Need Of Beds for Conservatives.


The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
says that in seven states, Alabama
Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oklahoma,
Wyoming and Utah, with a combined
population of over 100000, not one
bed for consumptives has been pro-
vided In nine states and territories,
Alaska, Delaware, Florida, Kansas,
Mississippi, South Carolina, South Da-
kota, Vermont and West Virginia, the
number of beds for consumptityes in
each case is less than fifty, while the
combined population of these states is
over 100000 On the basis of 400
deaths to a million of population,
which is approximately the present
rate in the United States, there would
be nearly 5000 deaths annually from
tuberculosis in these IA states, with at
least 10000 cases of this disease all
the time, and less than 500 beds to
care for them.

is YEARS OF SKIN DISEASE

For sixteen long years have been
suffering with bad case of skin dis
ease. While a child there broke out a
red sore on the legs just in back of
my knees. 1t waxed from bad to worse,
and at last l saw l had bad skin
disease. tried many widely known
doctors in different cities but to no
satisfactory result. The plague both
cred me more in warm weather than
in winter and being on my leg joints
it made 1t impossible for me to walk,
and was forced to stay indoors in the
warmest weather. My hopes of recov-
cry were by this time spent. Sleepless
nights and restless days made life an
unbearable burden. At last I was
advised to try the Cuticura remedies
[Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills]
and | did not need more than a trial
to convince me that was on the road
of success this time. I bought two
sets of the Cuticura Remedies and
after these were gone l was a differ
ent man entirely. l am now the hap
piest man that there is at least one
true care for skin diseases. Leonard

Good Work Proceeds Slowly.

AT the present rate of increase near
ly forty-fve years must elapse before
sufficient hospital accommodations to
provide for all the INDECENT consump-
tives in the United States will be pro-
vided, declares the National Associa-
ton for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis. Although over 1000
beds in hospitals, sanatoria, camps
and wards for tuberculous patients
were established last year, there are
fully 100000 INDECENT consumptives
who ought to be placed in such institu-
lions and total of only 22,720 beds in
the entire country. On May l, 1909,
there were 1924 beds for consump-
tives and 294 institutions. The annual
report of the national association
shows an increase of SO institutions
and $500 beds.

A Horse Lover.

James r. Keene, who is noted no
less as horseman than as financier,
said at luncheon at his Cedarhurst
residences:
My love of horses has been a great
comfort to me all my life. / have al

though. ! haven't allowed them to in
terfere with my business.
Some men carry their love of
horses altogether too far Such a one

~ HE Union Pacific railroad has
discovered a new use for billy
goats and every day at half
hundred stock feeding stations
on the line of the big railroad
system, solemn goats with long
white boards act the part of Judas,
Turing unsuspecting sheep to their
doom. Little did the grave members
of the Interstate Commerce commits
sion think when they made a ruling
that live stock en- route from the great
western ranges to the packing houses
along the Missouri river, should not
be kept aboard railroad trains for
more than 2S consecutive hours, but
that at the expiration of that period,
the animals should be taken from the
cars and given water and provender
that the ruling would be responsible
for the creation of band of goats
trained to ingratiate themselves into
the confidence of innocent little lambs,
matronly ewes and stately rams and
bring these down to their death.
But such is the case. And the Union
Pacific railroad has flock of goats,
each individual member of which
can do better work along the
lines for which it is trained than half
a dozen men could do in twice the
time.
When the 2S-hour law went into
effect the Union Pacific railroad found
1t necessary to build big feeding yards
at numerous points along its line-in
fact, these yards were installed about
every rs miles from end to end of the
big system. During the shipping sea-
son that railroad brings hundreds Of
thousands of sheep from the great
ranges of Wyoming, Colorado, Utah,
Idaho, Oregon, Montana, California
and the southwestern states to the
packing houses at Omaha. Under the
new law it was necessary that these
sheep be unloaded, fed and watered
and then reloaded every % hours.
Those men who have ever attempt
ed to drive sheep will remember how
difficult the task is, especially to get
the animals headed in the right direc-
ton. "As timid as sheep is a
proverb, and its truth is proven every
day and every hour wherever sheep
are handled.
If the sheep are in the stock cars
It is big job to get them out. Efforts
of the attendants to get them to leave
the cars usually result in the whole
bunch crowding up in one end and re-
fusing to go out the door. Sometimes
it was even necessary that each indi-
vidual sheep be actually lifted up and
taken from the car.
And sometimes this 2S-hour limit
expired in the dead of night, when the
sheen were all lying asleep on the
floor OF the car At such times it was
almost impossible to unload except by
the .handv method. At times half an
hour was consumed in unloading sin
gle car.
After the sheep were fed and wa
tered came the reloading, and again
there was trouble, almost as much as
when unloading.
The railroad found it necessary to
maintain a large force of men at
each feeding station, 1t being found
more economic to do this than to
spend hours and hours loading and
unloading a train. This cost money
and lots of it, but there seemed nc
means of avoiding the expense. There
stood the United States courts ready
4 ia inflict 500 fine every time car
If sheep was not fed and watered
every Is hours. Employing the mer
was cheaper than fines.

Berlin, Oct. satisfaction to

CHAMPION
Builder OF Institutions Is
Father O'BFieD

kalamazoo, Mich, Oct. 13-One win
ter day, many years ago, the Rev. f.
A. O'Brein dean of St. Augustine's
parish, was called to the county Jail to
administer the sacrament to dying
man.
The Jail in those days was like most
jails. Father O'Brien asked what
crime the man was charged with, and
was surprised when told that there
was no charge whatever against him.
"Then what he is he doing here?"
asked Father OBrien
"Well, you see, Kalamazoo has no
hospital, and there is no other place
to take a sick stranger" replied the
turnkey.
Right then and there, amid the sor-
did surroundings of the dirty Jail, the
priest made a vow that he would not
rest again until Kalamazoo had hos
pital. And Kalmzoon got her hospital.
Father OBrien interested Bishop Bor-
CESS of Detroit, and Borgess. hospital
was begun in the spring. Now it's q
great big institution, rivaling the best
in the largest cities.
That seemed to fire the dean with
the building fever. He has been build
| ing ever since, so much so that it is
doubtful if there is another priest in
the country with as much to his cred
it. This is his building record since
he came here as rector in 1888.

Nazareth academy, for the education

Now, in his fifty-ninth year, Father
O'Brien is still building, and has {

city well under way. 1t Is generally
known that he will not be quite con
tented until he gives Michigan hi
