Health Officers of Texas Have the
Matter in Hand.

Austin, Tex.-State Health Officer
Brumby has not yet decided what he
Will do in regard to quarantining Of

hitting these unfortunates to travel
around when they are in such a preca-
condition led to the suggestion

tine against tuberculosis victims. He
now has that matter under c~onsidera-
lion. but whatever he does will only be
done after mature deliberation.
