ISOLATION for the STUDY and Pre-
vention of tuberculosis.


During the year 1909 over SS,OUO-
600 was expended in the fight against
tuberculosis. From reports gathered
during the last two months the Ma
tional association for the study ana
prevention of tuberculosis is able 10
announce that in 1910 nearly Sio,-
100000 was spent for anu-tuberculo-
sis work.
Probably the most significant tact
in connection with the statistics lot
1910 Is the increase in the percentage
OF public expenditures as contrasted
with private. In 1909, out OF a total
of $S,000,000 spent in tuberculosis
work, over $4,000. 900 or 53.5 per cent
was derived from public appropria-
lions, either federal, state. municipal
or county
In 1910, out of total recorded ex-
penditure of $14.S00,000, over $3.50
900 or 62.6 per cent came from pub
JIG funds, and 1913 per cent from pri-
yate sources.
No more significant figures than
these, as indicating the real trend OF
the anti-tuberculosis movement, can
be given. Experts are agreed that
the tuberculosis problem is too large
for private resources. and that the
eventual stamping out of this disease
demands the cooperation and finan-
cial support of all public and official
agencies engaged in health work.
In addition 10 the provisions for
municipal work. new heading
state work." has been added this
year This item includes state OK
penditures in tuberculosis work which
could not with certainty be classed
in any other group The following
table gives the amounts in each
group for 1909 and 1910:

stands at the head. with a total ont
lay of nearly S4.250.000 in 1910, as

Pennsylvania still maintains second
place, and Massachusetts makes
good third
During the year Michigan spent

The campaign against tuberculosis
has entered upon an era of increased
efficiency. The methods for the solu
ton of the problem are daily becom-
ing clearer. These include hospitals
sanatoria, and camps for all classes
OF cases, rich and poor. incipient ana
advanced. old and young Dispenser
les and provision for home treatment
with the accompanying visiting nurse
are among the pressing needs.
To interest and enlist all the so
cial. legislative. religious, Industrial
and other forces of the country IN
the carrying out of these methods
will mean the ultimate solution OF
the tuberculosis problem.

WASHINGTON, June 21.-The first
glimpse of the big stick which legisla-
tors have seen since March 4, 1909,
came today when President Taft can
celled his New Haven trip and de-
clared he was going to stay as long as
necessary to accomplish satisfactory
postal savings bank bill.
His announcement is apt to precipi-
tate a big fight as the insurgents and
democrats In the senate had evidently
solemnly set out to force changes IN
the bill, which the president demands
the senate accept without amendment
The president is angry clear through
After he had paved the way for the
senate to accept the house bill and
was assured that the measure would
go through without a hitch, he feels
indignant because several senators re
fused to fulfill this program. The ex
ecutive declared today that he was
ready to stay here all summer In or
der to see that the postal bill passes.

Mr.. SMITH STILL GUESSING
Mystery of Letter of Introduction Re-
mains Puzzle and Solution
Seems Afar Off.

When local professional man,
whom we shall call Smith, received a
call some time ago from stranger
bearing a letter of Introduction from
his friend Brown, Mr. Smith gave the
man cordial welcome For Mr.
Brown is close friend of Mr.. Smith
and he felt that any one recommended
by him must be worthy of the highest
esteem. He therefore laid himself out
to be agreeable and helpful, in COM
pliance with Browns note. The
stranger, whose name was Green,
proved to be most agreeable on bet
ter acquaintance, and soon he and Mr.
Smith became fast friends. About this
time Mr.. Smith and his new friend
CHANGED to meet upon the street their
mutual friend, Mr.. Brown. Mr.. Smith
grasped the hand of Mr.. Brown, greet
ed him warmly, and entered into con-
versation Soon he noted that neither
Brown nor Green displayed the slight
est sign of recognition.
Good gracious" he thought, have
they quarreled?"
But a furtiye glance showed him no
trace of anger in either, and he was
more nonplused than ever At last he
could endure the awkward situation
no longer.
Gentlemen" he explained, surely
you two are acquainted"
NO." said Brown; haven't had the
honor"
20" echoed Green; haven't had
the sure"
wv I'll be swizzled!" said Mr..
Smith. Mr.. Brown. Mr.. Green.
Shake hands"
Which they did
And now, dear reader, If you can
figure out the answer, please inform
Mr.. Smith who wrote that letter, for
| that Is what he has been trying tc
find out ever since.-Pittsburg Gazette

SHOWS BENEFITS OF YAWNING
Has Great Value In Diseases of the
Throat-strenethens Resplra-
tory Muscles.

Dr. Emil Bunzl of Vienna, In speak
ing of diseases of the throat and rem
edies, said that yawning had its great
value. Yawning has recently been
recommended independently as a val
liable exercise for the respiratory or
gans.
According to DR.. Naegli, of the Uni
versity of Luettich," said DR.. Bunzl,
"yawning brings all the respiratory
muscles of the chest and throat into
action and is, therefore, the best and
most natural means of strengthening
them. He advises everybody to yawn
as deeply as possible, with arms out
stretched, in order to change COM
pletely the air in the lungs and stimu-
late respiration. In many cases he
has found the practise to relieve the
dlfhculty in swallowing and disturb
ance of the sense of hearing that ac-
company catarrh of the throat The
patient is induced to yawn through
suggestion, imitation of preliminary
exercise in deep breathing.
Each treatment consists of from
SIX to eight yawns, each followed by
the operation of swallowing. 1t
should be added, however, that 1t is
quite possible for deep breathing to
be overdone, particularly by Persons
with weak hearts and it is at least
open to question whether the OBJ
stacles to free respiration. which the
yawning cure is alleged to remove.

trance of germs and other foreign
bodies"
