The control Of Tuberculosis.

The third annual report OF the Henry
Phipps Institute of Philadelphia, whose
work is the study, treatment and proven
ton of tuberculosis, as summarized BY
Charities and the Commons, presents
many items of interest and encourage
ment to those who are seeking to arrest
the ravages of consumption. One II the
racial susceptibility to the disease. For
eign born citizens brought to the insti-
tute form nearly one-ha1f the burden OF
it's work for the year. The cotntrtes
which sent it the heaviest burdens in or
der of sequence were Russia, Ireland,
Germany, England, Italy, Austria and
Scotland. The same order holds good for
the cases which came from the second
generation, namely, the children born OF
immigrants. Only BIB per cent of all
the patients treated were of native an
cestry one generation back. Children born
of mixed parentage most frequently be
came victims when the union Of parents
was between Irish and native born, and
next between Irish n English. The
claim often made hat tuberculosis does
not exist to any great extent among the
Hebrews is partially borne out by the
mortality statistics in large cities; that
is, while the disease is very prevalent
among the Hebrews it seldom takes on a
fatal form. There seems to be a racial
immunity against the toxine Of the tu-
bercle bacilli, but not against its growth.
The institute finds that the frequency
with which residence is changed by the
consumptive poor constitutes a menace to
public health and furnishes a strong ar
gument in favor of registration of tuber-
c~ulosis. 1t is also urged that disinfec-
ton of houses when vacated by consump-
tiyes, whether by death or removal, should
be practiced everywhere. 1t is interest
ing to note that in Philadelphia every
ward in which an institution for the
treatment of tuberculosis exists showed =
reduction of the death rate from the
disease, while some of the adjoining
wards nave had an increase.

NEW YORK,

Trade and industry have tended toward
quiet in sympathy with reports of finan-
clal unsettlement at New York and a
few other cities, the continuance of mild
weather affecting as it does retail distri-
button, the natural seasonable slowing
down of jobbing trade and the influence
upon retail trade and collections of the
continuance of the holding movement of
crops. On the other hand, the financial
situation at New York, generally speak
ing, seems to be well in hand; the New
York banks, under courageous and expert
enced leadership, are meeting conditions
as they arise with discretion; recent de-
cilnes in prices of cereals and cotton
have encouraged foreign demand for the
~cnuntry's products, the holding Of cotton,
a great exchange-making medium, is
showing some signs of relaxing, and low-
cred prices of domestic commodities lead
To the hope that the demand Of 8 pros
porous country, affected by the unduly
high level of some commodities, will re-
yive.

Convention Of Trust C.rsers.

At Chicago 400 delegates appointed by
State Governors met, under the auspices
Of the National Civic Federation, - dis
cuss the curbing of trusts. President But
kr Of Columbia university, who presided,
made an address, in which he warned
against premature or M-censtdered meas
ures for the regulation Of public services
corporations, lest they disturb shat faith
which civilized man has in hts fellows and
upon which rests the whole enormous
structure Of oIr credit system" He add
ed that il this were destroyed there would
be few corporations Of any kind left to
regulate. At the same time be admitted
that the country was face to face with
new economic conditions and abuses
which must be checked. He thought that
the Sherman antitrust law commits the
nation to = too extreme policy by exalting
competition over cooperation. Many
economists of national reputation took
part in the discussions which followed or
delivered set addresses. Bankers, mer-
chants and labor leaders were also heard.
Judge Grosscup aired his favorite plan
for q national corporation commissien and
Samuel Gompers said that the trade
union was the proper accompaniment OF
the trust. The majority favored soms
form of federal regulation Of all corpora
items. Many Of the delegates Q the
same position as that OF President But-
Ter against the Sherman antitrust law,
1t being the sense of the convention that
the law was more at fault than the trusts

All over the country farmers are fin
ishing up their seasons work and taking
account of profits. Most of them are sat
isfied with the years labors, for, while
crops are not so great in volume as they
have been for the past two or three years,
prices are such that the farmers of the
United States will receive almost $1,000
100000 more for their products than they
got last year.
What this means to the country may be-
guessed when it is reflected that the farm
er is the basis of prosperity. When he is
well of, all men in other occupations are
comfortable. When hard times seize him,
all other lines of business are at once af-
fected. He is the foundation of the ma
tional veal. If the farmer has no money
to deposit in the rural banks, banks have
no money to LEM manufacturers and mer-
chants. If he has no crops, railroads can
not earn dividends. Shortage Of money
at once reduces industry and lowers the
rate OF wages. If it continues, thousands
OF men are thrown out of employment and
misery becomes general.
On the other hand, when the farmer Is
prosperous, money and credit can be OBJ
tanned for merchandising and manufac-
turing, railroads thrive, labor's reward
increases, afluence spreads over the coun-
try. The earth is the mother of all
wealth. Everything man uses comes out
of it originally. and the men who devote
themselves to cultivating the soil are the
medium between earth's riches n the
rest of mankind.
Farmers should be happy as this win
ter draws in. With abundant profits, in
peace and plenty, they can reflect that
their money is clean. They have not
grown rich through robbing other men.
They have created wealth. Every dollar
they possess represents SO much more to
feed and clothe humanity, SO much more
of comfort and happiness.
The American farmer ought to be com
Portable in mind as well as in body. The
soil has given him a competence. He has
paid of his mortgage long ago. He has a
good home and owns his broad acres. He
has a balance in the bank, and as he looks
forward he can see plenty in the future.

Hard Luck of . F~1sherman Who Had
Caught Thirty-Three Weakash.

in the waters hereabours and fishermen
have had hne sport catching them, but
hard luck came the other day to one
angler in Gravesend Bay after he had

Sun.
He was fishing from a small boat,
and as fast as he drew the weakhsh In
he would string them through the gils
on a line which he kept hanging over
the side Of the boat down in about six
feet of water, where the water was
cool and the fish would keep well. It
was certainly good fishing, but just
after he had let the thirty-third weak
fish slide down to the bunch and made
the line fast inboard and started DISH
