on tuberculosis.

on tuberculosis.
The proportion of deaths from tn.
bereulosis Commonly called con
sumptionD, in the total number of
deaths from all causes. is so great
that it is a matter for serious
consideration. Two thousand,
five hundred citizens of Mary
land die from this awful scourge
every year. That means that one
person out of every seven persons
who die, is victim of the ''great
white plague" When it is re-
membered that great majority
of the people who die from con
sumption are between the ages
of fifteen and thirty years, or at
time when their earning power
should be approaching its max
imnm, the real seriousnoss of the
situation becomes apparent. For
the $500 persons who die each
year from this disease, another
$500 new cases develop, and
these soon lose all, or nearly all,
of their power to support them.
selves. aud become dependent
upon their relatives or friends or
upon the community where they
live.
1t has been proven beyond
doubt. that tuberculosis is dis
ease that is communicable from
one person to another or to many
peopls; that it is preueatGble and
that it is durable. What is the
State of Maryland doing to pre-.
vent its spread or to provide
means OF cure for such of its cit.
liens as are not able to provide
the means to cure themselves
The Legislature in 1902, created
a tuberculosis Commission to
study the disease as it affects the
State, and TO recommend meas
ures Tor its abatement. The com.
mission made a thorough inves,
tigation and issued a splendid
report. The recommendation
of the commission. that the nui-
sance of splitting in public places
should constitute an offense; that
physicians should be required to
report all cases of tuberculosis to
the State Board of Health; and
that refusal or neglect, on the
part of the owner or landlord,
to have an infected room or apart
ment fumigated, should conSti.
tute an otfense, were all enacted
into laws aud are now operative.
These laws, however, will not
enforce themselves, but it will
require the operation of the
people OF the State generally with
physicians and the legal author.
tiles to make them effective. The
State Commission realized this
fact aud issued a call for volun.
teers. The result has been the
organization of the Maryland
Association for the Prevention
and Relief Of tuberculosis, with
headquarters in the Federated
Charities Building, in Balti-
more. The association is engaged
in enlightening the people of the
State regarding consumption, its
spread and its prevention. To
this end, courses of popular, free
lectutes are being arranged. the
lecturers being prominent physi-
clans, Sanitarians, and laymen
who are authorities on this line.
Circulars of information and in
struction are also being issued
and distributed.
The books of the association
are open for the enrolment OF
members, and it is hoped that
many citizens of this county will
avail themselves of the opportu-
nifty to perform a public service
by joining the association and
helping TO defeat the "white
death"

Alex. Mclean, superintendent of the MetCalf mines, was in town Sun day last. He recently returned from trip through Nevada but on ac- count of heavy snow he did not go to Goldtields. His opinion is that Ari- zona is far superior to Nevada as q mining country. Mir. Mclean has been interested in some mines in Chihuahua and Sonora for some years past, and has recently struck some wonderfully rich ore on both properties. He has a six foot ledge in Chihuahua which averages 300 ounces silver and If per cent. copper. His Sonora property averages ; ounces gold and loo ounces silver, with plenty of wood and water con veulent to both properties. He thinks that either of these strikes is as good as almost anything in Nevada. because they can be worked for about one quarter of what it costs to operate in Nevada.
