ECONOMIC ERROR IN
MATTERS OF HYGIENE

Washington, Aug. IA special
problem undertaken by the national
commission on the conservation CT
health is the relief of those who are
lncapit; te d for work. There is 4 con-
siderable number Of these in various
parts Of the country. At one end Of
the social scale is the tramp, who
doesn't work from choice, d Id at the
other end is the man whose inherit
cd wealth makes his life useless and
lille. Some kind of work would
bring hcalh and happiness fn buth
c"se:, but the commission on the con-
sci T&tiot Of antional vitality DID got
hay" tI,se Il mind, Dl. thcve WHO
suffer CHI onjc fatigue, as people in
the South are victims Of the hook
Worm,' or those who suffer from au-
to-thtoxication. People Of this Kind
are at low degree OF efficiency and
little realize it. Over exertion
through a working day of undue
length also produces a state Of over
fatigue and incites to excuses in the
use Of means for deadening fatigue,
says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
A part of the mission Of the com
mission on health Is therefore to en-
nance the economic value Of human
life and endeavor by conserving
health and efficiency. There are
probably constantly Ill in the United
States about 100000 persons" says
this commission. If the majority Of
these were we'll and active there
would be great saving In economic
value to society. BY tables, more or
less conjectural, because no adequate
statistics of earnings are available, it
is estimated that the economic value
for an average persons who succum bs
to preventable death is at least 81 =,
700 net worth less cost OF mainten
ance. Applying this to the annual
postponable deaths, estimated at
$50, 900, the annual waste become
about 1,000,000,000. This repre-
sents the annual loss OF potential
,earnfngs cut off by death.
When the same principle Of est
mate iS applied to the 100000 per
sons always on the sick list the fur
Their loss Of $500,000,000 is found
making the aggregate economic los;
from death and disease to be $500,
100000, at a very low estimate. Sup
pose this could be saved by the re
duction of disease and mortality. A,
one line Of the general conservation
program, it would mean q great in
crease in wealth. But wealth dis
tributed equitably on some principle

THE DEMOCRATS OF THE
HOUSE IN LEADERSHIP SCRAP

sNt Washington, Aug. 11.-During the
\ heat of, the debate on the tariff bill
nearly every one lost sight Of the diff
ferences existing among Democratic
members OF the House. These differ
$enceS grew out of the fight against
the rules at the beginning Of the ex-
ira session In which Champ Clark,
minority leader, was deserted by a
number OF Democrats who followed
! Representative Fitzgerald Of New
\ York. The bitterness which cropped
out In that fight has not abated and
unless all signs fail it will grow
worse instead Of better.
1Fitxgerald's following is composed
almost entirely Of Northern UemD-
Gratis and they make no secret Of their
Intention to wage warfare on Clark
from now on. They were regular
on the tariff question, not because OF
the leadership Of Clark, but because
of party, loyalty, and they PROBABLY
will be regular ON most Of the QNes-
lions which require their votes dur
Ing the Sixty-first Congress. But
they will be busily engaged in plan.

Multiplying Anniversaries.

With the passage Of the first de-
cade of the twentieth century there
Is ushered In continuous perform
ance Of anniversaries. The tercen-
tenary Of the discovery of Lake
Champlain and the two hundred and
fiftieth anniversary Of the founding
OF Greenwich have just been cello
brated. These big figures prove that
the United States Is really "getting
on" In the matter of years. The
four hundredth anniversary Of the
discovery OF America mas already
been celebrated, and in q few years
there will arrive the first of a long
series Of events occurring, 200, $50,
300 and 400 years ago. 1t will be
only little more than another de-
cade before the three hundredth
year since the landing Of the Pill
grims will .be celebrated. In 1915
will come the three hundred and fif-
tfeth anniversary Of the founding OF
the Oldest city, In the United States,
while a few years later will bring
the four hundredth anniversary OF
the great epochal discoveries Of the
Mississippi the Pacific Ocean, ETC.
In the meantime there has already
been begun a )ong series Of flftieth
anniversaries' Half century ago

hanged, and that inaugurates the

malls. Coincidentally will z'come the

the present minority leader for
speaker. They are counting upon a
sufficient number of Democratic ra-
cruits from the west to offset the
strength Of the Southern members
who have been loyal to Clark. They
will accuse Clark OF having thrown
away countless opportunities to make
an effective fight on the tariff bill ana
they will charge that the minority
leader is more interested in his Chan
tauQua engagements than ne is in
his congressional work.
Clarks pronounced favoritism to.
ward Southern members, the insu:
gent Democrats declare, will be suf-
ticicnt to deprive him Of the support
new members not from that section.
Fitzgerald will in all probability be
the man selected by Clark's enemies
to lead the fight, and while in New
York representatives differences With
his leader are confined almost entire
ly to the rules his friends predict
that he will not hesitate to undertake
the fight to depose Clark. He is re-
garded as one Of the cleverest mem
bers OF the House, and one whose
knowledge Of the rules and parlia-
mentary law would enable him to
take advantage of every opening that
might be given him.

being located in Clay. The tract
comprises some 4,60O acres that was
bought up In small parcels about

In 1908 Mr.. Guffey sold the property,
% separate deeds being recorded in

, North Shore is going to be "a little

going to carry is we'll able to speak
for itself. A few of the more prom
inent items include rife and sling,
bayonet and scahbord, cartridge
belt, suspenders, first aid packet and
pouch to be worn on the small OF
the back. blanket, rollstrap, haver-
sack, meat can, cup, knife, fork and
spoon. No blouse or overcoat will
be allowed on the hike, and there
are few mourners over this fact.
In addition this kit will include
poncho, two, pairs Of socks, towel
underwear, comb and brush, tooth
brush, soap, half shelter tent, shelter
tent pole and five tent pins. This IS
officially known as Tight marching
order" but some OF the guardsmen
are bewailing the fact that it leaves
no room for various articles that
have heretofore been considered in
dispensable in the way of the SOL
decks, hymn books, current novels,
looking glasses, mineral and Joy

However, there is bit of consola-
ton held out to the District guards
men. These same conditions will
prevail among the militia of New

on days march is fifteen miles and
each marching man will be allowed
six pints Of water.
