CONSTANT DRAIN ON NATION
Cost of tuberculosis and Other Pre-
ventabIe Diseases Has Been
Put Into Figures.

While state commissions and other
bodies are trying to find a method for
reducing the cost of life insurance.
Prof. James w. Glover of the Uni
versity OF Michigan demonstrates that
every p~olicy-holder of a $4,000 or
binary whole life policy could save
about $40 a yea on his premiums II
tuberculosis and typhoid fever were
eliminated. tuberculosis alone causes
a loss to such a policy holder Of from
$16.70 at twenty to $3.50 at the age
of sixty. At age of twenty, with the
present high death rate from tubercu-
losis, this one disease alone shortens
the complete expectation Of life by
two years and 1853 days. While the
death rate from tuberculosis seems to
be declining, the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tuber-
culosis says that the combined effort
of every man, woman and child is nee
essary to bring about a radical reduc-
ton in life insurance rates such as
Professor Glover has indicated.

sea voyage. | went from Africa to
Marseilles in a trading steamer. From
there | took passage in a small brig
called the st. Cyr for New Orleans.
This sailing ship was not supposed to
carry passengers, but | made friends
with the captain and he was not averse
to making a few dollars for his own
pocket by taking me along. Strangely
enough, the poor old St. Cyr caught
fire on the day after her arrival in New

cargo blew her to atoms and the cap
tain and his officers were all killed. |

this morning."
There is some frightful plot behind
all this" l said. "Lidderdale, Alma is
dead, murdered-and God help us, you
are accused of the deed!"
He sank back in his chair and gazed
at me with staring eyes and pallid
face. l gave him a rapid account Of
what had taken place, and assured him
that l, for one, believed him guiltless
of the crime.
"All the same he said, II can see,
Halifax, that l am in an awful net.
The fact Isl cannot help it suspect
Colville. You have never seen the man,
but he is as like me as a twin brother"
But what motive could he have had
in committing such a terrible crime?"
| asked.
Jealousy" replied L~idderdale, with
out hesitation. Alma would never
have anything to do with him. sup
pos he used my name to get an inter-
view with her. But l seer to have
made a mess of things all around. 1t

tale. Since l left New York l have al

back | noticed, lying by its side, a
broken wine glass. Nearly half of the
upper portion OF the glass had been
smashed. but enough remained to al
low a dark stain TO show plainly in
the bottom. | examined it closely and
came to the conclusion that 1t was a
blood-stain. Now, from the appearance
of the broken glass | did not think for
a ONE that the dark stain was
caused by the victim. In all probabil-
ity the nan who had welded thek knife
had rushed, after the horrible deed was
done, 10 steady his nerves with a drink
of brandy. In his agitation he had
doubtless broken the top of the glass,
and perhaps cut himself in so doing:
the blood had poured down inside, and
now lay clotted in the bottom of the
glass.
suddenly remembered that | had
some microscopical slides and a cover
GLASS in my pocket. | look out the
case, slipped a slide away from its fel-
lows and, taking a smear from the clot
in the bottom OF the glass, put'lt on
the slide. AS soon as it had dried |
put the slide back into the cover glass
and left the house. | went straight to
my laboratory and submitted h slide
to the tests necessary for the thorough
examination of the smear of blood. |
had no sooner lone so than an eXcla-
nation of establishment escaped me.
This blood contained a quantity of the
a bic parasite, flaria perstans.
AS this parasite has never been con-
tracted anywhere except on the west
coast of Africa this fact proved con-
clusively that the blood was not that
of Mrs. Colthurst. 1t must therefore
follow, as a natural consequence, that
it could only come from a person VINO
had been in West Africa.
AS | eagerly studied the dark smear
! remembered a remark Lidderdale
had made. He told me thai when Col
vile and he parted company Colviile
had started to travel through Matabe-
land, across the Zambesi, into the Con-
go Free State. 1t was therefore quite
plausible that, on his way down the
Congo, while living among the natives,
Colville might have contracted, un-
known to himself of course, the para
site filaria perstans. | had studied
eastern diseases with care, and was
we'll acquainted with the peculiar ma
ture of this strange parasite. Was it
possible that I now held in my hand
the means of clearing my friend?

Election | went to the house of a spe-
cialist who was celebrated for his
knowledge of eastern diseases. Dr..
Materick and I were close friends, and
had lone some good work together. l
gave him a brief outline of my story
and showed him the stain on the mi
~croscopicaI slide. He looked at it care
fully, and c~orrOborated the discovery |
had made.
There is not the least doubt" he
said, that only a person coming from
the west coast Of Africa could contract
this parasite, as it is found nowhere
else in the world"
Then. Of course" | cried, this Is
of great importance to Lidderdale, who
has never, to my knowledge, been in
| West Africa"
Your friend has come, you tell me,
straight lrom South Africa. Well, we
can soon discover if he has the flaria
| perstans in his W blood; if not, the
natural conclusion is that he could not
have been the murderer. Blu before
| forget, | nave a somewhat remarka-
Bile thing to tell you. There is a pa
tent in my hospital at the present mo-
ment suffering from a disease called
the sleeping sickness, which is caused
by flaria perstans, and can only be
contracted in West Africa, although
this particular symptom may not show
itself until years after the person has
been there. Would you like to see the
case?"
Il certainly should" replied.
Well, | will call for you this after
noon and drive you to my hospital"
! At four o'clock that day | found my
self standing by the bedside of the pa
tient.
He will not recover" said Materick
in a low voice. The symptoms are
of an aggravated description. AS a
rule, the disease lasts from three
months to as many years, and is char
acterized by slowly increasing SOM
%nambulism and lethargy. These symp-
toms gradually increase until the pa
tient is almost continually asleep"
While Materick was speaking | was
watching the patient. He was a slen-
der, dark man; his face was bathed in
perspiration, his black hair was pushed
back from his forehead. Where had I
seea those features before, that some
what peculiar length of jaw, the shape
of the low forehead?
Look here, Materick!" l cried with
excitement; II believe that Providence
brought me to this bedside. The man
lying there has a look of Lidderdale.
The more watch him the more my
suspicion strengthens. The life of my
friend hangs in the balance. l should
like to hear the circumstances under
