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
sanitorium, the earnings of the ex-
patients of that institution during the
year 1911 would amount to over $685.
600. This is sum three times as
large as that spent each year for main
tenance of the institution, including
four per cent. interest and depreefa-
ton charges
The actual earnings in 1911 of ITO
ex-patients were obtained by Dr.
Barnes. These ranged from 81 to
$31 per week, the total earnings for
the year amounting to $102,752 On
this basis, DR.. Barnes computes the
figures above given. He says, how
ever: While institutions. for the cure
of tuberculosis are good investments,

Der in the family averaged So. and
the average family earnings were

income, and in only five cases were
there any savings. none of which
amounted to as much as 800.

ECONOMIC VALUE OF TREES
Roads Always in Better Condition
Where They Have Been Planted
and Properly Cared For.

We have spoken often for good pub
lie roads as the best investment, ev-
erything considered, that the country
can make, but we are indebted to the
Maryland State Grange for the sound
suggestion that there are no really
good country roads without shade
trees along them. The practical, COO
nomic value of trees along the roadside
is beyond dispute. They actually pro
tect the road and lessen the cost OF
upkeep How much they add to the
money value of abutting farms,
would be difficult to estimate: but IL,
OF two farms otherwise exactly equal
in value and offered at the same price,
one is fringed by shade trees and the
other. is bare, there is little doubt
which nine buyers out OF ten would
prefer. In no other way can the at
fractions Of bit Of country road be so
much enhanced Who that drives In
the country doesn't feel grateful to the
farmer whose trees beautify the
scene?
Planting shade trees where none ex-
ist Is not really expensive, and in the
long run 1t pays quite as well, at least,
as planting wheat There are, OF
course, certain practical problems,
such as avoiding too dense shade
upon grain land and selecting the right
stock; but a treeless road anywhere
outside the desert is a reprcach to
those who live upon it Saturday Eve

An illustration OF what may be done
for a comparatively small city is fur
nished by Cedar Rapids, Ia. A river
runs through the town, not large
stream. and in the center is an island
of good size It was decided to make
that island a civic center, placing the
municipal buildings thereon and erect
ing numerous street bridges to it. The
banks OF the river are bordered with
undesirable buildings. These build
ings are to be torn down, streets
.widened and the banks Of the river
