CHARGE ON THE COMMUNITY
Care Of Those AFFLICTED With Tubercu-
Iosis Plainly Drag on the
General Welfare.

4 DR.. H. L. Barnes, superintendent Of
the Rhode Island state sanitarium,
has recently demonstrated by some
interesting studies of patients dis
charged as apparently cured" from
that institution. that sanatorium Is
a sound investment for any state or
city. The gross earnings of ITO ex-
patients obtained In 1911 amounted to
$102,752, and those of Gil cases in
1912. to $112,021. BY applying the
same average earnings to all ex-pa-
tients Of the sanitorium living in 1911
and 1912, DR.. Barnes concludes that
their income in these two years was
1851, 900. This sum is more than three
times the cost of maintenance Of the
sanatorium. including interest at four
per cent. on the original investment
and depreciation charges. DIR. Barnes
concludes, however, while institu-
tions for the cure Of tuberculosis are
good investments, there Is good rea-
son for thinking that institutions for
the isolation of far advanced cases
would be still better investments"

thing to upset It and break It and

revolution or upset or confusion. We

build up industry as well and must

fetal stimulation only 80 far as 1t will

the tariff the method by which this
may be done will be a matter of judg-
ment. exercised item by item.
To some not accustomed to the ex-
elements and responsibilities Of
greater freedom our methods may In
some respects and at some points
seem heroic. but remedies may be
heroic and yet be remedies. 1t Is our
business to make sure that they are
genuine remedies. Our object is clear.
II our motive is above Just challenge
and only an occasional error of judg-
ment Is chargeable against US, we
shall be fortunate.
We are called upon to render the
country great service In more mat
tiers than one. Our responsibility
should be met and our methods should
be thorough, as thorough as moderate
and well considered, based upon the
facts as they are, and not worked out
as II We were beginners. We are to
deal with the facts of our own day,
with the facts Of no other, and to
make laws which square with those
facts. 1t is best, indeed 1t is neces-
sary, to begin with the tariff. I will
urge nothing upon you now at the
opening Of your session which can OBJ
scure that first object or divert our
energies from that clearly defined
duty. At later time may take the
liberty of calling your attention to re-
forms which should press close upon
the heels Of the tariff changes, II not
accompany them. of which the chief
is the reform Of our banking and cur
rency laws; but just now / refrain.
For the present, put these matters
on one side and think only of this one
thing-of the changes in our fiscal
system which may best serve to open
once more the free channels Of pros

would serve to the utmost and

Rose. From italy.

The rose, so long considered the
loral emblem of England, was not
known in that country until the early
part Of the fifteenth century. Rose
trees were then brought from Italy
and planted in the royal gardens.
They were sent as presents from the
holy father and highly esteemed by
royalty. 1t became the custom to
carve them over the doors OF the con.
fessional as holy flowers. hence the
term sub rosa (under the rose) used
to mean with secrecy" Ave Maria.
