TUBERCULOSIS
DEATH RATE IN
1921 FALLS OFF

New York-The reduction of the
tuberculosis death rate to ia per
100000, recently announced by the
United States bureau of the census,
is equivalent to saving of more
than $4,000 lives in this country
during the current year as con-
trasted with the tuberculosis death
rate OF Is years ago, according to a
statement ISSUED by the National
tuberculosis association today.
In 1905 the death rate from tu-
berculosis was about 1872 per
100 900. By 1910 it had declined to
$50, in 1915 ii was 146. There was
al slight increase in 1917 and 1918,
but in 1919 there was a sharp drop
to 126 and in 1920 to ia. Reports
received at headquarters of the
National tuberculosis association
indicate that the death rate for 1921
is still decreasing and will prob
ably be lower than the one in 1929,
which is the lowest on record.

SAYS LINCOLN
HIRED FIGHTER
AS SUBSTITUTE

Springfield, nl.-Vindicating his
memory of lines in an Army and
Navy Journal, read while preparing
TO follow General Sherman on his
march from Atlanta to the sea,
Emra II. Strait of Ottawa, a Civil
war veteran of Company f, Seth
Illinois Volunteers, has proved that
Abraham Lincoln, then president of
of the United States, employed and
sent a substitute to the front to
fight for him, and in his stead
Since reading the item in the
Army and Navy Journal, in April,
1864, MI. Strait had often repeated
that Mr.. Lincoln had given this ad-
ditional proof of earnest patriot
ism, but until lately he met nothing
but expressions of doubt, and de-
malls, even from men in high places
in the G. A R. Now he has proof.
and has presented photographed
copies Of it to the Lincoln monu-
ment here, the Memorial hall, and
the state historical library.
The substitutes name was J.
SummeEield Staples, whose tomb
stone in Stroudsburg, Pa, bears
this statement: - SummerfieId
Staples 4 private OF. Co. C. ITO
Reg. P. V. Also a member of the
End Reg. D. c. Vols, as a substi-
tute for Abraham Lincoln. Died
Jan. IL, 1888, aged 43 years, mos,
81 days"
Word of the substitute was
gained by Mr.. Strait in answer to a
request printed for him in a G. A.
n MAGAZINE One letter was from
mrs T. B. Staples, West Point
Pleasant, N. J., whose husband was
cousin of the presidents substi-
nte- Another letter was from Mrs
Phoebe A Dixon of Stroudsburg
Pa. who sent description of the
tombstone.
Other proof as obtained by Mr..
strait includes a copy OF an aft
daFit made by the commissioner of
the bureau of pensions at Washing
ton, whose records show that
Staples was obtained "as a repre-
sentative recruit for Abraham Lin
coin who was not liable to draft"
one OF the personal friends of the
substitute, Mr.. Strait learned, was
A Mitchell Palmer, member of
PRESIDENT Wilson's cabinet. Accord
ing TO stories now told. Summer
neid Staples was selected for Mr..
Lincoln by citizens OF Washington,
and was picked out because OF his
excellent physique.
Mr.. Strait, who has again brought
this matter to attention, was a sol
dier for four years and three
months, and was twice wounded
and given mp by army surgeons as
unable to SURVIVE Yet he is now
hale and hearty. bearing his so
years, his friends say, as one
score of years younger.

South St. Paul, Mimi, Dec. "A,
1921: Hogs and sheep have scored
uneven advances during the past week
under the influence Of light receipts and
a fairly healthy shipping demand.
Bulk and good butcher hogs today,
$500; choice light sorts, SIPS;
heavy packers, s5.75 to $500, being
25 to SO cents, higher than week ago.

lambs, $9.75 to $10.35; fat ewes, $3.50
to $3.50; yearling wethers, $3.50 to

Although cattle. receipts have been
light, demand has been even lighter,
due largelysto an increased consump-
zion OF poultry, which is usual during
the winter holiday season, and this has
sharply lessened the demand for
dressed beef, which has beenNrefe fected
in the live markets, most beef steers
and butcher she-stock showing losses
Of rs to so cents during the past week.
A few fed yearlings sold at the close,
from $3.50 to $500, with bulk Of beef
steers going at $4.75 to $500, very
few higher.
Butcher cows and heifers sold at the
finish largely from $500 to $4.75, with
a very few of the better offerings going
at $500 to $3.50 or somewhat higher.
Gamers and cutters have shown some
strength, due largely to demand from
the country for some thin cows for
feeding purposes, and these are mostly
E25 cents higher than last week, bulk
selling at $500 to $2.75, few cutters
at $500. Bologna bulls closed at
