HELP CAUSE OF HEALTH INSUR-
 ANCE

One out of every nine deaths in the cities is due to tuberculosis. Careful investigations and reliable statistics prove that where sanitary conditions are improved, the rate of mortality de- creaseS. This accounts for the fact that it is lower in the city than in the country, where the rate is one m seven. However, there remains much to be done in the way of better living condi- tions in the cities. The people are just beginning to learn how they may guard against the insidiOuS advances of tuberculosis. Trained workers are studying carefully the disease and the conditions which produceait, and in To- calities where methods of prevention are more closely followed, there have been very marked decrease in the rate of mortality.
 The Arkansas Publice Health Asso- citation IS this week undertaking to raise in the State total of $150,00' through the sale of the Christmas Seals to carry on the work of combating this awful disease.
 A fact which should appeal to the la- toring classes is that the economic loss in wages in Pulaski County alone due to tuberculosis amounts to more han s90O,0O0 annually, computing the
 $ at the extremely low wage of $3
 day for each worker.

 CONTRACT REPORT

At the regular meeting of the Nenana Commercial Club held on January 3, action was taken to frus- trate, If possible, the letting of a contract for the completion of the Alaska Railroad, news of such a possibility having been received over the phone from Fairbanks and pub- lished in the Nenana News on Fri day, January 3.
 The members of the Commercial club, while not inclined to believe that the government would enter tain such a proposition, which was manifestly unfair to the people of Interior Alaska, were inclined to be- lieve that an agitation to discredit the work done by the Alaskan En- gineering commission, and in favor of turning over the work to con tractors, had been started.
 In order that the secretary of the interior might be fully informed of the situation here as affecting the interests of the people and the true state of affairs as actually existing in regard to the construc- tion of the railroad, committee consisting of Geo. w. Pennington, Dr. J. R. Bowen, H. B. Joseph and R. G. Southworth was appointed to advise Secretary Lane fully of the clubs endorsement of the Alaskan Engineering commission, in favoring continuance of the present meth ods of railroad construction, and the attitude of Nenanaites towards the Alaskan Engineering commis- sion.
 The committee accordingly sent the following telegram to Secretary of the Interior Lane:

 The Sims Carey company was mentioned in the rumor which said that this firm had been asked to submit figures for the completion of the road under contract, and that they had stipulated that, in case they were awarded the contract, their operations should be free from any interference on the part of the federal officers now in charge of construction work on the Alaska Railroad
