WAR ON CONSUMPTION.
Time Is Coming When tuberculosis
Will Be as Rare as Leprosy.

Time Is Coming When tuberculosis
Will Be as Rare as leprosy.
One-seventh of the deaths in the
cities throughout the world are caused
by tuberculosis. and that in the face OF
the assertion Of one of the most emf
nent specialists that when the people
can be reused to comprehend the truth
and to do their duty. I'm two genera
tions a case of consumption will be as
much of a rarity as a case of leprosy
now is" Where lies the fault? 1t lies
with every one who is not aiding In the
fight that is only just starting against
the great white plague; it lies with
every city which has closed its eyes
and ears to the cry for help. Private
sanatoriums are many. but not until
there is a municipal awakening can the
battle with tuberculosis be even said to
be fairly Joined. In our country, New
York Is taking the lead In the fight
against the great white plague, and 1t
will not be long before Chicago has
fallen in line with municipal treatment
of tuberculosis.
Twenty years ago New York's death
rate from tuberculosis was 4.45 thou
sand-now it is 2.79. Then the num-
Der of deaths each year from the white
plague was 6,039, now it is 6,0S6, al
though the population has more than
doubled in the meantime. Twelve years
ago, in New York city, the war against
tuberculosis was set on foot by the
adoption of a system of partially VOL
untary and partially compulsory noti-
fication of the health department Of
cases of tuberculosis. Public institu-
tions were required to report cases
coming under their supervision and
private physicians were requested to
do so. Under this provision the de-
partment Of health carried on the work
for three and a half years and then
notification in all cases. A system Of
notification is the prime requisite in
| fighting the disease. The health de-
partment has prepared maps of the city
showing every house, and on these
maps are plotted every case OF death
from tuberculosis. Thus the centres OF
the infection are reached and with the
aid of the tenement house department
conditions that give rise to the disease
are remedied. The health department,
as soon as it receives notice of death
fl ON tuberculosis, undertakes the most
thorough kind of fumigation Of the
premises, or under proper safeguards,
delegates the duty to the care of the
physician if he is reliable. Each year
sees the lines of this preventive work
drawn more effectively.-Public Opin-
| ion.

How to Swim-The Side Stroke.


Whether a man be swimmer or not, In
taking I'D a new stroke he should begin
with the leg movement only. In the side
stroke it is called the scissor kick To ac-
uuire it And place with water at least
three feet In depth, where you can use
either stationary or floating support.
Take hold Of this support and let your body
rest on the water, on its side, with legs
straight and well together and and feet as If
standing on tiptoe.. Choose the side that
feels most comfortable. Now proceed to
open the legs very slowly not frog fashion,
but front and back, as in walking. The
upper should be brought forward almost
straight, the under, back, bent to a kneeiing
apart snap sharply together.
The position Of the body IL unchanged.
Lie on your side with body and legs In
straight line; both arms perpendicularly
over your head and the palms turned
slightly away from the face. Bring upper
arm down smartly. keeping It rigid at ell
bow and wrist, palm Of hand open, fingers
well together. Carry 1t through the water
circle to end at the thigh then bend arm at
the elbow and bring it forward well above
water, until 1t Is straight before you in the
original position. The under arm should be
through with its stroke. and should be
brought down with force. almost parallel to
it, SO that at the finish 1t brushes the lower
thigh; then 1t is bent at the elbow like the
other and brought forward just below the
surface. The upper arm should rest on the
water, at full reach. while the under one
RECEIVERS, until 1t Is at the height Of the
head.
The action Of the arms, in the side stroke,
entails a rolling motion of the body which
buries the face at every stroke. This neces-
states an artificial way Of breathing which
has to be learned before the stroke can be
swum properly. 1t is advisable to make a
special study of It, Air should be inhaled
through the mouth as the upper arm is be-
ing brought down, and should be exhaled
through the nostrils. under water. while
the arm goes forward. Some find this i'm
possible, even after long practice, and
breathe in and out through the mouth dur
ing the short period that the face is above
water, but if one can acquire the other way
1t Is far the best.
The legs should be opened very slowly
Just as the under arm starts its recovery:
they should be snapped together when the
upper arm Is in the middle of it's stroke If
properly timed the side stroke gives a clean,
even progress, without break or a check.

WAGES IN RUSSIA.
Employer Responsible in Case Of Ac-
cidents-Poor Work, Poor Pay.

Correspondence bO6tOu 1Tdubcfipt
The Russian coal miner is naturally care
less Time is meaningless to him. He lacks
caution in his work and handles explosives
as if they were as harmless as coal. The
government. understanding this character
istic, largely removes responsibility from
the workman and places it upon the en-
ployer by imposing high compensation In
cases of accident. The employer, therefore,
takes extraordinary precautions through
his managers. This system is by no means
a bad one for in presupposing the ignor-
ance and carelessness of undisciplined
workmen the chance for accident is re-
duced to minimum.
The government also protects the chill
dren. No boy may be employed at manual
labor or for full day until he has at
tanned his fifteenth year. At the age OF
thirteen boy may go into an office for
half days. To encourage schooling, boy
who passes the third grade in the common
schools is excused from sixteen months SOL
diering. That such wise laws as these
should be found in connection with an IN
dustry where there are such absurd re-
strictions as. for instance, the preventing
of practical miners from becoming supe-
riors is typically Russian.
The wages of boys amount to about ~
