thank you for the opportunity of in- specting With you a few days since the inti-tu5erculosis camp on Red mounsain. l have heard and read in general way abou; the work you are doing, but mad no real conception O; it's thoroughness and scope.
 Tt happens that circumstances, rath- CT than personal interest or desire have brought me in more or less inti- mate contact with individuals and or ganizations engaged in tubercular work. l have seen it's drawbacks, it's difficulties and sacrifices have been made to realize, nor only it's great and overshadoWing Importance. but the limitations imposed upon it by a lack of understanding. sympathy and help from the public, whose health and safety are so vitally dependent upon the perpetuity and growth of move ments and work like this.
 T was 10th surprised and gratified to find So much being accomplished with such limited resources and I won dered at what might be done with proper help and encouragement I found there order, system, cleanliness and cheerfulness I found there otherwise almost waste material, cleansed, beau tified and helpfully utilized In fact, conditions from every standpoint clear ly suggested careful, economical and scientific management.
 "rhe actual care and treatment of a tubercular patient requires patience, experience and a broad human sym pathy One stricken with this dread seourge needs the trained experience and understanding. which gently tenn pers the too often confident hope and smooths aid softens the crushing, pit iful moments of despair. The hospital or treatment part of the work, is ad l. mirably done, and tho patients who are fortunate enough to receive its help in time have an unusual opportunity to be saved. The great pity is that through lack of founds the accommodations for patients are so limited.
 '"The results Of your work can be seen and appreciated and the com mendation of this community is due you and all associated with you. To me it seems not only right, but imper- ative, that some scheme should be de- vised whereby the county and city should in some way furnish the money to continue and enlarge your opera tions. I ari impressed with the fact nected with our county and city gov ernment.
 You were good enough to tell me about what you were undertaking and hoped to accomplish along educational lines and this par- cf your plans ap- pealed to me most strongly.
 You will, know, pardon this ramb- ling letter. I have written it because am deeply interested. for driven into my life by the mvrciless hand of this thing you are fighting, lie two of its bitterly hopeless sorrows. Yours sim cerely, F. L. BROWN"

''TARANTISM" IS DISEASE, K AFFECTING SUFFRAGETTES
By c. E. STEWART

Washington, March 2s,-Cspecial.) )-''Are you suffragette? No; you're notl You're suffering from tarantisml"
 This is a brief summing up of the opin- ion reached by Dr. A. E. Shipley of Eng land, fact which has just been made known in the United States According to his investigations and those of German scientists, the suffragette suffers from a definite nervous disorder which Is known as tarantism
 However, there is hope for the suffa- gette, because tarantism Is curable in it's incipient stages at least. The malady is chiefly confined to women. Ages ago it baffled the physicians of early times and in the fourteenth and sixteenth cen turies it spread all over Europe. but the wise doctor of today. according to the European sharks, can distinguish it with ease.
 One of the most common habits of the poor woman who suffers with it is the monotonous and rhythmical utterance of some word or short phrase-like votes

PRAISE TROOPS FOR
 QUICK WORK AT THE
 CLAYTON LYNCHING

Montgomery, March 23.-(Special) Quick work of the members of two of the local companies of the Alabama Ma tiona1 Guard in assembling at the Union depot last Saturday night In an swer to the governors orders that they repair immediately tc Clanton in or der to protect negro from mob rule has won for them wide praise through out the city.
 The govcrror had long distane tel ephone call a few minutes before the o'clock train left for the north that the lynching of Will Young, negro was probable if military aid were not at once sent to the sheriff of Chiffon county. The governor immediately notified Adit. Gen. Joseph B. Scully, and although it was raining hard at the time and the men were all scat tered, in 45 minutes 40 men had as- sembled at the Union depots and had boarded the train for the north. The train was held for them nearly three quarters of an hour.
 The soldiers reached Clanton too late to save the negro's neck, notwithstand- Ing their unusual promptness in re- spending 10 the governors orders.

Steel and Iron Considered Good Barometer of Gener-
 al Business Conditions
MORE BUSINESS DONE
 MORE MEN EMPLOYED
The Report Is a Flat Contradiction, of Assertions That Depression Was in Evidence Dur
 ing the Year
Fly HOLLAND

New York, March 23.-(Speeial.) )-For those Who are now making careful study oi business conditions. not only at the present time, but in the year 1913, the t"enth annual report of the United States steel corporation furnishes fine oppor- tunities for study and reflection.
 The general impression at this time appears to be that business conditions are not quite what the business world could wish them to be. There do come reports from one or another section of the country which tell of fairly good business. and there also come reports fell Ing of greatly decreased pay rolls. the iaylns off of many artisans and the em- pioyment of many others upon half or two-thfrds time. If the iron and steel business of the United States can reason apiy be accepted as a good barometer of business conditions then the annual re- port or the Steel corporation nowadays, commonly called the corporation" should be able to furnish data which would show whether business conditions In the United States are good or fairly good
 Ihose who study carefully the report which has just been issued by the direc tors or the corporation" would undoubt- ediy be Justified in thinking that the pre- ceolng year was one of good or at least iairiy good business. Yet when attention IS gwen to various features of our busi- ness life at this time it might be felt that possibly nowadays the iron and steel in- dustry is not as good barometer of gen erai conditions as the late Jay Gould. and after him Andrew Carnegie, asserted that IL was; or else that in certain lines of the ron and steel industry the business was fairly good in 1913. whereas in other fields or industry in the United States 1t was not very satisfactory. Is the condition paradoxical? This is a question which has peen asked frequently of late, the mean Ing being: Is it true that the iron and steei industry or that part of it which
 the corporation" represents has been ialrly good whereas other industries can- not compare with the corporation in this resDPcto

for women In more advanced stages there is a loss of all self control and, because of this. the physicians across the water have suggested that the suf- ferer should be deprived of personal lib- erty.
 The tarantist shows marked prefer ence for certain colors or combinations of colors and is affected violently by mu- sic. This is where the similarity to St Nitus' dance comes in. People who have St. Vitus' dance are also affected by mu- sic and by certain colors.
 The treatment for tarantisn, as it has heen developed in Europe, is similar to that employed with more familiar nervous disorders. The patient is removed as much as possible from all excitement and complete change of air and scene is usually prescribed It has been found difficult to work complete cure in the nor eviolent cases which have been neg lected. Years after the victim has been apparently cured she has had a recurrence of the distressing symptoms.
 The records of this country so far fail to show that any suffragette in the United States has complained of tarant- ism.

year. That was due chiefly to the in- creased demands that came from Amer ican consumers.
 There seems to be no. doubt that the latest annual report of "the corporation does tend somewhat to disprove those who have asserted that business condi- tions in the United States in 1913 were far from satisfactory. For it is incredible that the largest manufacturers anywhere in the world of iron and steel products should have increased the number of their employees. the amount paid in wages and their income as compared with the pre- vious year unless business of almost all kinds had been better In 1913 than in the two or three years preceding.
