DIR. Harmon Biggs of New York
(American Medicine), after careful
estimation, places the annual expense
OF tuberculosis to the people of the
United States at 100000, 100000. He
first calculates the loss to New York
city by putting value of $1,000 upon
each life at the average at which
deaths from tuberculosis occur. This
gives a total value OF the lives lost
annually of s1.500,O0OOO
But this is not all. For at least nine
months prior to death these patients
cannot work, and the loss of service
ut one dollar a day, together with food,
nursing, medicines. attendance, etc,
ut one and one-half dollars day, re-
suits in further loss of $4,000 100000,
making yearly loss to the munici-
ballty of $2s,00O,0O0CO. For the whole
country the 10000 deaths from tuber-
rulosis represent In the same way
loss of s330,0O0.0O0.OO.
DR.. Biggs also states that the total
expenditure In the city of New York
Tor the care OF tuberculous patients is
aot at present over s5O0,O00OO year
That is, 1t does NOT exceed two per cent
VI the actual loss by death etc. IF
This annual expenditure were doubled
Or trebled 1t would mean a saving of
several thousand lives annually, to say
nothing OF the enormous saving in suf-
sering." Further evidence of this is
Afforded by the fact that in the last
twenty years the. total number of
deaths from tuberculosis in New York
has decreased instead of increasing,
although there has been an increase
OF 20 per cent in the general popula-
ton.

SUGAR a Universal Need.

Sugar has modified the history OF

centuries ago, almost exclusively in
the preparation of medicines, and long
afterward an article of luxury only &C
cegsible to the rich, 1t has by enlarged
production and cheapened mAnufac-
ture been brought within the reach of
all. The universal use of this prac-
tically pure carbohydrate. which is
not only a freely burning fuel and
proteid sparer, but muscle food. in
creaslng the power of doing work
and lessening fatigue, must have had
widespread and beneficial effects on
the general health. Especially in the
case of children, whose greed of sugar
is the expression of physiological
want, has that food been valuable in
conducting to growth. contentment and
well-being."

Size of Ancient Babylon.

Ancient Babylon was not such a
great city as some have supposed, ac-
cording to H. Valentine Geere, the
archaeologist. He says: 1.-THE idea
of Babylon's vastness and magnifi-
cence, to which we have become &C
customed, has been practically explod-
ed. DR. Kodewey told me that the
site of the city was larger than that
OF any other ancient city; but even
so, the idea that it could be compared
with London and its suburbs, which
has been very generally held, is en-
tirely erroneous. In point of fact, it
appears that its walls were not more
than eight miles in circumference.
Moreover, the great palaces are shown
to have been poor affairs after all,
with wretchedly cramped apartments,
and next to no pretensions to archi-
tectural style; and the temples were
exceedingly crude buildings"
