The rivers eat away their banks,

But moths the diet record hold,
Because they eat a hole!

when he declares that tuberculosis can
be cured you may accept his word
wholly and completely, and then begin
in what wa you Ear to help him.
This tremendous battle against the
dreaded disease is not going to be won
by a show of interest or a waving Of
the arms and saying presto" Vic
tory can only be accomplished by the
cooperation of every man, woman and
child, and New Jerseys very first step
be to obtain hospitals or isolation
homes for those in the advanced stages
of the disease. DR.. Henry H. Davis
said yesterday at New Jersey Day"
of the International tuberculosis Exhl-
bition:
1.-THE establishment of a State sana-
forum for advanced stages of tuber-
culosis is an absolute necessity. I be-
lieve hat in no other way can so much
good be done. If 1t had been your
province, as 1t has been mine, to see
individual cases of suffering. we would
raise enough today to start a right
good tuberculosis camp. To stamp out
effectually consumption, advanced cases
must receive immediate attention. The
State institution for incipient cases at
Glen Gardner is a model of its kind,
but, my friends, how nan cases Of
consumption are recognized in the in
cipient stages? The disease works In
wardly, and who can tell when It
energies from the incipient to the ad-
vanced stage?"
