SCHOOL FOR CoxsUMpTrrEs.

New York is to have 8 tuberculosis exposition at the American Museum of Natural History, opening next Monday. And so the good work goes on in the beneficent endeavor to prevent suffering and save human lives. In our own State the good work and great useful ness of the sanitorium at Wallingford becomes more and more manifest, and reports of similar good results come from all over the country in the cru- sade against this malady once so baf- fling to human effort. AS Dr. Osler dramatically puts it;
 Tn more than 400 homes of this country there are lamentations and woe tonight; husbands for thefr wives, wives for their husbands, parents for their children, children for their par ents. A mere repetition of yesterdays calamities! And if the ears of your hearts are opened you can hear as I speak the beating of the wings of the angels of death hastening to the 400 appointed for tomorrow. The present

crusade against tuberculosis, which is destined to achieve results we little dream of. has three specific objects, first. educational-the instruction of the profession and the instruction of the people; second, preventive-the pro- IT otion of measures which will check the progress of the disease in the com munity; third, curative-the study of methods by which the progress of the disease in Individuals may be arrested.
 Tn its most important aspect the problem of tuberculosis Is a home prob lem. In an immense proportion of all eases the scene of the drama is the home; on it's stage the acts are played whether to the happy issue of a recov. cry or to the dark ending of tragedy so commonplace as to have dulled our appreciation of it's magnitude
 There is strong reason for believing that at least 99 per cent. of the deaths caused by this germ could be prevent ed if the people knew how to kill or avoid it.

COIN IN TRADE.

The Part Played by it in Exports and
 Imports-"S Selling Price of Gold on
 European Markets.
 1 MT C. A. Conant's Principles of
 Money and Banking" just published,
 has this to say of the function of gold
 in the international exchanges:
 Gold bars must be converted into
 coin in order to be available for internal circulation. In the case of countries having large stores of gold, however, held in the central bank or public treasury, the immediante conversion of of the bars into coin is sometimes de- layed and the bars are available for 1 re-export in the case of need without going through the double cost of con- version from bars into coin and back again from coin into bars. Where the
 demand for gold, moreover, for foreign trade Is frequent, as in England and France, the coins of foreign countries are sometimes kept in stock ready for shipment to those countries in case gold is demanded to settle trade balances with them. This permits the Bank of England to deliver American eagles for shipment to America and the Bank of France to hold sovereigns for shipment to Great Britain. sovereigns are indeed favorite form of carrying metallic reserves in the banks of Europe, be- cause international finance is controlled so largely from London and interna- tional settlements are so often made there.
 ''The fact that such coins are held to meet demands for shipment abroad operates to advantage in fixing the price of gold. Trifiing as the differ ence is between the value of a gold coin at different times in the gold coin of another country, this difference due partly to the cost of conversion and partly to the intensity of the demand for certain coins-is sufficient to per- init slight variations in the cost of foreign coins in the national currency. Thus the price for American eagles is

Thanksgiving Greeting.

To all the poor os all the earth,
 In every cline and place, or every color, age, and tongue,
 Of every creed and race, Who suffer famines cruel scourge,
 America sends greeting, And bids them this Thanksgiving Day To come enjoy good eating. Her table with it's viands rare
 Extends from coast to coast, The cattle on ten thousand hills
 Supply the steak and roast. Her crystal rivers team with fish,
 Her woods are full of nuts, And streams of amber nectar flow
 From all the cider-butts, Her pumpkins are the biggest ones
 That ever graced a field, Her wheat, and corn, and orchard tree: Enormous in their yield. Her vineyards in the autumn suns
 Have never failed to thrive, And there's turkey in the coop
 For every soul alive. She Is the hostess of the world.
 Her hospitality Is known on every mountain-top
 And praised on every sea. To feed the hungry universe
 To! she Is fully able, With but the crumbs that yearly fall From her Thanksgiving table.

CONSOLIDATION.

