C. Palmer. Julio Sinner. A Swiss citi-
zen also came to the border with the
party. They left Parral ten days ago.
They said everyone in Parral was ex-
peeting a Villa attack and many refu-
gees were leaving fer the border. All
of The Americans who were in Parral
at the time Villa occupied the town on
November y have now been accounted
for, for having come to the border
by way of Culiacan, Sinaloa.

consul at Parral also accompanied the
Americans. He was robbed of $4,000

to re=enter the town soon after the
refugees left for the border.

were at the railroad station preparing
to leave for the south and evacuate
the town to the Villa forces, when
We're near the refugees said.
Government agents received a re-
port that Villa was at Jiminez in
person and was preparing to move on
Torreon at once with his northern
command, cooperating with rebels
cooperating in the Laguna district
near Torreon.

was said by these government agents
to number less than 1000, while Villa

posToFFIcE DEPARTMENT NEWS.

Larger postal savings deposits will
now be accepted at the p0stoifice.
This is made possible by an i'm
portant amendment to the Postal
Savings Act just approved by Pres
ident Wilson. A postal savings
depositor may now have an account
amounting TO 1900 upon which in
terest will be paid. Formerly $500
was the maximum amount he could
have To his credit. This enlarge
ment of postal savings facilities will
be very gratifying to thousands OF
depositors who have already reached
the old $500 limit and are anxious
To entrust more of their savings To
Uncle Sam. Another feature of the
amendment that will avoid further
embarrassment TO the public and Ia
postal officials is the doing away
with the limit on the amount that
could be accepted from a deposition
monthly. Under the old law only
800 could be deposited in a cal
endar month. The amendment
abolishes this restriction. While
the Postal Savings System has al
ready proved a signal success as il
shown by the fact that more thar
half-a-million depositors have ovei
eighty million dollars standing Il
their credit, still il has fallen shorl

public because Of the restrictions

POVERTY AND TUBERCULOSIS

tuberculosis and poverty! These
are the essential facts which force
themselves to the attention of every
investigator who faces the problem
of that disease. The tenement
house district of Cincinnati yields
a tuberculosis morbidity just three
times as great as the areas where
better housing prevails. In 1877 fam
lilies in which tuberculosis existed
the average monthly income for a
family of four was approximately
s57. After paying the pro-rata share
for food and rent, balance OF 1913
remained for each individual to
meet all other expenses. Such a low
subsistence level works like black
magic in the spread of tuberculosis.
Moreover, and this is a point over
which the public should ponder, the
home of the average wage Garner
was found TO be far less sanitary
than the average factory and work
shop.
The city of Cincinnati realized
that her tuberculosis death rate was
50 per cent above the average and
that il had failed to manifest a ten
dency to decline. She felt no qualms
in making this admission. Rather,
she determined that she would learn
why, with an efficient health depart
ment and favorable climatic in
luences, she was suffering from
twice the mortality from that disease
as her neighbor, Pittsburg. Accord
ingly the United States Public
Health Service was requested to
make a thorough study of the stu
alton and submit report. To show
that something more than mere
academic interest obtained, 1885,
workers in 1874 factories Of the city
voluntarily submitted to physical
examination.
The conclusions reached, poin
directly to the close connection be-
tween poverty and tuberculosis. TIT
great fator underlying the entire
problem was seemingly that of &c
onomic conditions. One sixth OF al
tuberculosis cases came from cheaI
lodging houses. Alcoholism was
prominent cause, and often acceler
