Churches and Tuberculosis.

Statistics showing how serious a
problem tuberculosis is to the ordi-
nary church congress on have been
issued by the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tuber-
culosis. From reports received from
over 725 churches, with a membership
of over $4,000 communicates of
twenty denominations, and from 20S
cities and towns in - 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 COMMITMENTS.
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

where the offending firemen found
their cots transferred to rear room,
where they were less likely to dis

Now the suggestion has been made
to Marshal Seyferlich that one of two
things should be done The snorers
should all be made members of the
same company where they could have
no excuse for grumbling II kept awake
at night, or provision should be made
at the flrehouses for separate quar-
ters for snorers, so that the other
members can have peace. The de-
velopment of the snoring habit with
some of the tiremen is responsible for
the latest propositions and also for
bringing out the fact that it is not
considered trivial subject of COM
plant, though there is nothing per-
sonal in the matter. AS rule firemen
who snore are among the bravest,
hardest workers and most popular
members of the department.

other firemen keep jerking it during

of the confirmed snorers of the fire de-

What there is about the work of a

A WIDOWS LUCK
Quit the Thing That Was Slowly In
juring Her.

A woman tells how coffee kept her
from insurlng her life:
Il suffered for many years chiefly
from trouble with my heart with
severe nervous headaches and neu-
ralgia; but although incapacitated
at times for my housework, did not
realize the gravity of my condition till
was rejected for life insurance, be-
cause, the examining physician said,
my heart was so bad he could not pass
me.
This distressed me very much, as
was widow and had child de-
pendent upon ME. 1t was to protect
her future that l wanted to insure
my life.
Fortunately for me, happened to
read an advertisement containing a
testimonial from a man who had been
affected in the same way that l was
with heart trouble, and who was bene-
fitted by leaving off coffee and using
Postum. l grasped at the hope this
held out, and made the change at
once.
MY health began to improve imme-
diately. The headaches and neuralgia
disappeared, gained in flesh, and my
appetite came back to me. Greatest
of all, my heart was strengthened
from the beginning. and soon all the
distressing symptoms passed away. No
more waking up in the night with my
heart trying to fly out of my mouth!
Then l again made application for
life insurance, and had no trouble in
passing the medical examination.
1T was seven years ago hat be-
san to use Postum and l am using 1t
still, and shall continue to do SO, as
find it a guarantee of good health"

Professors of Economy Differ in

Economics at Harvard Discovers
That 500 Is Fair Estimate

Cambridge, Mass-The California
state board of health recently fixed
the value of a baby at $4,000, sum
considered far too low by Prof. Edwin
r. A. Seligman OF Columbia univers-
ity, who declares that baby less

comes Prof. Thomas Nixon Carver,
who Is at the head of the chair Of
economics at Harvard, who using a
hypothetical case discovers that 800
is fair value for the average person.

their estimate is not necessarily the

that of society in general For ex-
ample, certain man is reported to
have said that he regarded each of
his children as worth Sl00,000,000, but
that he would not give cents for an
other one. Therefore, we must ex-
clude from consideration the value Of
