LAYMEN RIVAL
THE DOCTORS
Consumption Campaign Allies
Many Interests and Every Day
Sees Hundreds of New Recruits

Confirming the recent state.
ment of Dr. William Osler, that
the anti-tuberculosis campaign is
no longer Il battle for the doctors
only, the National Association for
the study and prevention OF tuber-
culosls issues a statement TODAY, in
which it is shown that over As per
cent. of those enlisted in the
White Plague War are laymen.
The National Association IS
membership, consisting Of nearly
$500. and representing every
state i'll the union, is composed of
$40 per cent, doctors and 49,
per cent. laymen. In the local
and state associations. however
throughout the country, the per.
centage of laymen averages con-
siderably over SO per cent. The
National Association declares that
this fact is peculiarly significant,
as indicating the great popularity
of the anti tuberculosis movement
twenty-five years ago, when tho
campaign against tuberculosis was
started i'll this country by DR..
Edward l.. Trudeau, even the
doctors laughed at the movement.
Gradually the medical profession
realized the possibilities of an or.
ganized fight against tuberculosis
and in 1901, the National AS.
ISOLATION for the Study and Pre-
vention of tuberculosis was form.
ed by the American Medical AS.
ISOLATION. At that time the Der
centage of laymen in the Associ
alton was only 1913, and very few
persons were interested in the cam
paign against this disease.
Today, according to recent
figures published by the National
Association, churches, schools,
labor unions, women's clubs,
fraternal organizations, and state
legislatures, interesting fully s.
100000 people, are all allied in
the campaign against tuberculosis,
and in addition to these, laymen
OF all classes of society, and in
every branch of social aud i'm.
dustrial life, are uniting against
this common foe.
Every day sees hundreds of new
recruits III the war. and every day
brings new methods for the fight
ing of the plague The National
Association predicts that if the
present degree of interest is main
tanned, within five years every
body in the United States will
have been Informed on the way to
prevent and cure tuberculosis, and
concerning the infectious nature
of the disease.
Two things in particular are
needed, and for these the National
q ssociation is working in every
way. They are, more complete
registration of tuberculosis cases
and the further isolation of
dangerous advanced cases of con.
sumption.

Prison Competition Stopped.

The shirt and overall industries
in the prisons of the State of Hi
nois are to be discontinued and
their competition with the pro-
ducts of free labor eliminated. The
total elimination of prison-made
products from the open market
will also become an accomplished
fact within few years This re-
suit has been secured through the
persistent effort of Attorney John
J. Sonsteby, Trustee Robert Nor
en-. representatives of the United
Garment Workers of America and

Illinois State Federation of Labor.

WRONGS TO

introduced May II at the national
convention of the American Fede
ration of Musicians at minneapolis.
Mimi, condemning the action of
Justice Wright >in sentencing
Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell
and Frank Morrison to jail for the
alleged violation of the courts
order in the Bucks Stove & Range
Co. case.
In his argument Mr.. Bope said:
1.-The doctrines enunciated in
this set Of resolutions are funda-
mental-fundamental to the proper
administration of government
fundamental to the happiness and
welfare of all our people.
'The principles embodied in
this set of resolutions, if perpetu-
ated, are the bulwark of this re.
public. If denied, then the old
ship of state must clear for action.
"From the time the infant child
Liberty was rocked in the cradle
by Washington, Adams and Jeffer-
son, down to a period when we are
represented by the powerful genius
and the unhappy approached
resources of $4,000, 900 of people,
Liberty and JUSTICE has been the

nation. I have always been of the
belief that God and nature have
made laws, which. unless restrict

