THE TUBERCULOSIS PATIENT AF-
TER SANATORIUM TREATMENT.
PenusyU ania is one of the state
that have made considerable advance
In the institutional treatment and
after-care of tuberculous [taiients. In
addition to a number of state sana-
torium*. there arc distributed
throughout ttie state some one hui.-
dred anil fifteen tuberculosis dispen-
saries. The health commissioner of
that state. l>r Samuel O. Dixon, has
prepared instructions to aid physi-
cians and nurses in charge of these
dispensaries in systematically follow-
ing up these patients after they lii1,1
left the sanatoriums. This is done
principally bv the trained nurses
connected with the dispensaries. 1 n-
der these instructions, the nurse in
her visits to these patients is requir-
ed to note details of their nhvslcil
condition, not of course making such

patients leave the institutions be-
fore they are cured. This is true as
regards private sanatoriums. hut es-
pecially of the state or municipal in-
stitutions, where there is such a large
demand for admission, making it seem
almost necessary to limit the time the
patients may remain In such institu-
tions. Hence It is most wise, if per-
manent results are to follow, that
attention be given to the patients af-
ter they leave the Institutions, and
this not alone for the individual pa-
tient's good, but that be may not be-
come a source of Infection to his

as of great Importance, and the sys-
tem followed In Pennsylvania offers
valuable suggestions that might

CRIME IN THE NORTH.
(San Antonio lJght.)
For years it has been the sneer of
the New York roan that Chicago was
not a city in all that the word Im-
plied. He meant that it was not on a
par with New York in many things.
It shows at present a fair prospect of
catching up The police records of
Chicago these days are showing as
many brutal mnrders is New York
ever tallied in its roughest days. Chi-
cago, in brief, Is developing the ele-
ment that gave birth to the murder-
ous "gangs'" of N>w York.
There are in the Chicago jail at
the present time thirty-four murder-
ers awaiting trial. There are three
murderers who have been tried. Two
of them were sentenced to the peni-
tentlar), one to be hanged The man
who was to have been hanged lias

FOURTH S LONG DEATH ROLL
Many Lives Saved by Safe and Sane
Observance.
J. P. Morgan is now a Bed Eagle.
The Emperor of Germany has made
him one. in returne for a valued pres-
ent made by Morgan to the Emperor
The caricaturists have always re-
presented the big financier as having
a beak, but there has been left to the
reader of the pictures the option of
making out whether It was the beak
of an eagle or of a buz*!ird. If the
German eagle is a real eagle, and not
a Mexican kind of eagle, the insignia
is properly suggestive, as intended
by the creator of the order But lots
of folks in this country will hang to
the buzzard Interpretation of that
beak.
The only complaint liearu from the
visiting commercial pccitttrles Is
that the hydrant water Is most too
muddy for satisfactory bat! lug. But
these gentlemen, who ha\e now been
snown the big Alteration plant almost
completed, are not kicking much.
They realize that mud:*y water means
rains received, and that rains re-
ceived means prosperity foi the coun-
try In which they sojourn. Some of
them can appreciate what a privilege
it la to get a sight of muddy water
caused by heavy rains. When they
come next time, their baths will be
taken In sparkling fluid so clear that
the addition of a little sweetening
would give authority for boast that
they had bathed In champagne.
A lot of ladles have requested Gov-
ernor Colquitt to not make antl-pro-
hibltion speeches In the present cam-
paign. Very naturally, the Governor
does not find where he can accomo-
date the petitioners.' The Governor
ran a flat-footed hace on the exact
grounds represented in the present
campaign, and he declared himself
unequivocally on the subject, furth-
ermore, he announced that he would
use every endeavor to defeat prohibi-
tion. He was elected on that ticket
and it is misapplied energy and in-
appropriate for the pros to ask him to
act otherwise than he is doing. The
Governor's position Is wholly con-
sistent. .
The decision in the Alaska coal
cases was a victory for the publicists.
(New York Tribune.)
The announcement of the health
department that It will make no new
supply of anti-tetanus serum this
year, although its staff of physicians
will be ready to serve on the Fourth
of July, is significant and gratifying
It indicates the extent to which the
reform of the national holiday in the
direction of sanity, decency and hu-
inaulty has already proceeded and It
suggests a reasonable hope that ig a
few more years the anniversary may-
be generally celebrated in a manner
becoming to a civilized land.
The demaud for a "safe and sane'
celebration has been heard more or
less ever since the great slaughter
year of liMKl, when no fewer than
4 66 lives were lost in Fourth of July
festivities, a large proportion of
them through the agonizing ravages
of tetanus: but little was really ef-
fected until a year ago. Then, be-
cause the roll of deaths in 1909 had
shown a tendency to return to the
high water mark ot various
communities enacted stringent ordi-
nances against murderous methods ot
celebration. The result was encour-
aging. The number of deaths and of
injuries declined nearly 50 per cent,
to the lowest point since statistics
of them had been made aud kept,
and in some populowf cities which
had formerly suffered much, such
as Washington and Cleveland, seri-
ous accidents and Injuries were en-
tirely avoided. The decline in the
country at lar^e fro # 215 deaths and
6,307 injuries In 1909 to 131 and
2,02* respectively In 1910 was elo-
quent at once of the magnitude of
the evil and of the possibility of
greatly abating It.
It is well to recall the record, "lest
we forget," and in order'by all means
to urge on the movement for human-
ity. In the eight years of record
keeping, from 1903 to 1910, 110 fewer
than 1,662 lives were lost through
Fourth of July celebrations, of which
a large majority, 968, were lost
through tetanus. That meant an av-
erage of 121 deaths from ^tetanus a
year. In the same years 35,620 per-
sons were seriously Injured In such
accidents, many of them losing their
eyes, hands, arms, legs or ears. That
meant a toll of 5,452 victims a year
to the demands of imagined "patriot-
ism." It was a gratifying achieve-
ment to reduce those figures as much
as was done last year. But even then
67 deaths from Fourth of July tetan-
us were a grave reproach. What has
been done Is to be accepted with
gratitude, but It should be regarded
chiefly as an irresistible incentive to
proceed with the good work until
that deadly malady has been made
to vanish from the earth. Only, the
prophylactic for it is not to bo found
In antitoxin serums but in humane
and rational ordinances resolutely en-
forced.

