Tuberculosis and Sanitation,

The question of the effect of GER
tain occupations on this disease has
also been carefully investigated in
France. 1t has been found that
those trades that bring one into con-
tact with dust (metiers a poussieres)
are especially dangerous. Professor
Landouzy's investigations among
policemen and postal employees (both
of whom have also very insantiary
offices-indeed the public complaint
against the impure aid in postoffices
in Paris are most frequently, and also
among laudry workers, have revealed
a disastrous condition of affairs.
Also among 257 workmen, carefully
kept under observation by Professor
Landouzy, consisting of carpenters.
joiners, floor layers, and packers.
all living under practically the same
conditions, the mortality from tuber-
culosis amounted to more than 80
per cent. ~
Laundry workers, however, were
found to be the most seriously af-
fected. From statistics made at
Billancourt, Boulogne-sur-Seine, etc.
districts in the neighborhood of
Paris where laudries abound), the
mortality from tuberculosis reached
the alarming total of rs per cent.
So deadly is the handling of indis-
criminate soiled linen, that women
succumb after an average of Is
years, while men last from IS to 90
year. This surely shows the need
of certain precautions. such as spe-
cial bags for the collection of soiled
linen certainly of persons affected
with tuberculosis, so that the con-
tents could be disinfected before be-
ing handled in the usual way.
The Paris bakers few days ago
formed an organization for the i'm
provement of the unsanitary condi-
tions under which they have to work.
II is stated authoritively that. de-
spite the government inspection of
bakeries and the most modern hy-
gienic apparatus, out of 100000
bakers in Paris, 100000 suffer from
tuberculosis. This state of affairs Is
not only distressing to the, workers.
but a source of danger to the con-
sumers of the bread. etc. A profes-
sional bakers school has consequent
ly been opened to educate the men to
practice hygienic methods.-Consu-
lar Report.

LOCAL
0~O OPTION
WINS

In the suit OF Lee Jeffries against
John II. Scott, I. G. Needham and
William Miley, composing the coun-
ty court OF Marion county, a petition
for writ of review, Judge Gallo
way this morning sustained the mo-
tion to quash the writ on the grounds
that the court has no Jurisdiction
over the subject matter of this pro-
oeeding, or of the defendants; that
the plaintiff has no legal capacity to
maintain this suit; that the petition
does not state facts sufficient to con-
stitute a cause of action or invoke
the aid OF court of equity.
Lee Jeffrles conducted a saloon at
Mill City, in Horeb precinct, and was
forced to go out of business on ac-
count OF the county court ordering
prohibition In said precinct, In ac-
cordance with the local option law.
which was sustained In that precinct
at the June election.
