ARCTIC CURE
FOR CONSUMPTION

HALIFAX, N. s., June 15.-In Or
der to make practical test of the
theory advanced by prominent Arctic
explorers and others that sojourn
in the Arctic regions will cure con-
sumption the steamer Havana leaves
this port today for health cruise
along the coast of Greenland. The
steamer is in charge of physicians
and others selected by number of
prominent Neutrality-suspicious. who are
backing the project and 1t carries as
passengers a number of tuberculosis
patients.
The plan is to visit certain sterile
and dustless areas which lie under
perpetual summer sunshine within
the Arctic circle, for the cure of
early cases of the disease. 1t Is con-
tended that the continuous day of the
Arctic summer, with its healthful
and bracing features, far surpasses
any conditions in any other part of
the world for the cure of pulmonary
diseases.
The Havana will cruise along the
shore of Baffin's Land and central
Greenland, anchoring in various shell
tered tiords for the diversion and BEN
eft of the patients. The return is
scheduled for the latter part of Sep
