Rauages of Tuberculosis

In an effort to ascertain how serious a problem tuber-
culosis is to the average church congregation of the Unit
ed States, the national association for the study and pre-
vention of tuberculosis recently published a report which
shows that in nearly three thousand churches in thirty
seven states of the union, one funeral in every ten is due
to this single disease.
Through a QUESTIONABLE sent out all over the country,
2,852 %clergymen representing 1908, 300 communicates or
Pensioners, gave replies telling at how many funerals they
had officiated for the year ending August 81, 1914; how
many of these were due to tuberculosis; how many living
cases of tuberculosis they now have in their parishes, and
how many communicates or parishioners. There were &c.
1913 deaths from all causes reported, showing a death rate
of 1894 per 10000 population, which is considerably higher
than the corresponding rate for the entire country, 1887
in 1912. This high death rate is probably due to the fact
that pastors of churches officiate at many funerals of 9th
ers than members or communicates, while their member
ship reports are taken from actual records.
AS indicating the extent of the tuberculosis problem
in the average church the figures show that 1913 per cent
of all the funerals reported were caused by tuberculosis,
and that, in addition to the 3,7o4 deaths from this disease,
the ministers have 4,254 living cases now under their pas
toral supervision. In one year, therefore, the 2,S52
churches were caring for So4S cases of tuberculosis, or an
average of nearly three for each congregation. The av-
erage size of the congregations was fftysiX, which would
indicate that there is a case of tuberculosis developing each
year for every twenty church members.
Because tuberculosis demands so much time and mon
ey from the churches, the national association for the
study and prevention of tuberculosis is calling upon all OF
them throughout the United States to join in an educa-
tiOnal campaign against this disease on tuberculosis Day.
which will be observed during he week of November Goth.

The Belgians Are STARRING

Belgium is PROSTATE under the heels of Germany, with
millions of innocent people helpless and hungry. NO
where in history is there a more pitlful story OF a prosper
Gus nation brought to ruin IN a few short months. Inc
of war? Hell!
The entire world has been aroused by the plight of the
Belgians, and in every neutral country, especially the Unit
ed States, steps are being taken upon a systematic scale
to feed the starving people of that country. But the need
is great and millions of dollars will be required quickly II
good is to be done. We are proud that America is taking
the lead in this humanitarian work and that rel1et is al
ready on the way to the starving people across the sea.
An exchange, commenting on the conditions in Bel
gium, says:
A few short months ago one of the most prosper
Gus nations in Europe, at peace with all the world ana
resting in fancied security under guarantee OF neu-
tralitv by the great powers, Belgium is now, as in
centuries gone by, the battle-ground of Europe.
Her splendid cities are hopeless ruins. Her pros
porous farms are laid waste, and only blackened heaps
tell of the existence of thriving towns.
More than all this, tens OF thousands OF her peo-
pie have been slaughtered and all the rest are pau
pers, dependent on the willing aid of the great repub-
lie across the Atlantic. Even the nationality OF the
Belgian has been taken from him and he has been
made a subject OF the kaiser.
The only crime of the Belsians was that they re-
fused to permit the armies of the kaiser to march over
their soil to attack France. The boosted civilization
and honor of Germany did not last long after the war
dogs were unleashed.
It is useless to lament over the ruin wrought by
the action of the Germans. Belgium is the market
place of death. and innocent, helpless non-combatants
are starving.
Families once rich are in dire poverty, with starry
alton near. There is no money, but if there were it
would do no good, as there is no food to buy.
Manv of the cities of the United States are taking
steps to aid the Belgians. The Rockefeller founda-
.tion has decided to devote all its income to help the
starving victims of war. But through the winter sew
eral million dollars a month will be required to teed
these furnishing people.

"Back to the Mines

Under the caption of Back 10 the Mines the Denver
Mining and Financial Record discusses the situation due
TO the war and other causes, Il IS seldom. says that Jour
nal, that any mining property is developed, equipped and
made productive by any individual. Industrial enter
prises usually require the spirit and incentive of cooper
alton.
ness. Thus we find that the inquiry for mining property
will mean in the end the distribution of the rights and re-
sponsiblities of the venture among a number OF persons.
The corporation is the most normal torn, because IT IS the
most efficient and satisfactory. Those persons who seek
to draw a distinction between the mining business and the
mining stock business overlook this important connection,
The assembling of capital for the purpose OF mining is no
more remarkable than the assembling OF capital tor the
purpose of extending railway facilities or establishing or
expanding a manufacturing enterprise. In the end min
inc property takes the form of a corporation holding
a widely distributed stock issue. There are but few close
corporations in the mining world.
The search for mines is going on with more than usual
intensity. The organizers of industry are active IN this
sphere. The inference is that the investors are DESTROYS
of placing funds in this type of security. The swing OF
events is in the direction of western investment and devel
opment. The distinctive feature of capital is its desire for
refr1ition; it must have returns; the wasting OF the pr1n-
cipal is the height of folly. 1t IS found that the Old mar
kets for securities in the east are badly affected by the war
in Europe. The west feels very little the effects of the
conflict. and there seems to be a desire on capltals part
To oct as far from the sphere of influence of the great ca
tastrophe as possible. We believe that the important re-
sult of the war, so far as the west IS concerned, will be to
turn the eyes of capitalists to the new fields of the noun
+a;n REGIONS, to the business of mining.

Mining Societies

Organization seem, to be the slogan among the min
ng men of America at this time more than at any other
he other day the Tribune told OF a proposed organization
&C men engaged in metal mining in the state OF Nn:i
ornia-what is hoped will develop into a real organiza
ion. 1t seems that mining societies are now also en- gag
ng the attention of men interested in the mining industry
the Dominion of Canada, if one is to Judge by the edi
orial expressions of the Canadian Mining Journal. The
issue of the Journal says:
There are in Canada two important mining So
cieties: The Canadian Mining Institute, with nu-
merous branches throughout the Dominion, and the
Mining Society of Nova Scotia. The latter is, as it's
name implies, a provincial society, combining its in
terests largely to Nova Scotia.
Nova Scotia is and has been for years an lmpOr-
tant mineral producing province. In Cape Breton
occur the greatest coal deposits in Canada. The
province owes to the mining industry no small part
of its development. Mining began early in the his
tory of Nova Scotia, and has continued with marked
success. Gold mining was Tor some years actively
carried on; though it has of late years received little
attention. The number of men engaged in the min
ing industry resulted naturally in a desire for a So
ciety devoted to the interests OF mining and allied in
dustries. And so the Mining Society of Nova Scotia
came into existence.
In other provinces, notably British Columbia,
Ontario and Quebec, mining is also one of the leading
industries. But these Provinces have no Mining So
cieties. Instead the mining men have banded to-
gether to form the Canadian Mining Institute. Why,
then, should Nova Scotia stay cut?
The reasons seem to be many. The chief seems
to be that the society is an old one and wishes to re
tain its identity. Attempts have frequently been
made to sound the members on their Willingness to
have their society merged into the Canadian Min
ing Institute. This proposition meets with little
favor. The Nova Scotians are willing to be closely
affiliated; but they cannot be prevailed on to give up
their first love. And so the problem is not an easy
one. The Institute and the society should be on
closer terms. But what are the terms that will be
satisfactory to both parties?
