Tuberculosis Death RateHas Been Decreased the Reports Show. (National News Association) WASHINGTON, May 30. With medical and scientific experts frpm all parts of the country present, the eighth annual meeting of thhe National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis convened here in the auditorium of the New Willard hotel today. The meeting was the most largely attended in the history of the organization, great interest being shown by the delegates in the various subjects to ge discussed during the two-day session. The reading of papers began this afternoon. The first address was that of Frederick Hoffman, chief statisician of the Prudential Insurance company, who offered his felicitations to the assembled foes of the White Plague over the marked decrease of the disease during the past year and discussed "The Treatment and Care of Tuberculosis Wage Earners in Germany." Mr. Hoffman was followed by Herman M. Riggs, chief medical officer of the New York city department of health, who spoke on the tuberculosis death rate in large cities, demonstrating by means of a comparative table the decrease of the plague, and Irving Fisher, Yale's professor of Economics, who read a paper on the eco.nomic cost of tuberculosis. A Systematic Fight. Mr. Hoffman, addressing the sociological section of the association, stated that the treatment of tuberculosis among Berman wage earners has been a question seriously considered by the German government. He said in part : "Realizing the inadequacy of existing institutions or methods and means jfbr the treatment of invalid members, particularly those suffering from tu

berculosis of the lungs, the insurance institutions established public sanatoria at their own expense, or furnished funds at reasonable rates of interest for the establishment of such institutions by municipalities or larger administrative communities. On account of the fact that tuberculosis of the lungs is one of the chief causes of physical impairment, with resulting loss of earning power, the activity of these insurance institutions in the field of preventive effort and cure have largely centralized upon the most most important disease. The treatment and care is without expense to the patient, who is, however, required to make not less than two hundred weekly contributions to the invalidity insurance fund. In addition to the patient's care, financial support is provided for the patient's family so as to relieve him from personal anxiety and bring about the best possible conditions for a cure. "The effect of this systematic effort for tuberculosis wage-earners ia shown in the steady decline in the death rate from tuberculosis in the German Empire as a whole. Taking a group of large German cities, we note that the death rate from tuberculosis per 10,000 population has decreased from 34.6 in 1884 to 17.9 in 1909, and that it is now lower than the death rate of a similar group of American cities, whose rate in 1910 was 18.5.'

Plague Death Rate. In his paper on'The Death Rate from Tuberculosis in Large Cities," Dr. Riggs said in part: "There can be no doubt that the Tate of decrease in deaths from tuberculosis in numerous countries and cities has been proportionate to the activity and energy with which the campaign for prevention has been carried on. "It will be noted that the only one of these large cities in which there has been, an increase in the death rate from pulmonary tuberculosis is in Chicago. The most remarkable decrease, not only in the general death rate but In the death rate from pulmonary tuberculosis has taken place in London. It may be noted that the

death rate in Paris is more than three

tiroes that of London and twice that

of New York and Berlin. "As has often been pointed out, the difficulties in the way of prevention are far greater in New York than in any other large city, but the results which have been attained in these recent years everywhere, where active campaigns have been carried on, are certainly most encouraging." The paper on "Revised Estimate of the Economic Cost of Tuberculosis," " by Prof. Fisher, reviewed for the sociological section the statistics of. tu

berculosis since 1908, when Prof. Fisher gave a report on this subject before the International Congress on Tuberculosis. At that time, he showed that tuberculosis costs the country over a billion dollars a year, of which

. THE LOVE THAT COUNTS The greatest modern sin is the abstract love of humanity, impersonal love for those who are -somewhere, out of eight I To love those we do not know, those whom we shall never meet, is so easy a . thing. There is no need to sacrifice anything, and at the same time we are so pleased with ourselves. The conscience is fooled. No. We must love our neighbors those we live with and who are In out way and embarrass us. Leo Tolstoy.

1911, bjr American Press Association. When the steamship Carpatbia. which picked up the survivors of the wrecked Titanic, came into the port of New York she carried two small French boys whom nobody knew. They were cared for by a Miss Hays of New York. The children were mere babies, one four, the other a little over two years of age, and answered to the names Louis and Lolo. They knew no other names. The babies were found wrapped in a blanket in oue of the Titanic's lifeboats. According to the stories told by survivors, a man passed the children into the boat just as It was leaving the side of the ship. Officers stepped forward to prevent his taking a place in the boat; but he declared he did not wish to go, asking that the children be taken. They'proved to be the sons of Mme. Navratll of Nice, France. They had been taken away by their father, who probably perished on the Titanic. .

Donkey In Lion's Skin. A donkey finding a lion's skin put by hunters in the sun to dry. bravely clothed himself with It. Returning speedily to his native village, he sorely frightened his friends and companions, both meD and animals. His appearance making such a great impression he was unable to withhold his great glee and brayed out his heehaws In boisterous guffaws. Forthwith those who had lied now turned upon him and gave him a merciless beating and cudgeling. Later, while moaning and whining In bis lonesome corner, his friend, the fox, gave him this advice: "A fine appearance may disguise, but silly words will disclose a fool."

No Laughtor Party. Great fun is caused by a party given by children to children where the rule of the evening is "no laughter permitted." Every time the rule is transgressed a forfeit must be paid, to be redeemed Inter on. and all games are played with the one idea of provoking laughter. Every child comes in some quaint homemade costume, a prize being given for the funniest, and. instead of the usual decorations, absurd toys are placed on shelves and mantelpieces, such as long bodied dogs and cats.' odd colored birds and monkeys, rag dolls, Teddy bears, etc, all In the funniest possible attitudes.

Slap Jack. This game of cards can be played by not more than ten persons. . The cards are dealt one by one and olaced in a pile, face downward, before each player. Then in turn each one takes a card from the top of his pile and. without looking at It. plays It in the center of the table. When a Jack is thrown on the table all the players try to slap It, and the one who does so first takes all the cards in the center of the table and adds them to his pile. The object is to obtain all the cards, and the one who succeeds in this Is the winner of the game. A Castle In the Air. Featherly Flutter and Fidgety Wing. Twitter and Flitter and Warfclety Slngr Were Ave little birds who lived one spring In a castla in the air. Each was aa happy as queen or kins. Without a care about anything. When the mother bird a worm Would bring Each blrdling- had a share. If a bee came by with a flip and a fling They welcomed him gavty nor feared his sting-. And they cheerQy chirped as they sat to a ring Whne th bee flew hero and there. When their little air castle would sway and swing Then closer together the birds would cling And merrily chirrup a tlng-a-llng-ling For the gladness everywhere. St. Nicholas
