ENORMOUS ECONOMIC Loss
CAUSED BY TUBERCULOSIS
The Earning Power Sacrificed
Through Deaths in Hoton Co.
in January $4,000.
81 TIMES SANITORIUM COST
TELEPHONE SOUTH 10

Some slight opposition has become
manifest I'm certain quarters to the
expenditure by the county of $4,000
for the purpose of providing and main
tain a place for the treatment
and cure OF sufferers from tuberculosis
which question is to be submitted 70
the voters Of the county at the election
to be held April 4. 1t Is generally
understood that the issue will be car
ried by an overwhelming majority and
that the little opposition shown to it
is from those who do not fully UNDER
stand the meaning of the good that Ia
bound 10 result from the crusade 10
be carried on with this fund.
Dr. Irving Fisher, professor Of social
economy at Yale and a close student
for years OF the fight being waged
against the white plague in every part
OF the civilized world, in n paper read
before the international tuberculosis
congress i'm washington last fall, eX-
planned how he had by the aid OF the
vital statistics of the federal govern
ment. computed that each death from
tuberculosis i'm the United States
means an actual loss in earning power
in excess of $4,000 Continuing along
the same line Of reasoning, he found
that the cost to the United States each
year from these deaths to be greater
than s1,1OOOOO,OOO and that two-flfths
OF the amount, or over $440,000,000, is
borne by others than the consumptives
and a great part of this by the various
states and counties thereof wherein
the death occur.
Loss In Hounhton County.
In the January issue Of the Michigan
bulletin OF vital statistics, which was
only recently distributed, 10 deaths
are reported as resulting from tuber-
culosis In all forms. At the rate Of S.
600 EACH this means that the loss to
this county through those ten deaths
amounted 20 over $4,000 ana that is
for the month of January alone, which
has been found TO be one Of the health
lest months in the year for the last
several years. This brings the annual
loss in the county near 10, II not over,
the million dollar mark.
Professor Fisher estimated the death
rate from the disease for the United
states as 1914 for each 100000 and the
rate for Houghton county for the
month OF January, figured on the same
basis, runs up TO about 10. This high
death rate indicates the neces sity for
active work in this county along the
lines of stopping the spread Of the
disease.
Near the close Of his paper, the pro-
fessor makes use Of the following Ian
Euage. the gist OF which is as applic-
able to Houghton county as to any
other community: "If we add to this
economic loss the tears and sorrow
caused by the untimely deaths Of many
useful members OF families, the mental
and physical suffering Of millions of
our fellowmen. may we not well say
II is time to bid a halt to a useless

KING FIXES AUTO.

Belgium. the little kingdom by the
English Channel that Is squeezed in
between Holland and France, drew a
very much needed PRESENT in its stock
ing last Christmas new King.
His main desire in life is to see "the
wheels go round" They say that IL
he had not been born prince he
would have been n mechanic of ex-
ceptional ability. Some years ago.
when he was swinging around the
United states of America circuit, he
lodged all the functions he could and
put in his time seeing the big things
that the American engineers had been
doing. When he struck Pittsburg the
mighty captains OF industry there
showed him through the endless miles
Of big works until his tongue was
hanging out of his mouth, but he was
happy He wanted to pitch camp and
stay year. Which was good evi-
dence OF the stuff he had in him. for
most visitors are keen to get out Of
that city of unroly murk, money and
madness by the FIRST train. The prince
and George Westinghouse hit It off
like longllost brothers. Everything
that concerns industry has the right to
way with his attention, especially the
sciences. He's well up on electricity,
metallurgy and economies, and has
lectured on these subjects considerable
more than once. ''Htt
But that Is bnly one side Of King AL
bert. He'sia soldier, besides. having
started at the bottom of the military
ladder and worked his way up By mer-

horse as though he were a part of il.
and can outwalk any three men. He
drives his own motor. IL the gear box
goes on aIstrike, down he goes under
the car, and does the fixing himself.
There Is story that a pert and pretty
waitress recently ordered him out Of
q spotless Tyrol inn because long
struggle with a rebellious motor had
made him look like an oiler on an At
lantlc liner. Approaching the humor
Of the situation he went.
Personally, he suggests a young col
lege professor Frankness. amiabilty
and intelligence fly the biggest signals
on his face. He Is courteous, demo-
cratic, enjoys music. and can jugglc
the vocabularies of four languages on
the tip Of his tongue. Belgium likes
him. and the latchstrings of all the
royal houses abroad are out for him,
which was far from the case when his
predecessor was travelling. His mar
rage to the Duchess Elizabeth of Ba-
varia was a real and not diplomati-
cally arranged love AFFAIR. They have
two children.
We hear with interest that the new
monarch is a 8 o'clock riser. That au-
gurs well. for he'll have to get up
early In the morning to make any inn
preston on the tough job that's cut
out for him in the Congo.

TO RAISE LAKE INSURANCE.
Foreign Underwriters Are Going to
Ask Higher Premiums.

A Cleveland dispatch says:

insurance man, stopped here on his
way home from London, England. He
spent some time visiting the local ves-

as yet come to no conclusion as to
how much of an advance there will
be made. but they will make an an

a manner that a goal was scored for

net from left wing and the half ended
with the score 2 TO 1.

PLANS CONSOLIDATION
OF RURAL DISTRICTS
New Arrangement to Be Tried Out in
Thurston County Will Be
Watched With Interest

OLYMPIA, April 1.-Thurston
county will be the first county in
the state to attempt to consolidate
rural school districts. w. G. Parker,
county superintendent and H. b..
Dewey, state superintendent of pub
lie instruction, have announced that
10 districts will be united into one
large district.
The consolidation will have an as
sessed valuation of $1,000,000 and
when the Milwaukee line is COM
pleted the 10 miles will have an ad-
ded valuation of 100000.
The plan is to have a supervisor
looking after the schools who will
correspond to city superintendent.
In addition to visiting each school
he will teach manual training and
agriculture. The plan will enable
the employment of more efficient
corps of teachers and will equalize
the tax levy. At the present time
the levy runs from 2 mills to about
Is mills and the new program will
give general levy of from to
mills.
BY combining the districts $1,000
will be secured from the state in adj
dition to the regular apportiOnment.
1t is planned to have Thurston coun-
ty divided into five districts. The
whole state is watching the expert
ment with interest, as it is the first
time it has ever been tried in this
state.

HOQUIAM, April 25.-Is Hoquiam
.soing to have a baseball team in the
Washington State League?
This is the question that is being
discussed by the baseball fans of Ho-
quiam and the other cities of the
southwest. Every other city in the
league has been adding men to its
team, trying them out and getting an
aggregation to make a fight for the
pennant.
The season opens two weeks from
today and as yet Hoquiam Is with
out complete team, capable Of COM
pairing with the other teams of the
league.
There has not been a captain or
playing manager secured. The only
contracts signed are those of local
lads who are willing to try for places
on the team.
The committee in charge OF the
financial end say they have been I'M
able to raise the money to finance a
team. More than $1,000 is needed
and up to date little more than
$500 has been secured.
