COUNTRY AWAKE TO DANGER
Increase Of eanatorla and Hospitais
for consumptivss 10 Nest
Gratifying.

The growth Of the crusade against
tuberculosis In the United States IL
shown to good advantage In the two
directories that have been issued BY
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention Of tuberculosis and
the one in preparation. Tho hrst tn.
beculosis directory pubiished In 1904.
by the tuberculosis committee OF the
New York Charity Organization socfs-
ty and the National Association listed
l33 sanatoria and hospitals for CON
sumptives in the United States. for
some of which preliminary provision
only has been made. The combined
capacity Of these institutions was
only 5000 beds. Thirty-two special
dispensaries and thirty-nine anti-tu-
bsrculosis organizations summed up
practically ali Of the fighting force
enumerated In the first directory.
The second directory was prepared by
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention Of tuberculosis and
published under the auspices Of the
Russell Sage Foundation In August.
1908. This directory listed 240 sans
toria and hospitals. an increase Of
107 from the former directory; 1bs
dispensaries. an increase Of 1926; and
1876 associations, an increase Of 1b6.
The number Of hospital beds listed
in 1908 was 1904.
The new directory that will be IT,
sued soon, will list over 400 sanatoria
and hospitals with . bed capacity OF
nearly $4,000: more than 800 special
tuberculosis dispensaries: and fully
460 anti-tuberculosis associations and
committees. Since the first directory
was issued in 1904, the increase in
the number of agencies fighting con-
sumption aggregates nearly 500 per
cent.
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention Of tuberculosis
would like to get in touch with all
agencies engaged In the tight against
tuberculosis. in order that they may
be listed in the new directory.

It IL extremely important for the

AN lH1oLEaAsLE ITCHING

"Just about two years ago, some
form of humor appeared on my scalp.
The beginning was slight itching but
1t. grew steadily worse until. when I
combed my hair. the scalp became

oFT-DIsCUssED SUBJECT.
American Hurry Provides Material
for Many Debates.

AOE NAlng DtbAtt>s
American hurry has long been a
subject of discussion by writer's who
have deplored it or condemned it,
without checking it. Now comes DR..
Henry Van Dyke, who explains it,
Writing in the American Magazine, he
says:
THE high stimulation of will power
in America has had the effect of
quickening the general pace of life to
a rate that always astonishes and
sometimes annoys the European visi-
tor. The movement of things and
people is rapid, incessant, bewildering.
There is a rushing tide-in the streets,
a nervous tension in the air. Business
is transacted with swift dispatch and
close attention. The preliminary COM
pliments and courtesies are eliminated.
Whether you want to buy paper of
pins or a thousand shares of stock, it
is done quickly. l remember waiting
an hour in the Ottoman Bank at Da-
mascus, once, to get thousand francs
on my letter OF credit. The polite di-
rector gave me coffee and delightful
talk. In New York the transaction
would not have taken five minutes,
but there would have been no coffee
nor conversation.
"The American moves rapidly, but II
you should infer from this that he is
always in a hurry, you would make a
mistake. His fundamental philosophy
Is that you must be quick sometimes
If you do not wish to be hurried al
ways. You must condense, you must
eliminate, you must save time on the
little things in order that you may
have more time for the larger things
He systematizes his correspondence
| his office work, all the details of his
business, not for the sake of system
but for the sake of getting through
with his work. In his office hangs q
printed motto, This is my busy day.
He does not arrive at the railway sta
| ton is minutes before the departure
| of his train, because he has something
| else that he would rather do witt
| those is minutes He does not like tC
spend an hour in the barber shop, be
cause he wishes to get out to his coun
try club in good time for a game o.
golf and a shower bath afterward. He
likes to have full life, in which one
thing connects with another promptly
and neatly, without unnecessary inter
walls. His characteristic attitude Il
not that of a man in a hurry, but tha
of a man. concentrated on the thing II
hand to save time"

Changes in Religious EFFORT.

The real ground, therefore, of our
superiority to our ancestors is not so
much that they were all selfish, while
only a few of us are, or even that they
lacked zeal for human welfare, as that
their altruism was misdirected, first to
loving individuals rather than the
mass. and then to laboring for their
salvation from imaginary dangers In
the next world, rather than from real
trouble in this. We have learned, first.
10 confine our efforts to this world,
and, second, to work at wholesale rath-
err than retail.-Ernest c. Richard
son, in the Atlantic.
