Waste of Death Is Greatly Lessened

is like stopping the waste of life in a
great a 1t is equivalent to ward
ing off death $3.50 times every month,
1867 every week, 24I times a day.
1t averts ten deaths every hour, ono
every six minutes day and night,
from one years end to the next.
If the economic value Of the lives
saved by lowering the death rate II
the United States-the results of bet
ter and more careful living-is placed
at no more than an average Of 81, 900
apiece, the effect of cutting down the
mortality $1,000 in a year is much
the same as preventing the waste OF
$s1 900. 900 dealing with this great
economy in human life on the hardest
and narrowest industrial and com
mercial basis.
The gradual change for the better
in respect to saving life and warding
off death is not confined to the United
States. It is going on in other coun-
tries. also Throughout the civilized
world. there is a general change for
the better in the conditions of liy-
ing and in the chances for life itself.
The conservation of human life is ono

These posts also are one of the

After a Visit to the Holy Land Ever
a Skeptlc Must Be Con
WINGED.

One thing cannot fail to impress
every visitor to Bethlehem, and, in
deed. to the Holy Land generally. who
is imbued with true Christian faith
and a proper sense Of the sanctity
of the location and of the events that
have TRANSFERRED there, and that Is the
than remarkable correspondence
between the things and places shown
us today as having been associated
with the life and work of the Saviour
and other events that enter into the
structure Of our religious faith and
the descriptions and accounts Of them,
as furnished us In the pages of the
Holy Scriptures. They agree with
them in every respect and it Is i'm
possible, after carefully considering
and comparing them, to doubt their
identity, so exactly are they in accord
with the Bible narrative.
The work In the fields. the arrange
ment of the buildings, the very arti-
cles Of diet and clothing of ancient
days are plainly recognizable in the
doings and surroundings of today. In
deed, where modern methods have not
become obtrusive the manners and
customs Of the people remain much
the same as in the days Of the pres
ence on earth OF the Saviour. Be
tween the descriptions given In the
Bible OF localities, climatic n geo
graphical conditions. distances, etc.
OF these times and those of today
there Is hardly n discrepancy. Even
a skeptic, considering this remarkable
accord Of circumstances with the
Biblical narrative. cannot out be con-
vinced of its veracity; to the believer
1t N as a wonderful conviction,
a satisfactory corroboration or en-
couragement to see things as those
who described them SO graphically
saw them so long ago.-Coiumbian

Within the last two years the mum.
Der of state institutions for tubercu.
Flosis has doubled. and the number OF
county and municipal institutions has
Increased from about 30 to 80. The
expenditures of public money for the
treatment of tuberculosis also has
more than doubled. Not less than
$3,000.0 900 of state none was appro-
priated for tuberculosis institutions
In 1909. when 43 legislatures met. and
over 100000 in 1910, when only II
legislatures were in session. The ap-
preparations Of counties and cities for
tuberculosis hospitals and sanitor1a
In the last two years will aggregate
fully $4,000, 900, bringing the total
Of official appropriations for tubercu-
losis hospitals up to yer $4,000, 900
In the past two years.
In spite, however, of this good show
ing. the National Association for the
Study and Prevention OF tuberculosis
states that not one-tenth Of the pub
lie provision for tuberculosis thai Is
needed has been made. More than
10000 tuberculosis patients are IN
