Value of a Human Life.

From "The War on the White Death"
 by O. F. Lewis, in the April Metropoli-
 tan Magazine.
 When a person dies of tuberculosis we are apt to think. Well, not only are his troubles over. but he is no longer an ex- pense to family, friends or the communi- ty." No further expense, perhaps. but nevertheless a great loss, not only in the circle of family or friends, but also to the community There are, 1t is said. 00000 deaths from tuberculosis in the United States annually. Let us be con- servative and say 150.000. The average age at time of death is 35 years. The normal life would go on for s2 years longer, or until the 67th year. Frederick L. Hoffman, a noted statistician, has es timated that the real loss of life of these 150,000 victims of consumption measured in time, Is 4,S00,0o0 years per annum. ''If we assume that the net value of year of human life is at least $50 the real loss to the nation resulting from the disease a large portion of which Is needless, may be estimated at $24o.0oo0OO per annum."
 The State Charities Aid Association of New York says: '"The average loss to the community by the death from tuber- culosis of a wage-earning male is about $SO00" How widely apart estimates may be Is shown by the New York State Charities Aid associations statement that "a careful estimate indicates that tuber- culosis cost the people of this state S120,- 600. eco year" In this estimate are un- doubtedly added to the estimated loss of annual value of the victim to the conn munity all expenses incident to his treat ment, be 1t in the home, the sanitarium or the hospital.
 Similar estimates have set the annual loss to Illinois from this disease at sSG,- 00O 000 to Ohio, $15.000,000: to Maryland. SIG, GOO, GOO; to New York city, s15,00O,000; to the United States, $33O, ,0o0,000.
 However widely at variance these es- inmates may be, the one fact we cannot get away from is that tuberculosis is costly almost beyond imagination. lavish of life beyond endurance and tenacious of purpose-to-kill beyond any other dis ease in proportion to the population.

Buying Craze Appears to Have
 No Termination
ALL NEWS VERY BULLISH
Corn Continues Strong, In Sympathy With Wheat, and Makes New Rec ords-oats and Provisions
 Are Steady.
By JOSEPH PRITcHARD.

Chicago, April 3.-(Specia1 1.-The buying craze in wheat Is still on. New high prices of the campaign as well as of the year were chalked up today The May future-the Patten brand-reached s1.22., and the July advanced to s1.OSA.
 The possibilities in May are almost un- limited, and the eleventh hour bufls in July are shouting themselves hoarse over the bullish outlook for that future.
 Nearly the entire trade led by the coun- try Is long on July wheat.
 News of a bearish character receives 2 cold shoulder in the wheat pit while the bull items are swallowed not unlike luscious blue point
 The wheat market was not only active, but 1t was an affair of breadth The buy ing power was in evidence all day, but the wheat was not taken by the strong est interests in the trade. Considerable May was taken for the suspended local firm, and this buying caused a great many scattered shorts to rush for cover. Had not there been heavy sales of the entire wheat list on profit taking account the bulge would have been much greater. The 
 the price was bid upward in an alarming manner. There was much excitement in the news that was bullish in character.
 Broomhall revised his figures on worlds shipments exclusive of America, making them 6,6000OO bushels. This indicates small shipments for Monday. Liverpool was up Esd at the time of our opening and reported big. demand for cargoes and strong country markets in Europe Spot La Plata wheat was 12d higher. North western receipts fell below last year. Minneapolis stocks decreased 50OOO bush els for one day and reported larger flour sales.
 Cash sales of wheat here Friday and today amounted to 140,0O0 bushels, round lot going to eastern mills by rail; a lake charter for 100000 bushels was made the destination being Buffalo. Northwestern receipts today were 120 cars and for the week 1493 cars, compared with PAS and 1505 respectively year ago. Primary receipts for the week were 2,S19,00O bush els, previous week. 2,999,0O0 bushels; year ago. 2,62S, 900 bushels.
 There were fractional advances in coarse grains today. The corn market continues strong, partly in sympathy with wheat and partly on the light receipts and some what better demand. The bulls seem to have the advantage for the time being. It will be some time before the farmers can market any more corn. In the mean time prices will probably go higher Local receipts, 195 cars, with III cars estimated for Monday. Primary receipts, 337,000 bushels, compared with 447000 year ago
 The oats market was strong. There was good buying by cash houses and a good general speculative trade. Primary re- ceipts continue about half of what they were last year.
 The Cudahys are in complete control of the produce market at the present time, and the three brothers are believed to have cleaned up a pretty penny in hog products of late.
