Restricting Immigration

Dr. T. Henry Davis, for many years president

of the state board of health, believes in augment

ing the cabinet to include a member who would

devote his time to the important problem of na

tional health. One of the important questions which the new cabinet officer would have to deal with in the near future would be the restriction of immigration to safeguard this country from

the influx of physically disabled and mentally deficient immigrants after the European war is history.

There is no gainsaying that close scrutiny of

all applicants desiring entrance into the United States after the war is necessary. Whether the country is far enough along in its appreciation of preventive medicine and hygiene to see the necessity of adding another member to the cabinet to look after this work, is something on which we cannot pass. We do believe that Dr. Davis is not visionary in advocating.the step. The question of public health is receiving more and more attention from the masses, and the chances are that before another decade is passed, the wish of Dr. Davis will see fulfillment.

Helping the Syrians On December 20, the collier Caesar will leave New York for Beirut, Syria, carrying a cargo of supplies for the war sufferers in Syria. Her cargo is valued at $250,000, and the money to buy the provisions came from Americans. It is gratifying to note that now and then a vessel leaves New York carrying supplies other than those that kill and maim men and leave women widows, and children orphans. AH of us believe that if America could have refrained from sending munitions of war during this conflict and could have restricted her mission to sending relief to war sufferers, our services to humanity would have been nobler and more enduring. As it is, we occupy a peculiar position. The

supporters of both belligerents hold bazaars and engage in other schemes to raise relief for the innocent sufferers of the war, and our factories daily turn out enough instruments of destruction to set at naught in thirty minutes of fighting all the good we hope to accomplish with the gifts of mercy we send across the water. We hope our feeble attempts at charity, in the estimation of the world, will outbalance the hatred engendered by our wholesale manufacture of guns and shrapnel shells.

The Death Toll of Tuberculosis According to statistics gathered by the United States Census Department, tuberculosis has the distinction of causing more deaths annually than any other form of bodily disease, except heart disease. Richard C. Lappin, chief statistician for vital statistics, finds that -nearly one-third of the 909,155 deaths reported for that year in the "registration area," which contained approximately 67 per cent of the population of the entire United States, were due to three causes heart diseases, tuberculosis, and pneumonia and nearly two-thirds were charged to twelve causes the three just named, together with-Bright's disease and nephritis, cancer, apoplexy,, diarrhea and enteritis, arterial diseases, diabetes, influenza, diphtheria, and typhoid fever. The deaths from heart diseases (organic diseases of the' heart and endocarditis) in the registration area in 1915 numbered 105,200, or 156.2 per 100,000 population. The death rate from this cause shows a marked increase as compared with 1900, when it was only 123.1 per 100,000. The increase has not been continuous, the rate having fluctuated from year to year. Tuberculosis in its various forms claimed 98,194 victims in 1915, of whom 85,993 died from tuberculosis of the lungs. The progress made in

the prevention of this dreaded malady during recent years has been most gratifying. In only a little more than a decade, from 1904 to 1915, the death rate from tuberculosis in all its forms fell from 200.7 to 145.8 per 100,000, the decline being continuous from year to year. .This is a drop of more than 25 per cent. Before 1904 the rate had fluctuated, starting at 201.9 in 1900. Even yet, however, tuberculosis has the unenviable distinction of causing more deaths annually than any other form of bodily illness except heart diseases and about 46 per cent more than all external caus

es accidents, homicides, and suicides

bined.

The Gold of the Gods , - .... TKr A f lim- R P aaxra (A Mystery of the Incas Solved by Dy nrtllUr D. IVteVC Craig Kennedy, Scientific Detective)

I looked carefully as he traced out something on the queer negative. On it. It was easily possible, following his guidnnce, to read the words inscribed on the sheet of paper inside. So admirably defined were all the details : that even the gum on the envelope and the edges of the sheet of paper . inside the envelope could be distinguished. "It seems incredible," I exclaimed, scarcely believing what I actually saw. "It is almost like second sight." Kennedy smiled. "Any letter wrlt- , ten with Ink having a mineral base can be radiographed," he added. "Even ' when the sheet Is folded in the usual way, it is possible, by taking a radioi graph, as I have done, Bjereoscopical- : ly. Then every detail can be seen 1 standing out in relief. Besides, it can be greatly magnified, which aids in deciphering it if it is indistinct or ' Jumbled up. Some of it looks like mirror-writing. Ah," he continued, "here's something interesting." Together we managed to trace out the contents of several paragraphs ; laboriously, the gist of which I give 1 here: "Lima, Peru. "Dear Whitney Matters are progressing very favorably, consider- ! ing the stoppage of business due to the war. I am doing everything in my power to conserve our Interests, and now and then, owing to the scarcity of money, am able to pick up a concession cheaply, which will be of Im- , mense value to us later. "However, it is not so much of busi- ; ness that I wish to write you at the I present time. You know that my I friend Senora de Moche, with her son, ! Alfonso, Is at present in New York. Doubtless she has already called on i you and tried to interest you in her own properties here. I need not advise you to be very careful In dealing with her. "The other day I heard a rumor that may prove interesting to you, regarding Norton and his work here on , his last trip. As we know, he has succeeded in finding and getting out of the country an Inca dagger which, I believe, bears a very important in-

