MADE BIG PROFIT FOR STATE
Purely Business Argument for the Es-
tabIIshment Of Sanitoriums for
the tuberculosis.

According to figures contained in the
annual report of DR.. H. L. Barnes, SUI
perintendent Of the Rhode Island state
s%anitorium, the earnings of the ex-
patients of that institution during the
year 1911 would amount to over 1885,.
GEO. This is a sum three times as
large as that spent each year for main
tenance of the institution, including
four per cent. interest and deprecia-
ton charges.
The actual earnings in 1911 of 40
ex%-patients were obtained by DR..
Barnes. These ranged from 50 to
$31 per week, the total earnings for
the year amounting to $102,752. On
this basis, DR.. Barnes computes the
figures above gwen. He says, how
ever: while institutions for the cure
Of tuberculosis are good investments,
there is good reason for thinking that
institutions for the isolation Of far
advanced cases would be still better
investments"
Out of a total of 1880 hospital days
treatment given, 39,147, or "a per
cent, were free, the treatment costing
the state on an average 5000 per pa
tient. Out of the 1873 free cases investi-
gated, Sc had 10 families and no In
come on admission to the sanitorium.
Out Of 1872 patients having homes, the
number in the family averaged SO, and
the average family earnings were
AZ In 20 oacoc tho fomf1ioc bod ~
income, and in only five cases were
there any savings, none Of which
amounted to as much as 800.
