REALLY A SOUND INVESTMENT
Sanatorium Where tuberculosis May
Be Cured Is Worth Much to
Any State or City.

DR. II. L. Barnes, superintendent OF
the Rhode Island State SanatOrium,
has recently demonstrated by some in
teresting studies of patients discharg-
ed as apparently cured from that in
stitution that a sanatorium is a sound
Investment for any state or city. The
gross earnings of l70 eX-patients OBJ
tanned in 1911 amounted to SlO2, 1852,
and those of 2ll cases in 1912 to $ll2.-
021. BY applying the same average
earning to all eX-patients cf the sana-
torium living in 1911 and 1912. DR..
Barnes concludes that their income in
these two years was S5Jl,0O0. This
sum is more than three times the cost
OF maintenance of the sanatOrium in
Guiding interest at / per cent on the
original investment aud depreciation
charges. Or. Rarnes 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 TAR ad-
vanCed cases would be still better H.
vestments.'

The only time he has smoked in ten

into Representative Prouty's nose, and
as soon as he reached town he rushed
into his office, grabbed his secretary
