This s all well, but Dr. Bdward O. Otis of Tufts medical college would have us el assall the causes of infection He recommends that prevention of infec- tion and care of patients be made a part of the course of study in all pub- lic schools, that physicians be com- pelled to report every case of tuber- culosis and that home inspection, gen- eral supervision and disinfection cf the home after death of a patient shall be obligatory on boards of health. Sanitation of schools, workshops, stozes and offices must be Insisted up- on. Tuberculous milk must be guard- «d4 against. Above all, anyone who nas the least reason to suspect infection whould seek compstent medical advice forthwith, “Good climate will not counteract bed living,” says Dr. Otis. “Any eli- mate where the air is pure and fres from dust and where there is protec~ tion from high winds is favorable for the treatment of tuberculosis.” “This Is good advice, If the wasts of human life because of this dis is $330,000,000 a year, as estimated, 1* i3 time every plan for its eradication should be put in operation as speedfly as possible. H % B T LT TTTTI LT PP P TP THE BANK GQUARANTY LAW. The Oklahoma hank guaranty Ifw. which Colonel Bryan would have had sdopted, untested by the people of the whole eountry, is not working well. The fallure of a bank there has led to egome profanity in high places and considerable distrust everywhere, Governor Haskell is quoted as say- ifog that there will be no further trouble if ‘no more of the d—-d national banks fall” The governor's profanity is entirely beside the ques- tlon. What Oklahoma needs most of all is a financial system that be- gets confidence Instead of distrust: which places honesty above ‘“wild- catting” in the management of finan- cial institutions, which puts the bur- den of their own mistakes on the loosely managed banks and does not tax sound banking to make up deficits caused by unsound banking. Commenting upon the recent practi- cal working of the law, the Kansas City Journal says: *“This is a critical period in the history of the new state. Capital should be attracted by every nossible legitimate means, and there is nothing at which - capital looks eskance more quickly than the fan- tastic financial legislative mnostrums fished out of the ash heaps of popu- lism and failure. One bank -is not made sound by the soundness of an- other, as a general proposition. One banker is not made a safe custodian pf anybody’'s money merely because the law says that If he proves unsafe, the safe, honest, sane and successful banker will make restitution of the money lost by the unsafety, the un- wisdom, the disaster and possibly the dishonesty of the banker who fails, How many more banks must fail in Oklahoma before this simple, self- evident truth is realized and acted upon?” MULE PENS CLEANER THAN PRISON PENS. This is the inspectors’ condemna- tion of the Atlanta stockade in which prisoners are kept. The report says that the jurors who inspected the stockade found the stench so foul that the members were forced to wrap handkerchiefs around their faces to endure the trip, and that some of them were made sick by the vile odors. The report concluded by stating that the stables in which the mules were kept were much more habitable than the prison. In the negroes’ quarters were found nearly two hundred prisoners, shack- led so that they could neither bathe s S The Cireulation of sign of improvement in this picture. Man's inbumanity to man still makes countless thousands mourn. WHAT A TREE DOCTOR DID. The movement to rejuvenate the apple orchards of New England 18 backed by men of experience aud faith, men who know standard fruit when they see §t. The New England apple barrel has grown into a speckl+d and dishonest thing. A Boston man, speaking as a buyer, says: “For severa] years I have been bun- coed with New England apples. One fall I purchased a supply from a peor- sonal friend in Maine, and got a pretiy poor grade of cider apples. The nest vear I bought of a boyhood friend who had the best apple farm in the town I originated in, and I got a som what poorer grade of cider apples. The next year I bought apples of a Faneuil Hall market dealer, from a Maine orchard that he knew all about and I got a grade of cider apples in- ferior to either of the others, packeid in the traditiopal manner, with a few good ones on top and the center made up from the lot that had been re- Jected as too bad to feed to the hogs.” And this same writer tells & story of an apple tree doctor who looked over a New England orchard of {90 trees which had been neglected ani gave the owner an estimate of t necessity for starting it in the rig' way again. The owner demurred a‘ the price, and it was finally agreel that the tree man should doctor the decadent orchard at his own expensc and that he should have all of ihe first crop after treatment and one-ha's of each of the mext two crops. This year the crop belonged to the doctor, and he marketed 1,000 barrels of as fine apples as ever were offered by the Faneu!l Hall dealers, and had beside: a large quantity of secomds, and sup- plied the owner of the orchard and everybody connected with the tree doc- tor’s establishment with all the apples they wanted, For these apples tns tree man received a sum equal t> more than three times the fee he pro- posed to charge the owner for putting the orchard in condition and he has In prospect the half share of the crops of 1910 and 1911.” 3 This makes it appear that the New England Yankee is losing his shrewd- ness, and if the syndicates organizing to buy up orchard lands at low prices succeed, many of them will lose farms that will pay big dividends. EVIDENCES. The man who advertises must ever remain a foolish spender of money to the man who doesn't believe ‘n advertising—who bhas had no evidence that dollars so put out ever return. I, however, he should handle The Bulletin's exchanges these days, h= would be surprised to see how the papérs of this sfate bulge with trade and Christmas announcements. The Bulletin notes that the Hart ford Times and the Bridgeport Tele- gram have issued 32 @ editions, The Herald of New Britain a 35-page edition, The Courant of Hariferd a 28-page edition, The Register i The Evening Union of New Haven, and the Waterbury Republican, each 24- page editlons, not to mention the big papers whieh are now coming in from other states. That there is business in priuters; inkk has been so well proven that it is strange that 2 man can be found anywhere who still honestly thinks that it doesn’'t pay. Why these great papers carry hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of advertising spacs and they return large dividneds io the firms they represent. The business that gets into prin: in good shape gets right into the swim of trade. EDITORIAL NOTES. The Mexicans who spit upon the American flag may find that danger- ous some day when they least expect it. It is a fact that the -cigarette emoker thinks that it is a shame for a girl to degrade herself by chewing gum, The only place in which the Bele glan monarch is mourned sincerely is said to be in the jewelry stores of Paris.

The Attacks on Ballinger. The attacks upon Secretary Ballin- ger of the interior department con- tinue in various quarters; but the at- tacks are now: taking on less of an {air of anxiety as to public interests and more of a personal tinge. Some of 3r. Ballinger’s former critics, ang- ered by the fact that President Taft. after a searching examination, found the secretary wholly guiltless of any wrong doing, are now making charges without the offer of a shred of proof, simply and plainly through personal spite. The critics do not specifically charge that Secretary Ballinger has done anything dishones! They are afraid to do that, so long as penal- ties for deliberate and malicious libel exist on the statute books. But they Tt is still possible to gather $400 worth of furs in two months in some parts of Vermont; and $15,000 worth was the output of one town recently.
