A WHITE PLAGUE CAMPAIGN.

An important and effective work is
being done in the disseminating of in
formation regarding the white plague
by the st. Louis society for the Relief
and Prevention of Tuberculosis. Regu-
lar meetings are held by the organiza-
ton and tuberculosis patients are In
vited to attend and hear a full discus
sion of the s>bject by physicians. BY
this means they learn much as to the
regulation Of the habits that will aid
them In combating the disease Here
are few Of the rules laid down by
the society. many Of which could be
observed with beneficial results by
even the most healthy:
Fresh Air Is the Doctor.
Don't live, sleep or study in rooms
which are not full of fresh air.
Don't live in dusty air. Mop up
dust with damp cloth. Never sweep
your rooms with a dry broom
Don't eat with soiled hands Wash
them always before you go to table.
Don't keep soiled handkerchiefs in
you pocket.
Seek sunlight.
Day and night, winter and summer,
keep open the windows where you
sleep.
Sleeping alone Is well for the affiict-
ed as we'll as for the well. Frequent
bathing is highly advisable, To avoid
indiscriminate expectoration is a duty
Plain food and plenty of 1t is the
hill of fare for persons consumptively
inclined.
Most of those who die from tubercu-
losis have neglected most Of these
