MADE BIG PROFIT FOR STATE
Purely Business Argument for the Es-
tablishment of Sanltoriums for
the tuberculosis.

According to figures contained in the
annual report of Dr. H. L. Barnes. SUI
perintendent of the Rhode Island state
sanitorium. the earnings of the ex-
patients of that institution during the
year 1911 would amount to over $685.
900. 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 We're, obtained by DR..
Barnes. These ranged from So to
S3l per week, the total earnings foS
the year amounting to S102,752. On
this basis, DR.. Barnes computes the
figures above given. 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 total of 46,450 hospital days
treatment given, 39,147. or 81 per
cent. were free, the treatment costing
tne state on an average @zVo per pa
tient. Out of the 1888 free cases lnvesti-
gated. Sc had no 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
SAC. In 80 cases the families had no
income, and in only five cases we're
there aDy savings none of which
amounted to as much as 800.

roll in his safe at home, and the only
reason he gave for 1t was that the
old man was getting cranky. | be-
came deeply interested In the story.
owing to the hard times that had
struck the firm of Wooley & Spengler,
and tried to get Temple to fix limit
on the old mans pile. He couhn't
or wouldn't do 1t, and sent Andy up
to Dobbs Ferry to take look at the
Temple mansion, to find out what
sort of n prospect there was for an
exchange of the Temple bank-roll.
The house was far In the country and
about on the dividing line with Hast
iugs. Andy came back with report
kick of goose. and the coin-box was
like finding 1t in the street. | did not
exactly relish going back to old
tricks, but something had to be done,
and that was all there was about 1t.
The plan of the house showed that it
was adapted for second-story work,
and there were only two men who
lived in it. One was my young friend
Temple and the other was the old
man. The other inmates were women;
two or three daughters and domes-
tic servants. Andy was not able to
get the location of the strong box.
so as to know what tools could best
he used to open 1t. Did you ever
know that safes must be tackled in
different ways when made by diff
ferent makers?
We picked out for our visit a very
stormy night. when we knew that
young Temple was in the city blow
ing In his allowance. This left us
only the old man to deal with and the
women. We went up the river on an
early train as far as Yonkers and
there | got a carriage from a solid
friend of mine who knew enough to
keep his mouth shut and ask 70
questions. We reached the Temple
house before midnight. All the lights
were out and Andy went up pillar
on the back piazza to the roof and
fastened rope ladder for future use.
We got into the house in about five
minutes. We went to the different
rooms on the second floor and found
old Temple alone in bed asleep.
There was no one In the adjoining
rooms. and l woke him up. made
things plain to him: 1t was simply to
give up the safe combination or lose
his life. He was badly scared. and
said that he would open the strong
box. He got up. shaking like leaf,
and took us to an office OFF the dining
room. | made lights in several rooms
so that the light in the office would
not attract attention, while Andy had
the old man working on the lock.
When | returned to the Office the old
man groaned suddenly. placed his
hand over his heart and fell heavily
against the safe door. He was un-
conscious, and we carried him into
another room, opened the safe and
cleaned it out. We reached New
York before daylight with big roll
of securities and s45.OOO in money"
