International conference OF Tuber-
cuiosis which will be held In thia
city September 1920, DR.. Lawrence

tute for poor consum ptives and
chairman OF the conference. express
ed the confident belief that in Is
years tuberculosis will be wiped
out.
Each year since its inception"
said Dr. FHck, the memhcrs nd
the conference have had n story to
tell OF great strides made toward
the eventual conquering OF con-
sumption, and the conference this
year will be remarkable for the tell
ing OF n progress twice as great as
has been made in any year before.
"ln Philadelphia alone reduc-
tion OF 800 has been made In the
death rate of the last six months In
the year before. The totol number

tion last year in the city was 1900,
and If the same rate is kept mp for
six years to come consumption w.ll
be abolished"
Asked II, in his opinion. this re-
suit would be brought about, Or.
Flick said:
II am sure that in fifteen years or
less tuberculosis Will be- wiped out.
All that Is needed IS wider knOwl-
edge OF how to prevent It's spr ad.
If we could teach every or the
simple method OF preventing conta-
glon, we could Immediately stop all
further progress Of the disease, and
in few years II would be gone.
Their wide educational value Is the
reason for holding the national con
ferenccs

At Butte the trunk had been checked to
