of more than six thousand in the mum
Der of deaths from consumption.
Charles H. Johnson in the American
Review of Reviews credits this i'm
provement to the activity of the New
York health department. Families
able to care for their own sick were
advised a. to methods beneficial to
c~onsumptives and as to the protection
OF those about them. Free treatment
at their homes was given to patients
not able to employ a physician. San
itariums and hospitals were provided
for those VINO had no homes or could
not be treated at home. Physicians
we're induced to act together to pre-
vent the spread Of the disease. Train
ed nurses were sent into the tene-
ment districts to inform the people as
to the simpler curative agencies.
investigation showed that half the
tenement house population of New
York was more or less affected by
tuberculosis and that thousands be-
came consumptiye by reason Of their
weakened powers OF resistance due to
improper nourishment and unsanitary
surroundings. To meet these cOndi-
tons additional accommodations for
consumptives in hospitals were pro-
viied. OF the 1,431 cases admitted in
1902. all in advance stages, 378 ere
discharged as improved, n as much
improved, and ~ as practically cured.
OF patients treated in tents, fifty-fye
out of eighty-0ne showed improve
ment. OF 81 patients treated at the
open air sa~nitarium, sixty-five per cent
showed marked Improvement and
eighteen per cent were cured.
Mr.. Johnson's conclusions are that
by spreading information and by the
cooperation Of physicians the New
York health department has saved
thousands Of lives, and that with ade-
quate camp and hospital accommoda-
tons it might SAVE many more
In the plan followed consumptives
have not been alarmed and their rela-
tives have not been irritated. All
have been benefited and the public
protected without resort to unusual
methods or measures. What New
York has done toward checking the
white plague" other large cities can
do.

Great Flood in TeXas.

Gainesville, Tex, July 3.-The great
est food for years now prevails. No es-
innate can be given of the damage done
by the water. The streets resemble flow
ing rivers. Numerous houses along the
banks are in great danger of being mo-
mentarily washed away. Numerous par
ties are striving to reach and aid those
pressed by the waters. Around the de-
pot water is flowing to the depth Of six
or seven feet. A thousand sacks of flour
are being stacked around a large whole
sale house in an effort to keep out the
water. All residing in the lower portions
of the west end of the town have been
compelled to leave their homes on ac-
count of the water flowing through the
houses. Telephone messages from ada
cent towns report flood equal to the one
in Gainesville. The people in the north
east portion of the city are surrounded
by water and it is feared that loss of life
will follow. The last report is that men,
women and children, are trying to save
their lives in the raging waters of Pecan
creek, which is rising rapidly. The towns
of Lindsay and Munster are said to have
suffered n regular cloud burst. No
lives are reported lost. The report has
been received here that a passenger train
on the Santa Fe went into the ditch ten
miles this side of Gainesville and that
the engineer, fireman and postal clerk
are missing
Dallas, Tex, July "a rain storm
which swept over Texas last night reach
ed the proportion of a clOudburst at
Gainesville and Beeville, one in North
Texas and in the other in the extreme
southwestern section of the State. Re-
ports from Gainesville received by tele-
phone this morning state that early re-
ports sent out from there are greatly
exaggerated. No lives were lost. The
water rose rapidly in Gainesville last
night and darkness inspired terror in the
hearts of the inhabitants, especially in
the eastern portion Of the city where
Pecan and Elm creeks were out OF their
banks. The loss to property IS confined
to flooded stores and few small houses
in the outskirts of the city were swept
from their blocks by the current.
At Beeyille the government gauge
showed a rainfall of ten inches. Sixty
small houses were swept away and 200
people we're rendered homeless. There
were no losses of life. AT Karnes, Tex,
eleven Mexican campers on Medic |
creek were drowned Railroads report
loss Of tracks, but were unable to make
an intelligent statement. Crops suffered |
through the State.
