THE TUBERCULOSIS CRUSADE.
Millions Of Dollars Spent AnnuaIly-New
York Takes the Lead Among the States
OF the Union.

OF the Union.
Based on reports gathered from all
parts of the United States, the National
Association for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis issues a bulletin in which
it is stated that SS1SO,62l.50 was ex-
pended during the year just closed by
the various interests fighting consump-
ton in the United States. The bulletin
which is preliminary to a longer report,
shows that in the year 1909 over 10 900, 900
pieces of literature were distributed, and
that nGSl2 patients were treated and as
sisted by the sanatoria, dispensarles and
anti-tuberCulosis associations.
BY far the largest amount OF money
spent during the past year was for the
treatment of tuberculous patients in san
atoria and hospitals, S., ,292 2S9. II being ex-
pended in this way. The anti-tuberculosis
associations spent 1915, $50. .46, the tubercu-
losis dispensaries and clinics 500, ,474 64
and the various municipalities, for special
tuberculosis work, spent S1,l11 967.53. The
anti-tuberculosis associations distributed
the most literature, spreading far and
wide 100000 copies Of circulars, pam
phlets, and other printed matter for the
purpose of educating the public about
consumption. The health departments of
the different cities also distributed more
tnan 1.056 900 copies, which, with the work
done by state departments of health
during the year well over 100000 The
largest number of patients treated during
the year was by the dispensaries, where
6l' $50 patients were given free treatment
and advice. The sanatoria and hospitals
treated 3S,75S patients, while anti-tu
culosis associations assisted 16,96S.
New York state leads in the anti-tuber-
culosis work done during the past year,
having spent more money, distributed
more literature and treated more patients
than any other state. PennsylVa mia
comes next and Massachusetts is third.
The next seven states are Illinois, Mary
land, New Jersey, California, Colorado,
Connecticut and Ohio.
Although the survey of the past years
work shows that much has been done,
the reports from all parts of the country
indicate tnat next year the amount OF
money to be expended, and the actual
number of patients that will be treated
will be more than double that of the past
year. For instance, special appropriations
have been made in the various municipal
tiles for next years anti-tuberculosis
work, aggregating S3976,5OO. In addition
to these appropriations over S40OO,000 has
been set aside by the different state leg
islatures for the campaign against tuber-
culosis next year. Besides these sums, a
large number of the present existing in
stitutions and associations are planning
engagements of their work, and new
organizations are being formed daily.

Darius o. Mills 81. who died suddenly
from heart disease Monday in his winter
home near San Francisco, was the last
survivor of a remarkable group of men
who aided in the early development OF
California, and who amassed enormous
fortunes for themselves in the growth
which they shrewdly anticipated. Mr.
Mills was a native of Westchester county
New York, and he gave up banking po-
sition in Buffalo TO join the rush of
pioneers to California in 40 He de-
voted his energies to banking in Cali
fornia many years, but since 1880 had

lawyers could resort to having failed
Morse was taken to the prison early this
week to begin serving his sentence of
Is years imprisonment Morse was con-
vcted of misapplying funds of banks
which he controlled. 1t is claimed that
in a year of freedom which he enjoyed
while his case was pending he was able
to pay off over $7000,0O0 of his indebted
ness Though his manipulations and to re-
gain control of some of the steamship lines
which he formerly owned. In an inter
view Monday Morse denounced his SEN
tence as the most brutal ever given a
citizen" He said he was made scape-
goat by government mad in search of a
victim" and charged that the jurors who
decided his fate were a rum-drinkng
crowd 1t is generally believed that
Morse was given a fair trial, and that
his banking methods were in violation
of the spirit and letter of the law de-
signed for the protection of investors and
the preservation of the integrity of the
national banking system.

function of the chancery side of the
court which he represents, to rule the
legality and validity of the ordinance,
but is rather up to the law side of the
court. Accordingly he ignored the or
dinance and took into consideration
only the other points which were made
by the petitioners. The latter based
their demand that the ordinance be
declared invalid upon statement from
the Illinois state standard commission
to the effect that on Aug. 5 that body
set a new standard on ice cream which
requires but 8 per cent butter fat
whereas the standard was formerly Il
per cent, as the city ordinance requires
The city officials have had no notitica
ton of this change in the state laws
and they are not inclined to take cog
nizance of it until properly notified
If it is true. however, that this change
was made it will undoubtedly render
invalid that portion of the city ordi
nance which says that ice cream in
order to be legal must have II per
cent butter fat.
