Prisons as Deathtraps.

That Is per cent. of the convicts in
the United States are victims of tu-
bercuiosis is the statement contained
in bulletin issued by the National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton of Tuberculosis. There are 10000
tuberculous prisoners in state, federal
and local prisons of the United States,
with less than Is special institutions
and hardly 800 beds for their treat
ment Some Of the prisons of Penn
sylvania, Kansas and Ohio show such
shocking conditions with reference to
tuberculosis that many wardens admit
that these places Of detention are
deathtraps. In the majority of cases
the only sure remedy is the dcstruc-
ton of the old buildings and the cree
tion of new ones. Concluding, the bnl-
letin says: "The facts that 100000
prisoners are discharged from the jails
and prisons of the country annually
and that from 10 to Is per cent. of
them have tuberculosis, make the
problem of providing places for their
treatment while they are confined a
serious one"

Had Money In Lumps.


Charles H. Rosenberg Of Bavaria
had Jumps on his shoulders, elbows,
and hips when he arrived here from
Hamburg on the Kaiserin Auguste Vic
toria. In fact, there was a series Of
smaller Jumps along his spine, much
like mountain range, as It is present

The Jumps were about the size Of
good Oregon apples, and as Rosen-
berg passed before the immigration
doctor for observation, the doctor said
softly to himself, "see that lump"
Then he asked Mr.. Rosenberg to step
aside.
"You seem like healthy man."
said the doctor, "but cannot pass you

''Those swellings is money"
Taking of his coat he broke open a
sample lump and showed that it con-

He informed the doctor that he had
$1,000 in all, with which he was 60

On the contrary, If you eat food known to
