Why the Decrease in Tuber culosis Death Rate? The remarkable decrease in the death rate from tuberculosis is a matter of interest not only to the medical fraternity but to the laity. In the last fifty years there has been a fall of 77.9 per cent in tubercu losis death rate in New York City; in the last eleven years a fall of 51 per cent, and in the calendar year of 1921, a fall of 18.1 per cent. It is most important that the causes re sponsible for such a phenomenon should be discovered in order that health authorities and physicians may know how to combat the dread dis ease. Dr. Haven Emerson, former Health Commissioner of New York City, . and now professor in Cornell Medical ] School, New York, writing in the ? American Review of Tuberculosis of , Baltimore, (June, 1922) seems in- < dined, in considering all the factors j involved in this beneficent change, j to lay most stress on the improved financial and living conditions of the poor including with this, decreased j alcoholism and the lessened expend?- ( tura for alcohol. He says that it is ^ probably not too much to say that ( in the next twenty-five years as great ^ a percentage of reduction in tuber- , culosis can be attained as has been accomplished in the last fifty years, ? by adding to our methods and re sources those which will build up bodily resistance by providing for and following a higher standard of i living, and those which will diminish ( the hazards of occupation and. of oe- s cupancy.

Kathleen Norris, Noted Wril er, Pleads for Enforce ment of 18th Amend-me ment of the 18ht Amendment* In Kathlen Norris, recognized a one of the most popular writers o fiction in the United States, the prc hibition cause has an eloquent chan pion. She has enlisted heart and soi in the campaigns in California to st cure the passage of the state-wide er forcement measure. She is speakin to large audiences, and everywher her messages call forth enthusiast approval. Her success is so marke that the anti-prohibition newspaper are devoting editorial space to ridi cule and condemnation of her ef forts, the highest compliment tha can be paid to her endeavors. In speaking before a large com pany of women recently she said: "I don't speak often. When I d< make a speech I feel that I can bi forgiven on the same grounds tha the woman in the Bible was forgive] -because I love much. Today I an standing here because I love m: country and because after a goo< many years of hard word, poverty discouragement, illness-all the bus iness of wifehood, motherhood, home keeping-because now in these year, I have a little freedom, and like manj of the rest of you I have thought t< myself, especially in my prayers, tha' I should be glad before I died t< hand on to other women some little share of what love of country anc love of God mean to me as a woman We are all apt to look back into his tory and feel that in any of the greal crises we could have shone brilliantly We could have handled the work oi Florence Nightingale-we could have been a noble Joan of Arc-but ii seems to me today that as citizens we are facing an issue as great as any that the world has ever known." The outstanding thought that Mrs. Norris drives home in her addresses is that the women must come to the rescue in this crucial time, and help to hold the law that has done so much to protect their homes and children. Her plea is to the mothers to live up to their responsibilities as loyal citizens in going to the polls and casting their ballots for the en forcement of the prohibition law, and to use their influence with other mothers, and with their husbands and brothers and friends to work and vote :!or men favorable to the 18th Amendment. One of her unique ap peals to the patriotism of her audi ences is made in these words: "If anyone would be willing to tear down an American flag and wrap it around a garbage can, then he may consistently sneer at the non-enforce ment of the 18th Amendment, but American patriots must not permit themselves. to miss this opportunity for a patriotism fully as great as. that offered by service at the front in the World War."
