In a comparative study OF the cost
OF maintenance in thirty tuberculosis
sanatoriums the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of tn.
berculosis found that the food cost in
most of the institutions represented
one-third OF the annual expenditures.
The average daily food cost per pa,
tient was $0.544. The expenditures for
salaries and wages represented nearly
another third, being SO.4S1 per day per
patient out of total of S1.669, The
fuel, oil and light cost was $0.206 per
capita per diem. or about one-eighth
OF the total cost The daily cost IN
the several institutions ranged all the
way from $0.946 per patient to $2.555
In the far west and southwest. as in
Colorado and New Mexico and Cali
fornfa, the cost was higher than in the
east, in New York and New England,
being $2.025 per patient as against
$l.74S. The total expenditures of the
thirty institutions were $l,363, 953. %,
while the total receipts from all
sources were $1,548,B25.74 More than

Starvation or Disarmament.

Since 1907 the price of bread has
advanced $40 per cent. in Austria. So
startling has been the increase In the
cost of living in that country that the
government may take steps to check
the advance in prices. If Austria
would send a good part of her great
standing army out to till the fields 1t
would help some, but the government.
probably, will take no such radical
step as that, as with an unprotected
border they might not have any 1elds
to till. The deplorable economic con-
ditions in that country, however, are
undoubtedly due in large part to mill
tarism. Disarmament does not seem
near, but threatened starvation is a
mighty argument for its accomplish
ment.
