TUBERCULOSIS EXHIBIT.
To Be Given in Westminster High
School Beginning May IL.

How much does the average person
know about tuberculosis? There are
some who know that tuberculosis and
consumption are about the same thing
and that the disease is the worst dis
ease known to the human race. There
are some people who say that they
don't care to know anything about
it--that they haven't got it and they
don't want It. But no matter what
people think, ignorance Of some OF
the primary facts OF consumption is
a pretty expensive privilege. The
man who refuses 10 avail himself OF
certain known facts which vitality ef-
feet his health and happiness is very
foolish, to say the least For in-
stance, II has now been proven that
consumption Is n preventabIe disease
and that 1t is possible to lessen
greatly the danger from II by taking
advantage OF few simple precaution-
ary measures which every schooiboy
should know. People are now be-
coming more intelligent on these
things, and as n result the death rate
from consumption Is being lowered.
especially In those communities which
have been the most enlightened.
This subject will be brought home
to the people OF Westminster when
tho travelling exhibit OF the Maryland
Association for the Prevention and
Relief OF Tuberculosis Is brought to
the high school for the week May II.
Popular lectures. illustrated BY the
siereoptieon. will be given. Every
thing will be free 10 tho public. All
together. this will be an excellent OPP
portdnity to obtain reliable informa-
lion regarding this disease at the
hands Of perts--information which
can be applied 10 everyday life De
tailed announcements Will be made

called the meeting to order, and gave
his reasons for asking them to meet
him. The flrst subject touched upon
was that of good roads. and the COM
missioners were asked what the coun-
ties were doing In this matter. The
Governor said that this entire work
should not be left 10 the State, but
that the counties should build later
al roads, and use modern business
methods both In building new ones
and In repairing old ones lie thought
the wisest policy would be 70 leave
this matter In the hands of non-part-
fh3A VOAIUHf
Governor Crothers next spoke Of
the expense OF administration IN the
different counties. and suggested
several ways IN which money may be
saved. He alluded 10 the many local
laws Of the different counties. and sug-
gested that snme uniform system of
county government be adopted.
After general discussion OF nearly
an hour. motion was adopted auth
