REALLY A SOUND INVESTMENT
eanatorlum Where the Tuberculosis
May BE Cured 10 Worth Much to
Any State or City.

DR.. II. L. Barnes. superintendent OF
the Rhode Island State sanatortum,
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 40 ex.patients OBJ
ta!aed In 1911 amounted to $lO2.I52.
and those Of 211 cases in 1912 to $1l2,'
021. BY applying the same average
earning to all ex-patients Of the sana'
forum living in 1911 and 1912, DR..
Barnes concludes that their income In
these two years was S551,0OO. This
sum is more than three times the cost
Of maintenance OF the sanatorium In
Guiding 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
vestments."

Methodist Conference Is Unable to
Solve the Problem Of Extending
Usefulness Of institution.

New Haven.-One OF the smallest
churches in this country is the Parker
Conn A. NJ. E. Zion church Of Meri-
den, its membership numbering but
seven regular members with ar aver
age attendance at church OF about
fifteen persons.
The smallest OF the congregation
Las always been a puzzle to those IN
terested In the church. 1t has been
organized sincce 1890. but never
seems to grow any larger despite the
efforts of revivalists and well-knoWn
colored organizers who have visited
the church for the purpose OF building
1t up.
During its twenty-five years OF exist
ence many preachers have been as
signed to the pastOrate, but owing TO
the smallness of the congregation OF
late years 1t has been impossible 70
raise enough money to pay the preach
er for his services.
At the last meeting Of the Methodist
conference the question of the Parker
church was discussed at length by the
delegates. Scheme after scheme for
the building up of the Impoverished
treasury, and the congregation were
discussed. but none seemed feasible
w. C. Andrews, a lay preacher hold
ing a passionate in Providence on 9
salary, then came forward and onered
his services as a preacher.
Leaving his family behind. the
preacher went to Meriden, where he
assumed charge. Inasmucb as he had
no income, 1t become compulsory up
ON him to provide a roof for himself.
Occurring some old boards and TIM
bera, the preacher built a small room
ON the rear Of the church. For weeks
he labored from morning to night until
Al last he had for himself a coy
home at no expense to the church
Determined still further that the
church would not have to support him.
he cast around for q suitable position
whereby he could earn enough to live
ON. Mr.. Andrews was not afraid OF
work. and prominent business men OF
Meriden who had heard Of his efforts
and his sacrifice secured for him a
position with the Neriden Gas CON-
pauy - , porter.
