To ascertain why families sought it's
aid the New York Association for I'M
proving the conditions of the poor made
inquiries Of applicants between Oct. /,
1911, ana June 80, 1912. There were
$500 families questioned and of these
1905, it was found were forced to seek
aid through illness.
tuberculosis caused $50 applications
and accounted for "a per cent of those
who gave illness as a cause. Rheuma-
tism was next in the list of diseases,
with 1877 families affected by it. Then
in order followed Illness attending
births, 161; kidney and heat disease,
l56; anaemia, 1856; operations resulting
from injuries, 106; pneumonia, 90; chill
dren's contagious diseases, 48; paralysis
and epilepsy, As; eye and ear diseases,
45, and cancer and tumor, Al.
1t may be argued that tuberculosis is
as much result as cause of proverty,
but as a cause its effects are apparent
and indisputable. The conclusion of
The association, from the figures is that
some plan of effective home treatment
must be found" for tuberculosis, for
- it will be many years before there will
be enough hospitals and sanatoria to ac-
commodate all tuberculosis patients. -
That this condition is not peculiar to
New York is shown by the further
statement thai ga comparison of the
hospital provisions in the United States
with the need and growth of population
shows that the demand is increasing
twice as fast at the supply"
When we all live with proper regard
to health there win be no need of
either hospitals or home treatment for
tuberculosis. The public must study
the prevention as well as the cure of
this dread disease.-Record- Herald.

Thanks to the Campaign.

Everybody remarks that this presi-
Dental campaign, contrary to prece-
dent, has not injured business. Few
remark the larger fact that it has
been boon to business. Uplift and
expansion have been in evidence for
several months. Railroad earnings
are now running ahead of last year at
the rate Of twenty million dollars
monthly; bank clearings the country
over show gains of from five to TWEEN
ty per cent; steel mills are full Of
orders; crops are the largest ever
gathered Ordinarily, therefore, we
should have had great outburst Of
speculation; but, thanks to the cam
paign, transactions on the New York
Stock Exchange have been the small
est in many years. The August total
was less than half Of that for the cor
responding month in the last presiden-
tial year and little over a third of
that for 1909,
This is a great gain. To carry legi-
innate business, money in New York
is now about six per cent. If there
had been big speculation during the
summer we should be experiencing a
pinch-with gamblers, as usual, pre-
ferred bidders for the short supply of
funds.
Normally a stock boom means that
greater prosperity is in sight and the
insiders are rushing to grab--in few
weeks-all the enhanced profits that
the mills and rails will earn in the next
year If there is something in this
campaign that makes them exceedingly
dubious about grabbing, that impresses
them with a painful idea that it may
be less easy in the future to skim the
profits from industry by manipulating
pieces of paper, everybody engaged in
earning an honest living ought to be
thankful for it. If the country has
finally evolved a sort of politics that
will discourage speculation without re-
pressing real business, it is to be con-
gratulated.-Saturday Evening Post,

Two players of Kenosha have been
picked up by scouts this season and
both will be given a chance to see if
they are fit for minor league playing
next spring. John Boyle, who did the
catching for the Lake Views this sea-
son, is to report to the Appleton club
of the Wisconsin-Illinois League early
in April, while Mike Fina, formerly
from Brooklyn, N. Y, and who played
with the Badger Brass of the city
league this season, will have his choice
of either going to the Bloomington
club in the Three-I League or to Ra-
cine baseball club Of the Wisconsin
Illinois League. Fina is a pitcher and
has fine pitching record with the
Utica club down east. Both are CON
fdent of making good.

the answer to which is puzzling great
many persons. To lend this small sd-

every phase of the question being TAX

our presidents name was in 1865" The
customary procedure is for the ques-

"Try it on your friends" is suggested,
"and then tell them that his name In
1865 was the same as 1t is now-Wil-

.Tbe financing Of the new Chinese
Repunlic has been effected. The
bankers representing the six great
powers-Great Britain, Germany.
France, Japan, Russia and the United
States--who have been having ses-
sions in London and Paris during the
past six weeks to consider a loan of
$500, 900, 900 requested by China have
reached an understanding and agreed
to the loan. 1t is understood, say the
dispatches, that Russia and Japan
specifically reserve the right to with
draw from participation in the loan
at any time should they decide that
their special political interests In
China have become jeopardized. Rus
sia and Japan tried to force an agree
ment that the loan should not be ap.
piled in any way likely to compromise
their interests. The four otter powers
refused to agree to this. and it is un-
derstood that the final agreement was
stricted to the Financing of China, all
political questions as such being left
to the powers. More important. prob
ably, than the granting of the loan.
was the formal recognition by the
powers of the principle Of the neutral
ization of China. According to the
agreements, no individual power may
seek to exercise selfish rights of con-
troll In China. This is much the same
as the neutrality policy of John Hay.

Millions Spent on Golf.

Golf has become so popular in this
country that it is estimated that the
players spend not thousands but MIL
lions every year at their favorite game.
Added to these figures are costs for
erection of buildings, laying out OF
grounds, upkeep, etc., and the figures
are increased in arithmetical progress
sion to such an extent that the total
is practically inestimable. 1t was esti-
mated recently that there were $50
golf clubs in the United States, out
side of some 760 summer and winter
resort clubs. The Lake Shore Country
club of Chicago has spent about $780,
900 on its course, clubhouse and lock-
ers, thus indicating how quickly golf
runs into money.-Argonaut.

Max Frederick Schilling and they
are now spending their honeymoon
on Coronado beach.
The bride is well known in this

left this city two years ago for
Pueblo.
After residing there a short time
she went with her relatives to the
coast and while there met Mr.. Schil-
ling. A ceremonious home wedding
was planned by the couple, but their
friends twitted them so much about
the approaching nuptials that they
decided to have the knot tied in Sc
cret.
Quietly the bride prepared her
wedding trouseau and when all was
in readiness she and Mr.. Schilling
went out for a walk" which ended
at minister's home Later in the
day they went to Coronado beach
and telephoned friends and relatives
that they were enjoying their honey
moon.
Now announcement cards will fol-
low the wedding invitations several
| days before the ceremony was due
to be solemnized..
A host of local friends will be
surprised and delighted at the news

R|0GRANDE To
USE C|TY'S
WATER
Arrangements Are Practically
Completed TO Tap the
Pipe Line.

Arrangements have practically
been completed between the city COM
missioners and representatives of the
Denver & Rio Grande railroad for
the company to secure all its water
for use at the local station from the
Hannah creek mountain water sys-
TEN.
A short time ago a member of the
local water service went up to Kan
nah creek and took several samples
of the water. This has been anal
yzed by the company chemist and has
been found to be free from any i'm
purities.
1t is now planned to put in a
water meter at the railroad reservoir
TO determine how much is being
used by the company. so that a basis
can be secured and flat rate made
for the use of the. water by the
company.
An effort to put negotiations
through has been made for some
time by the city, but 1t was not un-
til today that anything like a sat
isfactory answer has been secured.
If the deal is consummated it will
add several thousand dollars to the
annual income of The city from its
water system.
Besides the railroad company a
large number of the residents of the
Whitewater country, intend to tap
on Orchard mesa.
The rate to charge the railroad
has not been determined as yet.
