Some Aspects Of the
tuberculosis Problem
BY DR.. ]. R. Judd.
Observation-Disclosures Aa&.sAss.ss.s4s SIS y y

This represents the sum annually lost
by the nation because of the inability
of these men to work.
The English National Association for
the prevention of consumption finds
that one-eleventh of all the pauperism
costing in England ana Wales fl0,500,'
600 a year, arises from consumption;
that one. fourth of all deaths during the
wage earning age Q5-55) are due to
consumption, leaving many widows and
children to receive aid from poor laws,
societies and charity organizations.
Consumption is so costly to companies
insuring against sickness that in. Ger
many these companies find that it pays
to send 5000 workmen in year tc
sanatora at a cost Of $3.50 a week il
order to restore them to wage earning
power. The German Imperial Insurance
office reports that of every one thou
twenty and twentyfour years who are
rendered unfit for service, 54S are sc
disabled because of tuberculosis. What
is thus true Of Germany would prob
ably hold for other countries, were the
necessary data at hand.
There are yearly more than 10000
deaths from consumption in New York
City. II may be conservatively esti
mated that human life at the average
age at which death occurs is worth t.
the municipality $500. This gives {
total value of the lives lost annual,
of $15,0O0,0OO. We may presume tina
for an average period of at least MIN
months these persons are unable Il
work and must be cared for.
Estimating the value of their services
and the cost of caring for these people
at $3.50 day gives a further loss o
100000 for the municipality making
total loss of at least 100000.
The U. s. Census Reports for 1901
gives the death rate as 1923 death
from tuberculosis per 1000 deaths o
about one-ninth of the deaths from al
known causes.
For the years 1903 to 1907, the fol
lowing figures from our Board o
Health S records are presented and you
attention invited to our high death rat
from tuberculosis.

This diagram especially illustrates
the fact that consumption claims its
victims from among those whose lives
and activities are most needed by the
family and community.
According to nationalities these 759
deaths were divided as follows: Ha-
waiians Gncluding part Hawaiians), As
per cent; Chinese, 20 per cent; Japan
ese, IL per cent; other nationalities,
10 per cent.
The home and the WORKSHOP are gen
orally considered as the two kinds of
enclosures which offer the best en-.
vironment to tuberculosis. Under our
conditions the home is by far the most
common breeding place for the disease,
and too frequently may succeeding
cases of consumption he traced to the
same abode. Tuberculosis is a family
disease because it can so easily be inn
planted around the hearthstone. The
bedroom and next to the bedroom the
diningroom are the parts of the home
most dangerous in this respect In the
bedroom the consumptive spends hi,
last weeks or months-a period during
which the disease is most infections
Often among the poor, the diningroon
is used as the only living place for the
sick one until shortly before his death
The poor move frequently severa
times year. They become discomfort
ed or too poor to pay the rent. If any
member of the moving family be con
sumptive, that apartment and the next
and the Others to which they 90 be
come infected. 1t has been advised
that not only the consumptive but the
apartments in which they have LIVED
should be registered, and that the Law
should require the owners of building
to make such notifications.

This is an average of one-sixth of the
deaths from all known causes, and rep
resents proportionately $50 deaths per
annum for a population of 100000.
The economic loss from tuberculosis
in Honolulu is large even with low
valuation placed upon a human life.
Taking an average of $500 as the earn
ing power sduring the most productive
years, the cost to Honolulu for the year
1906 was approximately $4,000, there
being l24 deaths between the ages of
Is and 60, or about four-ffths of the
entire number.
The age at death for the same period
is shown graphically ON the diagram:

The building of substantial build
ings, which shall house the militia
companies of the state, furnish a
place for their arms and accoutre-
ments, and give them meeting place
In which they feel the sense of pride
of possession, will do much to put
the national guard of the state on a
better basis, and for this reason the
local militia company and its officers
are to be congratulated upon the com
pletion of their armory building. The
state wisely and generously assists
with the construction of these build
ings, but enough is left for the COM
panies to do to insure the construc-
tion of a substantial and suitable
structure. Anything that makes for
permanency insures an improvement
in the national guard. The compile
tion of the local armory should do
much toward deepening the interest
of the members of the company in
their work, toward bringing in new
and desirable enlistments, and in
keeping the standard of the company
hign. Both officers and men are to
be congratulated upon the good work
that has already been done.

North Dakota is the only state in the
country which showed an Increase in
its spring business over the spring Of
1907.
% Wonderful Growth. & HI
doubt if any of us fully realize
how Bismarck has grown the past
year; there have been fully sixty new
houses erected and several business
blocks which have not space to enu-
merate. If we were to take away all
the new houses and all the new bust
ness blocks, hotels and public build
ings erected within the past few
years, we should have mighty empty
looking city. 1t is careful estimate
to state that practically one-third of
our houses have been built within
that time. And still there is not an
empty house and but one empty store
room in the city and this after having
spent over $1,250,000 in new
buildings in two seasons. Those who
have travelled over the state, tell me
that Bismarck is growing faster than
any city in the state. "
Bismarck. has great future and
the Commercial club should make it
greater. In the immediate future we
should work to establish our county
fair and perhaps in time get the state
fair here; we should get a packing
plant started; bring new wholesale
houses here; do something to bring
settlers into the Immediately sur
rounding country. Il
We should work to still further I'm.
crease the feeling of public spirit
among our citizens and among our
selves; there are hundreds of things
to be done and done at once and if
every member of the club will con-
tinue to support your officers in the
coming year as you have the past 1
know that some of these things will
be done. -e 4$@

BECKHAM FAILS TO SECURE
% THE KENTUCKY SENATOR

ARE STILL CONFIDENT
Scattering Democratic Votes. the
Friends Claim, Will Go to

Are Jubilant.

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 15.-Des
pite the result of yesterdays ballot
ing for United States senator, in
which Gov. Beckham failed to Sc
cure enough votes to win, the ex-
governors friends seem to be as
confident as ever and claim that on
the next ballot four of the democrats
that voted scatteringly will vote for
him today and that he will be elect
ed.
The forces opposing Beckham are
jubilant. and say that five or six
more of the democrats will desert
Beckham and thus further empha-
size the hopelessness of Beckham's
fight.
In the senate the ballot resulted;
Beckham IS, Bradley 16, Charles
l.. Wheeler /, John B. Castleman l,
John L. Dodd 1, D. H. Smith ].
In the house the ballot resulted:
Beckham AS, Bradley AS, James N.
Kepoe l. David w. Baird l. One re-
publican was absent and Lilliard
(dem.) of Danville did not vote.
The republicans practically con-
cede that neither Bradley nor any
other republican can win, but that
an anti -Beckham democrat will ul-
/ timately be elected.
To an outsider.it has the appear
ance of a deadlock. which may not
be broken for several weeks.
A joint ballot will be taken each
day until an election is had or the
i legislature adjourns.
The democrats who voted against
Beckham, but for other democrats,
! are as follows: Senators Charlton
and McNutt of Louisville, Campbell
of Paducah and Tabb of Harding
Representative Mueller of Louisville
and Mcknight of Maysville.
