quarantine AHhtnbt tOOubuihpttWSbs
There is movement on foot to ex-
clude consumptives from California
and other western states. The state
board Of health Of California Is con-
sidering the propriety Of quaraptin-
ing the state against human beings
and domestic animals having tubercu-
losis. This action has opened to wide
discussion the question Of the right OF
state to bottle up for its own citi-
zens It's air and sunshine. Colorado is
thought to be planning quarantine,
and it is believed that the movement
will develop an interstate system Of
laws in the west prohibiting oon-
sumptives from entering or leaving
, the confines of the state. At the same
time physicians say that the practice
of recommending climatic changes for
consumptives is not so prevalent as II
was some years ago, and that for this
reason, in view Of modern theories OF
the disease, the western states have
little to fear from the utmost generos-
ity on their part in permitting suf-
ferers from other states to breathe
where they can breathe with least
pain, and to spend their dying years
where they can cling longest to life.
