 The Cost of Tuberculosis
 Irving Fisher Ph. D.. professor of eco- monies at Yale university. read a paper from the topic, "A Revised Estimate of the Economic Cost of Tuberculosis,'' be- fore the sociological section.
 The paper reviewed the statistics of tuberculosis since 1908, when Professor Fisher gave a report on this subject be- fore the International Congress on Tu- berculosis. At that time he showed that tuberculosis costs the country over $100,- 000,000 a year, of which at least $40 000.000 and probably much more. were costs borne by others than the victims of the dis ease.
 These costs include the costs of sick ness and loss Of earnings suffered by the families whose wage-earners are first crippled and then killed by the disease. At the same congress Professor Wilcox estimated that the losses to society from tuberculosis were s650,O00.OO0, and Profes- sor Glover of the University of Michi- gan showed that the losses from the deaths of men workers alone were $42,- GOO, 900 for every $100 of yearly earnings.
 
 years ago are now confirmed by Profes- sor Fishers estimate of 1912, and they all substantially agree in the conclusion that the annual actual monetary loss to so- ciety from tuberculosis. without counting the losses to the victims of the disease themselves, exceeds half billion dollars a year The figure for this social loss will reach at least $5700O0,000.
 Share of the Laymen
 The share of The Layman in the Anti Tuberculosis Campaign was described by Col J. L. Ludlow of Winston-Salem. N. C.. in a paper read tonight before the advisory council.
 Tn community life, tuberculosis Is a social burden of vastly comprehensive proportions" the speaker said. Tt in- wolves practically every other phase of civic life in which are usually classed our social problems. Even immortality and vice cannot be- excepted. The causes Of tuberculosis and it's prevention, embrace the problems of child labor regulations school facilities, housing condition, low wages. long hours, cost of living fac- tory conditions. private and public san itation As each of these pertain to per- sonal and public health and to the inl- pairment of physical strength and vigor, so do they measure the effective infec- ton and prevalence of tuberculosis In community life

Story of Killing

The murder of Lawrence B. Evans oc- cured on the 3d day Of October, 1911. He was shot from ambush about a hundred yards from the Mary Lee mines. where he was employed as mine superintendent.
 MT. Evans and man named Payne got in q buggy at the mines to drive to Lew isburg. They were about half way up the public road that leads from the mines when shot rang out and Evans fell back, the bullet entering below the right shoulder blade and coming out below tile left breast Although his companion was sitting next to the side of the road from which the bullet was fired. he was un- harmed The investigation shows that Evans had been shot with rife of large calibre.
 The assassin made his escape, but the murder aroused public sentiment and Gov einor O'Nea a the solicitation of Sheriff McAdory offered a reward for the capture and conviction of the assassins. This re- ward was supplemented by one from Sheriff McAdory, but like many of the other murders that had been committed in that locality it seemed destined to re- main a mystery.

Burr Closes for State

Borden Burr made the closing argu- ment for the state. He contended that the state had made case against Jones even without the confession. He denied the implied charge that the confession had been wrung from the defendant by moons of promises but that on the other hand 1t was proven by preponderance of testimony that 1t was made voluntarily.
 He pointed out to the jury the al- legged defects in the albi sought to be established, showing alleged con- tradictions in many of the essential points. He closed by an appeal to the jury to do their duty as citizens of the county and to render such a yer dict as their consciences dictated.
 Judge Greene then gave the charge, which included a number of written charges presented by the defendants s attorneys.
 At d late hour last night the jury had not reached verdict,

THE STRAPONTIN.
Found In Partisan Theaters. II Is .
DeIusion and a Snare.

In every Paris theater there are two
or three score "strapontins" You won
der what strapontin is? Well. it is
folding or strap seat on the aisle at
tached to the side of the aisle chair of
the orchestra or balcony rows. 1t has
neither sides nor back and Is without
visible means of support except
through affiliation and attachment.
The unsuspecting American tourist
whose stay in Paris is but n matter Of
days approaches the Partisan box Of
fee and Is shown the diagram by
the middle aged lady with the blond
curls. Guilelessly the visitor indicates
what he believes to be an aisle seat
and congratulates himself on his luck
at so late an hour in capturing it,
A few minutes later he has paid his
10 cents for a program and tipped the
woman attendant who shows him to
his strapontin. 1t is as devoid of legs
or feet. this strapontin, as of arms
and vertebrae. a device to be Stunned
and tabooed. You squirm to make
yourself comfortable. to secure some
attitude whereby the hardships of the
strapontin may be annihilated. but in
vain. 1t drives from your mind the
most seductive music, the most dra-
matte episode fails to affect you. and
your thoughts are forced back on the
instrument of torture which has cost
you the full 10 francs. the price of an
orchestra chair.-New York Press.

KANAA BURIAL GROUNDS.
eoIivia's Fearsome Valley of the shad-
ow of Death.

8olivia's Fearsome valley OF the Shao-
ow Of Death.
There is a valley in Bolivia. South
America, which might we'll be called
the Valley of the Shadow Of Death. 1t
has been inhabited for an Indefinite
period of years by the Kanaa Indians.
who are kindred to the various South
American tribes and number now only
a few hundred souls.
That they were once a very powerful
tribe is indicated by the condition OF
the land which they az Il tribe still in
habit. One cannot travel any distance
through their land without coming
upon the old and forsaken burial
grounds Of the Kanaa dead. These
places cannot be called graveyards. for
the bodies are not buried. but rather
placed upon elevated platforms, wrap
ped in the garments of death and
bound to the crossbeams that they
may not be displaced.
In one of these burial grounds there
will be probably fifty high skeleton
platforms. and on each will lie from
three to Eve of the Kanaa dead. The
air in that part of Bolivia is very pure
and preservative. for it is one of the
highest plateaus Of the continent, al
though Kanaa valley is just little
below the plateau's height A traveller
passing through that land at night and
by moonlight would be awe stricken at
the gloomy vision those graveyards
present.
