that occasion for the act no longer exists
I'm Aroostook has an outlet other than by

There are six large American mills here
and their output is about fifty per cent OF
The total at this port. The owners OF the
American mills do not look for the repeal
uf the act but even II IL should be re-
realed they say they will keep In opera
ton and use Canadian logs, thus placing
any loss on the Maine land owners

HOSPITAL
FOR LEPERS

washington. Feb. 6-surgeon General
Wyman Of the marine hospital service
and physicians generally throughout the
country are strongly urging congress 10
pass the bill just reported TO the house
appropriatlng s250.000 for the establish
ment OF a national hospital for lepers
The measure was introduced by Repre-
sentative Hepburn. chairman OF the house
committee on interstate commerce.
The report accompanying It contains
some interesting inforna ton as 10 the
nature Of leprosy and the danger Of con-
| tagion, the number OF lepers in the
United States and the necessity for their
segregation and care by the federal gov
| eminent The facts were submitted 10
the committee by Surgeon General wy
man and the secretaries OF various state
boards of health.
The cause OF the disease Is now
known" says the report. land is recog-
nlzed az being specific organism--the ba-
cillus leprae But little is known OF its
transmission from one individual 10 an
other, or of the channels through which
II effects an entrance into the human
economy"
There are about 2sO lepers in the United
States. OF this number more than one
half are American born. These figures
apply only 10 the states and contiguous
territories They do not include persons
confined in the leper colonies In the Ha-
waiian islands and in Porto Rico.
Louisiana leads the states In the num-
her OF lepers reported. Minnesota il sec
ond. Attention is called in the report to
the inability TO properly care for the
diseased persons within their borders
Three lepers in Massachusetts, cost the
state $4,000 a year.
In some states lepers are segrega ted
and placed in rural communities sub
ject 10 the inspection and regulation OF
the state board OF health
1T is true" says the report. that the
contagion seems 10 require a consider
able length of time and that II is slow 10
manifest itself. and that manx-perSaHs
exposed 20 contagon escape"
At the same timo 10 is pointed out that
the time has come when the ma tional gov
eminent should take charge OF the lepers
in the states and place them IN an iso-
lated hospital. where they can be prom
erly cared for and when the daisies can
be studied by scientists under the most
favorable circumstances. The bin pro-
poses that some abandoned military or
naval reservation be selected for the pur-
pose.
