THE WHITE PLAGUE.

Twice within a week Washington
has been the scene of a convention
that has made tuberculosis the theme
of its discussion. The tuberculosis
Congress of course dealt solely with
that disease. But the conference of
delegates from the state boards OF
health that met here this week also
made tuberculosis the primary sub
ject of their discussion. This wide
spread interest does not mean that
the Great White Plague is becoming
any more prevalent but it does mean
that it is being better understood
and now that the physicians know
how it may be combatted, they think
It more worth while to call the atten.
tion of the public to it. When the
statement of one doctor was taken
into consideration, that 10 out OF
Statec are destined TO sooner or later
contract the disease this soicitude is
easily understood.
Yet, according to all the state
ments and there is seldom such uni
son in medical statements, the dis
ease which is unquestionably the
greatest danger that the country has
to deal with, is not contagious, though
ii is infectious and it could be easily
controlled il the public were more
awake to its real nature. This was
the burden of the address made by
President Lewis to the Conference OF
the State Health Officers. He pointed
ont to them that the results of treat
nIent of consumptives in sanatoria
had been very gratifying. But he said
prevention being worth pound, OF
cure, it would be much better, easier
and cheaper to prevent consumption
than to cure it. Then he pointed out
his plan for an educational campaign.
He showed just how much the servic.
es of good lecturer would cost, his
hdNSHHS SApSuSSSy COSI VI duNeIllS'
ing and of postage and clerical work
In fact he talked of the subject as
though he were trained impressario
He said 1t would cost a state $500
TO put such man in the field and
keep him there year. Then he
showed that the cost of running ever
small consumptive sanitarium was
$4,000 a year, and he drew from this
the conclusion that five such lectur
ers could be put into the field and II
the course of year cover any stat,
in the Union. This would be at N,
greater expense than sanitariun
that would treat at the most not owe
200 people.
He said that such course of edr
cation would not wipe out consumI
ton but would go long way towar
checking 1t, for 1t would show tn
people how tocombat the disease an
would prevent thousands of points i
every large city from becoming tn
foci of contaglon.

better implement on the farm
than the disk roller, where a per-
feet seed bed is desired.
The best way to deal with clods
is not to encourage their forma-
ton, and this on the ordinary
farm can be done by the methods
we have outlined. There ,s no
need of having a cloddy field ex-
cept under very exceptional cir
cumstances; as, for example,
where cattle have been allowed
20 tramp down a clay field when
it was wet.
Bear in mind that you cannot
