Fighting Great White Plague

Kansas City Journal: To make
the fight against the great white
plague most effective was the object
OF the International Tuberculosis
congress, recently held in Washing
ton. There was much discussion OF
plans and theories, but the final con-
clusion OF every speaker was that
the fight for the prevention of this
monsters progress must be made in
the homes of people. Measures were
adopted to bring about the education
of the people in the various coun-
tries represented.
America has adopted q most un-
ique and characteristic plan of edu-
eating its people along these lines.
Although the congress is over scarcei
ly month or more, already the
streets of New York, Boston, Chi
cago, and other great human hives
ring with the music OF the talking
machines which are being used to
spread the anti-tuberculosis propa-
ganda. This method is simple and
effective. The machines are brought
from place to place on vehicles; the
program opens with the rendition of
The Battle Cry of Freedom" or
OF some similar martial air, This.
collects the crowd. When the OPP
orator is satisfied with the size Of
mis- audience, he removes the musical
record from the machine and substi-
tutes a record that tells of the prop
err mode of living. This is what
the eminent German specialist, Dr.
Koch, calls preaching the gospel of
fresh air and sanitation"
DR.. John s. Fulton, the secretary
OF the tuberculosis congress, says
that the system of education which
has been inaugurated will be intro
duced everywhere in the United
states as soon as the necessary funds
are available In speaking of this
subject he said, few days ago: "The
foundation of the fight against tu-
berculosis and its kindred diseases
must be made in the home, When
the mothers of the country learn
to know their responsibility in this
matter the spread OF tuberculosis
will be stopped II we can educate
the people in their homes and on
the street to full realization of the
necessity for healthful, clean sur
roundings and plenty of fresh air, it
will not he necessary for us to worry
about legislation. When the people
realize the necessity for It, It will
comeAn its own good time"

died poor and in spite OF business
rivalry which looked at first insur-
mountable to those who undertook
the task OF combining efforts OF man
uIacturc, The control Of the dressed
meat business in the United States
was not acquired in day and II grew
up from the humble beginnings OF
group OF Chicago brokers who
used 10 buy from the slaughter
houses, store the meat in cellars and
trust TO demand to raise the price
sufficiently to make a profit,
The Farmers union may fail a
half dozen times and yet eventually
succeed, but the chances, looking at
IL from our present point of view,
seem TO be against such an outcome,
For past experience has spelled
failure for every attempt made 10
corner or control nearly every raw
agricultural product that ever at
tracted the attentions OF spectators.
Wheat and corn giants have arisen
scores OF times, only to be over
whelmingly crushed by some unex-
pected turn in weather, or credits, or
failure OF sources OF aid depended
upon. The government of Brazil has
just lost millions OF dollars after an
attempt TO control the coffee market
OF the world and II has left on its
hands thousands OF bags OF coffee
which must he sold at further loss.
Our experience to this date seems
to show that manufactured products
can be controlled and the prices can
be regulated by the producer, but we
do not seem to have developed the
skill or the knowledge necessary to
apply similar methods to raw pro.
ducts.
Perhaps in their own way and in
their own time the farmers will
work out new achievement in the
art of marketing, a plan OF control
whereby success will eventually
come.
If they do succeed after the UNI
broken record OF failures that has
preceded them they will he entitled
to all the rewards the accomplish
ment may bring.

DR.. Koch, who has done as much
along scientific lines for the eradi-
cation of disease as any other indi-
vidual now alive, engaged in animat-
ed discussion Of scientific theories
with the other delegates. They
talked earnestly and Interestingly on
matters OF a purely technical nature,
but all were agreed that the basis
of effectiveness in their fight re-
mains with the women OF the worSl.
A very interesting exhibit at the
congress, and one that was more APP
preciated than any other, showed two
rooms used for sleeping purposes. 1t
was an object lesson in the develop
ment Of the idea that expensive sur
roundings are not always the most
healthful. The unsanitary room was
furnished in heavy pushes and bro
cades, while the sanitary room was
painfully severe in its simplicity.
There were many marked differences
between the rooms.
The sanitary room was clean, the
furniture was not loaded down with
heavy germ-collecting upholstering
Above all things, the room was
cheerful, we'll aired and lighted. The
other room was, despite its rich
furnishings. cherries, dark aud
gloomy. The very atmosphere Of
the room affected the visitors, and
many a mother learned through this
object lesson more about sanitation
than she ever knew before.
Organizations of women of a ma
tional character have undertaken the
work OF spreading tuberculosis in
formation to their sisters throughout
the country. The National Fedora

sented at the congress by delegates
and is pledged to do everything pos
sible toward the education of the
people, The Daughters OF the Am

lief Corps and the Daughters Of the
Confederacy have, through their Of
ficers, expressed their desire to CO.
operate in this worldwide movement.

