Lack of Gratitude.
TintOn Booster.

Why do We find so many people
that are not possessed of that feel
ing? People today are bent on Sc
curing the Almighty dollar and
will lay awake at night planning
to get ahead of their fellow man in
some transaction. The dollar is
the upper-most thought in their
mind, regardless of what may hap
Den, and that is why the lack OF
gratitude is apparent among SO
many. Some people want COM
munity to prosper, but at the 9TH
er fellows expense. Some are in-
clined to grab all they can and
give as little as possible. In nine
cases out of ten you can see by
observation that it is the selfish
man and the tight wad who are a
stumbling block to any commune
ty. Just pause moment and see
if this statement is not correct.
What the world needs today is
that feeling of brotherhood Of man

Virginia from this disease Is 1873 per
thousand Inhabitants. This Is the rate
from tho deaths reported as directly
caused by this infection. II is thought
that II the exact figures had been re.
ported that the rate would be much
higher as there are many deaths
caused indirectly by tuberculosis that
are ascribed to other diseases.
In regard to the plans for tho further
development OF the work In: Fairmont
and Marion county DR.. MacFarlana
stated that no definite action would be
taken until the community had been
further investigated which she will do
on returning. 1t Is likely however
that all school children will be inspect.
ed for tuberculosis which has not been
required previous to this time in this
state. Wheeling is the only city in
West Virginia that comes under the
Federal law requiring definite reports
and school inspection.
The big idea back OF the campaign
for improvement. of the work in West
Virginia Is to so arrange facts and
conditions that they may be presented
TO the legislature at the next session
and bill to have the state take over
the work will be passed. State con.
