lation Designed to Check Speed
of Tuberculosis.

What is designed by the National
Association for the Study and Proven
tion of tuberculosis as the most ad-
vanced legislation in the campaign
against tuberculosis that has been
enacted by any state in the United
States. if not by any country in the
world, is found in a bill recently
passed by the New Jersey legislature
and signed by Governor Wilson. The
new law provides that tuberculosis
patients who refuse to obey the regn-
lations laid down by the state board
of health concerning the prevention OF
their disease, and thus become men
ace to the health of those with whom
they associate, shall be compulsOrily
segregated by order of the courts, in
institutions provided for this purpose.
rules and regulations of the institu-
ton in which he is placed, he may be
isolated or separated from other per-
sons and restrained from leaving the
institution" The law further pro-
vides that all counties in the state
of New Jersey shall within six months
from April 1st make provision in spe-
cial institutions for the care OF all
persons having tuberculosis in these
counties. The state treasury will sub
sidize each county to the extent OF
SO week for each person maintained
in these institutions, except those
who are able to pay for the cost OF
maintenance.

An OccuIist Cook.

When certain Mobile man stopped
for luncheon at a small railway sta
ton eating house in Mississippi
town, an old darkey shuffled up and
and announced in a gruff voice the
bill of fare consisted of ham, eggs,
cornbread and coffee.
After due deliberation the traveller
stated that he would like some ham,
eggs. cornbread and coffee.
Such preteneious order for one
person only appeared to stagger the
aged survitor. But he soon recovered
his equanimity and started toward
the kitchen. Then he turned and
came back with the inquiry:
Boss. how will yo' hab dem eggs

dashed full speed to her destruction,
according to Ernest Gill. donkey en-
gine man on the steamship Cali mi
committee investigating the disaster.
He said Captain Stanley Lord Of the
Californian refused later to go to he
aid of the Titanic, the rockets from
which could be plainly seen.
This, Captain Lord denied; but both
he and his wireless operator acknowl
edged having seen rockets. Their ship,
they said, was fast in the ice.
Gill submitted an affidavit to the
committee, and when sworn and put on
the stand stuck to his charges against
the captain of the Californian.
He said he was standing on the
deck late Sunday night when he sight
ed great ship. sweeping along at top
speed, about ten miles off. He did not
know 1t was the Titanic, but made out
readily that 1t was not freighter or
a small vessel because OF the manner
in which it was illuminated.
Some time later ne saw distress rock
cts on the horizon. He says the cap,
tain was apprised of these signals,
but made no effort to get up steam and
go to the rescue The Californian was
drifting with the foe. So indignant
did he become. said Gill, that he ell
deavored to recruit committee of pro-
test from among the crew, but the men
failed him.
Captain Lord entered a sweeping de-
nial of Gill's accusations and read from
the Californian's log to support his
contention.
Cyral Evans, the Californian's wire
less operator, however, told OF. having
heard much talk among the crew, who
criticised the captains course. Gill,
he said, told him he expected to get
$500 for his story when the snip
reached Boston
Evans told of having warned the Ii
tanic only a brief time before the
great vessel crashed into the berg
that the sea was crowded with ice.
The Titanic's operators. he said.
at the time were working with the
wireless station at Cape Race, and
they told him to shut up and keep

SLOT SAVING MACHINES.

Slot machines as repositories for
savings have been found by a Buda-
pest banking concern to be an excel
lent means Of increasing the amount
IF money handled by its savings de-
partment. The slot machines are
placed in the street, and the persons
placing money in them are auto
matically given a receipt, which may
be exchanged against bank book,
Or kept until such time as the re-
ceiver is DESTROYS of Withdrawing the
deposit from the bank. The idea is
that people will deposit small
amounts, if relieved of the necessity
Of going to the bank to do SO, and
also that the sight of the machines
will cause them to deposit coins
within instead Of spending them.
The deposits of the bank have shown
a remarkable increase since the idea
was instituted.
