ADEQUATE CARE FOR
LOCAL CONSERVATIVES
General Sternburg Pleads for Hospital
in the District.

George NJ. sternburg. chairman of a
subcommittee on the prevention of con-
sumption, organized by the Associated
Charities. has called the attention of
the Commissioners TO the Importance Of
establishing Immediately in the District
of Columbia a hospital for the treat
ment OF pulmonary tuberculosis.
"As you no doubt know" he says
1.-THE mortality from this disease in the
District is excessive, and no doubt there
are many infected houses. especially
among the colored population, which
contributes a large annual quota to our
mortality rate from this disease. II is
perhaps impossible 10 prevent houses
from becoming infected. especially
among the poorer classes of the com
munity. so long as patients with pull
moDary tuberculosis are allowed 10 re-
main in their oWn homes. The removal
OF such cases 10 a properly located and
well regulated hospital would be in the
interests of the sick and would no doubt
go far toward preventing the propaga-
ton OF this Infectious disease.
Il urge that you will make estimates
for the construction OF a hospital for
consumptives upon the site selected for
a municipal hospital. / am sure the
leading members Of the medical profess
sion will agree with me that this is 2
most urgent matter. and that every eff
fort should be made TO induce Congress
10 make the necessary APPROXIMATION at
its coming session"

DR.. LEWIS WILL FIGHT
THE GERM OF LAzINESS
Hookworm Singled Out for Attack by
Tarheel Scientist.

Dr. Lewis, of the North Carolina
Board of Health, is preparing to make
war on the hookworm. the germ of lazi-
ness, which was recently discovered by
DR.. Charles W. Stiles, a zoologist in the
employ of the Government.
Experiments have shown that che
hookworm attacks persons living in
sandy parts of the Southern States, and
is most common in children who &c
barefoot. 1t renders its victim indo-
lent and arrests growth. In severe cases
the face of the patient is bloated, the
abdomen enlarges. the shoulders droop,
and the legs become thin.

terprises and, Of unprecedented re-

needed to finish the canal, provide
its terminals. and meet all other
charges connected with the enter
