SALT-RISING BREAD is LIKED

a reyolution in bread making has taken
place in Kansas, and Gov. Stubs is re-

During the campaign last fail. IN more
than 100 speeches. he extolled the virtues
OF old-fashioned salt-rising bread. He
told his audience that the strength and
endurance which enabled him TO travel
day and night in al kinds OF weather
were due TO the fact that he ate salt
rising bread at home three times a day.
He recounted al all his meetings how

II some OF her patches failed 10 rise. he
said: they were thrown out 10 the chick

TO the women Of his audiences TO discard
the old yeast plan of making bread and
try salt rising.
Gov Stubbs' Democratic opponents. and
many Republicans. treated this talk about
salt-rising bread as a new brand OF Kan

The White Plague.

II is disquieting TO learn, from speakers
at the tuberculosis convention, begun here
yesterday, that the disease is not de-
creasing. despite all the apparent ad-
vance in its study and in the provision OF
means for fighting it. The statistics quot
ed by Mr.. Folk emphasize the need Of
more thorough organization of the pre-
ventive measures and the provision of
more liberal funds by states for the care
of the sick Census returns show that
each year $4,000 persons die Of this dis
ease in the United States. Science has
declared without qualification that "con-
sumption" being communicable, is pre-
ventable. These deaths may be regarded
as unnecessary. a social drain not re-
quired by the laws of nature. The eco
nomic losses involved are enormous, in
production, in home making, in education,
in morals. 1t has been said that con-
versely il may be said to be cause of
poverty and all the social Ills which pow
erty produces.
Mr. Folk said that to care for the con-
sumptives in this country there are only
1900 beds, less than one-tenth OF the
number of sufferers in need of treatment.
At least $1,000 more beds are urgently
required, at an annual cost OF $37. 500 600.
The people of the United States can sure
ly spend an average Of less than 80 cents
each in order to insure decent and, what
is infinitely more important, safe treat
ment of those who. under the existing

The Racing Game Again.

The other day higher court decision
was rendered in New York declaring
.'oral betting permissible under the law,
and one of the large race tracks in the
metropolitan district was promptly
opened. Here Is an extract from a news
report of the first days racing:
THE decision of the appellate division
of the supreme court declaring that 1t is
no crime for one man to bet with an
other provided there is no record made
of such transaction which would bring
il under the awful designation of gam
bling was conformed to strictly. OF
course, there was no gambling-not q bit
of it. but, boys, there was an awful lot
of betting. Few persons at Belmont Park
cared whether there was a difference or a
mere Photographed distinction between
a recorded wager and an oral one. They
put their money down on the ever-lovable
gee-gees, and, remarkable to say. most of
it went on right,
So the game starts once more, and no
one can forsee the finish. OF course
the ''oral betting system will be worked
to the limit of the laws permission.
There will be, In the language of the
reporter just quoted. IAN awful lot of
betting Hundreds of thousands of dol
lars will change hands weekly at the
tracks and the poolrooms will unques-
tionably flourish again. Is there any
language that can define race track
gambling in such a manner that the pro-
hibition will prohibit?

Base Ball and the Boy.

From the New York World.
In view of the attempt at Pittsburg to
set a minimum age limit on base ball, II
seems likely that the mollycoddle has OBJ
tanned a foothold in the Fairgrounds As
sociation of America. Fortunately crisis
was averted. The weaklings who pressed
the claims Of prisoners base and hide
and-go-seek were too few and too funny
to be taken seriously. The majority
squelched them firmly but kindly. with
the hope, perhaps, that they might yet
be moved to learn something about base
ball and about boys. One protestant drew
almost with tears the picture OF suffer-
ing seven-year-old swinging heavy bat
and demanding the pitching Of curved
balls. We hesitate to think what the pre-
cocious youngster would say of himself
as such an object lesson. The same dele
gate insisted that they talk OF Hans
Wagner and Christy Mathewson before
they can lisp their evening prayers
Alright" Which may be sometimes true.
though 1t was nigh to high treason to
find fault with it in Hans own city. Prob
ably - is true. also. though no delegate
spoke OF it, that half dozen boys of
almost any age can tell who pitches for
the "Cubs," the Chants" the Yankees
or the Tigers to one who can tell who
presides over the United States Senate.
Yet we shall not suppress the base ball
interest OF the rising generation in order
to develop more intelligent voters

conditions, are malevolent centers OF m
fection, continuing the vicious circle OF
disease and its spread.
A note of local warning Is SOUNDED oy
Mr. Nathan Straus, who has for years
been working philanthropically to aiievi-
ate the ills of impoverished humanity In
New York city. He has made speciality
of providing pure milk for children and
may be regarded as an expert in the rela-
ton between the dairy and the public
health He declares that one out OF every
eighteen samples of milk obtained in the
local market was tuberculous. and he
urged a more rigid inspection Of the milk
supply.
If. as Mr.. Straus asserts, the last two
years have shown an increase Of 33 per
cent in the number of cases of tubercu-
losis in New York city. plainly the prob
lem of prevention remains far from So
luton. 1t may be that the cause of this
increase lies in the lack of effective milk
laws. or in the greater congestion OF the
population, or in the failure of the munich
pality to provide the proper means of
segregation. The fact that in this day,
with the sanitarians of all lands concen-
a cure and upon the provision of pallia-
tive and preventive measures, the disease
not only fails to diminish, but actually
increases at a heavy ratio renders the
tuberculosis problem the most acutely i'm
portant one now before the civilized ma
tions
