COUNTRY is IN PERIOD
OF DISTRESS, HE SAYS
President Sprouts Attributes Condi-
ton to Clamor Against
Public Business.

CHICAGO. February 26.-"The coun-
try is in the midst of period of un-
employment and distress the like of
which the nation never saw before" /"
William Sprouts, president of the Pa
cific system of the Southen Pacific
company, said here last night in an ad-
dress at the annual dinner of the
Traffic Club.
He attributed this condition to what
he said was long-continued clamer
against all sorts of public business. and
predicted its end only when returning
prosperity for employers should spell
prosperity for the employed.
A letter from James j. Hill, read at
the banquet, declared that legislation
of the last two years, the most i'm
portant in commercial and financial af-
fairs since the civil war. has so dis
tracted business that not the best in
formed legislator nor the ablest lawyer
can give any more than a hint what
the effects of these regulations will be
on business.
What productive activity needs
most. what it has needed and must be
given to it soon If it is not to suffer
under accommodating troubles, is simply
period of freedom from uncertainty
resulting from constant political at
tacks," the letter said. Business needs

$4,000 MOUNTAINEERS
SUFFER FROM TRACHOMA
Public Health Service Combats
Dread Disease Among People
of Kentucky.

In the mountain section of Kentucky
alone there are $4,000 cases of trachona.
according to estimate of the public health
service. Old American stock of human
ity is the worst sufferer. indicating that
the responsibility is not on the shoul-
ders of incoming aliens. Indians. too. are
subject to the disease. while the negro
population is more or less immune.
Seven counties in 1912 showed 12L per
cent Of the population to be suffering
from this communicable eye disease, for
merly considered as foreign ailment
not existing to any extent in the United
States. This discovery led the public
health service to make further studies
of the prevalence of the disease. and in a
recent survey of twenty-three countries
1905 persons were examined. of whom
$50. or more than Z per cent. were found
afiicted with this mutilating eye disease.
In some of these countries the number
found infected was as high as 26.4 per
cent, while in others it fell to per cent.
The majority of those examined were
school children. and the findings may be
taken as representing fairly accurately
conditions among adults. Almost all of
those examined were whites, as the negro
population Is very small in the mounta IN
section of Kentucky. Inasmuch as the
bulk of the population in these counties
comes from old American stock. foreign
immigration cannot be blamed for the
prevalence Of the disease.
The public health service regards its
estimate of $4,000 cases in thirty-five
mountain counties as conservative. though
approximate, and has esta blished hos
pitals at various points for the treatment
of the disease and the education of the
general public as to the means of its pre-
vention. Trachoma undoubtedly exists in
many other places in this country.
1t is certainly widespread among the
Indian tribes, and the public health serv-
ice Is endeavoring to eradicate the dis
ease and prevent its spread.
