MORE LIFE-SAVING PHILAN.
THROPY BY HENRY PHIPPS.

The announcement in Philadelphia
on Wednesday evening that Henry
Phipps, the partner of Andrew Carnegie
in the steel business, viii give to every
Philadelphia hospital one dollar for
every day an advanced consumptive Is
treated in such an institution brings to
public notice new detail of this mans
practical philanthropy.
Scientists now maintain that control
Of tuberculosis will only be possible
through control of all advanced cases.
These are in most instances the foci
from which the White Plague spreads.
Incipient cases do not throw off rany
of the bacilli that produce the amlady.
These things being known, the prob
lem has been, How shall the advanced
cases be taken from their homes
Washington provided in part for them
by a hospital for INDECENT tuberculars.
DIR. Lawrence T. Flick, of Philedlphia,
worked out a plan whereby the State
of Pennsylvania, by aPpropriating ST.
100000 annually could place in hospi-
tals having wards especially fitted for
such cases virtually all advanced con
sumptives, these institutions receiving
pay from the State at the rate of one
dollar per day for each patient. That
bin failed of passage.
The idea appealed to Mr.. Phipps so
strongly, how ever, that he has resolved
to try out the experiment in PhiladeI-
phia. The problem of getting the con
sent of the advanced eonsumptives and
their families TO this segregation and
of fitting up isolated and Infection
proof wards in the hospitals are now
being worked out by competent scien-
fists and humanitarians.
If the expectations of DR.. Flick and
his associates of the Phipps Institute
for the Study, Prevention, and Treat
ment Of tuberculosis shall be realized.
Philadelphia, as a consequence of this
latest munifcence of the steel king
viii be placed ahead of Washington
among the cities in the crusade against
the greatest plague of modern eiviliza-
tion.

Sun Foe To Disease
Another argument in favor OF the
idea as tending to increase the nation
health is this: Physicians and scientists
are finding that sunlight and daylight
are vigorous fOSs OF disease. They are
urging their patients to get out into the
daylight and the open places. Mansr

actually present diseases.
For these daylight and fresh air Of

two hours of daylight2

whether he be rich or poor, cSn spend

Good Business Proposition.
| Considered from an economic point
( Of view or from that of a business
propOsition-snd I prefer TO get away
! from that point Of view as neither my
self nor those interested in the move
ment with nae are aetuated by selfish
motivcs-the daylight idea is 8 good
business proposition. BY giving two
additional hours OF daylight Il would
draw people 10 suburban places a3d
enhance the value of suburban realty.
1T would add to the earnings or
steam and electric railway corporations
in manner perfectly obvious. It
would encourage outdoor sports and In
crease the sale OF equipment used il
the sports 1t would give a big boost
TO our national game.

Today the city presents a brilliant

scarcely ever eGualed by any city Of

MORE DAYLIGHT ADVOCATE
COMING TO SEEK TAFT'S
SUPPORT.
SUPPORT.

CINCINNATI, May 15-If enthusiasm
and a thorough belief in the justice Of
his cause and the far-reaching value
OF his idea can accomplish anything,
Z. H. Mur1Ock, president Of the Ma
tional Daylight Association, and one of
the most successful business men of
Cincinnati, will be rewarded by the
ultimate adoption of his plan to add
two hours OF daylight to the days
schedule Of the land.
Mr. Murdock recently returned from
England. where he made an especial
study OF the daylight agitation, and be-
lieves conditions here are pertinentiy
susceptible to its application.
He viii visit Washington on Monday
and explain to President Taft the
benefits OF the system If the Govern
ment bureaus would make a trial of
the more daylight schedule, Mr.. Mur-
dock believes the whole country would
learn of it's great advantage. Hence
he will seek to convert the President
and win his cooperation.
Benefits Seen In England.
He discussed his idea enthusiastically
with The washington Times cores
pondent today, and among other things
said:
when 1 was in England recently the
brightest impression I received was the
immense pleasure and benefit the longer
days afforded to all classes. There
night does not settle down in the
warmer months until about 10 o'clocSs
It is said the English are the moy
athletic race in the world, and I be
lieve the statement is true. WSll, fos
nv part, believe that the condition
is accounted for largely because Of the
longer hours OF daylight Englishmen
have to be out Of doors and busy at
their sports and heaIthful pleasures.
There is no reason whatever for
exactly similar conditions not being
reproduced here in America. The
means is exceedingly simple 1t is
siuply to advance the clocks two
hours, and there ysu have your two
hours added to the length Of your
evenings This change could be inaug-
urated each year on May L and custom
revert to the old condition. the one We
now have, on October l.
Value To Nations Health.
Viewed from the standpoint OF a
change tending to increase the health Of
the nation generally the value Of the
idea cannot be exaggerated or Overestl-
mated. II Is said continually that the
laws of the country are made for the
benefit of the majority That being so,

If YOU DISTRUST THE KIOSK.
TRY THE TREE FROG.

Already is there a new crop of jokes
concerning the weather kiosk some
time since put up between the Munic-
ipal Building and this office We hope,
for the sake of the much suspected
weather men, that the spot was not
blessed by Jsnsh.
But any one who distrusts the
Weather Bureau kiosk car have re
source to the tree toad. In Germany,
its native place, this animated barom-
eter is known as the weather frog.
If bad weather is coming, it croaks;
if not, then it has nothing to say at
all.
a New York importer has just re-
ceived a large consignment of these
barometrical curios and he says they
are becoming popular over here. Pos
sibly they are. Washington may be
full of them. But we know that they
are not half 50 popular as the Weather
Bureau critics. Since Inauguration day
"Old Prob" has been treated like an
unpopular umpire or a standpatter.
The importer in question AYERS that
the best thing about the tree frog is
that it's reliable He may think he is
booming the tree frog by saying this
but we don't. The people, alas, are
too distrustful. 1t would have been
much better to say that the tree frog
lis fashionable. Then it wouldn't mat
ter whether it had any worth or not.

one who realizes that the business of

cumbent upon President Taft TO remain
in the Executive offices from O'Clock
in the morning until or o'clock in

In the days when Charles Warren
Fairbanks was Vice President he was
extremely careful to be at the Capitol
every hour that the Senate was in ses-
sion. He would not leave washington
to attend a function OF any kind, how
ever important. He would not think
