HAVE SUCCESS IN
Fight WITH DEATH
ONE INSTITUTION Or oRGANIZA-
TON ESTABLISH EVERY
DAY TO FIGHT TuRERcU-
LOSS.

New York, Nov. 1Is--During the year
that has passed since the International
Congress on Tuberculosis met at Wash
ington, one Institution or organization
for the treatment or prevention OF tu-
berculosis has been established every
day, Sundays and holidays included,
according to bulletin OF the National
association for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis. Fifteen new beds
in hospitals or sanatoria have been
provided also for every day Of the year
A year ago the rate Of increase was
one organization or institution every
other day. only one-half as fast as
now. Less than a year ago there were
40 consumptives for every hospital bed
provided. Today the number has been
reduced to 30. Nearly 10000 beds are
now provided in institutions for the
treatment of consumption, an increase
of over $500. The number OF special
tuberculosis dispensaries in the United
States has more than doubled, the
number of anti-tuberculosis associa-
tons has increased So per cent, and
the number of hospitals and sanaboria,
40 per cent.
In one branch OF anti-tuberculosis
work, particularly emphasized by the
international congress, a signal adj
vance has been made, that is, in the
provision OF hospital accommodations
for advanced cases. In all parts of
the country, state and municipal au-
thorities have been urged to provide
hospitals for dangerous cases Of tu-
berculosis, with the result that over
1000 beds have been established in the
past year. At the present time there
are. however, only 5000 beds and 5000
advanced cases which ought to De in
hospitals. Fully $4,000 others could
be treated at home, but 1t would De
safer for the community to segregate
them in institutions Every advanced
case of tuberculosis is center from
which the disease spreads, and unless
the patient is taught how to be care
full in his habits, and unless he has the
proper home surroundings, he should
be in a hospital where he will not be
a menace to others.
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
declares that at least 10000 more beds
in hospitals are needed for advanced
cases OF consumption. Until these are
provided, tuberculosis cannot be wiped
out. If everybody in the United States
gave IS to provide hospitals for the
dangerous consumptives, sufficient
funds would be procured to destroy
forever the threat of tuberculosis from
this country.

Result of Observation.

Tit-Bits.--A little girl from an East
End slum was invited, with others, to

In the West End of London
In the course Of the meal the little
maiden startled her hostess and the
aristocratic company by solemnly pro-
pounding the query:
Does your husband drink7"
why, no." replied the astonished
mistress of the house.
After moments pause the miniature
querist proceeded with tine equally be-
wildering question:
How much coal do you burn? What
Is your husbands salary? Has your
husband any bad habits? Does your
son so to work."
BY this time the presiding genius OF
the table felt called upon to ask her
humble guest what made her put sucf1
strange questions.

mother told me to behave like a lady.
