ANrheIrrINe ORDINANCE.

Now. that public sentiment has been
thoroughly aroused by the exhibition
of the National TlRerculossis Associas
ton, in Frankfor the city fathers
get busy without delay and pass the
Anticipating ordinance, which has
been asleep so long On one OF the
, committees of the General Council
Surely no one will offer opposition,
NhsSE means so much to the public
bealth and general welfare of our
community. tuberculosis, or CON
sumption, is the mests common Ss6d
fatal disease with which the people
Of Kentucky are afflicted, producing
more than twice as many deaths IS
any other disease, causing cssy dssd6
out Of every sev6Sip this state.
1t is an accepted sctssbs taeameai
cal profession that consufmptioR Is
a communicable germ. disease, and
that The chief cause of danger of in.
lection is from the sputum or expec.
torated matter Of consumption, which
contains the germ or seed of the
disease, and when the dried sputum,
which goes into the abr or dust is
breathed by others they often fall a
victim to this dreadful disease Then,
too. the method of sweeping me
streets should be changed, for the
dust flies in every direction while
the streets are being swept in IA dry
condition Also when the dirt is
shoveled into the carts, and this is
a prolific source for the spreading OF
disease More than one hundred and
1fifty thousand people die of consump.
7tion in the United States every year,
which is more than twice as, many as
died in battle during the entire four
years Of the Civil War. Consumption
is a preventable disease. 1t is not
inherited, and does not belong to
our climate, but 1t is sad fact that
Kentucky's mortality from consump.
tion Is greater than any other State
In the Union. with the exception of
California and Tennessee, there being
over six thousand deaths from coz
sumption in Kentucky last year, and
in the city of Frankfort, out of total
of one hundred and fourteen (11A)
deaths for the year 1907, seventeen
90 were from consumption alone,
being about fifteen (15) per cent. OF
the total number of deaths. In view
of these facts does it not behoove
us as public spirited citizens to take
immediate steps to rid our Capital
City of the ravages of this death
dealing enemy? So let our slogan
be: NO SPIT, NO CONSUMPTION,
and if this rule Is enforced there will
soon be a noticeable decrease in the
death rate Of our city, and a big re
duction in the humber of cases OF
tuberculosis in our midst. Gentlemen
of the General Council. the citizens
of Frankfort look to you and have
the right 70 expect of you the imme.
diate passage of an antispitting or.
dinance.
