 Aggressive in tone. sincere in its doc urine of health and sanitation, and en- mity to the great white plasus. the November issue of 'aThe Key" the mag asins Of the Montgomery Anti.Tuser- cuiosis League. sis ready for distribu- ton.
 The Key for November is signalised by the presence of an editorial In which the alleged failure of oovernor Conner to authorize the expenditure of the money appropriated by the Leg isiature in 1907 for State tuberculosis sanitarium. The act appropriating the money for the sanitartum was passed, and now occupies. and has occupied for two years. four pages of the Political Code, according to the editorial. It -At meeting ef the state MsdlsA, Association last year 0evernor Conner spoke with pride on the Sanatoriun. and everyone thought it was an early reality. The Governor has gone 90 far as to appoint the trustees of the in- stitution. He himself is the chairmap and they anxiously await his call. The law commands the trustees to proceed at once with the selection of the build- ing sites and the erection of the tnstt- tuition. But they Ind themselves tied by the refusal of the Governor to act.
 As h to rebuke the silence Of the Governor in this important matter. t is noted that In the city of Montgom- cry during the year ending september 90, 1908, there was but one death from alcoholism. while no less than eighty three people succumbed to tubercu- iosis. The question naturally suggests itself: Is the special election now on in Alabama. with its enormous ex- pense to the State. responsible for the total neglect of the consumptivss.
 Other articles of note in The Key in- clude one on Peiisgra. one sn the ne cessity of city ordinance comprising building laws. which will eliminate unsapitary novels. in which. 1t ts claimed, many of the poorer people of Montgomery must live, and suffer be- cause of the lack of ventilation and cleanliness.
 The need of state hospital for con. sumptives is further stressed in an ar- ticle by Miss Della Mohr. and another article tells of the care which should be exercised in the treatment of con> sumptives. %
 Of the work of the League aaa the progress which 1t has accomplished. The Key says:
 The League this year has been in . very prosperous condition. and has, we believe. done great deal of good. The number of deaths from tuberculosis In 1908 were 1ol, and In 1908, eighty three. Of course the League does not take the credit of all that this implies. but we do feel that some of tt is due to the educational campaign that has been carried on by it's members dur tng the past eighteen months
 A y"The nurse for the League during the month of August had upon her visiting list fifteen patients, eleven Of whom were nsgvoes. The total num- Der of visits made during this month were 200. At the present time the nurse has upon her visiting list eigh- teen patients. six of whom are white. and to whom 8 total number of 1900 visits will be made by the 1st of No- vsmber. The names of the patients that are given to us are not made pub lie. The nurse keAps the names and addresses. of the patients In her book and resorts daily to the League what she has done and asks for further tn- structions. l's'stl saul
 sIf the League continues to grow and the work continues to show as ii has done in the past it is our ultimate object to establish an out-door sanito- rum for these people whose circum- stances are such that they are unable to leave their homes and their business te take treatment In other ciimaes.
