Nineteen Millions Spent in Tuber-
culosis War.


Nearly $40, COO, coo was spent in the
anti. tuberculosis campaign in the United
States during the year 1912, according
to the fourth annual statistical state
ment of expenditures in this movement
issued by the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
losis today. These annual statements
are based largely on reports received
from anti tuberculosis agencies through
out the country. The figures are esti-
mated where actual reports are not
available.
The expenditures during the year for
sanatorium and hospital construction
and treatment make the largest single
item in the total, amounting to nearly
SIG, 800, 600. This is an increase of
nearly So, 600, 900 over the same group
of expenditures for the year 1911. The
anti tuberculosis associations and com
mittees spent over S765, 900, while dis
pensaries and tuberculosis clinics spent
over $500, 600. Over S115, 600 was spent
| for the maintenance and establishment
which is more than double the amount
spent for this purpose in 1911. Official,
state and municipal expenditures out
side of the maintenance Of institutions,
which are included in the other totals,
amounted to $3.50, 600. In additions to
these figures about $500, GOO was spent
by hospitals for insane and penal insti-
tutions in caring for their tuberculous
inmates.
The total expenditures for the year
1912 are % per cent, or nearly 81, 500, 000
greater than the total for the year 1911.
Another significant feature pointed out
by the National Association, is the eX-
penditure of public money During the
year 1912, $50 per cent. of the SIS, 900,
600 spent in tuberculosis work came
from either federal, state, county q
municipal funds This figure is con-
sidered by the anti tuberculosis workers
as particularly significant because it i'm
dicates the shifting of responsibility foi
the provision Of tuberculosis hospital.
and other institutions upon the munich
pality, county and state.
New York State again leads the coun-
try in its anti-tuberculosis expenditures.
Pennsylvania comes next and Massa-
chusetts and Colorado are in third anc
fourth places respectively.

The fellow workmen of a Bethel
granite cutter who died in poor cir

earned by labor was SIS and this,
added to $5l, otherwise contributed

In answer to the complaints of delay
which have been pouring in from appli-
cants for pensions under the so-called
dollar-a-day act of May II last, James
L. Davenport, Commissioner of Pen
sious, has explained that the pension
office is swamped with nearly 500, 900
applications, which have come in within
the last seven months, and that it has
taken an extra force of clerks, working
double shift, to complete the adjudica-
ton of about 200, 900 of these applica-
tons. He says:
From May II to the end of June
468, 600 applications were received.
Each case had to be fully investigated
and the justification of the claim con.
firmed 1t has been tremendous task
and the fact that we have adjudicateC
more than 100000 claims in the last
seven months is high tribute to the
efficiency of our office force. News

The Banner Savings
Bank Town of
Vermont

On the 4th day of October, 1912,
there were 7o2 depositors in the Hyde
Park Savings Bank Who resided in
Hyde Park and the aggregate of their
deposits was more than quarter of a
million dollars-or, to be exact, S25I,-
oSI.59-and the population of Hyde
Park at the last census was only 1883.
If there is another town IN the State
of its size that can make such won
derful showing we would like to know
it, and we will Cheeriully give that
town a free notice commencing It's
thrift.
Think of it This means that near
ly every other, or second, man, woman
and child, infant, youth, middle-age
and aged person in Hyde Park, 7o2
out OF 1853, has an average deposit in
The Hyde Park Savings Bank OF $751;
90.
Tree is only one conclusion to be
drawn from this fact and that is
that the people Of Hyde Park, who
know all about the men who manage
the Hyde Par Savings Bank, have un-
limited faith and confidence in them
They know, from close contact with
them and as their nearest neighbors,
IA about their abis, characteristics,
idioslncracies business abilities, conser-
vatsm and banking methods, and they
show their implicit faith in these man
ayers by bestowng upon them a mea-
sure OF confidence and Trust which Is
very rarely found. We doubt If par
allel can be found anywhere
These home depOsiiors know that
| S0fetU and not high rates OF inter
est obtained at far away points, is the
uniform and unvaying motto Of th5ir
home bank and believing us managers
to be absolutely trustworthy and safe
they make this bank the custodian of
their spare dollars. OF course the
fact that the bank pays four per cent.
and pays all taxes is very tempting, but
no more so than to depoStors in
other towns.
Nobody knows you quite so we'll as
your near neighbors. If they have
faith in you it is usually because you
are entitled to their confidence.

Verge Man Suicides.

Love of home life, affection for a wife
who lived alone, and mind weakened
by alcohol, it is thought caused John
Rubeor, aged 81, carpenter, to commit
suicide early Saturday morning or Fri
day night. Charlie, the small son of
Alderman w. H. Norton, proprietor of
the Norton House, found the body of
Rubeor at 7 as O'Clock Saturday morn
ing. The man had lived at the hotel
two weeks and was punctual in hi
habits. He had not appeared for break
fast so the boy, in playful mood, Wis
tied the room.
The body fully dressed, was found on
the bed, 32-caiber revolver clutche
in the right hand. On the right temple
were clots of blood and powder burns.
Following investigation by F. w.
Tuttle, states attorney, suicide by
shooting was given as the cause of
death.
Rubeor was married twice, the second
marriage taking place few years ago.
The second wife, widow of Thomas
Austin, left Rubeor about year ago,
it is said, because ofthe mans intern
perance.
Friday Rubeor visited his wife and
asked her to live with him again. She
refused. Returning to the hotel he APP
peared morose and went directly to his
room. 1t is thought he shot himself
that evening.
The man is survived by a son, George,
Of Pittsfield, Mass, and daughter
who resides in Waterbury. He had lived
here about % years, coming from
Rouses Point.

What is the highest mountain in Colo
RADIO? "Pikes Peak" nineteen persons
out of twenty will answer, and incor-
rectly. The twentieth may know that
the two highest mountains in the State
are Mount Massive and Mount Ebert,
both in Lake County, in the Leadville
district, The altitude of each of these
mountains, according to the United
States Geological Survey, is Ia, 402 feet
above sea level. The height of Pixies
Peak is Ia, 10S feet. Moreover there
are fifty or sixty other peaks in Colo
RADIO approximately as high-over IA,
600 feet The lowest point in Colorado
is 1850 feet above sea level. OF all the
States Colorado has the highest average
altitude, estimated by the Geological
Survey at 6, 800 feet.
Although not the highest mountain,
Pixies Peak is probably the best-known
peak in the United States. There was
at ore time a Weather Bureau station
on its summit, and it now has a sub
stantial railway station at the terminus
of the highest railway line in North
America. 1t can also be reached by ar
excellent wagon road and trail which
