Forty-nine years ago today the
worlds first meeting of the Salvation
Army was held. 1t took place in an
old patched tent erected in an ancient
burial ground in the White chapel dis
trict OF London. The first preacher
was William Booth, clergyman who
was at that time without a church.
He had been called upon to take
the place of the regular minister, who
was lying III at his home. The first
congregation was made up of a mass
OF poor people, many of them evidently
without God, or hope in the world.
After the meeting Booth hurried to
his home and exclaimed to his wife:
Kate. | have found my destiny! AS
/ passed by the doors OF the naming
palaces tonight l seemed to hear
a voice sounding e my ears: Where
can YOU find such heathens as these
and where is there so great need for
your labors?' And there and then in
nv soul / offered myself and you and
our children up TO this great work"
This was the beginning of a world
wide organization. From that day
meetings were held regularly. On
the third Sunday the tent blew down
and was wrecked beyond repair. Hav-
ing no money for another and with
out funds TO rent a building, Booth
preached in the open air. Finally he
secured the use of an Old dance hall
that was not in use on Sundays. Week
day meetings were held in a dilapi-
dated shed, Formerly storehouse for
old rags. AS the Army grew it was
forced into the streets; narrow alleys,

Questions and Answers.
BERTHE W. asks: % What is your
opinion of San Antonio as a resort for
one with tuberculosis of the lungs, of
several months standing? (2) Would
it be possible for a young person to re-
cover and remain well If the residence
was maintained? CD Is tuberculosis
hereditary? (I What are the chances
of acquiring the disease through mar
riage?
Reply.
1. San Antonio is a good climate for
early (incipienD cases. No climate
will save a person in the later stage

2. Yes. the majority of incipient
cases recover under proper manage
ment.
3. No. Children acquire 1t by con-
tact with infected parents or others in
the home. also from milk from tubercu-
lar herds.
4. One would be almost certain to
acquire tuberculosis in this way. That
is, if the partner has open tuberculosis

Preventing Underground Electric Currents

more than a reasonable amount of the
burden of correcting the trouble on
one utility. Suppose, for example,
that high-pressure gas main par
allefed an electric railway feeder sub
way and that gas leaked into the lat
ter. The railway company might
complain that work in its manholes
was hazardous and that the burden.
was upon the gas company to prevent
all leakage from it's pipe line. But
If the pipe line was in practically
gas-tight condition and some slight
leakage could be considered an oper-
ating necessity. the remedy to be ap-
piled should be that which at the least
ultimate cost would give the neces-
sary protection, whether the change
was made in the gas pipes or in the
conduit of the railway company. The
cost ought then to be equitably shared
in accordance with the facts.

to the noble earl for being our chair
man this evening" / don't see why
we should thank him any more than
he should thank us. When at one
time they offered TO thank our Mr.. Lin
coin for presiding over a meeting in
Illinois he stopped it. He said he'd
tried to do his duty and they'd tried to
do theirs. He thought it was about an
even thing all around"
That opening fairly took the breath
away from Mr.. Moody's hearers. Such
talk could not be gagged by any
known standard. Mr.. Moody carried
his English audience with him from
that beginning to his latest labors.

has presided on this occasion
The whole thing was quite out Of
Mr.. Moody's line. With an utter dis
regard of conventionality he burst
upon the audience with the bold an
nouncement:

takes. To begin with, I'm not the
Rev. Mr. Moody at all. I'm plain

Electric Railway JournaD .

A few years ago there was mGe or
less prevalent hysteria in regard to
the electrolytic corrosion due to stray
currents from electric railway reSlrn
circuits. This is disappearing as scien.
tific information becomes more plenti-
full and accessible. Owners of pipes
and cables are coming to realize that
the distribution of this current follows
FAMILIAR electrical laws whose applica-
ton will control or eliminate it.
With the increase in the financial
burdens which street railways are
called upon to carry they cannot be
expected TO undertake large expendi-
lures to prevent fancied injury to
other users OF the soil. Electric trac-
ton is a public necessity just as are
gas. telephone communication, water
or electric power. The other users OF
the streets have no right to throw

On the platform he warned her:

At the end OF her journey she was

her the sights.
Anne was half afraid of the luxury

THE 2OO.FOoT LIMIT.

Some years ago Chicago, in line
with progressive cities in Europe and
a few in this country, decided to limit
the height of buildings in the business
section. The maximum limit was set
at 200 feet, a figure which those who
have studied the question exhaustively
believe is too high, and which must be
suffered only because It is now too
late to do anything except compro-
mise. Certain promoters now want
permission to erect a 260-foot build
ing, pointing out that in the neighbor-
hood of the site selected there are
structures which reach this elevation.
Unfortunately. says Engineering Rec
ord, the mayor Of the city and some
of the newspapers seem disposed TO
favor the project
II Chicago wants to court the con-
gestion which obtains in lower New
York the way is an easy one. Like
New York, however, repentance will
come before long and will do but little
good. Ii will have to bear what it
has brought upon itself and spend its
millions more lavishly than otherwise
in providing subway facilities to re-
lieve the congestion. The concom-
itants of the high building-poor
and poor ventilation-are re-
garded lightly. Sanitarians, however,
take quite a different view of these
matters. For the sake of the city's
of its future generations
it is to be hoped that Chicago will
abide by .ts 2OO-foot limit.

Month by month there accumulates
more and more evidence to support the
conclusion that aerial transmission of
disease is a myth; that dust as germ
carrier is of little or no importance in
sanitation; that personal contact with
the disease itself or with carriers, hui
man, animal CT insect, explains the
spread of infectious or epidemic dis
ease.
Our foremost authorities on tubercu-
losis have formulated the axiom that
IA careful consumptive is not a men,
ace to adult associates under ordinary
conditions of life" Prolonged and in
innate contact with the disease seems
to be an essential factor of infection.
II the careful, cleanly consumptive
does not contaminate his environment,
why should 1t be necessary to disin-
feet or fumigate mis- apartments after
his removal therefrom?
Importance of Personal Cleanliness.
AS DR.. c. V. Chaplin, the eminent
health superintendent of Providence,
observes, terminal disinfection and
fumigation of the apartments of con-
.sumptives concentrates popular atten-
ton on a very unimportant source of
the disease" DR.. Chaplin is the apostle
of medical asepsis in America. He de-
clares, and offers the most convincing
practical proof to uphold the declara-
ton. that II physicians and attendants
of the sick would practice the same
scrupulous degree of personal cleanli-
ness-asepsis-as surgeons practice in
the operating room, there would be lit
tie need OF fumigation after the Illness.
For several years DR.. Chaplin has
managed to keep the sanitary records
OF Providence on an enviable plane
without the aid OF fumigation and dis
infection of rooms after scarlet fever
and diphtheria- He considers such
work a foolish waste of public funds
which is kept up simply from force OF
custom-a custom founded on ancient
decisions that microbes travelled in the
air from house to house during cpl
denies.
