TO care for an advanced case of tuber-
culosis until death. If he is left in des-
utute circumstances without proper
attention he will surely infect with
his disease at least two other persons,
and possibly more. Considering that
the average life is worth to society
IN dollars and cents about $500, the
net loss which would accrue to a COM
nunity by not treating it's poor con-
sumptives in proper institutions would
be, for each case, including those who
are unnecessarily infected, at the very
lowest figure, $4,250. On this basis, if
the poor consumptives in the United
States who are now sick were segre-
gated from their families, and either
kept in institutions until they died, or
else cured of their disease, the saw
ing to the country would be the enor-
nous sum of s1,275,O00,0 900.

very malleable and good conductor
of heat, but rusting so fast in moist
air as to be practically impossible to
preserve.
Numerous uses are now proposed
for it. most of them as an element Of
various alloys. Enthusiasts are even
looking forward to a career for 1t not
unlike that Of aluminium. Its greatest
probable use is as a reducing agent In
metallurgy; 1t may be of great aid In
refining other metals. owing TO the
readiness with which it combines
with oxygen and sulphur.

HABITS CHAIN

a pernicious habit than to lead for
lorn hope in a bloody battle. A lady

yacht on OF the interest All this howl
about the automobile IS tOmmyTOt, pure
and simple
The automobile is here to stay-here
as a commercial necessity to doctors
and many others and here as a pleas
ure car to hundreds Of others As a dis
lance anuihilatOr. and as q means Of
fresh air for people who are housed
Up all day during the summer months,
It has no equal. and. personally. I would
rather know that the automobile had
saved the life OF one little kiddy BY Civ
ing it plenty OF fresh air than to know
that their absence had made a dozen
bankers rich.
When It comes down to a financial
and economic proposition there is no
question but what the automobile has
been blessing The price Of suburban
real estate IS no longer dependent on
the trolley systems Hundreds OF subur-
ban homes have been built because the
automobile gives quick access to them
This puts money into the pockets Of
the real estate owners and agents, into
the pockets OF the builders and me-
chanics who work for them and cuts
down the household expenses Of the
owner because of his ability to pro-
duce his own chickens, milk, and vege-
tables The money saved in family
doctor bills from this cause alone viii
pay for the machine in a few years, and
the earning power OF a man physically
St through an open air life Is too well
known fo- comment
The automobile craze is at its worst
or best-in the middle west, and the
financial condition Of that country has
never been 50 good as it is today and
every bank through the Mississippi val
ley has stored IL its vaults the notes
OF the borrowers Of the East. AS TO
