sideration Of methods of publication Of

/ In his recommendations regarding tuber-
culosis, the Surgeon General recites that

relate 10 the exclusion OF immigrants
thus affected. the carrying out of the
/ Presidents order for the prevention Of
/ the spread of this disease among govern
ment employees, the maintenance of san

army, the navy, and the Public Health
and Marine Hospital Service, and the en-
couragement, in so far rs the general gov
eTnment may participate, OF all efforts of
States and municipalities for It's suppress
sion.
The Surgeon General recommends spe-
cial authority and app opriation for the
preparation and distribution of short
treatiSes on tuberculosis, particularly re-
lating 70 the transmission and methods of
prevention. IN addition, there should be
lectures and demonstrations by officers of
the service upon request Of and in CO.
operation with the State boards of health.
This plan is in keeping with a further
recommendation that authority be grant
ed for the detail of p commissioned med
zeal officers of the service for temporary
duty with each of the State health de
partments in an advisory capacity when
request to this effect is made
Regulations are also in preparation un-
der the law of 1898 relating to Interstate
travel Of persons afflicted with this dis
ease requiring certain precautions on the
part Of common carriers and the patients
themselves.
While the law permits the preparation
Of regulations regarding both typhoid
fever and tuberculosis. there are no funds
available for carrying them into effect.
Specific appropriation is recommended.
Bureau Publications..
To meet the growing demand for in
creased Federal activity in matters Of
public health. no one measure would be
more useful than the enlargement Of the
bureaus power to convey information
through bulletins and pamphlets.
AS a further means to secure co-opera-
ton with State and municipal health au-
tborities the Surgeon General recon-
mends the establishment OF a school OF
hygiene connected with the hygienic
laboratory Of the service, to which ac-
credited State and municipal health off.
GERS might be assigned by the proper
State authority for a well-defined course
Of research and special instruction.
lie also recommends that the laboratory
force be increased sufficiently 10 permit
the examination from a public health
standpoint of new medical preparations
and dfsnfectants especially those not
recognized in the phaTmacopoeia or ma
tional formulary
He also invites attention to the neces-
sity Of increased compensation OF the
Medical Corps and the necessity Of main
tanning this compensation on a parity
with that of the medical corps of the
other departments.
He also recommends that the bureau
force be enlarged by the addition of a

MANN MAY SUCCEED SWANSON
Sentiment for Nottaway Judge Said
to Be Growing.
Thought He VIII Make Attempt To
Democratic Strength.
Special to The washington Hsnld.

SPECIAL 20 The Washington Herald.
Richmond. Va. Jan. Eff the senti-
ment Of the Individual members Of the
Virginia legislature is a fair representa-
ton of the sentiment Of the people
throughout the State. Judge William
Hodges Mann, Of N0ttaway. viii prob
ably succeed, two years hence. in graft
fying his very laudable ambition 20 be-
come governor Of Virginia.
OF the FIVE candidates already in the
field for the honor of succeeding Gov.
Swanson, the name of Judge Mann IS
being more prominently discussed in con-
nection with the nomination than that
of any other man.
1t is believed by many that Judge Mann
will develop such strength by the time
the campaign actually opens, that the
opposition viii gradually retire, leaving
him in undisputed possession Of the field.
Probably a majority of the members of
the house believe that Judge Mann is
the strongest candidate uow in the race.
Judge Mann. in making the fight for
the nomination, will attempt to combine
the prohibition and Democratic strength
Of the State. The support Of the Demo-
Gratis as a party Is contingent. however.
to some extent, upon Judge AIann's pro-
hibtiOn activity in the present legislature.
IN other words. the prohibition element
in the State, which is strong, VIII prob
ably attempt to force him 20 inaugurate
some drastic legislation to further cur
tail the liquor traffic in the State. while
the Democrats, fearful of prohibition as
real issue, viii attempt to curb and
mold in check the well-known prohibition
sentiments of Judge Mann.
The candidate, whose personal senti-
mcnts would tend to render the State
as dry as a bone, Will thus be in the
position OF a man between two fires
The real issue viii probably lie In whether
his ambition TO become governor Of Vir-
ginia is stronger than his sentiment TO see
Virginia a full-hedged prohibition State.
