ONE BED FOR TEN

Nearly 1000 additional hospital
beds for consumptives in % states
were provided during the year end
ing June 1st according to statement
issued from the records of the Nation
al Association for the Study and Pre-
vrntion of tuberculosis. This makes
a total of over 10000 beds, but only
about one for every ten INDECENT tu-
b .rculosis patients in this country.
In the last five years, the hospital
provision for consumptives has in
creased from / I 42S in 1907 to over
80 900 in 1912, or over 100 per cent.
New York state leads in the number
of beds. having $3.50 on June 1st;
Massachusetts, comes next with 2 800;
and Pennsylvania a close third with
2. 700. Alabama showed the greatest
,rcrntage of increase in the last year
hy adding 81 new beds to its AZ a
year ago. Georgia comes next with
lO0 beds added to 24O q year ago.
NV York has the greatest numerical
increase, having provided over l 800
additional beds in the year.
Only four states, Mississippi, Utah,
Nevada and Wyoming have no beds
whatever in special hospitals or wards
for consxmptives. Eight years ago,
when the National Association was
organized, there were 26 states in
which no hospital or sanatorium pro
vision for consumptives existed, and
the entire numbdr of beds in the
United States was only 10000.
''While these figures would indi-
cate remarkable growth in anti
tuberculosis activity" says DR.. Liv-
ingston Farrand, executive secretary
of the National Association, in com
menting on this subject there are
still practically ten INDECENT consump-
tives for every one of the 30, 600 beds
including those for pay patients. In
ether words, we have from 10000
to 300, 600 consumptives in this coun-
try too poor to provide hospital care
for themselves. If tuberculosis is
ever going to be stamped out in the
United States, more hospital provis-
ion for these foci of infection must be
provided.
Catoctin clarion., 1912-07-18


100000, and the only fact reasonably
certain regarding the will is that 80
per cent Is left to the son, as 1t was
left to John Jacob Astor by his IA
ther, William Astor
The remaining twenty per cent.
goes to the other children. At pres
ent there is only one other child,
Muriel, ten years old. Should there
be an issue from the second wife this
child will share the twenty per cent.
with Muriel. If the issue is a girl
each will have ten per cent; II the
issue is boy, Murisl will receive
less than the boy.
With the terms of this bequest John
Jacob Astor had nothing to do. They
were made by his father, William, and
have been on file in the surrogate's
office for forty years.
When William Astor died the estate
amounted to approximately $30.0O0.-
900.
All except few millions Is in tho
entailed estate.
Vincent. now student at Harvard,
is said to possess the Astor traits for
making and keeping money, as well
as the genius for spending It.
At Harvard he gained fame for his
twenty suits of clothes and his ten
pairs of shoes, five of which were
polished every day. He lived at Clav-
erly hail. which Is known as the MIL
lionaires Club" and entertained roy
ally on his allowance of $4,000 year.
1t was said he was the most af.
fluent Of any student ever known in
Cambridge despite the fact that
many sons Of millionaires were num-
bered among the eligibles All his
expenses were paid, and the allow
ance was merely pin-money, given to
him, some said, to make up for the
lonely and secluded youth he was
forced to live.
Vincent was sickly as child, and
when he became older had to be Ia.
ken to Europe every summer for bis
health. 1t was because of these trips
that he was entered In Elton.
He became stronger as he grew
older. however, and only year ago
startled Newport by appearing as
driver of his own racing car.
His appearance was the signal foP
a descent Of designing mammas, and
several, until recently thought they
had him and his heritage Of millions
bagged
Although he is not yet twenty-one
years old, he Is the head Of one OF
the greatest fortunes of America. For
the moment, at least, he Is the sole
heir to his fathers estates.
