"a Mite Too Frying"

Bushby had many natural advan-
tages and beauties, but Mrs Abner
Crane, who was a brief sojourner in
the place, having been there only a
matter of ten years or so, never appre-
ciated it. "She was aching to get
back to Nashuy the whole enduring
time" said one of Mrs. Cranes Bushby
neighbors, "and l was glad to see her
go, feeling as she did"
What was it she didn't like about
Bushby?" asked one of the summer
residents, curiously.
"She said she didn't get the news o.
the day quick enough TO suit her "
quoted the neighbor, with as near an
imitation of Mrs. Cranes air as she
could manage.
"As | said to my Asy, what on earth
she wanted more than we have in the
way o. news-spreaders here, l don't
know.
when you consider that there are
five telephones in town. a grocery wa
gon driven by Lucy Grants boy twice
a week. Lucy Grant herself to sew for
everybody in town by the day, and all
taking milk from Jed Kimball, l don't
know how we could be any better
fixed. l call anybody that wants more
news o the day than Bushby folks get
a mite too prying myself"

Insurance companies are beginning
to discover that to cure tuberculosis
is cheaper than to pay death losses,
says Charles Edward Russell in Sue
cess Magazine. The insuring order of
Modern Woodmen of America has es-
tablished at Colorado Springs a large,
well-equipped sanatorium for the treat
ment of tubercular cases among its
members. One of the great New York
insurance companies has considered
seriously a similar sanatorium for the
benefit of it's policyholders. A convic-
tion of the advantages of health and
content seems to be spreading among
the managers of some great enter
prises. In San Francisco, where, part
ly through the loyal support of their
employees, the corporations won
sweeping victory at the polls, these
corporations are now encouraging ath-
letics and entertainments among their
men, even, in some cases, undergoing
a considerable expense for that pur-
pose. In New York and elsewhere the
like interesting development is to be
observed in the department stores that
provide gymnasiums for their clerks,
an idea much in favor in England. 1
am told that wherever these expert
ments have been tried the results have
been regarded as profitable. OF course
these are but minute beginnings. To
have healthy employees is important to
business; to have general health
throughout the community is of vast
" greater fmDortance

MAKES HIT WITH PHoNoGRAPH.

chine In His Business.

italian Street Musician Utilizes Ma
chine in His Business.
With the arrival of spring has come
an innovation in the line of street
music as exploited heretofore by hand
organ men and mud gutter" bands.
1t is the phonograph. This device.
which has up to now been confined to
the home or the restaurant, has been
appropriated by the persons who make
a living by appealing to the musical
tastes of the populace.
The vanguard Of the street phono-
graph army which will probably take
possession of the streets very soon
made his appearance in Flatbush to-
day and reaped a rich harvest for his
enterprise, the New York Evening Tel
egram says.
The phonograph man would make a
fine subject for an artist who wanted
to picture a typical native Of sunny
Italy, we'll along in years. With a
long, dropping gray mustache, he was
typical Of an aged Sicilian noun
taineer. His clothes did not spell
opulence, to be sure, but he expects
that with the aid OF the phonograph
he will soon have enough to enable
him to dress more respectfully.
The phonograph was mounted on
hand cart, such as those used by rag
and waste paper gatherers. The "mu.
sician" said he got 1t from man
,,bo di51,f lilo rhopo0ro nhq and whn
abstracted the machine and a couple
of dozen records from the house when
his wife wasn't looking. 1t is disk
machine, of a well-known make, and
can be heard a block away. 1t gives
forth a really superior brand of music
and nearly all of the records are oper-
attic.
For this reason the innovation has
made a hit in Flatbush, where the cul-
ture and wealth of Brooklyn is to be
found in abundance.
The new style of "hurdy-gurdy" at
tracts great attention wherever it goes
and children follow 1t for blocks, sing
ing and dancing. The operator has
1t easier than the men who grind the
regular piano organs, for he does not
have to keep winding 1t continuously.
It has another advantage over the
piano organ in that its repertoire Is
more extensive and calculated to please
all tastes.
The operator explained in broken
English that he used different records
in different neighborhoods, having
some of the popular variety to play
in sections where the residents are
not educated up to opera So far, he
says. he has the field to himself. but
expects to encounter some opposition
before long, as rival "hurdy-gurdy"
men are jealous of his success with
the new noise-making device and are
anxious to follow his lead.
Most of the piano organs of the city
are controlled by padrones or COM
panies and are merely rented by the
operators. 1t is expected that they
will soon begin to put out monographs
to keep up with the march of prog
ress. Photographs have been in use
in Europe by street musicians for
some time, but the one now amusing
the Flatbush section is believed to be
the first one in this country.

