Effects Of White Plague
 On Business Interests

The world seems to be awakening to sense of the effect that the dread white plague has upon business and financial conditions. This is seen in the efforts of many large manufactur- CTS to check the spread of the disease among employees by creating more sanitary conditions in the shops. and educating their people to proper care in the homes.
 Consumption is an insiduous disease. often taking a hold on its victim be- fore there is even the slightest suspi- cion of it's presence. It frequently hap pens that an apparently inconsequen- tial cold proves the starting point of the deadly scourge.

A Precsution to Prevent Recurrence
 of the Plague Next Summer.

San Francisco, Jan. 2S.-"Rats must go' was the tenor of speeches made at a mass meeting of citizens held this afternoon on the floor of the Mer- chants Exchange. called for the pur- pose of considering the sanitary con- dition of San Francisco. Among the speakers were Governor Gillette. May or Taylor and pr. Rupert Blue of the United States marine hospital service, who has been conducting the campaign for the eradication of the bubonic plague. All the speakers advocated the necessary reforms in building laws with view to making all structures ratproof. They urged more stringent sanitary regulations with a rigid en- fOrcement by police and health officers and appealed to the citizens to come to the support of the federal and local health authorities by cleaning up their premises. While there is no case now of the plague. the infection among rats had increased considerably; hence the vigorous campaign against rats A general cleaning up is absolutely nee essary to prevent an outbreak of the plague next summer.

PLAN FOR HANDLING
 CURRENT EXPENSES
Method Adopted Yesterday by Board of Directors of the Y. M. C. A.

| The directors of the Y. NJ. C. A held
 meeting yesterday afternoon the pur-
 pose of which was mainly to adopt a | method for paying the current bills
 and to apprise the public of the form | that will be insisted upen, and to out line the financial machinery that takes care of the current business. This is so there may be no misunderstanding
 or loss of time by those having bills
 against the association. and also so the creditors will understand the necessity of complying with these rules.
 All bills against the association should be presented to the general sec
 retary, Mir. Hayes, at his desk in the
 board of trade room on the first day of the month. Here they will be at tached to blank voucher claims that will be printed at once and be then referred to the auditing committee They will if approved be passed along tO the treasurer who will mail checks for the respective bills. He hopes to be able to do this by the 5th of each month.
 In respect of expenditures, the ex- ecutive committee of the board of di- rectors is the only authority warrant ing expenditures. What the committee authorizes will be bought by the gen. eral secretary as its representative. Furthermore that the expenditures may be constantly regulated or known approximately, the finance committee at the beginning of each year makes out budget estimating the necessities for each class of expenditures for the year and naming the amount beyond which the executive committee must not incur bills

Tonight in the Central Christian

course has proven a popular one and
the lecture tonight will be even
better than the former entertainments
For 26 years DR.. Thomas E. Green
has been in this work of studying con-

ucated in college, university and SEM
mary. He has been a teacher and a
newspaper man. His experience is wide
and his knowledge profound and ex-
tensive. He is a magnetic speaker and
his lectures are everyone good.
The name lecture" has become so
distorted that it carries with it a
sense of something which is all right
for some one else, but which bores you
immensely. Not so are DR.. Green's
lectures. From first to last he COM
mands the close attention Of the audi
.ence and his personality is said to be
magnetic.
