TUBERCULOSIS MOVEMENT In
CREASED 700 pen CENT.
New Directory Shows 1900 Agen.
Giles Engaged In Consump-
tlon Fight.

From statistics published today in the new
tuberculosis Directory of the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention of Tuber-
culosis tits ascertained that over 600 cities and
towns of the United States, besides about 100
in Canada, are engaged in the war against con-
sumption, and that on April LIST there were
nearly fifteen hundred different agencies at
work in the crusade, an increase of nearly roo
per cent in the last seven years.
The new Directory lists 421 tuberculosis
sanatoria, hospitals, and day camps; 511 asso-
Citations and committees for the prevention of
tuberculosis; S42 special dispensaries; 6S open
air schools; 98 hospitals for the insane and
penal institutions making special provision
for their tuberculosis inmates; besides giving
an account of the anti-tuberculosis legislation
in every state and in about $50 cities. The
Directory, which is the third Of its kind that
has ever been published in this country, gives
the most complete survey of the anti-tubercu-
losis movement that can be secured, and shows
the remarkable growth of this campaign in the
last seven years. The first Directory in 1904
showed only 1888 organizations and institutions
in the entire United States. The second
Directory in 1908 reported $40 different agen-
cies, as compared with 1440 in the new book.
Taking these figures as basis, the anti-tuber-
culosis movement has increased in force since
1904. nearly 700 per cent. and since 1908, over
los per cent.
The following table shows the growth of the
movement along the principal lines of activity
for each year since 1906

THEN AND NOW.

When Mr.. Augustus r. Wilson
was a candidate for the Office of
Governor of Kentucky upon the Re-
publican ticket, one of the strong
est charges brought against him by
the Democratic and Independent
press was that he was an erstwhile
land even them attorney of the
Tobacco Trust. II was alleged that
even while he was a candidate, he
was in secret collision with the To-
bacco Trust, and that should he be
elected, he would yet be one of the
most valiant allies of that baneful
organization which has done so
much towards disrupting the plans
of the farmers, especially in regard
TO the pooling of tobacco and OBJ
tanning a living price for same.
This allegation of the Democratic
press was booted at and derided by
the Republican newspapers of the
State, whose editors seemed verv
indignant that such a charge should
even be mentioned as affecting the
professional work or future official
actions of their pet candidate for

ing to an altitude of 125 feet from
the surface of the river.
The three brick structures are.
Eddyville's oldest landmarks, and
without doubt overreach the CEN
fury mark. Owing to the made
quate system of waterworks the fire
was hard to get under control, de-
spite the fact that citizens of all
classes worked faithfully to check
the flames. The water force was
scarcely strong enough to reach the
flames on the second story and the
diligent fire fighters were compell-
ed to resort to bucket brigades. The
court house was not damaged with
the exception of a portion of the
woodwork on the front side.
All the buildings are partly COW
cred by insurance. The Gaines Ho-
tel had about $4,000 insurance,
which will cover about half of the
loss. All the horses were gotten
out of the stable with the exception
of one.

that it has been impossible to pro-
