Tha frs, annual report Of Rock
,sIand's municipal tuberculosis sana-
,or.uu, was issued today. The report
& for the fiscal year ending Oct. 81.
rt,ty-three patients were treated at
ne institution during the year Eight
patients died and rs Of the patients
showed some Improvement after
treatment The work accomplished
Tho frs, year is encouraging in every
respect 10 the medical commission in
charge 1t is interesting to note that
mos, OF the vegetables used in feed
ms tie patients and employees were
raised on the sanator!um grounds. In
addition 10 the gardens the sanator-
fun has a full grown fruit and grape
o-chard. In this way the operating
expenses are greatly reduced.
II has been found. however, that the
one-nlill tax now being levied. Is en-
,irely inadequate, due to the ad-
ysnced cost of all commodities and
the increasing number of patients.
The commission will place on the bal
lot at the next general election the
proposition to levy two-mill sanator-
Inn tax. Under the two-mill tax the
Institution could be operated as it
should be, A three-mill tax is per-
Missile under the state law II is
hoped that the voters will support the
4 measure. At the preSent time there
Is quite a large waiting list Of pa
tents. Another condition the authori-
ties have to contend with, is the fact
that most patients will not enter the
hospital until their cases are too far
advanced to effect complete cure

summer routine, we expect larger

Journal published the list as sent by

Did you ever stop to think what the
greatest transportation system in the
world, that of your own country,
means? 1t means 100000 miles of
track, numbering 1873 large railroad
systems and about 800 short lines,
with $4,000 locomotives, 100000
freight cars, $4,000 passenger cars,
large freight end passenger terminals
in every city, and the operation and
maintenance of this great national
system costs about $2,650,000,000 a
year, of which more than $1,000, 000,-
600 is paid for materials and supplies
and 81 ,450, 100000 for wages to 1,S00,-
600 railroad employees, who with their
dependents constitute more than eight
per cent Of the entire population of
the country. This is some country in
which you live and do you wonder that
the kaiser casts envious eyes across
the seas and is untrue to himself and
to his people when he belittles the
power of America.

fee from Provost Marshal General
Crowder. The latter has ordered
that all local boards make the nece;-
sary arrangements and also to give as
much publicity as possible to the fact
that June 5, 1918, is the day for regis
tration.
In accordance herewith, Adjuta1t
General johnson Of Vermont has is
sued the following Instructions to local
boards:
''In accordance with the above in
structions, you VIII at once get in
touch with all the newspapers in your
county and give them the information
that is contained above, together with
the place of registration in each city
or township, and any other informa-

derstanding on the part Of the public.

Contributions to the Red Cross are
not being made in proportion to the
means and ability Of the givers. Many
working men and working girls who
are dependent on their daily labor are
giving $500 each time and many men
and women who have considerable
property are also giving $500 when
they should be giving $4,000. $1,000,
or $500, to do their share. The
people who are making sacrifices for
the Red Cross are mostly poor people.
This is not fair. The Liberty Bond
buyers are making no sacrifice. They
should give their interest checks, and
then some more, to Red Cross. As
Captain Finlay said at Arlington,
when our soldier boys return, they are
going to know who has given. Be
ready to look them in the eye with a
clear conscience when they come back.

who allow children TO play in the roads

IL We are to do any good"
At least six additional inspec-
tors who can act as diagnostician
In examining diseased persons, are
necessary at once, DIR. Layton said.
Additional care and equipment ID
necessary at the city contagious
hospital, where SO patients are
now confined. :
The archaeological laboratory
at the city hall needs an expert
in attendance at all times, because
OF the fact that diphtheria is be-
ginning to develop in addition TO
the measles and scarlet fever cpl
denies.
A large force is needed to assist
the quarantine officer, and add
tional clerical assistance is needed
in the health office. where one
young woman has been overwork-
ed of late attempting to keep all
records Of births, deaths and dis
ease.
Without any discussion the city
council decided to spend the ST.
900 to stop Tacoma's epidemisc,
altho 1t had no assurance of the
source Of the money. Mayor Faw-
cett complained that his health de-
partment budget had already been
overdrawn, and asked the other
commissioners to help him out.
He was told to spend the $5,-
900 from his department budget
and that the money would be re-
paid to him by some other depart
ment before the end of the year.
DR.. Layton was given authority
by the council to proceed at once
with whatever measures he con-
sidered necessary to prevent q
! federal ban being placed on the
city.
