FIGHT PLAGUE IN THE ORIENT
American Anti-Tuberculosis Society
Has Been Active In Movement for
Health Preservation

tuberculosis is one OF the most Sc
rious public health problems Of the
Orient. Active organizations to fight
this disease have been formed in
Japan. the Philippines, India and Aus
tralia. A movement is on foot for =
national organization in China and la
a number OF cities local work has been
started. While no accurate figures
are available, those who are In po-
sition to know claim that consumption
takes annually from 100000 to l.OOO.-
600 lives In China alone. In India the
death rate Is fully as high, and on &C.
count Of caste distinctions and native
superstitions, the problem Of preven-
ton and treatment is peculiarly difii-
cult. The Japanese government has
taken hand officially in the control
Of tuberculosis. and Is cooperating
with two well.Organixed private asso-
Citations. The death rate. while very
high, II lower than In China and In.

FARM WAGES ADVANCING.
! y, This Spring Will be the Highest
"a. Z History of the State.

Adva~ Ag wages to farm hands
will makC&'e situation more diff
cult this sp' for the Iowa farm
ers, according departments at
the capitol in u dch with farming
conditions. The pay of farm hands
has steadily been increasing in the
past five years and it is indicated
that the maximum has not yet been
reached.
According to one report, farmer
in Warren county has contracted
with a farm hand for $42 a month.
Another farmer has agreed to pay
an employe $35 for March, $35 for
the summer months and $40 a month
during cornhusking time.
Reports of wages paid by farmers
in 1913, which are being received
at the office ef the department OF
agriculture, indicate that the aver
age summer wage was between S31
and $32 month. This is substan-
tial increase over the year 1912.
Farm wages have been going up
ward at the rate of 50 year. In
1909 the farmers on the average
paid hands $2652 a month, the re-
ports show. In 1910 the average
summer wage jumped to $2S.15 and
the winter scale to $21.13. In 1911,
the summer pay was $2S.61, and the
winter compensation S22.35. In 1912
farm hands in the. summer drew
S30.11 and in the winter $23.26. II
will be several weeks before the 1913
reports are complete, but the aver
age increase seems to have been
maintained during the year. Now
the farmers face another season with
threat of another advance. Ac-
cording to reports, it is the high
cost of farm labor which is mainly
responsible for the fact that farming
pays the farmer about per cent on
his investment, which includes his
labor for the year.

INFANT MORTALITY.
As Result of Neglect 100000 Babies
Die i'm a Year, is Report from
Chief of the Federal Chill
dren's Bureau.

Miss Julia Lathrop, chief of the
new federal Children's Bureau, says
in her first annual report, that 150,-
600 babies under one year of age die
in a year as the result of neglect.
Some one has remarked that it is
more dangerous to be a baby under
five years of age than to be over 80
years of age. The death rate is big
ger.
1t is curious fact that hard times
decrease infant mortality. Prosper
ity raises the baby death rate. For
when times are good, the mothers go
into the mills. There they make the
tragic trade of child life in exchange
for the money that is supposed to
buy more happiness and comfort.
When the Lancashire mills of Eng
land were shut down as the result of
the American Civil War and conse-
quent cotton famine, the death rate
of adults in that hungry and haggard
district showed a marked increase.
But the death rate of infants was
smaller.
The natural food of infants, even
with an i'll nourished mother, is more
wholesome than food that seems bet
ter from the adult viewpoint, if it
is accompanied by neglect.
OF course the needless infant NOR
tality is largely among the ignorant
population, a big slice of it in fam
lilies of newcomers just arrived from
the coarser sections of Europe. When
the immigrant baby is sick, the doc
tor is the last one to be called. Pre-
viously a council of neighbors and
friends is held. The conclave assem-
bles in the sick room, the men smok-
ing. The air is nearly thick enough
to stifie we'll person, let alone the
little bud of life fading out on the
pillow. AS a last resort the physi-
clan comes. But it is too late.
Doctor no good" says the neigh
borhood, as the relatives gather for
the funeral. But the undertaker's S
bill is enough TO have paid the doc
tors several times over had he been
called in time. -

L. S. INCOME TAX $50, 100000.
Officials Estimate That 100000 Will
Have Paid by End of This
Week.

Internal revenue officials in Chi
cago yesterday estimated the yield
of the new income tax law for the
entire United States will amount to
almost $60,000,000. This sum they
think will be paid into the United
States treasury by 100000 income
tax payers.
For the Chicago district the indi-
vidual income tax harvest will
amount to about $3,250,000, &C
cording to an estimate made by Sam
uel NJ. Fitch, collector of internal
revenue. There are siXty-seven col
lection districts throughout the
country. The heaviest yields, it is
expected, will be recorded in the Chi
cago and New York districts.
The final rush to file returns un-
der the new law is on. Only six
more days remain to file returns be-
fore the penalty clause becomes OPP
erative automatically for failure 10
make returns in time. Most of the
largest income recipients in Chicago
have not yet been heard from.
March 4, 1913, Last Day.
March 1 is the last day prescrib-
ed by law That date falls on Sun
day. For that reason it is likely
Saturday will be designated as the
last day. unless the commissioner
of internal revenue at Washington
makes a ruling extending the time
until Monday.
The penalties Of the law are Sc
we're. For failure to file returns on
time the law prescribes fines from
$40 to $1,000 and an automatic ad-
dition of so per cent of the tax. For
making fraudulent returns the law
