ly was a welcome change at this
place, from so much rain.

If it keeps on snowing we can soon
go sleigh riding, but we look for the

warm to snow much.

ily; A. Dane and family; E. R. Boyer

Imler as soon as it can be improved.
Wm. May went to Camas, Washing
ton, where he has work for a time.
We sec that the name of Perl Sel
by is to come before the primary for
the office of County Recorder. Perl
is a model young man, who has work
ed hard to get a college education, and
he surely is worthy of the honor, but
it will take lots of grit to race with
some of these political pushers who
are out for county offices.
We understand there is a move on
foot to cut off a part of Highland on
the East and give the piece cut off a
new name, as Highland is quite a
large territory and should be divided
up. As it is now, there is North
Highland, South Highland, Upper
Highland, Lower Highland and just
plain Highland, so when one speaks
of Highland it is hard to tell what
they are talking about.
On New Year's day . Highland
Grange met and installed their officers
and then in the evening gave their
programme and basket social, after
which the room was cleared and danc
ing began, which lasted till morning.
All seemed to enjoy themselves.
There is but little snow, but the
ground is frozen so that all work is
at a standstill except keeping
hearth warm.
Mr. Smidt, who bought the Cramer
place, was out with one of his sons
cold weather. They have been coast
ing considerably.

much better and able to walk a little.
Elmer Graves was farming out his
seed graita few days ago preparatory
to seeding as soon as the ground is
in condition.

The old year has wrapped his
mantle around himself and gone for
ever, with his joys and sorrows. The
glad New Year has come in, dressed
in a robe of white (the first snow of
the winter). Each day of the year is
a page in the book of our lives and as
we live and do, the pages will be kept

Twenty-two Millions Spent in America
Combatting Tuberculosis
Figures indicating the growth of
the anti-tuberculosis campaign in the
United States show that in the year
1905 about $5,000,000 was spent in this
movement while during the year 1915
over $22,500,000 was spent. These fi
gures are part of the annual statis
tical statement of The National Asso
ciation for the Study and Prevention
of Tuberculosis. The statement is
based in part on actual reports receiv
ed from anti-tuberculsos agencies
throughout the country and in part
on estimates made by the Association.
In 1905 probably less than $100,000
was spent for anti-tuberculosis work
other than the care of tuberculosis
patients in a few poorly equipped san
atoria and hospitals. In 1915 over
1,400 anti-tuberculosis associations
spent nearly $1,225,000 in organization
and education. Special tuberculosis
dispensaries, of which there are 450,
spent over $1,150,000 in examining,
advising and treating patients. Open
air schools, of which there were none
in 1905, spent more than $350,000 in
teaching and treating anemic and tu
berculosis children, while nearly
$750,000 was spent in the care of
tuberculosis insane and prisoners.
Sanatoria and hospitals for the care
of consumptives, nearly 600 of them,
spent $19,250,000. Much of this sum
was contributed by private, pay-patients,
but the greater part, over
$12,000,000, was paid by federal, state,
city and county boards for free treat
ment. As an indication of the way in
which the burden of the care of con
sumptives is being shifted to the
public's shoulders, where it rightly
belongs , the National Association
points out that in 1905, as nearly as
can be estimated, less than 25 per
cent of the total expenditure of
$5,000,000 for tuberculosis was from
public funds, while in 1915, nearly 65
per cent or $14,500,000 was from this
source.
New York State again leads the
states with the largest total expendi
ture of nearly $5,000,000, with Penn
sylvania second, and Illinois third.
