PATIENTS RECEIVE
VOCATIONAL HELP
Free Special Training Is
Offered Adults at Tuber. !
cuIosis Hospital.

Adult patients at tuberculosis Hos.
pital, an institution conducted by the
Rehabilitation Service of the Tuber-
culosis Association Of Washington.
have entered their second half year Of
free vocational training.
Oficials of the hospital have urged
patients to regard their hospitaliza-
tion period as challenge to prepare
for SAT job suitable to their physical
and mental abilities after the disease
has ',een arrested. The special train
ing courses have been conducted by
Joseph McGroary. whose report was
released yesterday by Mrs. Ernest r.
Grant. managing director Of the as
sociation.
Mrs. Grant pointed out that u
patients were aided by the hospital
during the past six months, classified
as follows: Employment obtained. l8:
financial aid, IA; special medical
treatment, 6; child placement, IA:
x-ray examinations, s; disqualification
OF family members. 2; clothing, /.
Since offering this service" the re-
port said, there have been requests
for assistance, other than those in
training, from 40 patients or ex-
patients resident in our own and other
sanatoria."
Mrs. Grant said that "little at
tention was paid until quite recently
to the sad fact that in a large num-
Der of instances tuberculosis sufferers
who after careful sanatorium treat
ment have been pronounced by
physicians as arrested cases, have ex-
perienced relapses into dangerous and
fatal stages of the disease due to
their re-entry into the field of in
dustry with improperly selected jobs
and bad working conditions.
These numerous relapsed cases
thus thrown back on the community
for care and disqualification do in
volve huge sum of money which the
public must pay in the form of taxa
ton or otherwise"

in 1888. over 1884 (2l,223 Kilograms
of gold were produced in 1880; al
though the price Of silver declined,
the production rose from 2.306, ,623
Kilograms in 1884 to 2,351 ,0s7 kilo-
grams In 1885. There has also been
an increase of oil production due In
part to the opening Of new fields.
Progress has been made in impor-
tant agreements between the United
States and Mexico in the past three
years Of my service as Ambassador.
Among the more important may be
mentioned the treaty covering the
settlement en- bloc Of the special
claims presented by our Government.
upon which $l.000,000 has been paid
to us by Mexico, protocol relative
to claims under the General Claims
Commission, treaty providing for
assistance Of vessels and salvage and
a treaty for the protection of migra-
tory birds and game mammals.
"Mexico's foreign trade balance is
most favorable. Her exports jumped
from 464. .o00, 900 pesos in 1880 to $780,
100000 pesos in 1885. Her imports
were 10000. 900 pesos in the former
year and 5000. 900 pesos in the lat
ter. Bank deposits doubled, approx
mately. in the same period. Mexico
ranked As our best merchandise GUS
toner in the Western Hemisphere
below the Rio Grance in 1885 and
purchased from us in that year almost
as much as Italy. Indeed, Mexico
and Cuba together, our nearest Latin
American neighbors, purchased more
merchandise from us in 1885 than
Italy, France or Germany. In speak
ing Of Mexico's foreign trade balance
1t is interesting to note that in 1885
American tourists and border crossers
spent approximately $4,000, 900 In
Mexico, which was about So per cent
Of the value Of merchandise purchases
made by Mexico from the United
States during that year.
"Great strides have been made in
liquidating illiteracy by the estab-
lishment Of thousands of rural schools
and the construction of several thou
sand miles Of good roads, including
the wonderful highway from the
Texas border to the capital city OF
Mexico, which was dedicated July IA
last with appropriate ceremonies.
This is an important section of the
grandiose project of the Pan-Ameri-
can Highway. which signAlizes the
gradual development of the American
continent and its growing intercom-
munication.
All Of these facts and forces pro-
vide happy augury for the work Of
the coming political conference of the
American peoples at Buenos Aires and
their closer consolidation In the in
