Nevada, I'tali, Wyoming t^nd Mls t slsslppl are the only states in the United States which have made no hospital or sanatorium provision for consumptive!*. nays the National As sociation for the Study and Preven tion of Tuberculoids in a hulletin , Issue.d today. At the name time the Avso 'iation asserts that, while there . urc beds for t u 1 >?* rr ? n 1 ok Ih pa tients iii other states, this number is very inadequate, hardly more thaii one for every flight or ten needy .patients being provided. Some of : In- states .have less than Ij 0 beds, and in not a single one is there a sufficient number available. The bulletin points that, although 'he death rate from tuberculosis has declined steadily for t'he last twen ty-five years, a marked increase in hospital and sanatorium beds must be made before a rate of even 4 of death per 1.000 population can be reached. At the present time t he cit\ death rates in this country range from eight or nine per 1,000 jlivitif; to as high as or 4n, with the a\erage around 1 .r? or 10. ac cording to the latest reports of the Hureau of the Census. The National Association esti mates ihat there are over a million consumptives in the I'nited States, of whom, probably at least one-third are unable to provide for themselves t ItV necessary treatment a* home. Most of these cases are a menace to the health of their families and associates, and should be in special hospitals. At the present time, how ever. even if every case were known, it would not be possible to provide accomodations for more than one in efght or ten. The removal of these foci of infection demands more and better hospital and sana torium provision. OWK NO MAN ANVTHlVCi. (Jreenwoood Journal. We have just read an editorial in a denominational paper in which the suggestion Is made that ii would be a good thing for preachers all over the country to preach a ser mon on the above text, which the writer of said editorial confesses Is a very much neglected one. We quite agree with him; for if there is any one thing that is sorely and sadly needed it is the quickening of the consciences of the people on the matter of debt pay ing There is need for press and pulpit to keep on hammering at the , deadbcats all over 'he country; ? for the fellow who will not pay his debts Is nothing more nor less than a dead beat . The editorial in question closes is follows: "Right here it might not be amiss to say that the man who is slow pay is half brother to the man who doesn't pijy at all For example, if he is expected to pay e\er\ month he gets and keeps a month behind, he a^vays has money that belongs to another man, he is living on somebody else He will be perpetually in debt and a perpet ual sinner No man has a right to in debt without juuiii ranee of be ing able to pay. Thoughtlessness is not an excuse for this sin. but an aggravation of it. It doesn't justi fy one's conduct to -sh.v* '1 just ne glected it 1 Owe no mau anything save to |o\e ^another. and love tx much easier where ther's no other debt."
