LIVING COST HIGHER THAN FOR
PAST TWENTY-THREE YEARS

MISUNDERSTANDING the lat
ter part of 1912 the cost of living in
the United States was higher than at
any other time during the past %
years. The bureau of labor statistics
has Just issued a report on retail
prices from 1890 to 1913. The low
est cost was reached in each of the
geographical divisions and in the
United States as a whole in 1896.
From that date to 1912 the total in
crease in the cost of living per year
for a working mans family, by geo
graphical divisions, was;
North Atlantic, $166; South At
lantic, 1852; North Central, $1S7;
South Central, $186; Western, 1852.

BOIFEUlLLET BEAT BRYAN
They Were Rival Orators Several
Years Ago at Commencement
in MilIedgeViIIe.

MACON, Ga.-John T. Boifeuillet,
of Macon, as clerk of the senate for
eign relations committee, of which
Senator Bacon is chairman, will be
in close touch with the state depart
ment and with the new secretary of
state, Mr. Bryan
The personal acquaintance of Mr..
Boifeuillet and Mr.. Bryan dates
back to 1898, when they were rival
speakers before the Georgia Military
Academy and the Girls Normal and
Industrial School at Milledgeville.
At that time Mr. Bryan had just
come into national prominence
through his activity as a member of
the house of representatives. Govern
or Atkinson was greatly interested
in these institutions and invited Mr..
Bryan to Georgia to address the girls
school
Mr.. Bryan attended the exercises
at the boys college in the morning
when Mr.. Boifeuillet spoke and Mr..
Boifeuillet was in the audience of
Mr.. Bryan at the girls school in the
afternoon. OF course if Mr.. Boifeuil-
let could have had his choice he
would have addressed the girls, but
even as it was he made such q good
speech that Mr.. Bryan said he car
ried off the oratorical honors of the
day.
At a banquet in Augusta in 1908
he was again introduced to Mr.. Bry-
an by Mayor R. E. Allen, who re-
marked in a jocular vein:
"Mr. Boifeuillet's friends want
him appointed to foreign post when
you become president"
Some of them have spoken to me
about it," replied Mr.. Bryan. They
asked me to make it as foreign as
possible"

elites that were decidedly startling
were absent from the censored per-

ard of proprieties was set by Potts
town women clubdom for future ben
eft and charity entertainments under
their auspices.
The particular sensation cut out
was a night gown dance by twenty of
the towns most beautiful young wo-
men, This was followed by round
through the auditorium by the night
clad bevy, flashing pocket electric
lights into the eyes of the audience.
The act had to be repeated several
times, but not by the desire of a
shocked section of staid matrons or
of indignant association officials, who
had seen no such act in the rehearsal
stage of the panorama.
As a result there was a scene on
the stage after the show in which
there was an admixture of weeping
and screaming and even fainting.

His Statement That Club Women
Are Insincere Is Denied.

Hooper Alexander, in his address
before the Georgia Educational AS
ISOLATION, in Atlanta, intimated that
the club women of Georgia were in
sincere in their efforts for child labor,
and that if they really put the force
of their influence behind the move
ment success was certain.
When the speech was over Miss c.
S. Parrish, supervisor of schools for
Georgia, arose and declared that the
club women We're sincere in their eff

did not understand the situation.

A MILLION CONSERVATIVES
THAT MANY ARE NOW LIVING IN
THE UNITED STATES.
Interesting Bulletin is Issued by
National Association for Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis.

Interesting Bulletin is Issued by
National Association for Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis.
Registration and reporting of liv-
ing cases of tuberculosis, in man
ner similar to the reporting of 9th
er infectious diseases, is now re-
quired by state law or regulation
of boards of health in thirty-three
states and territories out of fifty
three. Five years ago only fourteen
states had legislation on this sub
ject. The increase is looked upon
as a sign of marked progress in the
anti-tuberculosis movement by the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis,
which has just issued a bulletin on
this subject.
Based on figures obtained from
cases of tuberculosis reported in
Cleveland, New York and other cit
les where thorough registration is
employed, it is estimated that for
every death from consumption in
the United States, of which there
are on an average 100000 annually,
there are constantly more than five
living cases, making at least 1000
600 in all. OF this million cases, it
is estimated that the health author
tiles have records of not more than |
100000 to 100000, or one in every |
eight or ten, and that, for the great |
majority of cases recorded, no hos |
pital, home or dispensary care is !
provided. Practically nothing can |
be done to control the spread of tu
berculosis in the unreported cases.
Of the thirty-three states where
reporting of cases is required, ade-
quate or reasonably complete records
are kept in not more than eight
Twenty states and territories have
no laws or regulations requiring the
reporting of tuberculosis and in
most of these states consumption is
not classified officially by health au-
thorities as communicable, infec- |
tious disease. These states are Ari- |
IONA, Alaska, Arkansas, Delaware, |
Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, To- |
wa, Kentucky, Missouri, Montana, |
Nevada, New Mexico, North Carroll |
ma, North Dakota, Ohio, Philippine !
Islands, South Dakota and Wyoming. |
Special laws requiring reporting and |
registration of tuberculosis have
been passed in Colorado. Connecti- |
cut, District of Columbia, Kansas !
Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Missis-
sippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey !
New York, Rhode Island and Yer
mont. In twenty other states tuber-
culosis is included in the lists of in
fectious diseases that must be re- |
ported by physicians.
In concluding it's bulletin, the Ma
tional association says:
Reporting of living cases Of tn /
berculosis to the local and state
health authorities is the first requi-
site in any adequate campaign to
control the disease. No efforts to
prevent the spread Of consumption
can be successful until the actual liv-
ing cases are both known and prop
erly cared for"

the Californians feel that even with
immigration of Iaborers largely at an

nomic system in their state.
That the japanese are obtaining a
strong foothold in California cannot
be denied. In 1909 they owned 49,
449 acres of agricultural land and
leased 137,449 acres. In 1911. ac-
cording to the Japan Magazine, the
area in California under cultivation
by the Japanese was 239,720 acres.
The total value of the products raised
| by the Japanese in California in 1911
was s12,5O7,OOO, or 20 per cent of
the value of the agricultural products
of the state for the year. Including
the crops raised by the japanese as
laborers for white farmers or fruit
growers the Japanese produced 80
per cent of the agricultural yield of
the state for the year.