CHINA NOW OCCUPIES
CENTER OF WORLD STAGE
Death Of WeakGng Emperor Brings to
Mind the Coming Constitution

The death OF the Chinese emperor
and mother brings to mind that
yard, brings 10 the public mind that
important question IN Chinese af-
fairs, the proposed Chinese consti-
tuition, Tue Literary Digest has the
following.
The pew Chinese constitution
whose approaching advent was treat
ed In our issue Tor October 10 (p.
49S), Is being worked out, we learn,
largely through the efforts OF
Tchang-tche-tong, VINO has been
styled the Chinese RichelIeu,' as
the leader both in the literary and
political advancement OF his country.
The Hamburger Naehrlchten gives a
full account Of the provisions OF the
constitution, Tor whose details the
Chinese prime minister has obtained
the sanction OF the emperor. This
account may be summarized as fol-
lows:
China " 10 have parliament
whose first session will he held IN
1915 The power Of voting supplies
and Imposing taxes will be placed in
the hands OF this representative body.
To these fundamental powers many
others are added IN the document
promulgated at Pekng under the au-
thority of Tchang-tche-tong and at
tested by the seal OF the emperor.
Law-abldlng Subjects Of the middle
kingdom are to have liberty OF
speech, liberty OF the press, aud lib
crty OF assembly, A genuine nabeas-
corpus statute Is established and no
onefean henceforth be arrested and
imprisoned excepting as the result OF
legal procedure and for some defi-
mite Illegal offense. Nor can a con.
Wet be subjected to any punishment
excepting that prescribed by law.
No one IL to be disturbed In the pos
session of his house or property
without the decree of a properly con-
court. Every subject OF the
emperor is bound 10 pay the con-
stistutionally imposed taxes and
serve In, the army or navy when re-
quired.
The power TO summon, dissolve or
adjourn parliament is to be placed
in the hands OF the executive. But
when once popular assembly has
beon elected by the constituencies OF
the country, China is never afterward
to be governed without one. The
executive department, which includes
the emperor and his minister's, Is
also to have the control and COM
mand OF the military and naval
forces, the power to declare war, to
make peace, and to negotiate trea-

PLAN WIDENING
OF 7HOROUGHFARES
CITY ENGINEER HAS SEVERAL
SCHEMES UNDER WAY
Maple, Waterloo, Main, Hoover, Mo.
meta and Compton Are Next
Avenues to Receive
Attention

The board of public works is taking
steps to push a number of street
widening propositions.
This week City Engineer Homer
Hamlin presented to the board pencil
drawings of the proposed lines for
widening Maple avenue from Ninth to
Adams street.
William Miles, who owns the land at
the southeast corner of Maple and
Washington street, has informed the
city engineer that he wishes to be con-
suited with regard to this proposed
opening. The map Is now before the
board for confirmation or modification.
Information is wanted by the city
engineer as to the limits of the assess
ment district for widening Waterloo
street from Bellevue avenue to Kent
street. AS to the land to be condemned
1t was originally a public street, but
was vacated by the city council on
April 20, 1894, and is now assessed to
the owner of land adjacent on the west.
He also wishes to know the limits of
the assessment district for the pro-
posed widening of Main street to a
width of eighty feet from Los Angeles
river to the first angle west.
Data is wanted as to the limits of the
proposed assessment district for the
opening and widening of Hoover street
from Thirty-secQnd to Jefferson street.
Another widening project is of Mo-
meta avenue, from Thirty-seventh street
to Slauson avenue to a width of 100
feet.
Compton avenue is to be widened to
eighty feet from Vernon avenue to
Slauson avenue.

PASTOR SAYS TIMES
ARE GREATLY IMPROVED
Many Men Find Positions and Great
Amount Of Work, Requiring
Many Men, VIII Soon
Be Started

AS result of the thorough canvass
ing of the country, Rev. Dana Bartlett
Of the Bethlehem institutions said last
night his impression was the tide had
turned In the labor situation and that
things are slowly going back to their
normal conditions.
A number of jobs requiring many
men are soon to be opened, principally
among the beet sugar factories, where
many hundreds of men will soon be
employed. The Los Angeles-Pacific, In
starting work on its roads, has materi-
ally helped the situation, and there are
several street jobs to be started In the
near future. A number of small houses
are soon to be built, many people TAX
ing advantage of the low rates.
Rev. Mr.. Bartnett said last night he
expected that within the next three or
four weeks all common laborers would
be at work. but that 1t would be many
months before the men could work
back into their trades.
Almost all the unmarried Mexicans
have been put to work, and the free
feeding has been stopped. There are
still a large number of families which
are being cared for by Rev. Mr.. Bart
lett and his workers. To these families
the times are looking as hard as ever,
and the number Is increasing. Many
are getting to the point where they
can no longer pay their rent and where
they have sold many pieces of house,
hold furniture to help things along be-
fore asking for charity.
Rev. Mr.. Bartlett still asks the pub
lie to do everything possible to allevi-
ate the condition of these people.
