MILLIONS SPENT
AGAINST PLAGUE
New York Led all States Last Year
in Anti-Tuberculosis War in
United States.

Nearly $4,000, 900 was spent in the
anti-tuberculosis campaign in the
United States during the year 1912
according to the fourth statistical
statement of expenditures in this
movement issued by the National
Association for the Study and Pre-
vention of tuberculosis today. These
annual statements are based largely
on reports received from anti-tuber-
culosis agencies throughout the coun-
try. The figures are estimated
where actual reports are not avail
able.
The expenditures during the year
for sanatorium and hospital construe-
ton and treatment make the largest
single item in the total, amounting
to nearly $16.S 500 900. This is a in
crease of nearly $4,000, 900 over the
same group of expenditures for the
year 1911 The anti-tuberculosis rs
sociations and committees spent V
err 1855, 900. while dispensaries and
tuberculosis clinics spent over $780,
600 Over Sis, 900 was spent for the
maintenance and establishment of
~open-air schools and fresh air classes
which Is more than double the
amount spent for this purpose in
1911. Official, state and municipal
expenditures outside of the mainten-
ance of institutions, which are in
cluded in the other totals, amounted
to s2SO,O 600. In addition to these fig
ures, about $4,000 600 was spent by
hospitals for insane and penal instf
tutions in caring for their tubercul-
Gus inmates.
The total expenditures for the year
1912 are 30 per cent. Or nearly $4,000,
900 greater than the total for the
year 1911, Another significant fea-
ture pointed out by the National AS
sociation, is the expenditure of pub
lie money. During the year 1912
$50 per cent. of the SIS, 900,0 900 spent
in tuberculosis work came from eth
err federal, state, county or munich
pal funds. This figure is considered
by the anti-tuberculosis workers as
particularly significant because 1t in
dictates the shifting or responsibility
for the provision of tuberculosis o
. pitfalls and other institutions upon
the municipality, county and state.

CHILD COMMITTEE
OPENS CAMPAIGN
Would Abolish Night Work and Es
tabIish the s-Hour Day FOR All
Under Sixteen.

The campaign for a new child la
Dor law has opened. Scores of clergy
men, educators. physicians and 9TH
ers this week received a questionable
from the West Virginia Child Labor
Committee, in order that the general
sentiment in favor Of further pro-
tecting the children Of the state may
be presented in definite form.
The Child Labor Committee wish
es TO establish the eight.hour day and
abolish night work for all under 1g
years. They say that thirteen states
%Gncluding Ohio already have the
eight hour day for all workers under
1e, and eight others have such a day
for certain workers under sixteen,
Only three states, besides West Vir-
ginia. have no'limit of hours whatever
and of those with a limit longer than
eight hours, several expect to estab-
lish the eight hour day for children
this winter. Since this is the recog-
nized standard for federal employ.
es and, in many states, for conyicts,
the committee believes that the peo-
pie of West Virginia will surely stand
back of it in this point Of the cam.
paign.
Twenty-eight states prohibit night
work for all under sixteen. They in
olude all the leading glass producing
states, except Pennsylvania and West
Virginia, and a strong campaign is
on in Pennsylvania to amend the law,
in order that the general prohibition
of night work under 16 shall include
Continuous industries" The commit
tee refers to the findings of the Fed
eral Investigation of the Condition of
Woman and Child Wage-Earners.
The physical severity of his work IS
one of he mos important aspects of
the question of the employment Of
children in the glass factory. y = The
severity of shop boys work is a com

Mr.. Editor.
Dear SIR
Some time IN December ! publish

southern end OF the county, and Mr..
Fowler accepted The appointment,
and anne TO town on the 18th Of De

a some little misunderstanding as

On January I'd, 1913, MIR. Fowler
came to my Office in company with
Mr.. Harry Whiting, of Inwood, and

to pursuade Mr.. Fowler to reconsld-
er his letter and accept the appoint

Mr.. Fowler and | have always been

this aspect of affairs that most caution

While retail trade Is good, IL would
move more freely If weather condi

lack employment, building being very
active. with mill work showing no
abatement. However, strikes for high .
or wages are quite numerous The
foundry iron market does not look
promising, consequently there may be
some curtailment i'm that quarter
Though the steel trade notes the alb

there is no talk of calculations.

encouraging fact that reports from

a heavy decrease at New York City
being more than offset by gains else
where, particularly at Chicago and at

Is a moderate gain IN shoes and as

for statesmen TO obtain orders There
is somewhat better outlook for

speculative markets are dull, and this
fact accounts largely for the decrease
