What Will the Commissioners Do? During the month of May, this year, there were seventeen deaths in Wayne county and tuberculosis in one form or another was responsible for eight. In other words nearly half of the deaths in this county that month can be credited to the dread white plague. This fact is made more impressive when it ts realized that the record for May is not an abnormal one. The proportion of deaths from this disease to the total number of deaths each month is always about the same as it was last May. Dr. Wiley some time ago bluntly and truthfully remarked that more attention was given by the American people to the prevention of cholera than to the saving of human lives. But of late the American people have begun to realize tbs Importance of the conservation of the lives of fnen,",women and children. ; Wayne county must not lag behind in this ?at movement and the plan proposed recently bjLthe Wayne County Anti-Tuberculosis Society ; to build a hospital where white plague cases can rtceive ' treatment should be indorsed by every "person in Wayne county. .. i -'Under a law passed by the last legislature it is optional with boards of county commissioners to make appropriations for such institutions. ;The Wayne county commissioners can render k no greater public benefit than to give financial encouragement to the local hospital project. . y- Dr. S. Edgar Bond, president of the Wayne County Anti-Tuberculosis Society, has emphasized the importance of a tuberculosis hospital from a dollars and cents standpoint. The Palladium desires to emphasize this part of Dr. Bond's statement: "In Richmond there are over five thousand men employed in the factories, and their average condition is not any better, if it is as good, as the men in the factories of larger cities. If three per cent of Richmond's factory men are absolutely afflicted with tuberculosis, one hundred and fifty men are working at a loss to their employers, for, as a local doctor said, a man afflicted with tuberculosis is but half a man. "If each of these men, by his lack of efficiency, loses for his employer five dollars a week, and it is probable that it would amount to that much, it would amount to $750.00 a week, or $39,000.00 a year. At the same time, while this sick man is working he would be likely to infect some- of his fellow workmen and cause them in turn to become inefficient. After these workingmen had been forced to quit their work on account of the progress of the disease in their systems, it would be only a short time in many cases until the supporting of their families would have to be assumed by the county, and the burden would fall on the taxpayers."

THE REFORMERS By Edgar 1 1 Iff. TT IS a strange perversity in human nature that mani

I fests itself in giving alms to be seen of men and per-

I mits its own near kin to go through life stricken with

a heart hunger that starves in a more deadly way

than an empty stomach. Of course there is reputation and unction to one's vanity in risine before one's town's neonle and sub-

5ni scribing a goodly sum for far off missions, j W- & or for the evangelical dry cleaning of a lot of those awful idol worshipers in Tirabuc-

too, ana irom a Dusiness point of view there isn't a cent of profit in doing good in secret and letting not your left hand

know what your right hand is doing. The moral perversity of it is that we pride ourselves npon our public charities and our brass band religions. Our societies dole out their pittances and present to the

world a cold statistical Christ. We send Bibles to the "heathen" all ready grown aged and gray in ways of peace and pleasantness and truth and honesty. We tickle ourselves with the strutting belief that we are the head and front of great reforms and world-wide movements, and yet we slam doors in anger, browbeat and half starve our servants, goad and overload horses, growl like bears over our breakfasts, cheat one another in business, flog children for telling lies to the biggest liars on earth, and hang the family whip over the door beside the motto, "God Bless Our Home." And more. While we waft our messages of love on snowy white wings to the heathens, we permit the aged and young to die In poverty and misery within a stone's throw from our sanctimonious door-steps. The deeper perversity Is that we still cling to the ancient crookedness of the Pharisee who loved to enlarge the borders of his garments while he narrowed the ways of pleasure and profit for the poor. And so there are more sins committed, more errors made, more hearts broken, more misery spread under the guise of charity and reform than in any other way. Not all reformers are humbugs. They are not all insincere, cruel and foolish, but. take them as a pack and parcel, they are a bad lot, and this already over-reformed world could well spare them. In most cases the reformer seeks notoriety and acts through vain glory. Listen to the religious reformer shout; hear the moral reformer thunder; see the political reformer swell and shout. In local reformers, especially when the unco good attempt to make their neighbors over again upon a narrow guage plan, the air swarms with busy bodies and meddlesome Matties. Like the old maids who complained to the squire of boys bathing near their house, and then confessing that the bathers were so far away that

