Those Who Die Too Soon.

From the New York Times.
A youth VINO dies before he is self-sup-
porting represents financial loss to those
who paid for his nurture. A self-sup-
porting man who dies prematurely loses
to his family and to the community his
earnings and expenses while sick. and
the value of his earnings between the date
of death and the end OF his probable
life less cost OF maintenance. That is
the measure of economic interest which
the state and individuals have in those
who die too soon tuberculosis is pre-
ventable. Prof. w. F.. Wilcox has com
piled table OF its annual cost in the
state report on deaths for 1907. The
average earnings OF 6O40oO male wage
earners above sixteen years was 1919 In
1905. and of 9S,012 clerks. salaried Off
Gals. and firm members 81 1874, making a
total average OF S657 for those engaged in
manufacturing. Allowing for the 40s, 600
In domestic and personal service the 364
600 In agriculture the 657 900 in trade and
transportation, and the los 900 in the pro-
LESSONS between the ages of sixteen and
sixty-four. Prof. Wilcox computes an
average wage TOR adult males to be at
least 81 day. The net earnings of a
woman in the manufacturing industries
are not less than 80 cents day
Taking these wage estimates and apply
ing discount for present value OF 81
per cent. Prof. Wilcox finds that the
prospective earnings lost by premature
deaths from tuberculosis in this state In
1907 were for men S56, o2J go, and Sl5,-

been more general in the middle of the

volume had embossed pages of various
colors, and showed alternate literature
and aboriginal verses and drawings OF
ruins and bridges heightened with white
chalk. Girls presented ii for contributions
so universally that Charles Dickens was
on one occasion much astonished to find
none forthcoming. He had actually
brought with him some verses addl esSed
to beautiful maiden on whose pa EMS
he was calling. and he carried them away
again. Sending them TO her BY post hs
