On account of the present agitation concerning the possible danger and detriment of locating a tuberculosis I sanatorium or camp near an inhabit I ed cwelllng or valuable property, the National Association for the Study I and Prevention of Tuberculosis issue? I a statement today, which shov a that I In the great majorlay of cases*such an Institution has a beneficial effect, not I inly upon the :iale of property, but I also upon the health of the commu- 1 nlt> In a recent Investigation conducted by the National Association, 37 lnsti-1 utlons. located In 32 differena States in all pr.rta of tie country were con-1 sldered. According to information re- I cerved from sanatorium superintend-1 erfu, real estate dealers, and various disinterested parties, t.7.5 per cent of these tuberculosis sanatoria have I had a favorable Influence upon sur t oundlng property, and have been a benefit If the community In which I they wer*? located. In the case of 23, or 62.2 per cent, of the Institutions, the presence of ahe sanatorium helped to increase the as? sessed valuation of surrounding prep* I erty. In inly one Instance has prop erty decreased In value, and there it was due to Ignorance of the facts. In I 22 out of the 37 cases, the pest nee of a sanatorium has even been help ful In the recent sale of land, and In I only four places has any detrimental j effect on sales been shown. In 51.3 I per cent, of the cases, residents have been attracted to the community by the sanatorium, and in only three lo-1 calltles have residents been repelled, j Some examples show the Increase In the vatue of surrounding property. In the vicinity of a sanatorium in I Portland, Oregon, land has more than doubled la value In three years, and j la In demand cloee to the sanatorium. I At Alken. S. C. property in the nlegh- I bor hood of the local sanatorium has Increased 400 per cent, since the in? stitution was built. At Hebron. Maine, surrounding property has Increased 20 per cent, as a direct result of the presence of a tuberculosis sanator? ium. A similar effect upon land values has taken place in other towns, such as Luzerne, Fa.; Liberty, N. Y., Saranac Lake, N. Y.; Plttsford, Vc; Mt. Vernon. Mo., and Silver City. N. M. At Asheville, N. C, vacant lot! near one of the sanatoria in that city, sell at four times their price In 1 $?00 and those farther from the Institu? tion but nearer the city are less val? uable. Not a single Instance was re? ported where the presence of a tuber? culosis sanatorium, camp, or dispen? sary In a large city has had a .letrl mental effect on the value of sur? rounding property. The courts of Massachusetts, Koftfl Carolina and Virginia have de.-?V I that a tuberculosis sanatorium Is not a menace to the health of a commu? nity, and that it does not decreas in, value of U nd In its immediate Heigh borhood. Th. pretence of a tuberculosis -an gtortnm hai been ?>> benefll also m ifv farstleii la its vtelalty from tin rk tbat It affordi 11 market fOT tttolr |U?0 dnoe, and gives more work to the un emioyed.

Unwritten English. "Did you know that there is at least one sentence in English that can be spoken, but that is Impossible to write," said a University of Pennsyl? vania senior. "Yes, It's correct Eng? lish, I suppose, and then, again, it isn't. Here is the sentence, although I swear I don't know how yob are go? ing to write It: 'There are three twos in the English language.' You see if you spell two t-w-o, the sentence is Incorrect, as it Is If you spell it either ?too' or 'to.' Catch the point? Really It Is Incorrect to say it, although it certainly should be possible to express the thought. This thing has got me going, and it simply goes to show what a mess the English language is. There certainly is a word 'two' and a word 'too' and another 'to' and they are all three pronounced alike?two. too, or to?which makes It correct to say "There are three twos,' or 'three toos,' or three 'tos,' in the English language. But what's the use? I know a whole bunch of awfully nice fellows who are slowly going crazy out in my fraternity house at the uni Veralty trying to figure this thing out. As far as my intellect can grasp the matter it is impossible to say correct? ly that 'there are three "twos" in the English language.'

The Evening Post suggested many months ago that the port of Charles? ton offered rare facilities to the gov? ernment for the swift dispatch of mail to the canal zone, and urged that the routing of mails for the zone through this port be taken up for practical consideration by the federal authori? ties. There is reason to believe that the suggestion has met with favorable consideration and that the govern? ment will, before very long, establish a mall service between Charleston and Colon, with sailings probably once a week. As President Taft has said?and has proved in his own movements?Charleston is the "most convenient port" for Panama, and it is impossible that the facilities of such a port for fast forwarding of mail and passengers should be ne? glected entirely by the government, which such extensive interests in the Isthmus of Panama. If the mail service is established through Charleston, as we believe it will be there will be presented to the business community of South Carolina and of all the adjacent regions an op? portunity for development of com? merce with Central and South Ameri? ca that should be seized upon eagerly and made the most of. The calling of a steamship, at the port of Charleston for mail will, in any event, be of bene? fit to the government, but It will be of little benefit to anybody else unless? advantage Is taken of the communi? cation it gives with the canal zone and the neighboring countries of Central and South America to work out trade possibilities that are so rich in prom~ ise to the enterprising business man. At the American consul at Maracaibo, Venezuela, wrote In a letter to the Charleston Chamber of Commerce the other day, "what New York is for the North, Charlesaon should be for the Scuth. Your trade with the Central American republics you should try to gain. It is a rich and open field." It Is practically an unexplored field to the manufacturers and merchants of the South, largely, no doubt, because of the lack of communication that has hitherto been the rule. But that there are tremendous possibilities in it is patent enough and, if the oppor? tunity is offered to our people to de? velop them, we can not believe that they will neglect to Improve it. The establishment of a line of communication between Charleston and Colon is not only the opening of the canal zone and the immediate re region about it to the business of this section, but the opening as well of a short line to the great countries on the western coast of South America. The Panama railroad, from Colon to Panama, a short stretch of about twenty-five miles, brings the west coast of South America within easy reach, avoiding the long voyage around Cape Horn. , Goods might be shipped from Charleston to Santiago de Chile, for example, by way of Co? lon and the Panama railroad, being, perhaps, only about ten days In tran? sit. Shipments might be made, more? over, to the Pacific ports of the Uni? ted States from the cotton mills in South Carolina serving the Oriental trade in almost as good time as they now make by rail transportation across the continent. Even as long ago as the days of the gold craze in Caliiornla, the Isthmus of Panama was a favorite route for argonauts from the eastern coast going to San Francisco, and it is a legitimate trade route today, even in the face of the splendid railroad service across th? continent. There are vast possibilities for the business enterprise of this section in the establishment of a line of commu? nication with Panama, and it is high? ly probable that the merchants and manufacturers of the region for which Charleston is the natural port to foreign parts are to have an oppor- I tunlty presented to them which they will be dull, indeed, if they fail to utilize to the very largest advantage ?Charleston Post.
