tuberculosis and the Cost Of Living.

The chief cause of increase in Il e
cost of living, said one of the speak
ers at the recent meeting of the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis, is waste.
The waste he blamed for the high
cost of living was not the waste of
the careless housekeeper, but the
waste of prever table deaths and
sickness and preventable conditions
of low physical and men'al ef6oien-
cy. He argued that these wastes
together operated to bring about an
advance in the commodity prices.
They restrict the supply of the ne
cessaries of life by taking persons
out of productive enterprise, thus
making production more expensive.
This is a sensible argument. We
should not charge up the high cost
of living exclusively to the trusts
and national extravaganza. I'm
necessary disease is too important a
factor to be excluded. OF all the
preventable diseases tuberculosis is
the most costly, because as rule
its victims are confined to the pro-
ductive period of life.
Impressive statistics show in terms
of money the expensiveness OF that
disease. The total annual tariff rev.
enue of the United States is 20 per
cent less than the annual loss of
wages and cost Of sickness and
deaths due to it. More persons are
taken out of productive industry by
tuberculosis every year in the United
States than are wage earners in the
industrial state of Massachusetts.
Inc average Iamlly income IN the
United States is less than $500. SO
it would take the entire family in
come of 562, 500 householders to
pay the nations yearly tuberculosis
bill. One years loss from all pre-
ventable disease would pay the ma
uonal debt.
Assuming these figures TO be any
where near correct, there is no ques-
ton of greater moment, from an
economic point of view, that the
prevention of unnecessary disease.
From a humanitarian point of view,
none can compare with it.

The Lumbarmen'S Awakening.

To build up new businesses the
makers of numerous substitutes for
wooden building materials have done
considerable advertising. This fact
was forcibly brought to the attention
of the National Lumber Mauufac-
turers' Association at its recent con
vention in Cnicdgo, when it was
pointed out that the aggressive tao
tics of the makers of NV r. o ing
materials were hurting the trade in
shingles, while Other branches of the
lumber industry were suffering from
the publicity of the manufacturers
of finer packing cas- 5. metal WiIdow
frames, etc. / be consensus of
opinion is the convention was that
the profits of the lumberman would
continue to suffer inroads from the
active competition of the advertisers
unless they also should resort to
publicity to push the sale of the T
products.
1t is as true in other fields rs in the
lumber business the advertising gives
those who employ it an immense ad
vantage over non advertising com
petitors. Publicity must be met
with publicity. The man who
furnishes a house as we'll as The man
who builds one will buy the products
whose uses and merits are made
thoroughly familiar to him by eff
cient exploitation in the public
prints.

! u'CSS 81 mSlt / lS Is ut n IN the
near future to prevent the wholesale
destruction of fish and game in and
out of season, Kentucky fields will
be bare of binds and the streams
without FISH Even now there IS
t5Gr-iiit,ie use fG-thl sr~
and line, and the scarcity of game
and fish is a constant inducement to
violation of law in the shooting of
game out season and in the use of
dynamite and seines.
Two things are necessary for the
preservation Of the game and fish.
One of these is the protection of the
game now existing, and the other is
the stocking of streams and fields by
means of fish hatcheries and game
preserves.
The killing off of the game was a
result of prejudice against game
laws, based on the belief that game
laws were advocated solely for the
benefit of city hunters, but the peo-
pie now realize that good game laws
are for the benefit of everybody.
The Kentucky Fish and Game
Protective Association is now trying
to get ever hunter and fisherman in
the state interested in the passage of
better laws along this line. One Of
its plans is for the state to
charge license of one dollar per
year to every man who hunts on
other mems land, and TO charge
residents of Kentucky at least
ten dollars per year for hunting In
this state. Similar laws are now
and have for years been in force in
every state in the Uniln except
Kentucky and about three otter
states.
Under such law sufficient fun d
could be raised to employ men to
sec that the fish aud game laws are
enfoic d, and to provide stocks of
fish and game f)r every field and
stream in the state. OF course, If
man doesn't care a dollars worth
about hunting he wouldn't have to
have license, and the burden
would fall on those who would be
glad to pay SO small sum for so
much pleasure.
One of the big benefits to be de
rived by the farmers would be the
enforced EFT # h poslire aws
and keeping tresspassers oil heir
lands Under the present canli-
u ms, great many farmers fltGw
thems Ives to be imposed upon ralh-
er to than drive hunters away but
paid game warden would have no
snch feelings in the matter.
In order to make the employment
OF wardens non-politcal, it is pro-
posed to put the employment of the
wardens under the supervision of
non partisan commission OF four,
two TO be selected by the senate and
two by the house of representatives.,
who shall serve without compeusa-
ton except for necessary expenses
