GUARDING AGAINST DISEASE.

Those at the head Of the crusade
against tuberculosis claim that the
first requisite III stamping out the DIS
ease is the reporting Of cases. They
maintain that consumption Is TO De
classed with smallpox and other infec-
tious diseases. They maintain that
the health authorities are powerless
TO remove the danger of the disease
until they are made aware OF Its pres
ence. One Of the states where there
is infective regulation applied to this
disease In Utah and the absence OF
rigid regulation is something the pres
ent legislature should correct The
women of the local clubs should urge
the legislature to take action.
The most decided step in the regis
tration of tuberculosis was taken in
1904 by the State of Maryland, where
a law was passed compelling the re-
porting of this disease, and inilictine
a heavy fine for noncompliance. This
law requires that the State Board OF
Health pay 81 90 TO every physician
reporting a case of tuberculosis. and
also that it furnish him With litera-
ture and preventive supplies for the
use OF his patients. This measure was
Influenced by the success of move
ment started in New York city in
1897. to compel the reporting of tu-
6erculosis. In 19cS laws modelled
somewhat after the Maryland law were
passed in New York state and the Dis
trict of Columbia The State of Yer
mont had passed a registration law In
1902, and In Washington it had been
a law that tuberculosis be reported in
the first and second class cities as ear
ly as 1899. These laws had. however.
never been Of much service, and few
new cases were secured through them.

outlining the naval building programs
OF the chief foreign powers for tho

correspondent OF the Now York Sun:
at shows that during the last year
the policy of building battleships of
large displacement and high speed,
with main battery guns of the largest
caliber. has been universally continued
and all navies are now engaged In or
have authorized the construction oil

land, France. Germany. Russia, Italy,
japan. Brazil and the Argentine Re-
public, besides the United States.
"The displacements of the later bat
tleships range from. 10000 to $4,000
tons at designed displacement; the
number of large calIber guns mounted
varies from ten to twelve, and the
torpedo defense. or lesser batteries.

to six inches. While England, Germany

tIon-has -heanin- a measure sacrificed
to speed. E
"In addition to these flghting shops
intended for the line of battle, all ma
vies are building scouts or unarmored
cruisers OF displacements ranging
from $500 to 5000 tons, lightly armed
but of very high speed, 23 to &c knots,
as well torpedo craft, which term
includes destroyers, torpedo boats, and
submarines
England is now building q number
OF destroyers Of more than 900 tons

speed, about q knots, but with much
improved, seagoing qualities,
Germany is building destroyers OF
about ESQ tons displacement and 30 to
SO knots speed; and Japan is reported
to be building a destroyer of LOO tons
and go knots speed
Submarines are being built In all
countries, and here again the tendency
Is toward increase in size and speed"
