The Battle With Consumption.

Practically all the nations of the
earth are represented at the interna-
tional conference on tuberculosis which
began it's sessions yesterday at Wash
ington. Most of the states, including
our own. have sent eminent medical
men and others interested in the hui
manitarian work to join in the discus
sion of all those associated ques-
tons with which the wide newspaper
discussion of this scourge of civiliza-
ton, during recent years, has made the
public more or less familiar. The
durability of the plague, its symptoms,
how it may be avoided, the open-air
treatment, uselessness of drugs. dan
gers of splitting, of raw milk, etc.-on
all these subjects the average news
paper reader should have at least an
approximation to intelligent opinion.
He may not be able to talk as an eX-
pert but knows enough about the rudi-
ments to listen Understandings and
form an opinion deserving attention.
particularly regarding the larger mat
tiers of public sanitation and proven
ton.
There is every reason to believe,
therefore, that the proceedings at
washington will be given wider pub
licity than have those of any previous
anti-tubercuIosis convention. and
prove unusually efficient in stirring the
public to further action. There seems
no doubt that very large percentage
of the deaths now annually sacrificed
to the tubercle bacillus can be and
eventually will be saved as people
learn better how to avoid and kill it
DR.. Flick of the Phipps Institute for
Poor Consumptves thinks that by
1928 Philadelphia may be entirely free
from the SOURCE. This will seem un-
duly optimistic to many. but even II
such a result could be accomplished In
the great cities of the country by
1858. or even 2003, it would justify the
calling of anti-tuberculosiS conferences
every month for the remainder of the
century Maine is well at the fore
front in the fight against the white
plague, and the splendid work of the
model sanatorium at Hebron is widely
recognized. 1t is work. however
which cannot be left wholly to the
State Board of Health and the Maine
state Sanatorium Association. They
alone are cutting down the death rate
from consumption in Maine, but they
must have the earnest and unwaVerlnS

pecially of the medical profession, TO
win the great fight they are waginS.

You're the slave Of 4 foolish pride.
With your face to the starry sky
You would try to look dignified.

You are crushing the blossoms beneath
your feet
And YOU never can see in your bnnd con-

For you're holding your head too high.
You are holding your head too high.
You have nothing to give but a sheer.
