THE 1913 FIGHT AGAINST TUBER-
CIuOSIS

It is reassuring sign that during
the past year over $20,0o00o0 was spent
in the United States for treatment and
prevention of tuberculosis, the statement
having been made by the National As
ISOLATION for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis and being presumed to
be fairly accurate although in the com.
pilation OF the statistics it was neces-
sary to estimate the amounts in some
instances, in which no definite reports
were presented. BY far the greater part
of this large total was expended in the
construction of tuberculosis hospitals
and sanatoria, the actual cost of keep
ing the patients being small in compari'
son with the first cost of the work, viz,
the building operations. II is note
worthy in this connection that the year
1913 saw a shifting OF the burden of
to the public funds. Considerably more
than one-half of the money expended
came from public funds, although the
private donations to the splendid work
aggregated large amount. New York
was the foremost state in the expendi
ture of money for this purposes in fact,
New York spent more than any other
two states of the country, its total being
nearly S5,000,000. And New York, hav.
ing the largest population and some of
the worst conditions possible for the
breeding Of tuberculosis, needs to spend
the most money; but that does not shift
the responsibility in the least of those
other states and individual units of those
states from doing their share toward
fighting the disease. Every state ought
to appropriate money for this work, and
every community where the disease is
likely to gain a foothold is in duty
bound to do something toward wiping
out the white plague. The coming year
there should be a vast increase in the
amount of money expended for this
work.

Robbing War Of One Terror.

In the year just ended but two cases
Of typhoid fever appeared in the army.
Before the introduction Of the compul-
sorry typhoid vaccination, there were
hundreds. Scores died Even the two
present exceptions are partly accounted
for. One contracted the disease just be-
fore enlisting. The other was among
the troops in China and it is doubtful
if he was ever inocculated.
In the navy, where the vaccine was
adopted somewhat later, there were sew
en- cases in one and one-half times as
great a number OF enlisted men as in
the army. OF these four received their
incubation at remote tropical station
where the vaccine had deteriorated.
These figures tell a story which only
the anti-vaccinationists will fail to APP
preciate. Even making no allowance for
the slip-ups which, in no way invalidate
the prophylaetic excellence OF the proce-
dure, the record of but nine cases in
100000 men represents an achievement
of which science may justly feel proud

New England and the New Year.

During the year that has just closed
there has been .1ntative development
of get together movement among the
states included in the section known
as New England Ii is a movement that
should be encouraged and strengthened
in the year that Is opening before us,
This does not mean spirit of detach-
ment from other sections or natural
groups, We should give full value to our
common national interests and cordially
contribute our share to their advance
ment; but there are certain questions
with respect TO which New England
should act as a whole and not as de-
tached states. We have made some
progress toward such consummation,
especially with respect to railroad mat

CURRENT COMMENT
Electrocution Established.

Bosworth, the Vermont murderer, had
the melancholy distinction of being the
last person in that state to satisfy a
capital sentence by being hanged. Here
after Vermont will follow the lead of
Massachusetts,, New York, Pennsylvania
and some other states and substitute
electrocution. Whether the superiority
of the latter method has been estab-
lished is probably a question still de-
batable. Those who have been in a
position to give most expert evidence
are no longer qualified to testify. Is
the punishment more humane and less
lingeringY Is it perhaps a step toward
the abolition Of capital punishment
1t is not easy to see why it should lead
to that end, but when an institution that
has been in service since the days of
Hannah and, probably, much longer,
passes, it may presage all kinds of
change. Electricity is one of the forces
of an advanced civilization and in EN-
ploying it for this gruesome task we
may feel that We are putting the clumsy
methods of the past still further into
the shadow.-Boston Transcript.

and so have been the rains--there is
but little ground for thinking that win
ters were regularly harder in the good
old times. The heaviest snowfall since
1871 was that of 1874, total of 964
inches; but for thaws this would have
made a blanket over eight feet deep.
Yet in the next winter but one, came
the lightest snowfall of the whole 43
years-not half a foot. On the other
hand, the next heaviest snowfall, some
thing over seven feet, was that of 1903
i04
Nor did the older winters buster
earlier than ours. On the contrary, the
average December snowfall from TIE
to '92-93 was one-tenth OF an inch less
than that of the 81 Defenders since. No
wonder that Mr.. Smith, with every or
thodox associate, regards the variations
in our weather as no more significant
than the little waivers in the straight
lines of a freehand drawing.
After the open winter of 1916, Mr..
Albert Flanders, of the Boston firm of
Lewis Flanders & company, began to
keep couns of the days on which the
company's work was done on sleds. This
record shows what the snowfall has
actually meant for teamsters. In five
years. $3.50 '99-00, '05-06, '07-0s, ~
10, the sleds were not even implied from
summer storage. In 1890 they re-
manned in storage until March 7, when
they were forced into service "A round
hundred of them--for but two whole
days. The entries, winter by winter,
make it plain that heavy snowfall does
not necessarily mean long shedding As
would be expected, the exceptional win
ter of '03-04, with 1871 inches of snow,
gave the most sledding-5l days in all
But '07-0S, with 5l.9 inches of snow,
saw the sleds out on only nine days In
'92 -93, snowfall of 673 inches allowed
the sleds but 30 days; while in 1917,
about half as much snow gave about
half again as many days for the run
ners.
Not only as remembered, but as reck
oned with in industry, the weather
swings wide from that recorded in the
calm recesses of the federal building

The decision to hold the next conven-
ton of the Vermont state teachers con
vention at st. Johnsbury will be APP
plauded by those who wish to have the
most powerful educational influences Civ
en- to as many sections of the state as
possible. It doesn't do the state the
most good to have the conventions held
in any single section or two or three
sections of the state year after year,
albeit local loyalty may cause citizens
of certain cities to work to secure the
convention as often as possible.

tiers. The special representative com
mission which came together last year
to consider our acute transportation
problems was a recognition of common
responsibility. If those problems were
not solved there was yet secured bet
ter general understanding of our COM
mon relation.
New England now occupies different
attitude toward the rest of the country
from that of the past. 1t is new
New England that is dealing with new
questions. Boston is the central force in
the new situation. We have seen the
unfortunate results of letting our enter.
prises get away from us to be wrecked
under alien control. We have not only
lacked the close cooperation which
should have prevailed, but there have
been discords that have prevented the
adoption of a common policy, common
surate with the proper influence of
section of so large population and great
wealth. The New England states, sep
arately considered, can hardly hope for
the national recognition that they have
enjoyed in the past; but If they can CO.
ordinate their interest and the methods
of their promotion this ancient corner
of the country will still remain a pow
er in the land. But even with mar
rover view of opportunity and obligation
we shall be able to deal more effectively
with those problems that by their very
nature are largely sectional. The motto
OF "the Three Guardsmen" is an excel.
lent one to adopt at the opening of
new year. 1t should be zone for all
and all for one" If there have been
jealousies or cross-purposes in the past
it is a good time and wise policy to
drop them and work toward common
goal for common beneft.-Boston

As far as the prediction for New Eng
land was concerned, the weather bureau
Mt Washington was slightly off in its
prediction of snowfall for Saturday and
Sunday due to the fact, no doubt, that
the storm was detected toward the At
lantic states without touching New Eng
land. However, no reflections are cast
on the weather sharps for the slight
miscalculation because everyone knows
that the weather is slippery customer

takes up the question whether we are
getting less snow nowadays than in the
winters of our boyhood. He prints

triangular shaped pieces of cloth. As
but one edge of the tent covering is
pegged to the ground, you must tack
it along the rfdge-pole. By pulling
away the stick props, and dropping
the canopy, your tent will be enclosed
