 pr. Mclaughlin declared that the eco homie loss caused by typhoid fever in this country is slOO.0O0,0O0 year.
 That in 90 of the largest American cities the typhoid fever death rate ay- eraged 25 persons per 100000 population as against 5.6 persons per 100000 population for 33 leading cities of northern Europe.
 That in 1909 there were more cases Of typhoid fever in the United States than there were cases of plague in India.
 That every case of typhoid fever was due to somebody's ignorance or careless ness.
 pr. Mclaughlin then compared the typhoid fever death rate of fifteen large northern European cities With l5 or the largest American cities in 1910 as follows. European cities: Edinburgh, 13 per 100 O00 Munich, IA; Stockholm, IS; Dresden. 22, Antwerp, 2.3; Berlin, 2.s; London 3.3; Copenhagen, 3.6; Vienna, 3.S; Liverpool 39 Belfast, 3.9; Birmingham Ss; Ham burg, Al; Lyons, Al; Paris, 5.6.

 "No single measure in reducing typhoid fever on a large scale approaches the el- feet of substituting safe for polluted water supply Every case of typhoid fever Is due to somebody's ignorance or care lessness. Now in regard to carelessness or criminal negligence, the punishment should fit the crime but for ignorance the remedy Is not punishment. but educa- tion. It.is precisely in this matter of edu- cation that your association can achieve the greatest good. The educational cam paign must be directed against improper disposal of sewage impure milk supplies. flies, uncontrolled cases of typhoid filthy personal habits of individuals, and, above all. against contaminated public water supplies"

Speaker at Single Tax Dinner
Shifts Burden from Trusts.

Not the trusts, but the landlords are re-
sponsible for the conditions to-day, accord
ing to George l.. Busby, speaker at the
twenty-sixth annual dinner Of the Manhat-
tan Single Tax Club at Kalil's Restaurant,
Park Place, last night
That men are out Of work" said Mr.
Busby, lis due to the fact that few own
the land. Capital and labor are so ignorant
that they do not recognize their common
enemy. Capital and labor are allied in
common cause against the monopoly Of
the land. The interests OF capital and labor
are identical. Both should seek release
from the trap in which they are held.
IL do not mean to say that all landlords
make money. I believe that % per cent OF
the speculations are failures. The single
tax does not mean that there Would he a
change of title. II would merely concen-
trate tax on land"
