tuberculosis Affects Poor.

That nearly all children of poor families
are affected with tuberculosis in latent
form by the time they reach the age of 16
years, but that this latent infection is dis
tinctively protective and gives, in most
cases an immunity against fatal tuberculo-

in the annual address of DR.. William H.

WOMEN IN WALL STREET.
Brokers Say That Most of Them Are
Not Good Losers.

Women spectators have a habit OF
giving to brokers orders with a string
attached TO them A woman who
owned some bank stock asked a broker
10 sell il al $3.50 if he thought she could
not get any more for il.
! The market in this stock had been
inactive for months. and $3.50 was the
/ highest price ever recorded for II. The
next day the broker had a chance To
| sell the stock for $3.50.
II so happened that on the same day
lively demand for this bank stock
! developed and before the day was over
! il was selling for $500
The broker wrote to his woman Gus
toner that he had sold her stock for
$3.50 a share and would she send her
certificate to him for delivery to the
purchaser She refused 10 deliver the
stock.
You ought to have known better
than 10 sell il for $3.50, she remon-
strated. :" am going to sell il today
myself for $500
II was not until the broker appealed
to the courts that he succeeded in get.
ting the stock from the woman.
Here is another sample of the way
women play the market. A woman
customer of a Wall Street brokerage
house telephoned the manaper one day:
How is Pennsylvania
''It's selling at 1872.
Gwen. | wish YOU would sell my
fifty shares al 1925. But if il looks
strong at 1925 don't sell It, -
When Pennsylvania touched 1922 ii
did not look unusually strong. and the
broker sold the woman S shares. Later
in the day she telephoned:

"But l We already sold it at 1929.

But it wasn't very strong at that
time. -
at must have been or it would I
have gone up. m going to take my
account ont of your office -
The broker gave long. grateful
sigh.
Therefore the dictum of Wall Street
is that women are good winners. but
bad losers. II is difficult to reason
about money and business with an
angry or weeping woman. Her view

The spoils of the Post Office System
