REALLY a SOUND INVESTMENT
eana+orium Where the tuberculosis
May Be Cured 10 Worth Much 70
Any State or City.

DR.. II. L. Barnes. superintendent OF
the Rhode Island State sanatorlum'
has recently demonstrated by some In
teresting studies of patients discharg-
ed as apparently cured" from that in
stitution. that a saRatorium is a SOUND
investment for any state or city. The
gross earnings of 10 ex-patients OBJ
tanned in 1911 amounted to $1oz,1eS'
and those of 211 cases in 1912 to S1ls,--
OH. BY applying the same average
earning to all ex-patients of the sana-
forum living in 1911 and 1912, DE-.
Barnes concludes that their income In
these two years was $551,000. This
sum is more than three times the cost
of maintenance of the sanatorium in
GLIDING interest at 4 per cent on the
original investment and depreciation
charges. DR.. Barnes concludes, how
ever, while institutions for the cure
Of tuberculosis are good investments
there is good reason for thinking that
institutions for the isolation Of far adj
vanced cases would be still better in
vestments."

A pint OF it costs about $3.50, but 1t

Temptation.

Representative Solomon Francis
Prouty Of the Seventh district of Illi-
nois is the only man in the house Of
representatives who chews gum, and
he chews it with remarkable avidi-
ty. He took the gum habit after n
conference of Iowa physicians had
warned him that he must either stop
smoking or fill grave. They sug-
gested chewing gum as a substitute
for my Lady Nicotine.
The only time he has smoked in ten
years was on hot day last summer
while out campaigning. He stopped to
talk with an old farmer who was puff
ing at a corncob pipe. The smoke got
into Representative Prouty's nose, and
as soon as he reached town he rushed
into his Office, grabbed his secretary
by the arm. and almost shouted:
For goodness sake dig out that pipe
of yours and give me puff Lock the
doors and keep every man out who
looks like doctor. I've got to smoke
or bust !"-Washington Star.
