REALLY A SOUND INVESTMENT
sanatorium Where the Tuberculosis
May d Cured 10 Worth Much to
Any state or City.

DR.. H. L. Barnes. superintendent Of
the Rhode Island State sanatorium,
has recently demonstrated by some In.
teresting studies Of patients discharg-
ed - apparently cured" from that In.
StitutiOn, that sanatorium is q sound
investment for any state or city. The
gross earnings Of ITO ex-patients OBJ
tained in 1911 amounted to $1O2,752,
and those Of 211 cases In 1912 to $1l2,.
OF. BY applying the same average
earning to all ex-patlents OF the sana
torium living In 1911 and 1912, DR.
Barnes concludes that their income IN
these two years was 1851, 900. This
sum 10 more than three times the &C. I
Of maintenance OF the sanatorium in
cluding interest at 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 ad-
vanced cases would be still better In.

Street Ethlcs In Chicago.

A law has been enacted In Prussia
which makes 1t a prison Offense for
any one to fail to answer cry for
help or to go to the rescue Of a per
son In danger when II Is possible to

life. Such law would not be amiss
in Chicago. Not only ethics. but ordi
nary decency and manliness are too
frequently forgotten here. Let a thug

Whether all the ethics Of citizen

 Women who are suffering from those distressing ills peculiar to their sex should not lose sight of these facts or doubt the ability of Lydia E. Pinkhan's Vegetable Compound to restore their health.
 There are probably hundreds of thou sands, perhaps millions of women in the United States who have been benefited by this famous old remedy, which was produced from roots and herbs over 90 years ago by woman to relieve wo- mans suffering.

Putting Arizona Under the Law of Rome and New Constitution

An Act to repeal all existing laws of the state of Arizona. except the penal code, and 70 substitute therefor the civil law of the Roman empire as modified by the constitution of the State of Arizona" has been introduced by Senator A. A. Worsley.
 The text of Senator Worsley's bill follows:
 Sec. l. All laws contained in the public volume styled the revised stat utes of Arizona. 1901, ard all acts p1ssed prior or subsequent thereto, except the penal code and acts amend story thereof. are hereby repealed.

 Governors Secretary's Pay
 An attempt to have that section providing that the salary of the gov ernor's secretary should be s240O a year, failed. At present the govern or's secretary receives 5000 a year. His salary was the only one men toned in house bill No. 100, and Mur- phy declared that it was a joker. Jac- obs denied this, declaring that that was the most convenient place to fix the secretary's salary. The reduc- tion, he said, was to make the sal ary conform to those paid other state officers of similar importance and re- sponsibility.
 As amended the bill was recon mended for passage.
 Penal Code Snag
 The house committee of the whole refused flatly to concur in the senate amendments to the penal code. A number of amendments were adopted in the senate. They were read one by one in the house. No sooner was one read than Jacobs would make a motion that the house not concur This matter is likely to cause endless trouble. The representatives were quite firm in their refusal and it looks as though the senate will have to back down, else there will be no pen al code.
 The public school code. house bill No l03, was passed in the house with out opposition. Three senate bills were killed
