CONSUMPTION AND
THE SPREAD OF IT.

Canada is getting agitated about the
spread of consumption. Last night s
dispatches told of a conference called
by the governor general of the prov
lnce to consider the matter. 1t was
stated that one-fifth of all the deaths
in the dominion resulted from tuber-
culosis, while the spread of the dis
ease in the United States was no less
alarming.
The conference decided to ask the
governments of the United States and
Canada to take up the matter. and
will urge all state and local govern
ments to unite in some sort of plan
to control the plague-for it is no less.
IL is one of the wonders of the twen-
tiethe century that this fatal and loath-
some disease has been allowed to con-
tinue in control of tho lives and des-
TIMES of men as long as it has. It is
not necessary to believe that there has
been such a great actual spread of the
malady as is sometimes alleged.
Many forms of the disease are now
classified as tuberculosis that formerly
went under other names. But the fact
remains that this new century is dis
graced by allowing such disease
which is the result partly of ignor-
ance. partly OF carelessness. partly of
drudgery Of life among the poor and
the middle classes. partly of the gross
disregard of the laws of life among
those who have money to burn-by al
lowing such a disease to continue year
by year. carrying off it's victims by the
hundreds of thousands.
It is worse than yellow fever. or
small pox. Yet people are thrown in
to a frenzy by the reports of the pres
ence of these, while the germs of con-
sumption are allowed to get in their
work wherever and whenever they can.
Why will individuals not awaken to
their sense of responsibility? Why do
those who have the disease go on prop
agating more invalids by heritage or
by contact? Why do not those afflict-
ed with the disease endeavor to inform
themselves as to the simple laws for
its control or cure? Why do they not
put into practice the first laws of per-
sOnal cleanliness-of common decen-
cy, rather? Why do not communities
learn the lesson that self defense is |
one Of the first laws of life, AMI that |
the life and welfare of the community !
must be secured, even at the ex-
pense of the let-alone, don't-care Ian
guor of the diseased and their friends?
The people of this day ought to in
sist on disinfected carpets and blan-
