Its work in any city Is the nurse. She
is with the patient when the physician
gives his instruction for the treatment
of the disease. and goes to the patients
house and shows him how that home can

tarium The treatment Of the disease is
after all, largely matter Of right living.
and Is essentially an abundance Of good
food, rest and open air. These conditions
can be secured even in the congested
parts of any city, and 1t is here that the
nurse becomes invaluable, suggesting
ways and means and helping TO carry out
the instructions of the physicians.

cause all germ diseases to disappear from
the earth" says Pasteur, the noted ex
pert, and Il ia in pursuance of this
theory that the hght is being waged 80
bitterly against this worst OF all germ
diseases. Those conducting the fight are
in measure, handicapped by the fact
that most of those suffering from tuber
culosis are breadwinners. and cannot be
hurried of to sanitariums, there TO rest
for months. To meet this exigency small
second story balconies. large enough 70
accommodate n cot, and even hrst-hoof
verandas and back yards where the all
is good, have been converted into sleep
ing rooms. and II is no uncommon thing
to notice these little improvised hospitals
In all parts of any big city.
As In all fights of this kind, some OF
the most important and telling points
against the common enemy are made by
statistics. Figures cannot lie. and those
who are at all liable TO the disease are
usually appalled, by the glaring brutality
Of a few statistics where they are not
at all affected by the eloquence OF learn
ed men. In a city OF 100000 not so many
hundreds Of miles from here, for instance
the health department. got out the fol
lowing table for 1908:
Died from typhoid fever, 90 people.
Died from scarlet fever. Fl people.
Died from diphtheria, 78 people.
Died from measles, 35 people.
Died from consumption, 400 people.
In other words, more than twice as
many people died Of consumption In that
one year than died from typhoid, diph-
liberia, measles and scarlet fever COM
biped. OF the 1876 who died from consump-
ton, 34S were between the ages of 70
and 50-which Is said to be the most
deadly period.
To give just a few more figures: There
are 80, 600 consumptives in the State OF
Pennsylvania alone, more than 1000 OF
them being In the city of Philadelphia.
The 1906 consumptive death rate In the
CITY of Philadelphia was 3,647. and IN
1907 there were gains. In 1905 there were
ten deaths every day from consumption
IN one big city, and conditions as APP
mailing were found in many other cities.
With the work in the various states
and the international Congress, however.
there should soon be change In these
conditions-a decided change for the bet
ter.

sufficiently interested in him to make
further INQUIRIES, yet all who came In

he had earned his soubriquet, for into
every ear "Crazy Luke" poured his tale,
which was to this effect: II am a man

A tourist who desires to spend the
day In travel beneath ground aud water
will ere long be enabled to do SO by fol-
lowing this route; Starting at an early
hour in the morning he could take a
train from the Terminal Building and
cross to Jersey City. going many feet
beneath the bed of the Hudson River,
of course. Breakfast could be had In

been hewn out of solid rock! rs feet be-
meath the concourse and train shed OF

He could either tunnel to Newark or
return by subaqueous route to Manhat-

route. or else take the transverse line
to Hoboken. II he went to Hoboken he

tinue his suDterranean, subauueons ex-
ploration, he would go in the subway 10

under the East River and into Brooklyn.
After exploring the cavern life beneath
the Borough Hall he would be able to
continue under ground to various parts OF
Brooklyn.
The middle of January saw the last

CHOLERA BAD IN
ST. PETERSBURG
RAPID SPREAD OF THE DEADLY
DISEASE CAUSES GREAT
ALARM.
DEAD LYING UNBURIED
SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED AND THE
SCHOOL BUILDINGS USED AS
HOSPITALS.

st. Petersburg.-St. Petersburg is in
the grasp of Asiatic cholera, which al
ready has exceeded in severity and
numbers the visitation of 1898. The
disease is increasing daily at an alarm
ing rate and unless the authorities
show In the future a much greater de-
gree of ability to cope with the sit
uation than they have in the past there
is every reason to fear that 1t will get
out of hand.
The governments threat to apply the
provisions of martial law has driven
the municipality officials to bend all
their energies to clearing the city Of
the scourge. The aldermanic council
has voted s25O,000 to enlarge the hos
pital space. to purchase and distribute
disinfectants, the supply of which in st.
Petersburg is well nigh exhausted, and
TO expedite the interment of bodies,
which has been notoriously slow. The
dead houses are overcrowded and many
corpses lie unburied.
Under his authority the prefect of
st. Petersburf, Gen. Dracheffsky, Sat
urday prohibited the sale of liquor
throughout the city, including the gov
eminent vodka shops, until Sept. 22nd.
A beginning was made Sunday, when
public schools were transformed into
hospital wards.
A number of the grammar schools
were closed and 1900 students sent TO
their homes.
As announced by the official bull
letins. the cases numbered $40 and the
deaths 12S during the twentyfour
hours between Friday noon and Satur-
day noon. This was a considerable de-
crease from the preceding day, but
there is doubt of the accuracy OF the
official statement. The record for the
same twenty-four hours ascertained
from unofficial. but reliable. sources
shows the actual number 10 have been
far in excess of that. Whether or not,
however, there was an actual decrease.
the disease resumed its march Satur-
day, the statistics posted showing that
from Saturday noon until Sunuuy noon
there were 39S cases and l9l deaths.
this being the largest number so far.
II is feared that the cholera will last
another fortnight, being figured on
the basis of former epidemics. All
varieties OF Asiatic cholera have now
developed here. there being numerous
cases OF the Algid type. which is ac-
companied by the greatest suffering.
