THE END OF TUBERCULOSIS
Consumption and Poverty.

By DR. OSCAR H ROGERS.
Mt Charles Booth in his nota-
BILE study Of poverty as he found
It in the city Of London esti-
mates that 80 per cent OF all
chronic poverty is caused by I'll
health. II would be a most in
teresting study to determine by
careful research how large a
proportion Of this III health
which causes poverty is due to
consumption alone. If 30 per
cent OF the deaths among our
adult population. taken as a
whole. are due to tuberculosis
may we not say that at least
so per cent of deaths among the
very poor are due to that dis
ease? My own impression is
that that estimate is not too
high. that consumption and
chronic pov rty constitute a vi
cious circle. each reacting so as
to produce the other. and that
no real progress may be made in
our campaign unless we some
how manage TO break this vi
ciOus' circle | wish to strongly
urge this point of view. that our
campaign must he directed
against the tuberculosis Of the
very poor Poverty and ignO-
rance unite TO produce those CON
ditiouS which favor the spread
Of consumption. Consumption
ronrr:.mtes nightly to the pOv.
erty and ignorance among us.

that Act No. 2 has gone down by a

a day not far distant and sure to

haps COL Davidson caught from us

him an opinion OF us which We
doubtless never merited. We al
like to have favorable mention @
us made to other men and we Otter
heard of COL Davidson doing this
for u.s. Several books over which
we have fingered with pleas
ure and profit were first mentioned
to us by Col. Sam Davidson. The
important part he played before hi
decline and decrepitude in the al
fairs of this state is not known t
all the boys of this generation. Ii

party and in the code of his coun

many years; in fact Sharp count!
has produced no other man Wh'

New Orleans, Aug. 29.-Cotton futures
opened steady at an advance of to 8
points on good cables and continued alb
sence of rains in the western half of the
cotton belt Private cablegrams from
Liverpool said that English spinners
showed a disposition to buy at present
prices. kilograms from Texas stated
that the crop in that state continued to
deteriorate. Shorts bought covers and a
moderate amount of fresh long buying
came in. At the end of the first hour of
business, prices were 9 to II points up.
At a level of II to Is points up selling
orders increased. although the market
held steady all the morning as the result
OF a private bureau report on the con-
dition of the crop, showing a loss of 2.S
points for the month Prices gradually
fell off until they were only points over

their purchases on the idea that the mar

public market to be established in the
Metropolitan section since the agita-

gan, has been opened in Queensbor-

initial success. over two thousand
women, mainly from the poorer classes
but many of the well do, visited the

fruits and vegetables at prices nearly

city stores. The market is being con-

STOCK MARKET
CLOSES FIRM
BY Associated Press.

New York, Aug. 29.-An irregular ten
dency was shown in the early dealings
on the stock exchange today. The major
ity of the active issues were lower with
weakness most marked in Amaigamated,
Louisville & Nashville, Northern Pacific
and Pittsburg Coal Steel opened with a
block OF 1900 shares at slight fractional
advance, with greater gains for great
Northern Ore and Canadian Pacific.
Reading was bid up half a point, but
failed to hold and the market weakened
when pressure against tobacco stocks be-
came acute.
The advance in the British bank rate.
while not unexpected, probably exercised
an adverse influence over today's market.
Trading was very light and the tendency
lower. Leading railway issues lowered
at or slightly under yesterdays low
figure, but Canadian Pacific was inclined
to further retrieve its recent decline.
Reading and Lehigh Valley, especially
the latter, reflected additional selling.
Louisville & Nashville fell a point on
probable postponment of dividend action.
Steel and Coppers were fractionally lower.
Bonds were irregular.
Several low priced stocks weakened
after midday, but the general market was
unaltered.
Important stocks were neglected in the
last half of the day. but there was mod.
crate liquidation in minor shares
The market closed firm. Some diversion
was furnished in the last hour by Louis
Vile e. Nashville, which rose points on
reports of the increased stock. This gain
was soon lost, however, the stock falling
sharply although other standard issues
showed improvement.
