That tuberculosis is serious
problem among church congrega-
tons is evidenced by statistics which
the national. association gathefed
last year, and which shows that ten
per cent OF ali deaths among church
members are caused by tuberculosis.
Based on these figures and on the
mortality statistics OF the esnhhB
bureau, over SO 900 Of the lSSio00.s
600 communicates in churchss.in The
United States die Of tiberculosis'
every year. This fghre assumes that
the death rate of 1880 per 1000
population In the registration area
applies to all church goers, when; las

probably be higher. AMI
Fake Photographs. 'f.5 N.
The trend Of the time Is toward d
more rigid observance Of honesty in
business transactions. IA late exam
Pile is the introduction Of bill in
the United States Senate by Henry
cabot lodge providing that "no
photographer or corporation can
make sell or send through the mails
a fraudulent or untrue photograph,
or alleged, copy of any living person
without that persons consent" The
bill results from the sale OF fake
photographs of the president shaking
hands with tourists who visit Wash
ington. ="
While the full text of the bill rs
not at hand and a conclusion cannot
be drawn as5to whether the proyis-
ions are too sweeping. 1T representa-
a needed restriction. Not only has
the fake photograph been a ssoufee
of great annoyance, but II is sotns-
thing that could be and has in some
Instances been devoted to dangerous
and seandaldus purposes. There
are some occasions, as pointed out by
an eastern exchange; when unau-
thoriEed photographs Of public per-
sonages might do a,lworld of good,
yet the individual ought to have
some protection against the eKplolta-
tion of himself in a fraudulent pho
ttograph and the measure on its; face
appears to embrace only those -
stographs that are fraudulent or un-
true. with q provision Of that ma
-ture in erect it. does not seem that
anyone could suffer any undue hard
Iship from it. The fake photograph
ought to go. Just the same as other
fraudulent and dishonest things.
