.
In New York state. there has for
some time been under discussion a
proposition to establish a state SANTA

paying patients would come from
everywhere to participate In
its benefits. The Investment by the
state of Texas of few millions
in this way would not only pay hand
some profit but would rebound to her
everlasting fame. Such state
sanitarium, open to the nation at
large, would go long way towsrd
solving the great problem of control
ling the fearful scourge of tube.-
culosis.
OF course isolation would be the key
note: the climate would take care of it
self;plenty of pure, wholesome food, ra
tional treatment, rest, and outdoor
life would effect thousands of cures that
would be otherwise impossible.
Ell Paso would not lose by having
such a vast institution here. This
city can have it if it wants it. Let the
chamber of commerce think about the
m natter.

among consumptives that must be at
tended to first, just as with the insane,

the problem is far greater one than
this. When the people fully awaken

| those he had been supporting. IL Is
the dependent class that must be reach
ed by the state, said DR.. Pryor, and
especially the early cases should be
isolated and treated as rigidly as are
cases of yellow fever or smallpox. Ad-
vanced cases would constitute sepsr-
ate problem, to be provided for later
on.
| "We have provided for the care OF
every one else," he said, ''but the
cousumptive. He is the one unique
character for whom nothing has been
DONE In other infectious diseases the
culosis it has increased. There is the
largest increase this year.in the his
tory of the disease"
After stating that 'seighty per cent
of all consumptives die because they
are poor" DR.. Pryor went on to re-
commend the erection of state hos
pitfalls, for the treatment, separately,
of early and advanced cases. He sd-
vocsted state treatment because it was
the only way to be safe, embraced an
i'd cal method of treatment, kept the
patients where they would not beget
progeny, and would instruct public
sentiment in regard to the importance
of preventing this , contagious dis
ease.
SIT is said this means big expense,
but the benefit will offer far more than
q sufficient compensation. The state
expeuds 81 900, 600 for the insane and
epileptic, and only per cent, recover.
The expense goes on forever. II we
took care of the consumptives we would
have 10 per cent of recovery. Think
of what that would mean when there
are Ia, 900 deaths from the disease In the
state every year. Our system Of trest-
ing the disease in thoroughly antique
ed in Europe. In England there has
been q reduction in the death rate
from this disease of 20 per cent, and
here we go on increasing the rate.
We have q precedent for this SANTA
rum in some of the other states. Mas
sachusetts has begun the work, and
Illinois, Pennsylvania aud Maryland
have followed. Practically. every state
in Europe has adopted care of consump-
tives. Private philanthropy cannot
do it. 1t Is too vast problem. 1t
should be attended to by the state"
Another physician in the course of
his remarks said: whatever inspira
ton we have in communicable diseas-
es is as to the manner in which in
lection has been stamped out. We
have strsngled the others out of civil
izstion. We will do this with con-
sumption. For ages twenty per cent
of the deaths were due to smallpox.
Now we hardly fear it. One-tenth of
the death rate in this country is due to
consumption. The state should do
with it what it has done with. other in
fictitious diseases. We have only got
to isolate it and it will disappear. The
general government, either state or
national, should take care of it. Then
the sentiment of the entire people will
be inf1uenced.''
