has at last cleared himself from the
charges made against him. and mis-
good name is restored. The supreme
court today annulled his condemnation
without q new trial.
For seven years Dreyfuss has sui

had been traitor to his country.

newspapers of Dreyfuss' selection

his colonelcy is thereby likely to be
restored with rank and honors.

statistics of the extent Of tuberculosis:

Academy of Medicine in the French
capital, Mr.. Ingram states, snow that
100000 persons die of tuberculosis in
France every year, representing 80
deaths to each 10000 inhabitants. In
Germany the rate is only 22 deaths
from tuberculosis to every 10000 in
habitants, but chronic bronchitis IL

from tuberculosis to each 10000 in
habitants. In cities from 100000 to
49, 500 inhabitants there are 34.4
deaths TO the same number.
Professor Landouzy's investiga
tons among policemen and posta
employees, both of whom have also
very insanitary ofIices-indeed, the
public complaints against the impure
air in postoffices in Paris are mos

workers. have revealed disastrous

workmen carefully kept under obseI
walton by Professor Landouzy, con
sisting of carpenters, joiners, foo
layers and packers, all living under
practically the same conditions, the
mortality from tuberculosis amounted

Laundry workers. however, were
found to be the most seriously affect
