"And this would not cost much. One
bed would cure at least two cases in a
year, and in the incipient stage it would
cure four cases. Thus ESQ beds would
cure 5000 cases a year
Cost Small Compared to Benefits.
"To erect and furnish buildings for
]. $50 beds would cost from $500. 900 to
81 .O0O. OO0 Patients could be maintained
and properly treated for $500 per year.
The maintenance and treatment Of 5.0Oo
patients a year, allowing three months
for each patient, would cost a little
less than $500, 600. In fifteen years it
would cost about Sc COO 600. Adding the
cost OF beds and buildings to the cost
OF maintenance for fifteen years. we
have an outlay of about 81 7.000. 900. Now.
what would be the result? In fifteen
years, tuberculosis would be stamped
out in Pennsylvania During that time
1OO. 900 lives would be saved by cure
and prevention. and for all future time
from 5000 to 10000 lives a year would
be saved.
How singular that man Is ever
ready to spend money for the destruc-
tion OF human life. but never for it's
preservation. The people Of the United
States, without a moments hesitation.
taxed themselves $2nn n0O, 900 to wage
war with Spain One-half OF that sum
would wipe out tuberculosis throughout
the entire United States, and save 1O0. .0O0
lives a year.
Aid to Human Race.
Men with vast fortunes are vying
with each other to add to our facilities
for education. Millions are given to edu-
catiOnal institutions and Libraries Good
viii come from these gifts. But who can
fathom the good which would accrue to
/ the human race from an outlay Of the
same amount Of money in the project OF
stamping out tuberculosis
/ With these strong arguments DR.. Flick
early in the fan interested Henry Phipps,
one Of the Carnegie partners Mr., Fhipps
visited White Haven. What he saw con-
vinced him that in DR.. Flicks method a
genuine cure had at last been found for
consumption. He subscribed literally TO
the hospital, so that its capacity might
be much enlarged. and he subscribed
literally TO the society that runs It. so
that free dispensaries for poor consump-
tives might be established IN Phila1el-
phia. Also he Interested Mr.. Carnegie
in the Flick open-air cure, and Mr.. Car
negie will investigate this cure imme-
diately on his return to America.
/ II Mr.. Carnegie finds that at White
Haven the claims Of DR.. Flick are borne
out by fact land heCannot but find this)
there is a strong likelihood that Car

ment TO spring up in all parts of the
Hand. and in their place Carnegie hos
pitals will begin to appear-hospitalG

the eradication OF consumption in thS
United States will be begun.

APACHE KID THE WARRIOR HAS RETURNED TO CIVILIZATION.

AGAINST the whites The Moiaves were
believed to be in secret alliance with
them. There certainly was a great deal
of disturbance and warlike suIkiness
among both tribes. 1t is suspected by
many that this visit has something to
do with the threatened trouble ahead.
and the unwelcome Apache Kid ana his
companions are under surveillance every
minute to prevent their fomenting pos
sible rebellion. He feels that he Is
watched and seems displeased and sui
len. Border citizens assert that his visit
is a case where delay is dangerous, "
and they are anxious that he select the
women he wants or who will have him
and go hence. They do not put them
selves in the squaw- hunters place even
for the sake Of argument.

Apache Kid appears iE no hurry TO
leave. He declares the} he has come
out Of the wilds for the simple purpose
Of settling down" and becoming an ac-

Meanwhile Martin Van Buren appeared
on the scene. He was as great as a poll
tician as Clinton was as a statesman,
as adroit as Burr. and infinitely more
cunning than Burr. he was not like
Clinton. a knight. armed cap-a-pie. in
open list, but, clothed in a coat OF invisi-
bleness and shod in shoes OF swiftness,
he bewildered and enraged his adver-
saries. He Was a boss, native and TO
the manner born-he knew who could
be ruled by interest and who could be
swayed By passion. In order to curb
the Influences OF Clinton in the Interior
he established iunta at the State capi-
tol famous as the Albany regency,s
and silas Wright was his lieutenant.
Clinton had long contemplated tha
building Of the Erie Canal His creative
mind conceived the project. and he h744
as mayor and senator urged its practi-