give to every man an equal oppor-
tunity to work out his own destiny
in this world.
land it is intervention of some
of these human agencies, operating
the judiciary, that I de.
sire to consider.
Judge Wright's castigation of
Gompers. Mitchell and Morrison
and his terrific arraignment of
labor was couched in terms of
calumny, vituperation and re-
proach. Every trust lawyer in
the country pronounced Judge
Wright's TRADE sound judicial
Every lawbreaking cor
poration endorsed it. Every sub
sheet editorally commended
it. The general public was
thunderstruck.. The American
Federation of Labor was staggered.
81 do not charge that Judge
Wright has been commercially in
oculated with the poison fang of
the manufacturers association.
Neither do I charge that he has
been infected from an injection at
the hands of the scorpions of So
called industrial alliances. But /
do charge that he is at variance
with Magma Charta, Plymouth
Rock, Thomas Jefferson and Abra-
ham Lincoln. I do charge that he
arrayed himself against every
constitutional guarantee. do
charge that his findings in this
case are in violent conflict with the
Declaration of Independence, and
If carried to their logical con.
clusion, American justice becomes
a travesty, the Federal Constitu-
tlcn a delusion, American liberty
a dream. American citizenship a
malediction and American insti-
tuition a base mockery.
"Just as the rope that dragged
William Lloyd Garrison through
the streets of Boston was the same
rope that subsequently hanged
treachery and treason until they
were dead, so the clanking of the
chains of Gompers and Mitchell
and Morrison, as they march lock-
step to prison, if they ever do SO
march, will sound the death knell
of Judicial absolutism in this
country

On Saturday, April 8, the Boston EUenine
Transcript will contain q vast amount Of mat
ter of special interest to persons looking for
summer homes to purchase or to rent; and of
more than usual interest to people desiring to
buy or hire city, suburban or country proper
ties OF various classes.
The real estate agents are being called upon
earlier this year than has been the custom in
the past, for estates in desirable centres, and
the demand seems to more than equal the
supply. The opportunity for giving pub
licity to properties of all descriptions through
the medium of newspaper like the Trans
cript in the issue of April will surely not
pass unheeded. Builders of new houses,
property-owners who are desirous Of selling
or exchanging their holdings, agents and
others will not permit such chance to pass.
F. The Real Estate" and Houses for the
Summer Advertisements Of that date will be
of great interest. Each class will be placed
under respective headings if received in good
season for publication.

Natural mummihcation, the chang
ing of the human body into a dried
condition without artificial treat
ment, is an extremely rare pheno-
menon. In a case reported by Hon.
s. Wolffsohn, of British Honduras,
middle aged ooolie who disappeared
between January and March, 1907,
was found more than year after
ward, on May 6, 1908, in corrugated
iron hut, as perfectly preserved
mummy. The hut in a somewhat
isolated spot at Situu, was raised on
blocks 4 or feet above the ground,
and had a door and three shutters,
one shutter being open, while one
had fallen out. The body was
clothed in cotton undershirt, dark
jersey and duck trousers, two pieces
of rope around the neck proving
self-strangulation. The desiccation
seemed to have been favored by a
com blnation of conditions-the sea-
son having been extraordinarily dry,
and the small iron house excessively
hot, though well-ventilated, while
the body was thin and attenuated as
result Ut mental disorder. The
only other case of the kind that could
be found recorded was that OF body

burg, near Berlin. This vault was
closed only by iron lattice work,
and the body, which had been lying
there over 90 years was completely
mumlnited and we'll preserved.

One view now entertained is that the

in Hawaii are reported to have shown

How a Boy In Fields Office Succeeded
In Getting II.
Years ago small boy who was
working in Marshall Fields whole
sale house conceived the idea that lie
ought TO have raise in his salary.
He was then receiving 81 a week, and
he believed lie was worth S5. He
asked the manager of his department
for raise, but was refused. Not
daunted, lie went to the next higher
authority, only to be again disappoint-
ed. He continued to run the complete
gamut of managers until his only
hope lay in going to Mr.. Field him
self with his request One morning
he lay in wait outside Marshall Fields
private Office, and, when the merchant
prince arrived, Immediately waylaid
him and stated the case to him. Mr..
Field listened patiently to the boys
story, but stern look came over his
face.
"See here, my boy, you are paid 81
a week now, are you not?" he asked.

The youngster saw all his hopes
dashed to the ground. Tears of dis
appointment came to his eyes, and he
blubbered:
"Well, perhaps you wasn't worth
more than SO a week"
Marshall Field laughed. The boy
got his raise.-LippincOtt's Magazine.