One would think from the talk in the magazine articles about the consolida- tion and community of interests that these things were something just dis covered in this modern age of railroad absorption of other railroads, both steam and trolley. But the great New York Central road years and years ago in its formative period was not one con- tinuous line under one head. There were once no less than seven distinct railroad companies operating sections of the territory between Albany and Buffalo. These were linked up and con- solidated and made one line under one control and management. So as to Pennsylvania highways. Years ago the property of 102 turnpike corporations in the Keystone state were linked up and consolidated in that states system of highways to the great advantage of all concerned, both owners and public New York state will add another star attraction in it's big array of attrac- tions by the creation of this new 44O mile nacadamized highway; for with it the tourist, including, of course, the ever present ubiquitous auItomobilist and the four-in-hand parties likewise can by this state avenue enjoy a de- lightful trip of romantic and rolling scenery greatly diversified such as an excursion in this way across the Elm pire state will afford. Connecticut is no laggard in good roads building, thanks to the public spirit manifested on this subject, and all the good fruits thereof, already so important, are not yet attained.

London is raised in English money above the cost of buying bars and converting them into eagles, then the measure. becomes ineffective, because the exporter of gold will send gold bars, or, if he cannot get them, gold soyereigns, rather than pay an ex- cessive price for eagles.
 Tn the United States this resource is not available to any considerable de- gree, because the Treasury of the Uni- ted States does not retain and sell foreign coins. All gold brought into the Treasury which Is not in the form of American coin is converted into bars. An effort was made in 1891 to check the export of gold by authoriz- ing the secretary of the Treasury to impose a small charge upon the cost of gold bars, which had previously been furnished flor their cost in coin. The measure did not prove effective, because the price fixed was such that it was cheaper to export eagles and the Treasury was simply put to the expense of coining bars into eagles to 4 meet the demand for export. Recently the Treasury has put few obstacles in the way of obtaining gold bars. A ! charge of forty cents for each 5000, about the cost of manufacture, has not prevented the bars being more attrac- tive than coin for meeting foreign de- 1nands for gold."

A Suggestion.

To Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 Dear Sir-Now that the government is preparing to build some large war ships, it is hoped that it will tumble to the fact that all such vessels have too great draught of water. We have sev- eral warships now that can scarcely go through Long Island Sound, they are drawing so much water. It will soon be necessary to have guns in them large enough to send a cannon ball ten miles, as they cannot get much nearer any shore. Give them more breadth and less draught of water. They will handle easier, turn around quicker and go into more shallow water and sail faster. Breadth is what is required.

GREAT ROAD BUrLDrye,

New York State is sound on the good roads question, anyhow. The State has it's troubles as regards it's fraudulent ballots and it's insurance scandals and malodorous revelations in high places, but as regards good roads it is all right. Take, for instance, as a shining exam pie, to which the Empire State may well point with pride," the new great 44O-mile highway which it is going to build right away by means of the ex- penditure of $5O,OOO,OOO, which was voted for the purpose election day. This new great road, one of many minor good roads in the State, will be a good ma- cadam road, 44O miles long, running from the metropolis to Albany and thence to Buffalo by way of Utica, Syracuse and Rochester. The State will then have a complete railway net, the only canal connecting the Great Lakes with the seaboard, and, with one exception, the longest anu 4lileSl LlSuWdy Ill tLS COuu- try.
 The exception is, of course, the Cum berland road, or National Pike" begun by the United States government in 1906 and running westward from Gum berland, Maryland, through Wheeling and Columbus to Vandalia in Central Illinois. Although the continuous sys- tenn of turnpikes starting from Trenton and ending at steubenville, on the Ohio river, crosses three States, it is but 3SO miles long, or 110 miles shorter than the highway which is to be constructed un- der the authority and with the funds of New York State.
 It will be less of & task to construct this road than might be imagined. In- deed, a large part of it is already begun or authorized-the section from Albany to Syracuse and beyond-and sixty-six miles have been completed.