and the canals we're built, and through
them the teeming fields OF the West
poured their rich harvests into the lap
OF New York, and that city was the
gateway from America to Europe He
was ridiculed and the canal was called
"a ditch, but bis moment OF triumph
came. and even a hostile Legislature
elected him canal commissioners trib-
ute that even envy could not dery him
In 1920 Van Buren caused the Leglsla-
ture to remove Clinton from the Office Of
mayor, and on motion Of Silas Wright he
was further humiliated by the passage
Of a resolution removing him from the
office Of canal commissioner.

man-knew that he was proud. but they
knew that he was never naughty to the

They knew he was honest, and now they
rallied to him.
He was elected governor, and trium-
phantly reelected at the close OF his

 NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 25.-There was noth ing particularly significant in the action of Liverpool today, though the decline of I-64d in deliveries was somewhat disappointing to yesterdays buyers. Considering the continued heavy arrivals, however, the English market prevailed on this side. Trading was tame some of the customary Saturday liquidation being accomplished. though in all 1t appeared as if both factions were content to wait for the next week to furnish some incentive for fresh engagements. Fluctuations were limited to few points and closing quotations are un- changed to l point lower than yesterday
 The market is in a patient mood at present as the trade is quietly awaiting developments of character that will present clearer view Of the situation In the meantime, however cotton continues to move at a lively rate and is passing into the channels of Consumption in a liberal way at the prevailing level of prices. The points to be determined hence forth are t:,e size of the remnant of the crop and the subsequent extent of spinners' re- quirements. and the ability to draw accurate conclusions on these features is necessary to decide the future course of the market

NEW YORK, Jan. 25-The Ffnancier says: The bank returns this week showed gain of $9.0O7,1 100 in cash, making an increase in this item compared with the cash at the end of the year of $27,1403 300. It is noteworthy that the total increase in cash as estimated from the traceable movement of money. into the banks for the four weeks ending last week, was $33. S65 200, indicating that the banks re- turn and the unofficial estimate of cash movements now very nearly agree, there being a discrepancy of only $6,724 300. As was the case in the previous week, the gain in cash shown by the banks was almost wholly confined to specie, the in- crease in legal tenders being only &Sl,- 200. The loans showed the remarkable small gain of g, 413 800. This following an increase of but 8, ,292, 300 in the previous week would seem to indicate an unusual ly limited amount of borrowing from great part to the light speculation on the Stock Exchange The money loaned at call during the week most likely con sisted principally of commission houses balances. Loans by interior banks of de- posits with their New York correspond ents and those by bankers who had bor- rowed on sterling would not be reflected in the loan item of the New York banks. Deposits showed an increase of $10,9446 500, or only A76,000 below the total of the gain in the loans and n cash; hence the statement, in this respect, is harmo- nious. T'te surplus reserve showed an in- crease of S6.T1,950 and this item now stands at $25, ,3S2. 400. or within $5.467,O5O of the amount recorded in the correspond ing week last year.

 South Was Light Buyer.

New York, Jan. 25.-The cotton market opened steady 294 points lower on near months and unchanged to three points higher on far months. The heaviness in near positions was in sympathy with a decline of 1-2 to 1 point in Liverpool but before the close shorts became alarmed over the favorable prospect for a port movement of only 22,Q00 bales against 2S,- -736 last year. Immediately after the call the whole market became firm on cover ing foreign demand and some new buy ing March stfffened up to SIP. May to 8.15 and July to S.2, with the shorts much disturbed by reports that this weeks Texas movement will be little if any more than half that of last year. Speculation was active all the short ses- sion with sentiment slowly, swinging around to the bu1lish view point. A prominent local commission house sold some 5000 bales or more of May cotton. The South was light buyer. Private wires reported spot cotton South as firm CT and a shade higher on increased de- mapd from exporters.
 The market for futures closed quiet net one point lower to two points higher,
 having eased off in the last half hour under profit taking.
