TIT HI LE this bank adopts every de sirable method of mod ern banking, it never loses light of that essen tial quality: ABSOLUTE SAFETY. New York, March 17. (Special) That electricity may be BUci-cSomily employed to destroy disease germs within tho body was asaerted and ill ustrated at a meeting of the Health and Longevity Club here this week by Dr. Samuel T. Tracty. a New York physician who has devoted years of study to the use of electrical currents in staying the progress of old age and opposing disease. Tho method by which tho harmful bacteria are rendered Innocuous within the body la known as electrical diathermy. By passing currents through the body In opposite directions any desired degree of heat can be created at the point where they Intersect- without any in crease of temperature on the surface and in fact without the patient feel ing U at all. In this way the germs of tuberculosis, pneumonia, typhoid or other bacterial diseases can be sterilized and rendered harmless. It Is said that in a test made of 75 cases of tuberculosis the bacilli was effectlvtly-Mlestroyed In every case. This method of treatment has been for some time recognized value In and other affections that usually ac company old age, but the Idea of cooking dangerous germs to death within the body by this means is a novel though apparently practicable one . In addition to the many forms of atate regulation already In force here, New York Is about to follow the example of Oregon in providing for the regulation of fraternal In si ranee organizations. There have been several cases In whkh improper or Inefficient management of such or ganlzatlons has Jeopardized the se curity of the person Insured In them. As a result Insurance Superintendent Hotchkiss Introduced a bill In the State Legislature placing these fra ternal societies under the Jurisdiction of the Btate department. That bill Is now to be withdrawn, only in order to give place to a similar measure which was adopted by the insurance commissioners of the various states at their annual convention here a few months ago. It is proposed to have this bill adopted by the legislatures of all the states so that there may be uniform legislation throughout the country for the safeguarding of the $20,000,000,000 of .insurance carried by these organizations. As soon as th bill can be redrafted in accordance with the agreement arrived at It will be reported by the committ-es of the legislature that now have It in charge with a recommendation for favorable action. It will undoubtedly pass, making New York one of the first stat 8 to adopt this legislation which ts expected to become the uniform law of all the Btates on this subject. While instances of rapid advance ment In real state values are not difficult to find, it Is doubtful the record of a small corner lot on the west side of this city has ever been excelled outside of a mining or oil camp In a similar length of time. The lot In question Is located at Seventh Avenue and Thirteenth St., and measures only 80 by 39 feet Ten years ago It was held at $30,000 which was considered a good price. Then the Pennsylvania railroad decided to locate its new terminal on Seventh Avenue wit hits nfctin entrance di rectly opposite the lot In question, which Is occupied by an old four story building. By 1903 the property had Jumped In value to $168,000. In 1907 It was sold once more, this time for $400,000. Since then It has chang ed hands several times, always at a rapidly Increasing figure, until at its last transfer, shortly before the first of the month, Us value had mounted to more than $700,000. It haa been rented at an annual figure of $40,000 per year. Thus in ten years the property haa multi plied In value nearly twenty-flve times or at the rate of two and a half times each year. Several com fortable fortunes have been taken out of this unattractive old building and it is possible that oth:rs may be drawn out of It in the future. Electric Bnlbs Cheaper. Washington, March.