v ventable diseases But the time will come
when this can not be said. The fight against
disease is being waged now, and it will wage more
strongly In hundred years the nations will war
against it, and not against each other. The span of
life will be heightened People will live useful
lives. The economic gain, measured in dollars, will
be counted into the billions.
There is no iron law Of mortality Recent statistics
for India show that the average duration of life there
is less than 25 years. In Sweden it is than so
years. and in Massachusetts, 45 years. The length of
life is increasing wherever sanitary science and pre-
ventive medicine are applied In India it is station
ary In Europe it has doubled in three and a half
centuries
The rate of increase during the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries about four years century,
during the latter half of the nineteenth century about
II years century, and in Germany, where medical
and sanitary science has reached the highest deve-
opment, about'27 years century. The only compar-
ave statistics available in this country are in Mas
sachusetts, where life is heightened the rate of
about "A years century, or half the rate in Germany
There is no need, however, of waiting century for
this increase It could be obtained within genera

Three-fourths of the of tuberculosis, from
which 10000 Americans die annually could be avoid
ed For 90 different causes of death there is ratio
of preventabity. From these data it is found that
least Is years could be added to the average human
lifetime by applying the science of preventing disease
More than half of this additional life would come
from the prevention of tuberculosis typhoid and five
other diseases.
PRIME CAUSE OF MORTALITY
Bad air, water, milk and fies-these are prime
causes for our long death rolls.
At all times there are about 100000 persons ser-
ously i'll in the United States of whom about 100000
consumptves Fully half of this illness is pre-
ventable.

be practiced in three ways-public, semipublic and
personal The first refers to governmental regula-
ton of health, the second to professional insttu
tona care, the third the private life of the ind
vidual and the family.
The protection offered by city's health board is
greater and more important than the protection of
the police and fire departments. Few citizens realize
this Much is done by these boards, there is
for improvement both in making regula-
tons and enforcing them by the aid of more
lightened public opinion. The menace from splitting

the statistics, experience and estimates of IS phys
clans as to the preventabity of each of the list of
90 causes of DEATH we find that the length of life
could easily be increased from As to 90 years
The principal reductions would be from nfantile
diarrhoea and enteritis, than 90 per cent of
which could be prevented with the result of addi
ton to the average length of life of 2.32 years
Broncho- pneumonia, also infant disease, could be
prevented to the extent of so per cent.
SEVENTY PER CENT PREvENTABLE
Meningitis, which is usually fatal at the age of q
could be prevented by at least 20 per Eighty
five per of the deaths by typhoid fever are un-
necessary and if avoided would lengthen life at least
twothrds of year. 1t would be feasible to prevent
at least Is per of of tuberculosis of the
lungs and thereby to lengthen life by upward of
years. If the deaths from violence reduced only
IS per cent human life would be increased by nearly

The mortality from certain special diseases has
greatly decreased The tuberculosis death rate is
in England only one-third of what it was 20
years ago. The death rate from pneumonia now
equals that of tuberculosis. Typhoid fever is de-
creasing In Munich the reduction in death rate in
80 years was 81 per In Lawrence, Mass, after
the public water filtered in 1893 the typhoid
fever rate fell from los to 22 1t has been shown that
any community having clean water and noninfected
milk supply may be free from typhoid Smallpox
has greatly decreased since vaccination has been
mosquito transmitted the disease yellow fever has
practically disappeared from America
LARGELY PREvENTABLE
1t has been estimated by experts that at least IS
per cent of typhoid fever is preventable As much
IS per cent of tuberculosis should exist. At least
SO cent of the other less prominent diseases might
be prevented. Altogether than 40 per cent of
deaths are premature The condition, then, is seen
to be one demanding grave attention. With one
thirteth of the population of the country the sick
list and at least another thrtieh handicapped and
burdened by his invalidsm, the loss national eff
hciency assumes astonishing proportion.

each years earning capacity for adults at only 500,
the economic gain to be obtained from preventing
preventable diseases exceeds one and half billions
annually. This gain, the lengthening and strength
ening of life which it measures, be secured
through medical investigation and practice, school
and factory hygiene, restriction of labor of women
and children, the education of the people in both pub
lie and private hygiene, and through improving the
efficiency of municipal state and national health serv-

believe this compasses the situation in general
way. Affairs not in any terribly alarming state.
More lives being saved today than before in
the history of the world Modern discoveries have
advanced our science of prevention to high point.
We take now to the motto of Pasteur ct is within
the power of to rid himself of every parasitic
disease"
Our death is improving-I mean growing less,
of AS duration of life increases the death
decreases. Under normal conditions. where the pop
ulation is stationary that is neither increasing nor
decreasing the death and the duration of life are
reciprocal If the death is 20 per 1000 the dura-
ton of life will be 1000 dividedsby 20, which makes
SO years
AFFECTED BY IMMIGRATION
This relation is disturbed however, in most coun-
tries today and especially in America, by immigra-
ton and emigration and by the birth rate being in
of the death In the registration area of
the United States the death los per 1OO0 in
France is 20 India A. In different states of the
United States it varies from ID in Michigan to 18 in
New York 1t is higher in the city than in the coun-
try and the larger the city the greater the death rate
Also among the poor it is greater than among the
rich.
Death rates have been decreasing for several CEN
turies In London, where the death rate is only
IS, during the seventeenth and eighteenth CEN
tures 40 to So and during 1880 1928 rose as high

in this country In Havana the death rate after the
