FIGHTING THE WHITE PLAGUE
What New York ls Accomplishing
With the Application of Approved
Scientific Methods.

The organized fight against tuber-
culosis in New York, under the latest
approved scientific methods, dates
only from 1904. Before that time
there was no successful effort on the
part of the authorities to diagnose
the disease properly, nor any at
tempt to deal with 1t intelligently
when it was discovered accidentally.
Yet New York is as great sufferer
from the white plague as any other
locality. It's congested living, it's
large negro population and It's indi-
gent foreigners, ignorant of our Ian
guage and customs, make it fertile
breeding ground for the tubercle ba-
cillus.
Within eight years, twenty-nine tu-
berculosis clinics have been estab-
lished, and several day camps have
been built where sufferers can recu-
perate without expense and without
ough blood and sputum tests are
made with modern scientific appara-
tus At the same time, 1t has been
widely made known that to recover
from the dread disease it is not nee
essary to leave the city, which, sit
uated between two bodies of water, is
swept constantly by fresh air, the
chief necessity in the treatment OF
tuberculosis.-From Richard Barry's
"a War Worth Waging'' in the Gen.

MAKES GOOD OBJECT LESSON
Cleveland School Children, Taught to
Take Care of Their Desks, Learn
Respect for Property.

Through cultivation among public
school pupils OF a respect for public
property and desire to protect it,
school officials are blazing the way to
the elimination of graft" and the mis-
use of public funds, J. NJ H. Frederick,
school superintendent, told members
of the Cleveland Fellowcraft club at
a luncheon recently.
This end is to be attained, according
to Mr.. Frederick, by the teaching Of
local patriotism In the schools. Local
patriotism is not study, 1t was ex-
planned, but the development OF de-
sire in each boy and girl to protect
and care for school property intrusted
to them.
Patriotism begins at home" said
Mr.. Frederick, land with child in
school, 1t begins with his desk. The
child who marks, mars or carves his
desk is not good citizen.
Pupils are taught that the marring
OF a desk impsirs its usefulness and
that after time II must be thrown
away and new desk purchased. They
are taught that desks and other school
property are paid for from funds de-
rived from taxation. Their parents pay
the taxes. Therefore. by preserving
school property, they are saving their
fathers and mothers from unnecessary
expense"

GRAVE DISPUTE OVER SALUTE
Russian Medical Students Refused to
Accord 1t to Officers, So Academy
Was Closed.

The military medical academy in st.
Petersburg has been closed, the stu
dents dismissed and the Russian army
deprived Of its customary accession
of young "sawbones," all because the
students have refused to give the mil
itary salute when passing officers of
the army and navy.
1t seems the military authorities re-
Gently realized that the students were,
after all, candidates for army posts
and subject to army discipline, and
they issued orders that they salute
when meeting officers. The students
refused and for several months there
has been steady succession of
street rows, due to officers attempting
to insist on the proper salute. Final
ly the matter came to bloody encoun-
tiers, in which officers cut down with
their swords students who persistently
refused to salute them. Discipline in
the academy went entirely by the
board, studies stopped and the author
tiles finally closed the institution.
Another order affecting Russian stu
dents is of less serious nature. 1t
forbids students, in all the military
schools preparing for officers rank, to
visit the roller skating Kinks which
are now found everywhere in Rus
STA. Society at these places during
the evening hours is not exactly select,
and the students are thought best
away from contamination.

CONTRAST in rwo Great Estates.

The list published after the fling of
the official appraisal OF E. H Harri-
mans estate disclosed the fact that
the bulk of the 10000. 600 estate left
by the railroad man was composed of
stocks, many of them speculative.
From the list now published showing
the extent OF Col John Jacob Astor's
wealth, it is learned that the charac-
ter of that mans sS7,216,000 estate
was vastly different. Property hold
ings in New York city largely FREEDOM
mated. Realty holdings Of Hartman
was appraised at s2.s2S.000; the As
tor realty is appraised at $51.25s, 900.
At the same time, one OF the largest
single blocks OF property In the AS
tor estate is shown 10 consist OF 40
coo shares OF New York Central That
is valued at s4,65o.000. and only the
interest of the estate in the Hotel As
tor and in the Knickerbocker is given
larger valuation. There are three 9TH
err large blocks OF railroad stock in
the Aston list. 5000 shares of Della
ware & Hudson, $4,000 of Illinois Gen.
trail and 6.22s OF New Haven.

ing of the citizens of Edgar and the
farmers, Edgar can be made known
as one OF the most thriving villages
in the state. You will find it rather
difficult to find village the size of
ours, that has the business men in it,
that have the confidence of its citi-
zers and the nerve to hire the music
and have attractions come here as
your own town has. This may sound
little on the order of boast to
anyone who has never attended our
annual fairs, but to the visitors who
were here we can justly say that the
above statement is true.

His objection

A trolley company was contem-
plating running its line so that it
would join certain small town, at
the time practically removed from the
outer world, with a growing city. In
the course Of the hearings one farmer,
who was prominent in affairs in the
small town, argued persistentiy
against the railway entering the VIII
lage. But he advanced no real reason
for his antagonism until the counsel
for the railroad asked him:
''Mr. Perkins. just what is your OBJ
lection to our hne7"
Then Perkins Strengthened up. He
looked defiantly at every one In the
room and said:
This is a small village. We amt
got many folks here. II the trolley Is
brought here 1t VIII be easy to get
out, and we might lose all the folks
We have. That's my objection"

work at Barium and the other or
phanages the children left homeless
would be left not only to suffering
and privation, but in the majority of
cases probably would grow up un-

no greater claim on humanity and

money asked for this equipment;and
they should do it promptly. They
will not only fail in their duty to the

they will discredit themselves as u
denomination if the need is not
promptly met. Having engaged in
this work they must meet it's needs
