SUNLIGHT IS ENEMY OF
 CONSUMPTION
No Medicine That Comes Ont of a Bottle
 Will Cure The Disease Address by
 Dr. Day.

Sunlight and fresh air are the greatest enemies of the tubercular germ outside of the human body The sputum of the consumptive is the greatest agency of transmission The old belief of inheriting disease has been dlsproved and even the transmission of the tendency of disease is doubted Persons engaged in the occupations of stone cutting. grinding polishing. weaving and the like are predisposed to consumption" said Dr. Fessenden F. Day in a talk upon tuberculosis be- fore the Young Mems Club of the West End Congregational church last night
 As proof that sunlight and fresh air are preyentives of the disease he said that tuberculosis was rarely found in animals and birds who roam wild.
 'As far back as 800 years. B. B. he said. pulmonary tuberculosis was known. but it was not until 27 years ago that the cause of it was discover ed. It remained for Robert Koch, a health officer in an obscure German village to discover the germ, which is one-thouSandth of an inch in slze''
 The speaker stated that tuberculosis is preventable curable, and is also communicable A healthy person may contract tuberculosis in three ways, by inhalation, by swallowing food con- taining the germs. or through an open wound. InocQlation by the latter means is very rare.
 The doctor said that no medicine that ever came out of a bottle would cure the disease. Although there had been no arrests for splitting on tha sidewalks. the doctor sail he thought the signs placed about the city by the board of health had done good because they drew attention to the city ordi- nance forbidding approximation.
 There was 8 large attendance de- spite the inclemency of the weather.

Charcoal Purifies

 Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges go into the mouth and transfer foul odors at once into oxygen, absorb noxious gases and acids and when swallowed mix with the digestive juices and stop gas making, fermentation ana decay.
 By their gentle qualities they control beneficially bowel action and stop Giarrhoea and constipation.
 Bad breath simply cannot exist when charcoal is used. There are no ifs or ands about this statement. Don't take our word for it, but look into the matter yourself. Ask your druggist or physician, or better still, look up charcoal in your encyclopedia. The beauty of Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges is that the highest pharmaceutical ex- part knowledge obtainable has been used to prepare lozenge that VIII give to man the best form of charcoal for use.
 Pure willow and honey is the result. Two or three after meals and at bed- time sweeten the breath, stop decay of teeth. aid the digestive apparatus and promote perfect bowel action. They enrich the supply of axygen to the sys- tenn and thereby revivify the blood and nerves.

would naturally include within it's ac- tivftfes the investigation of many problems connected with epidemic and infectious diseases of children and other dangers to their health.
 But a children's bureau would seek to promote the health, vigor, physical we'll being and efficiency of children, and would thus begin where a health
 bureau ends. It would utilize the re- suits of all investigations by Labor Bureau, Census Bureau and Health Bureau, SO far as they bear upon the welfare of children. It would direct ly concern itself with the improvement of the human race by the improvement of it's physical and mental stock. Even the Bureau of Education, however ac- tive and efficient in may become, can- not cover the wide range of activities which would naturally devolve upon the children's bureau. Orphanage, il- race suicide and race degeneracy, child dependency, juvenile delinquency with all it's attendant issues of children's courts, reformatory, probation and par ential schools. and the more complete specializing of the public school sys- tenn, with the broad issues which this involves are among the problems which which are of national importance, and which in the degree and manner pro. posed are clearly within the constitu. tional province of the Federal Govern ment.
 1t is not suggested that the national government should take up all or per- hap any of these subjects for direct remedial or preventive legislation. Re- search and publicity, on lines strictly analogous to the well established ac- tivities of many existing bureaus is the aim of those who advocate the children's bureau.
