IT IS not without good reason
that the country is becoming arous-
ed over the cost of preventable
diseases. Here is the yearly bill
which an expert estimates that we
pay for three great typical Ameri-
can diseases; tuberculosis, ST ,ooo,-
900, 900. typhoid, $35o,ooo, 900;
malaria, $Ioo, 900, 900. In October
1907, Pittsburg had 63s typhoid
cases. In the same month Of the
following year, with an improved
water supply, there were only
pinety-six cases. That means that
we could save three hundred mill
Jon dollars a year by preventing
most OF the typhoid cases, if we
would. And it begins to appear
that we will. The waste has been
put by another authority in this
graphic fashion; Every seven
years we waste on disease and sick
ness ofvarious sorts. all Of which
could be prevented, enough to pay
for the Panama Canal, to duplicate
our army and navy equipment, tc
deepen all our inland waterways,
to double our shipping and com
merce, to pay our national debt, tc
abolish taxes, and to put billion
dollar surplus in the national treas
ury." Truly the gold mine of to-
day is to be found in living, no,
merely the simple life, but the
wholesome life.

LEAVENWORTH
 PRISON BURNS
FIVE HUNDRED DESPERATE CON. viCTS HELD IN CHECK BY
 SOLDIERS DURING FIRE.
SOLDIERS FIGHT THE FIRE.
Water Pressure So Low Fire Depart ment is of LittIe Heip-Two
 Soldiers Hurt.

Leayenworth. KanF-The military prison at Fort Leavenworth was par tially destroyed by Are Wednesday. The prisoners were removed from the cell house under a heavy guard of United States troops and confined in stockade. None of the prisoners de- camped, so far as a hasty resume of the situation showed, but this may not be definitely known until later.
 Owing to the low water pressure, the fire department was almost use- less. The fire was fought by the sol diers of the fort, who were ordered out of their quarters. and those who were on leave in the city were at once called back to the fort Two soldiers were injured, while fighting the flames, but no prisoner was hurt. Much excitement attended the re- moval of the prisoners many of whom are desperate characters. It was feared they would make an organized break for safety.
 The fire broke out about 10 o'clock at night in the tailor shop, and soon it was seen that the building was doomed. A great cry at once broke out in the prison. the convicts fear ing they would be burned to death. They battered on the doors of their cells as the light of the Ire stYeamed in through the windows. Many scream ed in terror as the authorities for the moment refused to remove them.
 Soon, however. several companies of soldiers. including eavalrymen, had got under arms. A strong cor don of troops was thrown about the prison and every precaution taken to prevent escapes. All the soldiers that could be spared from the ranks of the fire fighters were detailed as guards and then the delivery of the prisoners began.
 Soldiers with leveled weapons greeted the convicts as they mareA- ed out They had been previously warned that the slightest belligerent move would mean death.
 Shoot them down in their tracks," commanded the officers. "if they don't keep in line. The irst man that tries to escape dies"
 The rife barrels of the soldiers and swords of the officers glinted in the firelight, and the knowledge that it was United States soldiers they were dealing with effectually awed the pris- oners and they meekly followed their heavily armed guards to the stock ade.
 Not only did the strict military rule prevent any escape, but 1t effeetually cred A general boycott against among the convicts. The prison build ing was valued at $500,0
 The fire started in some rubbish left in careless manner in the paint and carpenter shop.
