First; The germ becomes hard and
inactive and viii never trouble you.
Second: That the germ becomes
fstty and is harmless.
Third: That the germ takes on
hard, Imy condition and becomes
inert
This is brought about by plentiful
supply of fresh air, so / now say to
you in conclusion, that when you rest
at night, open up the doors and move
your bed up to the open window. Do
this and you will keep we'll. Another
thing, provide for your table the most
nOurishing food you are able to get"
Rabbi Sehwarz Spoke.
Rabbi Jacob D. Schwarz next adj
dressed the gathering and said in
part: The church does and must
needs concern itself with the simple
welfare of men; with the care of the
body, because as well all know, I'M
less there is a healthy body, there
cannot be a healthy mind and
healthy soul, and we surely cannot
hope for a clean mind unless atten-
ton is given TO the care of the body
and right living. But what has this to
do with tuberculosis? 1t has this:
tuberculosis, as has been said here
every day, is a social disease, that is
a
social conditions and is due to the
want Of proper or correct living, and
the spread of the disease is due, first,
10 the existing opportunities for infec-
ton, the conditions under which con-
sumption is spread and carried from
one person to another. All this IS
social problem. II is generally known
to be fact that consum ption is not
Inherited, and If it is not inherited,
it can be prevented simply by living
properly. The things that help to
spread this disease are in some cases
in the work shop, by Dad factory
conditions and the like, and today
tIis question is a social question be-
cause the danger Of infection and
spread is due to the social condition,
which as 1 said before can easily be
remedied.
I'VE should pay more attention to
these things; Even in in & Soor ehn os6tiis
ton as well as in public buildings.
1T is purely a matter for tae people
themselves to settle, whether to help
the spread of the disease or TO ward
1t on or prevent il by living proper
~ Rabbi Schwarz said again: Let
Us look more closely into our work
shop conditions, operate them on
healthy lines; also our churches and !
public buildings. We should take care
not to help to spread and nurture the |
germ Of disease, but let us encourage |
each other to work out this problem |
in the proper and simple way of right |
living, not only in the way of fresh /
air, but in the food we eat not nee /
essarily extravagant food, but good, |
healthy food. There is /
no excuse. There is fresh air, plenty |
for all and we should see to it that |
we all get our share, our neighbor |
as we'll as ourselves. Let US do all we /
can in this way, and we shall have |
helped this campaign in the battle |
against this disease
The session closed with an address
by Mr.. Francis Mclean, OF the Assoc
ciated Charities, who placed great en- !
phasis on the fact that so many poor |
families who depended on their daily /
laboTS for sustenanCe, would not see /
the question in the way we did; that |
a family depended upon
some one member who possibly had
this disease, and could not afford to /
stop to be cured, and that the only
way was to help them to help them
selves from the charitable side of the
question.
At the eight o'clock session. which
was presided over by Rev. J. w. Sen
erfitt. the opening address was deIiv-
cred by Rev. G. P. Hall, who by way
Of opening. told a very interesting
3necdote, with regard to the allah
5CTbing question. He said: Several
