PHYSICAL Tests For Employes.

One OF the leading railroad com
pnnies In the East has decided to
establish a rule for physical tests
before employing men which will be
as severe as that required for enter.
ing the army or navy. This decision
is based on the new Federal en-
ployers' liability act, passed by the
last Congress, the railroad taking
the position that in order to avoid
the payment Of heavy damages II
will be necessary to require a high
er degree Of efficiency among en-
ployes than heretofore.
The travelling public will be pleas
ed to learn of the new rule. AS a
general proposition, railroad men arc
a rugged lot, but the reports OF the
interstate commerce commission
show that many accidents are traced
to the physical inefiiciency of rail.

the transportation and care of hui
man lives are required to show 9

CONSUMPTION COSTS us A BILLION A YEAR.

money. The minimum cost of doc

each case, while the earning power
which might have been If death had
not come brings the total cost to at
least $4,000 for each individual
If this sum is multiplied by the
$4,000 deaths, the cost, 1t is seen,
is bigger than the immense sum OF

timated that over half this cost falls

cost to others than the consumptive

Suffering from an overabundance
of superfous adipose tissue
This is the diagnosis OF the Emer-
gency Hospital physicians in the case
of Miss Mary Knox, "A years old, ,
feet inches tall, weighing $50
pounds.
The woman's case was brought to
the attention of the police at No.
station late yesterday afternoon.
1t was said that she was helpless,
penniless, and really fit subject
for the county home. The patrol
wagon took Miss Knox to the Emer-
gency Hospital, where after a thor
ough examination. the foregoing was
agreed upon.
1T is an odd case" said Or. W..
l.. Gist Miss Knox is too fat to
walk without assistance, as she would
fall if she encountered the least OBJ
struction. Then when she is down
she can't arise without help. The
police say neighbors have been car
ing for the helpless woman for some
time"
Ten years ago Miss Knox is said
to have been as 1.-THE and slender

made any difference; she was des-

Washington, d. C.-Professor Irv-
ing Fisher, of Yale University, read a
paper before the International Con-
gress on tuberculosis which created
decided sensation. Professor Fishers
paper was on THE Cost of Tubercu-
losis," and he made the startling an
nouncement that the great white
plague costs in hard cash over one
billion dollars year.
He estimated that consumption
kills $4,000 persons every year in
the United States. This is equal, he
said, to the deaths from typhoid
fever, diphtheria, appendicitis, mem
ingitis, diabetes, smallpox and cancer
all put together. Then again, he said,
it generally takes three years to die,
during which time the poor victim can
earn little or nothing.
Five million people now living in
the United States are doomed to fill
consumptives' graves unless some-
thing can be done to prevent it," de-
clared Professor Fisher. "As each
death means anxiety and grief for a
whole family, l estimate that there
will be over twenty million persons
rendered miserable by these deaths"
The scourge, he said, picks out its
victims when they are young men and
young women, at the very time of life

Washington, d. Accidents in
coal mines of the United States dur
ing the last calendar year resulted in
the death of 1925 men, and injury to
1915 more, according to statistics
just made public by the Geological
Survey The death record among the
coal miners during the year was
greater by 1893 than in 1906, and is
said to have been the worst year in
the history of the coal mining indus
try. The figures do not represent the
full extent of the disasters, as re-
ports were not received from certain
States having no mine inspectors.
West Virginia reported the heaviest
death rate in 1907, 1895 per thou
sand employees, and this State also
showed the lowest production for
each life lost-65, $50 tons. New
Mexico stood next on the list with a
death rate of 11.45 and production
of 1882 tons for each life lost. Ala

whole, trade, though in few in

chases. Western trade advices are
good as whole. though house trade
is on the wane, and travelling sales
men are relied upon to take care of

There is very general agreement
that stocks are small in retailers

the many orders given for immediate
shipment. which throws unusual bur
dens in turn upon jobbers, whole

There Is rather more doing at the