Articles Made From Paper.
Paper is said...to be made fn»%
barley, oats, rica.lfndian corn, peaa,
beans, alfalfa, rami«i, pine needles, to-
bacco and cora stalks, lichens, tltjfc
leaves and barks jf trees, potatpefo
and other equally " strange things,
wliile llneu is the ideal material.
While paper can be made from
nearly anything, nearly anything can
be made from paper With compress-
ed paper are made wheels, rails, can-
non, horseshoes, polishers for rems,
bicycles and asphalted tube for gas
or electric wires. With wood pulp
and zinc sulphate there has been at»
attempt to make bricks for paving,
roofing, tile and water pipes.
Telegraph poles made of rolled
sheets of paper are shallow, lighter
then wood, and resist the weather
well.
It Is said that in Japan clothing,
window frames, lanterns, umbrellas,
handkerchiefs, artificial leather, etc ,
are made from paper, while in Ameri-
ca coffins, barrels, vases and milk
bottles are made from this handy ma-
terial. Straw hats may now be
bought into which not the least par
ticle of straw enters, but are made of
narrow paper strips, dyed yellow.
A patent has been obtained for a
paper thread to be used In sewing
shoes, and artificial silk Is now made
on a basis of paper pulp.
The uses to which paper may be
put are varied and extensive. It Is
used to make imitation porcelain, for
bullets, shoes, billiard table cloth,
sails .for boats, boards for building,
impermeable bags for cement and
other powdered substances, boats, and
vessels to hold water. A paper stove
has even been made, while houses
have*been built of naper. and In Nor
way, It is said, there is a church
holding 1,000 people built entirely of
paper, even to the belfry.
Swiss Funeral Customs.
Swiss funeral customs are most
peculiar. At the death of a person
the family Inserts a formal, black-
ed«-ed (announcement In the papers
asking for sympathy, and stating that
"the mourning urn" will be exhibited
during certain hours on a special day.
In front of the house where the per-
son died there is placed a little black
table covered with a black cloth, on
which stands a black jar. into this
the freinds and acquaintances of the
family drop little black-margined
visiting cards, sometimes with a few-
words of sympathy ten them. The urn
is put on the tatno the day of the
funeral. Only m% ever go to the
churchyard, and they generally fol-
low the hearse on {foot.

In the boss's voice. Somebody might

Mr. Vining. " He said they were his
