To
TUBERCULOSIS
EXHIBIT FREE
Mayor BoIIschweiIIer and
Or. William E. Ramsay Were
Speakers Last Night.
DEMONSTRATIONS GIVEN
BY Mr.. MUlRHEAD

With Mayor Bollschweiler and DR..
William e. Ramsay, of this city, as
the speakers Of the evening a very
interesting and instructive hour was
enjoyed at the tuberculosis exhibit at
1877 Smith street last night in rela-
ton to the present day campaign
against the white plague" An in
troductory talk was given by George
Muirhead, the demonstrator in
charge of the exhibit, who showed
the situation by means of cleverly
arranged charts.
Speaking for the city Of Perth AM
boy, Mayor Bollschweiler urged all
present to aid the local campaign by
their personal efforts. The rules of
prevention and cure as explained by
Mr.. Muirhead, he said, are too sim
pie to be ignored, and 1t is the least
that we can do to heed them. The
mayor urged all to tell their friends
to visit the exhibit and to assist in
the local campaign by the purchase
of Red Cross seals.
DR.. Ramsay gave the situation
from physicians viewpoint. He
showed the work that was being
done throughout the country, how
the disease Is bred, how it progresses
and how it may be cured.
One man was so interested In last
nights discourse that he went home
and got his family to have the vari-
Gus points in relation to tuberculosis
explained to them. DR.. Ramsay
showed that tuberculosis Is not he
reditary and that 1t is impossible for
perfectly g~lnd person to acquire
1t. 1t iss a germ disease which finds
foothold In persons of weak consti-
tuition. The most frequent means
of spreading the disease Is from the
spitum of persons already affected
by 1t. IL this falls on the floor or
other points where it can dry and
become dust, this dust floating in the
air, lodges in the lungs of some
person whose breathing apparatus
has become irritated by coughing,
colds Or other causes, and breeds
| tuberculosis.
The Woman's Club committee
which is in charge of the exhibit
here, requests that the ministers of
all denominations announce to their
congregations next Sunday the fact
| that the exhibit Is here and urge all
to attend 1t.
The exhibit is open both day and
, evenings. Admission is free. An in
teresting talk in popular form is
given from> time to time by Mr.. Muir
head on the cause, cure and spread
of the disease, and no true citizen of
Perth Amboy should let the tubercu-
losis exhibit depart without viewing
its features. The future improve
ment of the health of the citizens of
this city depends upon their coopera-

will be one of the largest as well as
most modern powerhouses In the
East. The main portion will be of
the latest structural iron construc-
tion, bricked in, in the most service
able as well as attractive style. The
main building will be 200x200 feet

Supt. of Anchorage Favors
Local Quarantine Plan.

That a restricted quarantine sta
tion will be established here seems
evident from the action taken by all
those interested in the project. The
superintendent of anchorage, of New
York, has been here on board the
revenue cutter Manhattan and in
company with Federal Health officer
C. w. Naulty, Jr., has traversed the
chosen site for the proposed station.
He seems in favor of establishing the
anchorage there and 1t seems only a
question of a short time 1t will take
to bring the subject before the pro-
per authorities at Washington be-
fore the wish will be granted.
DR.. Naulty has Interested the local
pilots, who thoroughly approve of
the idea and he is now securing the
support of the large manufactures
along the sound. To whom the sub
iect has been broached 1t appears to
have met with almost instant approv-
al and there are no reasons why at
this time the grant should not be
made.
The feasibility of the project was
thoroughly discussed between DR..
Naulty and the New York superinten-
dent of anchorage upon his visit here
last Thursday. Every argument ap-
peared to favor it.