the Rev. Edward Casaubon, who was absorbed in reform

ing the church ritual that he knew and felt no natural emotions of love and tenderness? You know the result. It was written that "man shall not live by bread alone." Why was woman left out of this scriptual admonition? You may sound the praises of Bome public woman from Dan to Bersheba, and in the streets of Gath and Askalon, and trumpet her speeches to the ends of earth, and yet she may not be doing as much good as some poor, obscure mother who is struggling to keep her little brood under ner wing that the boys and girls may grow up to be self-supporting men and women. This mother knows nothing of the "Pllchin" schools, where the rule Is never to give children what they want and make them take what they don't want. They want love and they get it; they don't want the whip and they don't get it. No man ever chastised this Imbecile education better than Dicken3 in his schools of "Doctor Blimber," "Squeers" and "Mrs. Pllchin." We sing no hymns that Susannah Wesley wrote, we read no sermons she preached, yet the influence of this woman who reared and educated her large family "by hand," as "Joe Galgary" said, and did it because it was the duty lying nearest her, can never be measured. Brass band and megapnone reformers no doubt produce sensitive nerves, city noises are no lounder than they ever were but they seem louder and more disagree

able because of our supersensitiveness. And up comes a reform movement to stop church bells ringing, whistles blowing and the cries of the costermonger. Max Nordau in his book on "Degeneration" cites this cry for the reform of noises as the sign of degeneration. In Berlin the recurrent nerve of dogs is removed so that they can not bark and rasp people's nerves. He speaks of a man at a window who became so annoyed by the whistling of a merry butcher's-boy who frequently passed that he finally got a gun and shot the innocent youth. The tenison of our insane reform ideas, our modern belief that "knocking" is a virtue, acts directly upon the nerves and destroys the calm equilibrium which made our pioneer- fathers men of patience, forebearance, fortitude and manly strength. In the breaking down of this equilibrium, this mental, moral and physical poise, may finally be found the cause of a large proportion of modern suicides, and perhaps the real physician (not the quack doctor) could do no greater work in his efforts to benefit humanity than by educating the public upon these lines. Mental worry is a sin of the age. Perfect health means control over one's self. Neither drugs nor liquors help a little bit. It is the will to shut out, the will to forget, the will to be cheerful that helps. Only those who have a will are truly happy. Going heavenward upon the wings of high emotional reforms, flying to pieces over rasping sounds, losing selfcontrol through worrying about other people's affairs, imagining that you are responsible for your neighbor's sins and that you are to pray without ceasing for the enemy who gave you some well merited "back talk" these all mean degeneration in yourself, misery to those who have to live with you, and a wish on the part of your companions that a first class funeral might occur in which you could not play the role of the chief mourner, but be the one for the monument and the epitaph.

the result of the analysis shown. "Inspector Flook examines these reports and notices where the samples are marked 'illegal,' which would be either in the presence of starch in the ice cream or a lack of butter fat. Upon the first offense the dealer or manufacturer is notified, ordered to appear

at police headquarters and there given a lecture and advise! by Inspector Flook. If, upon a second offense, in j the inspector's opinion, the offense is j not worthy of prosecution, no affidavit

is filed. "But in Thistlethwaite's case there are at least three counts against him. That is the reason he has no kick coming. Inspector Flook called his attention to the fact that his ice cream did not contain sufficient butter fat, but the food commissioner's report shows that he continued to violate this requirement and Mr. Flook began action. The case Is the same with Mr. Fertig, manager of the Richmond Ice Cream company, which sells to Thistlethwaite's three stores. "Here is an example. One of those illegal cases reported was that of the Greek Candy company and the report

showed that that company's ice cream

contains adulterated starch. The report also shows that the Greek Candy company's ice cream qualifies above standard. The company asked Mr. Flook to send samples of their ice cream to the state chemist so the proprietors could learn the exact analysis of tneir article. Surely Mr. Thistlethwaite would not expect the inspector to prosecute in that case."

Have "written strange defeatures" there; And Time with heaviest hand of all. Like that fierce writing on the wall, Hath stamped sad dates he can't recall; And error gliding worst designs Like speckled snake that strays and shines Betrays his bath by crooked lines; And vice hath left his ugly blot, And good resolves, a moment hot, Fairly begun but finished not; And fruitless, late remorse doth trace Like Hebrew lore, a backward pace Her Irrecoverable race. Disjointed numbers, sense unknit. Huge reams of folly, shreds of wit, Compose the mingled mass of it. My scalded eyes no longer brook Upon this ink blurred thing to look; Go, shut the leaves, and clasp the book. Charles Lamb.
