WEALTH or THE NATIONS
mendousiy Good Showing In
Worlds Financial Column.

For all Its Wanted wealth the Unit
ed States, In SO far as per capita ratio
goes. does not make such a tremen-
dously good showing In the worlds
financial column. The wealth In the
United States in 1910 was estimated
at 1925, 900, 900, 900, by far the greatest
amount credited in bulk to any one
country. Yet the pei capita wealth
was only 1889. Great Britain In 1909
was worth 1888. 725, 900, 900, each person,
according to the census, thus getting
$1,972. France, with $780, 900, 900, 900 In
1910 had a per capita wealth OF
$2,070; Germany had $50, 500, 600, 900,
with q per capita of $1,000. Russia's
total wealth was $50, 00o, 000, 900, but
its enormous population dragged the
per capita down to $500. while Swift
zerland, with a total wealth of only
So 5000, 600, 900, has a per capita rating
of 1856. The per capita division in
Sweden amounts to S402 out of a total
of s2,197, 000, 900. Switzerland, in the
last few years, made a 20 per cent.
gain In national wealth. The average
per capita wealth In the rs cantons
sanges from 1885 in<Geneya to 1919
In Tessin. Switzerland thus stands
ve-y high. The population in 1921
was 1s885,229, SO that In 80 years
time it has not doubled. France. 1t
will be noted, stands at the head of
the nations with a per capita wealth
of 5000. That the United States,
with its enormous total, does not rank
higher is because of the rapidly in
creasing population. France, on the
contrary, has reported a diminishing
or at the most q very slowly increas-
ing populations so that the money adj
vance has become greater than the
birth rate.

ASKS FEW
QUESTIONS OF Mr.. TAFT
Metuchen, March Is, 1912.

h1tIuGhSA, vi Az 80
EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
On next Tuesday evening, March
10th, the voters of Metuchen will be
called upon to decide who shall be
the three trustees of the school to
succeed the retiring members of the
board, Messrs, R. Bruce Crowell,
Luther e. Riddle and Thorfn TAFT.
AS all three Of these gentlemen are
seeking reelection particularly MIR.
TAFT, it might be interesting if the
voters asked Mr.. TAFT how he would
explain:
Why, as a member of the
Board of Education he per-
mitted his daughter to attend school
elsewhere, when the same educa-
tional facilities were to be had at
home?
Why is it that he at this time
criticises the spending of public
school funds for the advancement
of athletic pursuits by the school
children, when he has always been
in favor OF spending money for this
purpose?
Why is that he now condemns the
boards action in materially reducing
LIE dunudl iaEl Od5C AL thE pdiaAj
of the teachers, when as chairman
of the teachers committee he vas
always liberal In this respect?
Why ia he now agrees with those
who think that too much money is
needlessly spent on commencement
exercises, when he a sponsor for
practically all OF this expense from
the very startf
Why Ia he conservative now re-
garding the spending of the school
funds, when heretofore he has al
ways been exactly opposite?
AS there are no small number OF
the voters of Metuchen who think
that the board is spending too much
money, they should not be deceived
by Mr.. TAFT when on the v of the
election he considers 1t good politics
to be conservative"
On the other hand, Mr.. l.. +. Rid
die has, by his actions in the past,
shown himself to be always mindful
of how the public school funds
should be spent; he Is now and al
ways has been consistently conser-
vative. He should be returned to
the board, and with him should be
elected the other two gentlemen who
are running on the ticket with him,
Messrs. Bruce Crowel and George E.
Kelly, both good conservative men.
CONSERVATIVE.

Physician Tells of Successful Use OF
camphor In Practice
Since 1906.

There have been and still are many
varieties OF treatment for pneumonia.
A long list would be required to indi-
cate all the indictments which have
been employed against it. Some even
consider that this affection is an all

They are of the opinion that no medi-
cation should be adopted which might
act ON 1t and disturb its development,

peautfque armee more particularly de-
signed to combat complication.
DR.. Sefbert, in the Muenehner Medi-
xinische Wochenschrfft, describes the
remarkable results which he obtained
in the treatment of serious gases OF
pneumonia by means Of strong doses
Of camphor. He first hwl occasion to
use it in 1905 In a case OF double
pneumonia, where the patient was
also suffering from typhoid fever. He
therefore practiced a simultaneous
injection of IL centimeters of cam

IL hours, and he found after three
days the trouble had disappeared.
DIR. Serbert has since employed the
same treatment in 81 cases, one of
which was extremely serious. since it
was a question of double complicated
pneumonia in a woman seVenty-two
years old. All these cases recovered.
1t seem certain that the camphor pro