: scriptlon. I do not know anything defli nite about it, as these people are very 1 reticent. But no doubt he has told I ydu all about it by this time. If it 1 should prove of value, I depend on

you to let me know, so that I may act at this end accordingly. "What I am getting at is this: I understand that from rumors and remarks of the Senora she believes that Norton took an unfair advantage during her absence. What the Inscription is I don't know, but from the way these people down here act one would think that they all had a proprietary interest in the relic. What it is all about I don't know. But you will find the Senora both a keen business woman and an accomplished antiquarian if you have not already discovered it. "In regard to Lockwood and Mendoza, if we can get them in on our side, it ought to prove a winning combination. There are stories here of how de Moche has been playing on Mendoza's passions she's thoroughly unscrupulous and Don Luis is somewhat of a Don Juan. I write this to put you on guard. Her son, Alfonso, whom you perhaps have met also, is another type, though I have heard it eaid that he laid siege to Inez Mendoza in the hope of becoming allied with one of the oldest families.

SUSTAINS DEMURRER

Special Judge A. C. Lindemuth in circuit court today sustained the demurrer to the complaint in thesuit of Blanch. A. Howell against Margaret Calkins, New. Paris, O., to gain possession of Elizabeth Carf, nine years old. The suit will be dropped unless an amended complaint is presented.

THE MILLER'S WIFE Once upon a time there lived a poor miller and his wife on the bank of a river, which ran through the woods. They were very poor and the wife was always complaining and wishing for a palace and riches. "Good wife," said her husband, "you better be satisfied with our little mill or you may get your wish

some day and find you are better off

in the mill than in a palace. But the wife only laughed to scorn

such foolishness and kept on fretting

and wishing for a palace to live in.

One day when 6he was washing her clothespin the river and wishing with

every rub she gave that she could be

rich, a big fish poked its head out of

the water and said, "I will grant your wish, my good woman, on one condi tion." The miller's wife was surprised, but as she had often heard of fairies in that part of the country she thought the fish might be one in disguise, so she said, "I will do anything you ask if only you will give me a palace to live in and great riches." "Very well," said the fish, "if you will promise to come here every day and bring me a pearl from your necklace which you will find at the palace when you get there I will grant your wish." "Oh! I will promise you that," said the wife. "I will give you the whole necklace, for no doubt I shall have many." "No, that will not do," said tha fish; "you must bring me one pearl each day." "Very-well," said the wife, "I will promise. Now give me my wish. "Close your eyes and turn around three times," said the fish. So the miller's wife closed her eyes and turned about three times, and when she stopped and opened her eyes the mill had disappeared and in its place stood a beautiful palace. The Wife ran into the palace and found everything she had wished for beautiful clothes and jewels and plenty of servants to wait on her. Each day she rode out in a handsome carriage drawn by four black horses and thought she had all she ever could want, but the miller was

not as happy as his wife, and wished for his mill and something to do besides ride and wear good clothes. Every day the wife went to the river, for that was still there, and gave the fish, which never failed to appear, the : pearl she had promised from her necklace. Now it happened that the pearl necklace was the only one of the kind she found among the jewels, and after throwing ten of the beautiful pearls into the river for the fish to swallow the .wife thought one morning she would not give it any more. "That pearl necklace is the most beautiful of all the jewels I possess," she told her husband. "I shall give him white beans after this and keep the rest of my beautiful pearls." The big fish swallowed the white bean the next day and nothing happened, so the wife said: "There, I

knew it would do as well to feed that fish a bean ; it never will know the difference and I shall not bother after this to go myself. I will send one of the servants to throw the bean every day. I cannot bother with a fish and a bean. I am too rich." So the next day she sent a servant and thought no more about her promise to the fish. One day when the wife sat before her mirror trying on all her jewels 6he heard a strange sound in the hall. "Flap, flap, flap," It sounded, all the time coming nearer and nearer. When she turned around there was the big fish right at her door. "I have come for my pearl; you have not kept your promise," it said. "Go away, you dreadful creature," said the wife. "How dare you come into my palace!" "You should have kept your promise

and fed me the pearl each day," said the fish. "I shall not give you another pearl from my beautiful necklace," said the woman; "I want it myself." "Very well, then; I will follow you about everywhere you go," said the fish, and it jumped up on the chair beside her. Every time the wife went riding in her beautiful carriage the fish flopped after her and jumped in beside her. Once she threw it out, but when it struck the ground It bounded back and try as she would, she could not be rid of it. All the servants laughed at their richly dressed mistress with a fish flopping along beside her everywhere she went, until the poor wife was beside herself with anger, and one day in desperation - she threw the pearl necklace at the fish, saying, as she did so: "Take the pearls you want so much. I would rather be a poor miller's wife again than be bothered with you, if that is the price of riches."

Up jumped the fish and whirled

about three times, which made the miller's wife so dizzy she closed her eyes, and when she opened them again she was by the river washing clothes, and there was the mill on the bank of the river, just as it wwas before she had wished for the palace. "After all, I guess I am better off in the mill," she said. "I have nothing to worry about. I'll wish for contentment after this." So as she rubbed her clothes she said: "I'll never make another wish, Or listen to a silly fish, I'd rather have a peaceful life; Riches brought me only strife."
