When the time comes that an avia-

Churches and tuberculosis.

Statistics showing how serious a
problem tuberculosis is to the ordi-
nary church congregation have been
issued by the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tuber-
culosis. From reports received from
over 725 churches, with membership
OF over $4,000 communicates of
twenty denominations, and from 20S
cities and towns In IL states In vari-
GUS parts of the country, out of nearly
1000 deaths in 1910, over 700 or 10
per cent. were caused by tuberculosis.
This means 2.24 deaths for every thou
sand members or communicates.
While the percentage of deaths from
tuberculosis compared with other dis
eases is not higher in the churches,
according to these figures, than in the
country at large, the tuberculosis
death rate. as shown by the church
returns, is higher per thousand COM
municants than that for the general
population in the registration area of
the United States. which the census
bureau gave as 1.67 in 1909.

military officials. at that time gathered the Be
douins OF the region and gave them presents and
with great pomp, read a message from the Sultan.
AS part OF the ceremonies many of the Bedouin
boys were brought together to receive presents of
clothing. etc.. and to be circumcised. But re-
port was started that this would mark them for
being taken as soldiers later, and they fed from
the proposed rite.
These new government stations, and the at
tempts OF the officials to ingratiate themselves
with the Bedouins hitherto not subject to the gov
eminent, were in pursuance of a policy adopted by
the Constannople authorities about 20 years since
looking to breaking up the old nomadic and indie
pendent life and habits of these sons of Ishmael.
The plan was to get the Bedouin youth into q
special government school for them at CONSTANT
nople. to confer titles and give presents to the
chiefs, to gradually push forward among the tribes
the line which marked the limit Of the authority
OF the government. and finally to disarm and enroll
them with view to military service and tax-levy-
ing. However but little has been accomplished
along these lines
