HONESTY AND BASEBALL.

The editor of the American Maya
zine in the september number of that
publication, makes the following COM
ments on honesty and baseball in the
course of long and exceedingly inter-
esting editorial:
Baseball is one of the most high
ly and delicately organized activities
in the world, and yet it is clean as
mountain air. 1t is an immense mon
eymaker, but honest as daylight. 1t
is nervous and strenuous and calls into
play every resource of brain and
body, but every whit manly and above
board. 1t is the sport of outdoors
and free air, of open spaces, of hard,
clever give-and-take. of wholesome
temper and self-control. Its honesty
and wholesomeness I think, are the
ground of its universal appeal-the
reason, / mean. why all sorts and con-
ditions of men will stop a moment and
watch while street arabs play on cor
ner lot. 1t is a pause by the waysidc
shrine. little unconscious tribute to
our one great organized expression OF
honesty and clean-handedness.
Baseball has given our public
fine lesson in commercial morals. 1t
is a paying business, and it pays be-
cause it must be above suspicion. No
body ever dreams of croolledness or
shadiness in baseball The force of
this example cannot be altogether lost.
Some day all business will be reorgan-
lied and conducted by baseball stand
ards, and then the big business game
Will get the popular confidence and
support that it now seems to have lost.
1t can regain it any time that it makes
up its mind TO play by the same moral
rules and principles that now prevail

Fortune in Foxes.

Two hundred and nineteen live foxes,
ranging from black silver to red crosses,
valued at 1920, GEO. have been shipped from
Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New
York, and Pennsylvania since the opening
of the season.
The most valuable consignment, which
went forward yesterday. consisted of ten
pure black puppies, for which Kane Bros,
of Brooklyn, N. Y, paid $4,000. The ami
mails were sent to ogden, Pa, for propa-
cation purposes
Frederic NJ. Lee, president of the West
ern Raw Fur company, who recently ship
ped "a foxes, valued at $50, 000 to breeders
in Prince Edward Island announces that
he will not dispose of any more animals
to eastern ranchers, having decided to
establish a fox farm at Tees. Alta, where
40 foxes are now domiciled. He said:
advice from Eastern Canada are that
prices of live foxes have decreased from
% to so per cent in the last 30 days. This
slump is accounted for by large ship
ments through Edmonton from all over
the northern country, between the Yukon
and the Province of Saskatchewan. There
will be a reaction next fall, when prices
will be higher than they have been dur
ing the last few months.
Fur trapperS in the north are reaping
a veritable harvest now, as the foxes are
easily obtained by digging the pups out
of the holes before they have left their
nests. After this month the young foxes
win leave their dams and can only be
caught singly in traps. This means fewer
animals and higher prices. "-Edmonton

The National Association estimates
that there are over a million consump-
tives in the United States, of whom
probably at least one-third are unable
to provide for themselves the necessary
treatment at home. Most of these cases
are a menace to the health of their
families and associates, and should be
in special hospitals. At the present
time, however, even if ever case were
known, it would not be possible to pro-
vide accommodations for more than
one in eight or ten. The removal of
these foci of infection demands more
and better hospital and asanatorium
provision. ~

TUBERCULOSIS DEMANDS.

Nevada, Utah, wyoming and Missis-
sippi are the only states in the United
States which made no hospital or sana-
torium provision for consumptives. says
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis in a
bulletin issued recently. At the same
time the association asserts that, while
there are SO, 600 beds for tuberculosis
patients in other states. this number
is very inadequate. hardly more than
one for every eight or ten needy pat
tents being provided. Some states have
less than 80 beds, and in not a single
one is there a sufficient number avail
able.
The bulletin points that, although the
death rate from tuberculosis has de-
clined steadily for the last % years, a
marked increase in hospital and sana-
forum beds must be made before a
rate of even A or deaths for 1000 pop
ulation can be. reached. At the pres
ent time the city death rates in this
