ONE BED .
For Ten Although Hospital
Provision for Consump-
tives Increases Fast.

NEW YORK. July 6.-Nearly 1900
additional hospital beds for consump-
tiyes in tweny-nine states were pro-
yided during the year ending June /,
according to q statement issued today
from the records OF the National As
ISOLATION for the Study and Pre9enA
ton OF Tuberculosis This makes a
total of over 10000 beds but only
about one for every ten INDECENT
tuberculosis patients in this country.
In the last five years, the hospital
provision for consumptiyes has In
creased from 1928 In 1907 to over
10000 in 1912. or over 100 per cent.
New York state leads in the. number
OF beds. having $3.50 on June j !;
Massachusetts comes next with $500;
and Pennsylvania, close third with
200 Alabama showed the greatest
percentage OF increase in the last
year by adding ffty-seyen new beds
to its forty-two, year ago. Georgia
comes next with 1O9 beds added to
$40 year ago New York has the
greatest numerical Increase, having
provided over 1900 additional beds
in the year.
only four states, Mississippi, Ne
vada, Utah and Wyoming have nc
beds whatever in special hospitals o.
wards for consumptives, Eight years
ago. when the National Association
was orianized. there were twenty-sis
states in which no hospital or san.
atorium provision for consumptiyei
existed, and the entire number OF beds
in the United States was only 10000
While these figures would indi.
cate a remarkable growth in. anti.

'ihsston Farrand, executive secretary
Of the National Association, in com
menting on this subject, there ar,
still practically ten INDECENT con.
sumptives for every one or the 10000
beds. including those for pay patients

Two planKs OF the platform adopted
by the national Democratic conven-
ton at Baltimore were supplied by
the Southern Commercial Congress .
The adoption of the planks, one
OF them on rural agricultural sys-

and immensely influential work the
Southern commercial Congress is
doing in the agricultural and indus

southern states and the nation.
Both pianks were prepared by
Senator Duncan U. Fletcher, Of
FLORIDA, and Dr.. C. j. Owens

At all times it is essential for the breeder or

must needs be kept as to the condition Of the

An Oppressive Trust.

Before the Coffee Roasters' Association, in ses-
sion at Chicago on Thursday, Thomas J. Webb,
Of Chicago, charged that there is in existence
coffee combine which is ''the most monstrous i'm
position in the history of human commerce.
There is very slight exaggeration about this
statement 1t comes very close to being literally
true. There is a coffee combine in Brazil. from
which country comes the bulk of tire coffee used
in the United States, which is backed by the gov
eminent of Brazil and financed by it, which CONF
pels American consumers Mr.. Webb said, ''to
pay famine prices for coffee when no famine
exists
The worst thing about this is that the consum.
ers of the United States have been compelled to
put up the money through which this combine,
to further cnch them, has been made effective.
There were formerly revenue duties imposed upon
all coffee entering the United States. Those taxes
were denounced as an imposition upon the people;
as taxing the poor mans breakfast table, and the
like. The taxes were removed. Immediately
thereafter Brazil imposed an export duty upong
coffee up to the full amount of the former customs
taxes in this country. The revenue which for
mery went into the treasury of the United States
was diverted to the treasury of Brazil. The poor
mans breakfast coffee continued to cost him the
same old price.
But this was only the commencement. The
''valorzation" plan was evolved in Brazil.
Through this plan the government using the rev.
enues derived from the export duties for the pur-
poses, takes all of the surplus crop in season Of
is-ge yields and holds it off the market, thus
keeping the supply down to the demands of the
market and permitting the planters to receive
much higher price than they would otherwise
have done.
The United States consumes more Brazilian cof->
fee than does the rest Of the world. We are the
best customers Of Brazil, and Brazil buys little
from us. Now Brazil is promoting, financing and
maintaining trust designed, and working effect
lively for the purpose, to compel American con.
auners TO nav an exorbitant price for the coffee
thew use. What is the remedy?-SeaHIe Postln-

Walkinn for Nerves.

The nerves suffer from want of pure
oxygen. They run like a network all
through the skin and when they are
overweight the skin is apt to be dry
and colorless. Walking is an excellent
tonic for the nerves. 1t gives them
strength to control themselves.

are plenty of other more enjoyable ex-
ercises. But few forms are so bene-
