WOMEN IN TUBERCULOSIS WAR.

What women have done in the last
four years in the campaign against
tuberculosis is discussed 10 an interest
ing report issued today by the national
association for the study and prevention
of tuberculosis.
Four years ago the only active women
workers in the anti-tuberculOsis move
ment were little group of about 30
women's CLUBS Today 100000 women
under the health department of the gen.
eral federation Of women's clubs 10 every
state and territory OF the United States
are banded together against this disease,
aud more than 1000 cluos are taking
special interest IN the crusade. Not less
than 100000 is raised annually by them
Tor tuberculosis work, besides millions
that are secured through their efforts 10
state and municipal appropriations.
Mrs. Rufus Z. Williams is the Chairman
of the department that directs this
work.
In addition to the work of the general
federation of women's CLUBS, the public
health education committee of the Amer
lean medical association, composed
largely of women ply slcIans, mas carried
on an educational campaign Of lectures
during the past ear In which thousands
have been reached. The mothers COZ
gress, the young womens christian asso-
citation and many unattached clubs
bring the number of women united IN
the tuberculosis war to we'll over a mil
lion. There Is not a state 10 the union
where some work has not been done.
Through the activity OF women, sana.
toria and hospitals for the treatment OF
tuberculosis have been erected; travel
ing libraries have been circulated; post.
ers, circulars and other kinds of litera.
ture have been distributed to the num-
Der of millions Of pieces; thousands of
lectures have been given, large sums of
money have been secured, hundreds of
! needy cases have been helped; tubercu-
losis work has been started in many
communities where no movement had
existed; and millions of women have
learned the dangers and methods OF
prevention of tuberculosis.
The work of the women extends from
the drawing room of the rich TO the
homes of the poor aud embraces al
classes, including the factory girl and
millionaire. During the coming year
special campaign of lectures to women
will be carried on in all parts of the
United States

FRATERNAL INSURANCE
WARFARE AVERTEO
Action of Associated Fraternities AT
fects Outstanding Insurance
Certificates.

Copied from the Chicago Record
Herald Sept, q, 1910.
Mobile, Sept 26. Warfare among the
fraterua insurance societies of the coun
try, which threatened the destruction Of
many Of the Orders and the loss of hun
dreds of millions of dollars Of protection,
has probably been averted by the agree
ment reached here today between the
warning factions, which have been divid
ed over adequate rates.
The associated Fraternities OF Amer
lea have receded from their position OF
antagonism and have pledged themselves
in writing to accept the provisions guar
ranteeing approach to solvency which
they repudiated at their Atlantic City
meeting last month. They have con-
ceded even more and agreed that socie-
ties which are not able to show the
required improvement ia solvency must
stop taking 10 members at inadequate
rates, taking them ia hereafter only at
rates adequate and with the funds kept
separate.
EFFECT FAR REACHING.
This action effects 100000 fraternal
insurance certificates outstanding 10 the
United States, only about 100000 of
which are paying rates regarde as ade-
quate to carry out their obligations. If it
is approved by the National convention
of Insurance Commissioners, which be-
gins its annual meeting here to- morrow,
it will stop an attack which would
probably have put scores of Orders
carrying hundreds of millions of pro-
lection in the hands Of the receiver,
within the next few years.
The state insurance officials were sure
that great calamaties overhuEg the frat
ernal system unless the rates were made
adequate or unless societies agreed with
the fraternal representatives who last
summer framed a compromise bill paving
the way for adequate rates through an
nual valuations and their publicity.
STRONG BAN THREATENED.
When this latter plan was repudiated
the state officials threatened much more
drastic action, and many of them would
have urged laws forbidding the writing
Of fraternal insurance except on adeq uate
rates. Examinations which would reveal
insolvency we're also threatened.
The Fraternals are divided into two
warning bodies, the Fraternal Congress
including those favoring adequate rates
and the Associated Fraternities which
want to be let alone on the rate question
The latter found that their repudiat
ion of the agreement, which is nov
charged chiefly against the Woodmen o
the World, had lost them public and
official favor, so they sent committee to
meet with the fraternal committee OF
the commissioners with written author

Kings entrance was the signal for an
immediate transfer of interest. The

remark that he had quite finished his
suggestions. The prime minister came
forward to greet the momentarily shy
American.
