Cleaner and Quieter Cities.

From the Cleveland Leader.
Rubber Is much cheaper than it was
year or two ago. and everything points 10
lower prices in the future. The worlds
consumption Of this exceedingly useful
gum increases rapidly, but the produc-
ton of the rubber plantations in the Ma
lay peninsula, on several islands of the
East Indies, especially Borneo and Su-
matra. in Ceylon and in other ,ropical re-
gions is SO great that il seems impossible
to prevent a decided lowering of pr ces ia
the markets of Europe and America
In the Malay peninsula where the pro-
duction of rubber on plantations Is far
ther advanced than il is anywhere els
in the world, the Increase in the output
of trees set out and titled like apple or
chards has been so RAPID that the eN-
ports last year showed a gain of % per
cent. Tens of thousands % acres covered
by rubber plantations have not Yet
reached the stage of production.
Similar conditions exist in many parts
Of the world. though on a smaller scale.
1t seems probable that within few years
the rubber crop of the plantations Will
greatly exceed the quantity obtained from
the Amazon valley. the kongo country
and other regions where the trees in wild
forests are depended upon for the annual
supply
These conditions point to cleaner and
quieter cities. There will be more rubber
tires and bigger tires. and ii is quite
possible that rubber viii be largely used
for street pavements. especially where
freedom from noise is particularly de-
sired, as in the vicinity of hospitals.
schools. courthouses and Libraries The
cheapening of rubber will mean lower
prices for pneumatic tires and that will
have its effect upon the cost of motor
vehicles and especially upon the expense
of using them. This will tend. of course,
to hasten the coming of comparatively
horseless age, as far as city streets are
concerned, and that, in turn, will mean
q great gain for cleanliness
The cities of the future Will far out
shine those of the present in many re-
spects essential to higher standards OF
comfort and convenience, and in this
progress the cheap rubber of plantations
i'm various countries OF the tropics will
play an important part.

Recalled Old Times.

THE other day a lawyer. who years
ago removed to Washington from
his home in the south and has since ac-
quired prominence here, was visited by
old schoolmate of his boyhood days
Now. these days had been spent in the
very rural districts of Georgia, and the
boyhoOd chum, who had never before
visited a city, was much impressed with
the magnitude of things, the elegance of
the appointments of his old-time friends
offices, the height Of the buildng-in
short, with all the marvels that a great
city affords to the country visitor
The other morning, as he stood gazing
out of the window of his friends private
office in wonder at the panorama of
housetops, there came to his ears the
chimes that We're busily engaged fastening
in place the beams and trusses of q great
building in process of erection in the
neighbOrhoOd.
For while perplexity wrinkled his
rustic visage; then an expression of
astonishment overspread his features as

Conquering Consumption.

From the New York Evening Post.
Germany's war on tuberculosis is in
the opinion of our Department of Com
merce and Labor. entitled to the admira
ton of the entire civilized world as the
first and most successful of its kind.
From an average of % deaths per 10000
of population from this cause in the
quinquennium 1895 to 1899, the rate was
reduced to Il during the following five
year period, and to 1S.45 during the one
ending with 1909. The expenditures on
account OF tuberculous wage-earners
have gone up steadily. Commencing
with AN annual amount of $4,000 il
1891, the figure rose to 81. 900 900 in 1902
and to nearly $4Oo9,0U0 in 1909. The eco

economic results is meant restored
wage-earning capacity to the extent of
at least one-third of what Ii was origi-
nally. These results are somewhat bet
ter in the case OF women than of men.
The Improvement in these results is
measured by the advance from 6s per
cent of patients discharged with their
earning capacity lin it's legal sensel re-
stored in 1897. to So per cent so dis
charged in 1909. The whole story. in its
general tenor and in its particulars, Is
a tale of the swift triumph of applied
science in field that preceding genera

Why Atlanta Is So Foggy.

The weather man offers an interesting

theory when they reflect that their par
ticular fog is engendered by conditions
that are menace TO comfort and health.

The Mouth-Few people fall nova
days to realize the Importance of clean
mouths and healthy teeth, but fewer
still are aware of the many ills due to
unclean mouths and bad teeth. The
mere mention of them is appalling.
Look at this list of familiar diseases
gastric catarrh, intestinal inf1amma-
ton. mumps, infiamed joints, tooth alb
cesses, mental disease. middle ear dis
ease brain abcess, blood poisoning.
meningitis. frontal sinusitis. paralysis
of eye muscles, tonsilitis. consump-
tion, cancer of tongue and lip. Per-
haps you will be astonished to learn
that all these diseases may be directly
or indirectly due to improper care of
the mouth, teeth, nose and throat. This
is a startling fact. and it calls for full
co operation of the physician with the
dentist and throat specialist in their
warning to people to have their mouths
and throats properly cared for.
The Neck-This part of the body is
the seat of a very common and much
dreaded malady-goitre. Operative
treatment for this trouble gives results
that are among the most brilliant IN
surgery. The death rate after surgical
neglected cases. One surgical clinic
lost only per cent of 405 cases of
severe goitre, and less than l per cent
of 594 cases Of simple goitre, operat-
ed on.
Many ills following in the wake Of
goitre may be avoided by early opera
ton. Simple cases show a tendency to
become severe, ard when this happens
there result serious disturbances of the
nervous system of nutrition, and of the
mind also. In addition to these disor-
ders, cancer frequently follows goitre.
Hence. the purpose Of the preventive sur
gerry Of goitre is twofold: to prevent these
ills. and to save life.
The Chest-In this region there are
several conditions which demand pre-
ventive surgical methods. Pleurisy,
which. if left untreated until the f1uid
has become pustular. calls for severe
operations, often bringing on fatal after
complications. These undesirable results
can be and should be avoided by early
treatment.
That awful and terrible fatal disease.
cancer of the breasts. occurring especially
in women, can be prevented in great
many cases. Early operation here means
the saving of life and the prevention of
much suffering.
The Abdomen.-It has become sort of
Joke that appendicitis is the surgeon s
chief source of income. The disease it
time, it affords one of the most convinc-
ing proofs of the curative power of sur
gerry. The general public already realizes
the necessity for operation. but it does
not dream of the long train of ills that
are due to neglected cases. Even if a
case of appendicitis does not die from
that disease. when not operated on, tnere
are other diseases, Just as fatal, which
result from the failure to operate. In
surance companies recognize this. and
cases of chronic appendicitis are post
poned from three to five years, and many
times at the end of that time rejected.
Many cases of chronic dyspepsia are

This winter L have been teaching Eng

Unfortunately for his progress, he has
taken up for associates some young
clerks whose language is not what would
be called elegant.
My method in teaching him, since We
have progressed to Shakespeare, has been
this: We would read together, in most
careful manner, some passage from one of
that authors dramas, and then closing
the book. l would have my Greek pupil
repeat, as nearly as he could remember.

repeat 1t as nearly as he could For the
first few lines he did well, but as his
memory for the words failed and he re-
tanned only the IDEAS, he droped back
more and more into colloquial English.
At length, as he reached that concluding
passage, he hesitated..
