Queer Brand of Poverty.

Before attempting to Impress stran-
gers with slum life it is we'll to take a
preliminary survey of your route" a
New York woman said. Not long ago
| entertained an up state friend who
wished an insight into the extreme
poverty of the city, | started out in
the hope of giving her something to
think about for the rest of her nat
ural life and succeeded beyond expec-
tations We had penetrated only Il
short distance into the poverty strick'
en- district when we saw signs in three
windows in one block advertising that
IA general housemaid was wanted
there. My friend refused to go step
farther.
IF that is the best you can show
me in the way of poverty. she said.

Imperial Valley press., 1912-02-21

found that in Denver, which also
makes this distinction in classifying
these deaths, the death rate from To-
cally acquired tuberculosis, while it
fluctuates somewhat, is low and is
certainly not increasing. California
also classifies these deaths according
to the length of residence and while
the line cannot be distinctly drawn
between imported and locally acquired
cases, yet the conclusion is that the
death rate from tuberculosis is no
higher in Southern California, which
receives most of the imported cases,
than it is in the central and northern
portions of the state. The abundance
of sunshine, which quickly destroys
the germ, and the possibility of out
door life in most of these cOmmuni-
ties. together with the supervision eX-
erciSed by doctors over this class Of
patients and the instruction given
them as to the spread of infection
and adoption of correct hygienic meas
ureS, make these communities as safe
for the general public as the commun-
tiles less favored by climate. The
Journal of the American Medical AS
sociation says that tuberculosis is no.
toriously a disease dependent on pow
erty, malnutrition, dust, bad air and
bad housing these conditions in the
closely populated industrial centers
with less supervision over the cases
really affording much greater oppor-
unity for the spread of this infection
than the presence of many open, but
supervised cases, as in the health re-
sort communities.

AMATEUR SMUGGLERS.

About % per cent of the amateurs

says:
Much Of our information concern

which brings results. We get infor

customers declaring how much cheaper
they may buy their goods abroad
