GOOD WORK AGAINST
GREAT WHITE PLAGUE
Committee on the Prevention of Consumption Expected
to Accomplish Much in Decreasing Death Rate.

1t is believed by those closely con-
nected with the work that a great deal
Of good will be accomplished in the di-
rection Of decreasing deaths and sick
ness by consumption through the efforts
of the committee on the prevention Of
consumption"
The object of this committee is to
combat the spread Of consumption,
which in 1900 resulted IN the death Of
HOO persons in the United States. and
to better the condition Of patients suf-
fering from the disease, and to pro-
mote their recovery.
The methods pursued by the commit
tee are interesting. Possibly the most
important branch Of the work is the in
struction of communities by lectures,
printed matter, and in other ways as to
the cause of consumption, and as to
the methods by which the germs of this
dread disease may be destroyed. The
aim of the committee In this respect Is
to educate the people so that they may
recognize the early symptoms OF the
malady and begin the work Of curing
the patient at once.
The next most important feature OF
, the work of the committee is the devel-
opment OF adequate means for the care
and treatment OF consumption cases
through the establishment OF hospital
accommodations and otherwise provid-
ing for the medical assistance OF those
afflicted.
The enactment OF proper legislation
has been rightly regarded as Of much
Importance in this work. and the COM
mittee has looked out for the formula
ticn and the promotion OF the enact
ment of such legislation as may be
found needfuI.
The members of the committee have

believed that their best work should
be done along the line OF educating the
people as to the disastrous character OF
this disease and the fact that II the
proper steps are taken I'm the early
stages of consumption a cure may be ef-
fected. The opinion prevails among the
masses Of the people that when con-
sumption once lays hold OF a person all
hope OF recovery is gone. The commit
tee wishes to dissipate this misconcep-
ton. and has been doing a wonderful
work in the line of delivering lectures.
distributing reading matter, and like
operations. During the last winter and
spring forty-four public lectures were
delivered before church societies, fra
ternities, and clubs. These lectures
we're attended by from 10000 10 $500
people. Fifteen physicians and four
especially prepared laymen have given
their services as speakers. These lee
turers have used stereopticon views TO
explain the methods of cohtagion, cure,
and prevention. and TO illustrate the re-
lation Of consumption to insanitary
conditions and bad habits.
The members OF the committee claim
that outdoor treatment is the best for
consumptives. and for this purpose four
tents have been erected on the grounds
OF the Washington Asylum Hospital.
Any person VINO is suffering from, or
who suspects that he may have con-
tracted consumption. will receive free
examination at the dispensary which
the committee has opened at COS Four
and-a-half Street southwest
The committee is doing a great deal
Of active work In and around Washing
ton. Loan libraries have been estab-
llshed at several places, at which cards

pockets. He said he could recall having

out IN the afternoon, but had no recOl-
lection OF meeting anyone in Battery

body could plainly be seen In a snow

where Mr.. Cooke slid into the water. He
declared he had no intention OF going
