TUBERCULOSIS EXHIBITION.
What the state Board Of Health Is
Doing.

The tuberculosis exhibition prepared
by the state board Of health and which
is being shown at various places in the
state, owes its existence TO an act Of
the recent legislature which allows the
board to expend two thousand dollars
tS2000) annually in an educational cam
paign throughout the state, against til-
berculosis. The exhibition is designed
to portray as graphically az possible the
factors in the causation and spread Of
the disease, to show its nature and dis
tribution, and to teach the methods OF
preventing and combating il. II has
been the aim to make everything as
simple and readily understood as pos
sible and models have been used largely
to illustrate the features that are de.
sired to be shown. There is, for exam
pie, a model house similar to an ordinary
farmhouse illustrating some Of the
things that render a room sanitary or
unssnitary, and there are models Of
porehes that can be readily built ada
cent to any house, and used as sleeping
rooms. There is a model tent, Of the
kind used in the Ray Brook sanitorium,
for the use Of the patients, and full
sized window tent showing how one can
get the benefit Of fresh, pure air In any
room, during sleeping hours, while avoid
ing the discnmforts Of too cold room.
Another feature is a collection of speci-
mems from various parts Of the bodies
Of cattle that have been killed after
the tnbcrculin test, showing how the dis
ease may affect the different organs
After seeing these, one Is apt to think
more seriously Of the possibility OF
transmitting disease through the medi-
um Of the food. A series Of X.ray PIC
lures Of the human chest shows how this
peculiar light can be used In discovering
signs Of consumption. and also Illus
trates a type Of photograph that is new

clock that strikes as frequently az a
person dies. on an average. from this
disease, in the United States, and the
frequently with which ii does strike Is
rather surprising These, and other fea-
lures occupy the floor space, while the
walls are covered with charts, maps,
photographs, pictures, and cards bearing
bits OF advice, instruction. or warning,
bearing on the various phases Of the
disease.
While the main purpose Of the exhibi-
tion is to give instruction, It is hoped
that It may be given in an interesting
manner, and the exhibition IS accom-
panied by phonograph that gives forth
popular musical selections, interspersed
with talks upon the subject of cousump.

been held is az Burlington, where it was
