HOSPITAL CARE FOR TUBERcu.
LOSS.

There IS growing conyic-
ton among the people OF Iowa
that the ultimate eradication OF
tuberculosis will require adequate
hospital provision for the care and
treatment of consumptiyes, especially
in the advanced stages OF the disease.
1T Is the observation OF persons who
have given study to the problems of
prevention that institutional control Of
tuberculosis is the only effective
method by which to stamp out the
disease
From Investigations extending over
period of two years which have
been made recently by committee
of prominent physicians in Minneapo-
lis this observation is confirmed in a
most positive manner. While not
minimizing the Importance of proper
supervision in home treatment Of tu-
berculosis. this committee on the 9TH
er hand found that there were famil-
les generally not well protected
against the spread of the infection,
and the conclusions reached were that
the only effective method of prevent
ing the spread Of infection would be
by the proper isolation In institu-
tons OF the advanced cases OF tuber-
cnlosis.
Given the fact that the average con-
sumptive is difficult to control and

and there is little doubt that an adj
vanced case particularly will spread
his disease to the other members OF
the household.
The people of Iowa have sufficient
information to give them very gen
eral view of this whole question, and
there is no doubt that the present
legislature viii find incumbent upon

vision for the proper care and treat

A BOYS CORN CROP.

The Oklahoma boy OF thirteen who
raised 1852 bushels OF corn on one
acre at a cost OF $14.5D, Including ss
for rent sold his crop for 1906. It is
in demand for seed at special price,
and it is to be remarked that he paid
81 bushel for the seed he used him
self. Another Oklahoma boy, aged
fifteen, raised 5000 pounds of cotton
lon two acres, and sold ii for $3.50.
The seed brought 5000 more, making
S460 as the cash return for the two
acres. 1t is no surprise to hear that
1000 boys and girls in Oklahoma have
entered the corn and cotton contest
begun a few years ago in the enter
prising and vigorous young state,
whose productions have already put it
among the foremost. A special effort
lis needed to give intensive farming a
start. An acre set apart for an am
bilious and earnest youth may seem
IA side issue, but its demonstration OF
possibilities is of great value, says the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Many farmer plods along with
much land but poor cultivation on his
hands. Few have realized how much
even one acre signifies. In the SUBJ
.rrbs of Paris there are single acres
that rent for $1,000 year. The soil
is utilized all the time and every
square foot kept under the highest
POSSIBLE culture. Otherwise it could
not be a profitable way to employ
time and SO much capital. On the
basis of the Oklahoma boys expert
ment the corn crop of this country
could be increased from 5000, 600 900
bushels to $4,000, 100000. The cotton
test implies a like chance in that crop.
1T is said with truth that, more work
ers are needed on the farms. A high
er ratio of yield there is also some
thing to be diligently, confidently
worked for. The cost OF living can
certainly be Influenced in this way,
and to the advantage OF both consum-
ers and producers.

HIGH SALARIES VS..
THE STOCKHOLDERS

A distinguished Harvard profess
or agrees with ex-President Nell
en-, of the New Haven railroad,
that no head of big corporation
is worth over S25, 900 a wear and
that when salaries Of $4,000, $751;
600 and 100000 are paid it is an
imposition on the stockholders, as
the services rendered are by no
means worth the compensation.
During the insurance investigation
Of few years ago it was brought
out that the president of large
New York company, who was re-
gurded as anything but a genius,
had succeeded in boosting his SAL
airy to $150,000 year and that
various members Of his family,
none Of whom we're persons Of ex.
ceptional ability were also drawing
enormous salaries. AS a result of
the investigation the whole para
site brood were cut off greatly to
the advantage Of the company.
The same pruning would be of
benefit to many other corporations
says the Philadelphia Record. Men
who draw very large salaries like,
of course, to foster the belief that
they are persons of remarkable abil-
ity and are getting no more than
they are worth, but when. they
step down no great difficulty is
found in filling their places &C.

BISHOP ROBINSON

Right Rev. Henry Douglas Rob-
inson, whose death occurred in
New York Thursday, was a noted
educator and clergyman for years
before his elevation as bishop of
the missionary diocese of Nevada.
His history was one of steady rise
based on scholarly attainments, de-
voted to duty and deep religious
conviction.
Henry Douglas Robinson vas
born in Lowell, Mass, March Is,
1860 and was therefore in his fifty
fourth year when he died. He was
the son Ut Alexander Douglas Rob-
inson and Clara Boate Robinson.
He was graduated from Racine COL
lege " ith the degree of bachelor of
arts in 1884. In 1887 Racine con-
ferred on him the degree Of mast
er of arts and in 1902 the degree
of doctor of divinity. He took post
graduate work in sociology and
comparative religions in the Uni
versity of Chicago in 1896.
On July IL, 1885, he married
Miss Florence Bruce at Racine,
the wedding occurring shortly after
his graduations from Racine col
lege.
In his educational career, in
which he achieved distinction equal
to that attained in his ecclesias ical
work, Bishop Robinson was in
structor of mathematics at San
Mateo (Cal.) Military Academy
in lS85-l8S9. He then became
head master of that school end
from there he was called to Ra-
cine gram mar school. Beginning in
1900 he rapidly rose to be presi-
dent of the entire college, which
post he occupied when he was
elected bishop in 1907.
In his ecclesiastical career Bishop
Robinson was made deacon in
