The Consumption Problem.

~HE tuberculosis situation in New York, accord
i ing to the report Of the committee proven
ton in that city, is unique. The metropolis has
at once a larger number Of deaths and cases OF
sickness from the disease, while it has the best
system for its control and Of any city IN the
country. IT, $780,. &s .'-.".' E Hs.'..# ~ =
The forces at work in New York to prevent the
spread Of the disease active and intelligent the
number of cases treated free is remarkable in
rich city and the result is fall of 20 per cent In the
waste Of human life from this preventable disease
since 1894. IT'D III, &$ j.. .#.:: 3. ., IL
AS giving an idea Of what is being done in New
York it is stated that the department. Of health
in the past twelve months maintained 1850 patients
in its own hospitals and in the same period paid
for the maintenance of average OF 7S9 patients
a month in private hospitals which care for the
consumptive poor. The matter Of prevention which
the committee considers the center of the tuber-
culosis problem, is handled in number OF ways,
principally thru educational lectures given under the
auspices Of the school board. The tenement house
department pays special attention to the question
Of consumption in its fight against the disease of
the tenements - The state labor bureau also CO.
operates with the health department in its effort
to enforce the laws regarding factory-made goods,
but this effort has as yet proved Ineffective because
of the inadequate force Of inspectors and the COM
rlercial obstacles to strict enforcement -.
& But2t situation is one of not very great en-
couragement. New York had last year nearly 10000
registered deaths from consumption. The city is
daily. becoming crowded, two and three-story
dwellings giving way to six and seven-story tene-
lneilts with many dark rooms. The vacant lot
breathing places are rapidly disappearing The bat
tie against this disease is primarily battleafor
prevention and in this fight the municipality itself
nnst bear the leading part. Nothing short Of the
best laws enforced in the most thoro manner will
do anything but daily with the problem. -sr~

acceptance of John d. Rockefeller's
tainted money should find them
selves drowning in a river, while Mr..
Rockefeller stood upon the bank hold
ing rope by means of which their
lives could be saved if they chose to
avail themselves of it. Is it likely that
they would long hesitate about accept
ing the use of that rope? Probably,
however. the DIRECTORS will refuse to
consiier the case analogous with that

made better and whose souls might be

that the gift of the tainted" money
was unsolicited, while it is certain that
the use of the equally tainted" rope
would be most strenuously solicited by
the drowning clergyman in the river.

q Years Of the Salvation Army.

lust twenty-five years ago. this
week, the first Salvation Army ban
ner was unfurled on our shores. The
little band of invaders which came
from England under that banner con-
sisted of only one officer and seven
lassies. but the work which they began
in New York at that time. has develop
ed into a great movement embracing
every section of our country, and ac-
complishing a vast amount Of good in
all our great cities. Today, the Saliva
ton Army. in this country. numbers
nearly 81, 900 officers and soldiers, and
controls property valued at s2,142,14O.
During the same quarter OF a CEN
tury the army has invaded nearly
every country on the globe. At first 1t
met with vigorous opposition. Here in
our own city some Is years ago. its
members were imprisoned because they
naraded Water street with music and
banners. 1t was the same everywhere
hut the early opposition has long since
been overcome, and in all civilized
lands the Salvation Army is recognized
as n noble Christian agency for the aid
of the poOr and unfortunate; for re-
forming criminals and for re-
claiming those who have fallen into
ways of vice and depravity. The Sal
walton Army is an enduring monument
to the unique genius of General Booth
its founder. and future ages will honor
his name as one of those who have
done the most for the welfare of hu.
mainly and the advancement Of the
work of practical Christianity.

The so-caIled sportsmen of Illinois,
who have been enjoying themselves at
trap shooting. will hereafter have to
use other targets than live birds. The
Illinois Legislature has jast passed a
bill. which Governor Dineen promptly
signed. prohibiting the killing and
manning of birds at shooting matches.
Nearly every state has such a law. and
il is a credit to Illinois that it has ia
ken this step. 1t is difficult to see
low any really civilized community
can allow the inhuman practice of toss
ing live birds in. the air and then blow
ing them to pieces with a charge of
shot. There is nothing spOrtsmanlike
in the practice and good workmanship
could be learned as well by using inani-
mate targets.
