traceabae 70 occupational hazards ana
had working conditions.
'arhe sresf factor underlying the en-
tire problem" says the report, rs
seemingly thst of economic condi-
tons"
As examples, statistics gathered In
Cincinnati and Pittsburgh are cited
In the former cities tenement district
tuberculosis morbidtty was found to
be three times as great as in the bet
tor sections and the average monthly
income Of 1877 families in which cases
were found was computed rs $57. Much
the same condition was discovered in
Pittsburgh, where nearly 10000 fac
tory workmen submitted to physical
examinations in the course of the In
vestigation. F
The report also points out the vary
ing effect of immigration on the In
crease of tuberculosis. It says:
Almost without exception, cities
with a high percentage of Irish. Scan
dinavian and German stock, and those
in which the colored population is re-
latively large, have correspondingly
high mortality, while those whore the
Italian and Jewish element is proper
tionately great have a low tubercu-
losis rate. Such cities as Detroit and
Cleveland, with high rates of populG'
ton increase, show low tuberculosis
mortality, while Cincinnati and Balti'
more with q relatively small increase
have high tuberculosis rates. Doubt
less the true explanation of this dis
crepancy is that whore the population
increase is rapid new buildings are
erected to take the place of old insan-
itary structures and better housing
conditions prevail

think of dinner that was given In
Rome in honor of two Turkish noble
men, l sat near the younger of the
noblemen. He glittered with gold
embroidery and great diamonds. but
nevertheless, pitied him sincerely,
for he was strange to our table man
ners and some of his errors were
both ludicrous and painful.
Toward the end Of the dinner q
servant brought to the young man a
plate of toothpicks. He waved the
plate away. y.
"No, thank you, he said. I have
already eaten two of the awful things.
I want no more"
A man who worked in the packing

he was going into business for him
