CAMPAIGN IS HAVING EFFECT
Already th« Death Rata From Tuber-
euloals Is Showing a Gratifying
In certain cities, such as New York,
Boston. Cleveland and Chicago, and
In states like Massachusetts, Rhode la-
land and Connecticut, the decline In
the death rate from tuberculosis la
more marked than In the country at
large, which declined 18.7 per cent In
the ten years from 1 01 to 1910. Tha
National Association for ths Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosl* says that
there are many factors working to-
gether to cause the decline In the tu-
berculosis death rate, such factors aa
the change In the character of our nt
ban population. Increased sanitation,
and better housing, but probably aa
potent a faotor aa any has been the na-
tion wide anti-tuberculosis campaign.
"It may be foretold with oonslderabla
certainty," the association says, "that
when the effects of tha present rapid-
ly Increasing provision for the care of
tuberculosis patients shall have be-
come evident, the decline In the death
rate from consumption In the coming
decade will be even more marked than
that In the last one."
Looking to ths Insvltsbls.
Seventy-nine yesrs old, but with no
thought of dying for years, a South
Brooklyn retired windmill dealer spent
his reecnt birthday In Cleveland, O..
looking for a bargain In cofflns. Ha
said he never had cared much for
show and thought he would care less
when dead, so he wanted something
that would be durable, not fancy. "The
undertakers wanted more than tlOO
for good coffinb," he told a friend,
"none of which looked to be worth
more than )50. For $25 I found 1
could get one that looked as If it
might have cost |2.50 to make. You
don't suppose I could get a good sec-
ond hand one anywhere, do you?" Tha
man did not Inveat, but decided ha
would wait awhile and aee if the high
cost of dying might no*, be reduced.
