The Jewish outlook., 1906-02-02

The question Of eradicating the white
plague is the most momentous subject
before the civilized world to-day. Num-
bering hundreds Of thousands Of victims
annually, sparing neither rich nor poor
although particularly severe on the lat
ter, this dreadful disease has been the
subject OF research and discussion by
medical men, sanatarians and sOciolO-
gists. Every civilized country has it's So
cieties for the prevention of tubercu-
losis. While we are anXiously waiting
for some specific remedy to cure this dis
ease, the best possible form Of treatment,
especially for the poor, is in a sani-
tarium, where the patient is taught how
to live the right kind of life, eat the
proper food and be under gentle disci-
pline and instruction so as to benefit his
health and promote his recovery. An
other very important advantage of the
is prevented from injecting members of
his family and Of the community
Reviewing the progress of our So
ciety during the past year we find from
the treasurer s report that the receipts
for 1905 are almost treble those of 1904,
evidencing the increasing interest of our
co-religionists in this worthy cause. In
proportion to the increase in cOntribu-
tions more and more tents were erected
and additional patients admitted
The principal duty of the new board
of trustees will be to devise ways and
means to increase the capacity Of our
sanitorillm, so that we can minister to
still greater number of patients. AL
though proud of our good achievements
in the short period of our existence we
must not rest on our laurels, when we see
before us our enormous task in the
struggle against the white plague. Let
not this gigantic undertaking discourage
even our humble efforts but let us press
forward and onward, continually preach
our propaganda and awaken the Jewish
heart with our inspiring slogan, ''He
who saves one life is considered as if he
preserved the whole world" Born
midst the humblest surroundings, strug-
Cling for existence in the face of discour-
agements and enmity, eventually silenc-
ing all opposition and finally challeng-
ing admiration the Jewish Consrlmp-
tives' Relief Society may calmly look
into the future, confident of still greater
success in the years to come.

amount of $2,327.SO from donations and
membership dues, an indication of d
prosperous year.
The secretary's report, DR.. G. d. Spi:
yak, was resume of the doings and ac-
complishments of the society from it's in

1t was an exceedingly interesting report
full of valuable facts, though somewhat
long. He stated that in the sixteen
months Of the society's existence, 176
afflicted consumptives applied for ad-
mission, of this number ninety-fve, or
ffty-four per cent. were treated in the
institution Average number Of patients
per month were thirty. Eleven emerg-
ency cases (consumptives who had been
stricken down suddenly with profuse
hemOrrhages) were treated in the sani-
tariJm. This is the only place in Den

that accepts such emergency cases. The

of the management of the sanitorillm is
the low cost Of maintenance per day
which is 81 1-3 cents per capita. There
is not another institution in the United
States where patients are maintained at
such low cost. The secretary closes the
report with the following interesting
statement:

Constitutionality Of Wisconsin Meas
ure To Be Tested.

MADISON, Wis, April 4-The con-
stitutionality of the Wisconsin grain
inspection law enacted by the legisla-
ture of 1905 and amended at the spe-
cial session last December is being
tested in the federal court here be-
fore Judge A. L. Sanborn, Of the west
ern district of Wisconsin. The liti-
CATION involves the validity of the
grain inspection system established by
the legislature for the city Of Superior
after several long and bitter contests
in the legislature.
Elevator and railroad interests Of
Minnesota, particularly centered at
Duluth, never took kindly to the es-
ton system at Superior, and it is
these interests that now seek to have
the law declared unconstitutional. 1t
is alleged that the act contravenes the
fourteenth amendment to the United
States constitution; that it is in vio-
lation Of the interstate commerce law,
and that it cannot stand for these
and other reasons.
The plaintiff is the Globe Elevator
company, and the Great Northern rail-
way has a cross bill, The attorneys
fighting the law in the arguments in
the court here are G. H. Crownhart
John A. Murphy, Scion L. Perrin and
Ralph Whelan.
Representing the Wisconsin grain
commission are L. X. Luse and Sena-
tor George B. Hudnall. The latter
was the father of the bill, leading the
fight in the legislature Of 1902, ending

A Dangerous Runaway.

A runaway occurred Saturday night
that took in large part of the bor-
ough and was attended with several
narrow escapes.
The horse, a young animal, attach
ed to a buggy, was being driven by q
young man named Johns, who resides
in Toby run hollow. The young man,
accompanied by lady, was coming
into town and had just reached the
crossing near the gas house at the hos
pital for the insane when they heard a
freight train approaching. The horse
was known TO be afraid of the cars and
to insure against accident Mr.. Johns
jumped out and took the horse by the
head
AS the train came up the animal be-
came so badly frightened that the
driver could not hold him. While the
horse was plunging the lady leaped
out of the carriage and the next mo-
ment the animal broke loose and dash
ed down the road toward town. The
runaway horse caused CONSERVATION as
dIiverless he dashed down East Mar
ket street. There were a good many
vehicles on the street and at several
places it seemed that there would sure
ly be a collision Escaping obstacles by
only hairsbreadth, the horse thread
cd his way in and out among the car
riages and reached Market square be
fore anything happened Here in max
ing short turn down Ferry street
several spOkes were broken out of one
of the wheels. The horse dashed down
Ferry street and eastward on Front
street.
At julius Helm 5 residence the We
hicle was caught by an obstruction
and badly wrecked. The horse de-
tatched himself from the vehicle but
before he ran much farther was caught
and taken to Pattons livery stable,
where he was held pending the own.
er's arrival.
In due time Mr.. Johns came along
and took charge of the horse. He Dor
rowed wheel at Hunts carriage shoI
and with some assistance was able tC
patch up the buggy-which was in q
manner new-sO that il could be driv
en- home.
