Progress OF the Fight.
The crusade against the spread Of

consumption and of the simple means
which are employed in avoiding IL. A
physician who is very active in the
work OF the Houghton county Anti
Tuberculosis society yesterday dis
cussed the progress of the campaign in
copper country. He stated that the
public is now so imbued with the fear
OF consumption tndt some OF tnelf
fears are positively ridiculous. Some
who have heard of consumptives resid-
ing within their blocks have taken spe-
cial precautions and in some cases
have moved away from the immediate
vicinity. Some will cross the street

stated, however, that cases of this
kind We're only extremes. but that this
fear of consumption works some good
shows that the people are alive to the
dangers OF the disease. II is a fact
that splitting i'm a street car causes I'M
favorable comment from a number OF
passengers each time il is observed.
The danger from promiscuous splitting
is becoming better known daily and
the habit is surely being overcome.
The physicians said that there are

with the disease have been restored to
health by following the society's rules.
The great fight is gaining ground
steadily.

says the Marine Review. The Pitts
burg Steamship company has been au-
thorized by the United States Steel
corporation to build two 600-foot
steamers for 1911 delivery. They will
be built on the sherwood system,

The announcement at the meeting Of
the board of supervisors Tuesday, by
the committee on the selection of a
site for a tuberculosis sanitarium,
that the ground on which the county
infirmary stands has been selected as
the site for the proposed building, was
the occasion for a visit by a represen-

quarters for tubercUlar patients yes
terday afternoon. These quarters are
two buildings west OF Houghton, the
property of the South Side Mining
company, which are being used until
the new hospital is erected. The build
ings were formerly dwelling houses
and have been slightly remOdeled and
repaired by the county for the care OF
the patients. Although only temper
airy the houses are well located on a
site overlooking Portage lake, and are
in charge of a trained nurse and an as
sistant.
These building have now been in use
one year. The law of Michigan re-
Quires that consumptive indigents be
kept separated from other inmates Of
county inhrmaries and that special
buildings be erected for the care of
such patients. Before the erection of
the present infirmary, consumptive
patients were kept at the county in
Urinary in a building set apart from the
others. When the new county building
was put In use the older buildings
were torn down and IL was necessary
for the county to find a new location
for its tubercular ward. For a time
the patients were kept at the detention
