TURERCULOUs REPORT.

That the State aid extended to
tuberculous sufferers through the
Department of Health dispensaries
denced by careful statistics that
Health Commissioner Dixon has just
compiled.
These statistics which are based
upon total of 1858 patients ex-
amined at the dispensaries, of whom
6,72S were found to have tubercul-
osis, during period of seventeen
months ending December 81, 1908,
show that the average family in
come in the homes from which these
patients came was $24.63 per
month. The average number of
persons in the family was 4.3S and
the average per capita income $3.50.
"These facts are particularly
gratifying" said Dr. Dixon. with
the thousands of tuberculous patti
ents whom we are asked to nelp it
is quite possible that occasionally
the States charity is imposed upon.
We are fully justified, however, by
the abulated records, in drawing the
conclusion that the really needy poor
among Pennsylvania unfortunate
victims of tuberculosis are the ones
that are being helped, just as the
law making the appropriation con-
templated."
An interesting study of the possi-
BILE source of infection can be made
from the dispensary statistics. In
2,404 cases, there was reason to be-
lieve that the disease was contract
ed in the home from another mem
Der of the family. This shows how
important is the work whicn the
visiting nurses of the dispensaries
are doing in teaching the members
of the household how to guard
against being infected by one of the
family who has the disease.
In 474 cases the possible source
! of infection was fellow employee,
Fully alive to the danger from this
source the State Department OF
Health has communicated direct with
all the large employers of labor
throughout the State, urging The
necessity of frequent medical inspec-
ton and calling attention to the
States dispensaries where suspected
cases among the poor will be eX.
amined at any time free.

FIRE AT HAMLINToN.
The Family of J. G. williams Were
Awakened at An Early Hour.

About 2 a. m. this Tuesday,
morning the family of ]. @. Williams
of Hamlinton, were awakened from
a sound sleep to discover that their
home was on fre. Mrs. Williams,
who was the first to discover the
fire, hastily awakened her husband
and children, and they scantily
dressed, we're enabled to escape from
the burning building with their
lives only by the prompt action.
The fire was under full headway
when discovered and nothing could
be done to stay it's progress until
the house and all its contents we're
totally destroyed. Mr.. and Mrs.
Williams and children found ref
uge in Mr.. Hoffman's home which
is almost opposite theirs, and re-
mained there until suitable clothing
had been secured to cover them,
when they removed to James Hine-
lines where they will remain until
they make other arrangements.
The house was well furnished and
amply stocked with food and pro-
vision, all of which was destroyed.

heavily upon Mr. Williams. The
cause of the fire at this writing is
not known but it is presumed to
have been from a defective hue, as
Mrs Williams noticed that the fire
had made its greatest progress
when she awoke in one corner of
her slppDiuP anartmpnt and in close

PRACTICAL TEST OF BRYAN'S
BANKING SCHEME.

The actual working of the bank
deposit guaranty plan is now being
seen in Oklahoma as it operated
in time of need, when banks are
failing and depositors are demand
ing their money. This acid test of
the scheme convinces most of the
editorial observers that it is un-
sound, although its friends main
tain their confidence in it. 1t seems
that in September the Columbia
Bank and Trust Company, of Okla
homa, City, went to the wall with
liabilities of some 81, 100000, which
swallowed up the entire guaranty
fund on hand and compelled the
State to call on the other banks for
more. Then two other banks went
down, and the demands on the
guaranty fund became so heavy that
some of the depositors were asked to
accept paper held by the defunct
banks in place of cash, and other
depositors have received nothing.
The Salt Lake Tribune says that
the small local depositors were paid
promptly, while the large deposi-
tors and non-residents have not been
paid at all" The indictments of
the bank officials are being held up
by Governor Haskell, says the same
paper, pending an investigation by
the State Banking Board.
The Governor is quoted by the
Minneapolis Journal as saying that
the Columbia Bank failed because
it was very generous in protecting
and aiding its friends in the oil
BUSINESS" and that lit is question
whether this generosity was the re-
suit of bad judgment only or other
wise" Another report in an Okla
homa paper is that "topheavy loans
were made upon doubtful security,
and this sort of business led to the
circulation of frequent rumors'
which provoked apprehension" and
"the crash was then Inevitable
Such statements give point to the
criticism frequently made that the
guaranty plan places a premium up
on reckless banking.

LAUGHTER.

Laughter is a cheap luxury. Let
us all laugh more. One good laugh
is worth more than thousand
sighs. A sigh only takes a drop of
life blood from the heart; a good
laugh puts one more big red drop
there. A laugh stirs up the blood.
expands the chest, initiates the lungs.
stretches the muscles and electifies
the whole system. Man is the only
creature endowed with the power
of laughter. Animals may grim but
man alone can laugh. Pity the man
who lets a day go by without a
hearty laugh. "The man who can
not laugh" says Carlyle, sis only Mt
for treason, stratagems and spoils. :"
To be able to see the funny side OF
things is a faculty which can easily
