VISITING NURSE
 A LIFE SAVER
How She Aids the Poor Scourged
 by Tuberculosis
(Communicated.)

Whenever the health officer makes 1 his monthly report of the health of the city, it is noted that among the pre- valent contagious diseases that tuber-
 culosis is not mentioned, but in the
 deaths. it is quite noticeable that
 out number all the other deaths by at least 2-1 Is there nothing which can prevent the spread of this conta zion Prominent medical men throughout the world have stated that the disease is curable, and that there is not a better preventative than sunshine and fresh air.
 Sunshine and fresh air? Is it found in the homes of the poor? Hardly. Yet 1t is there where the scourge is most prevalent. Why do not physi- clans look to the homes of the rich for the contagion? Because they know they will not find 1t there, knowing combat the spread. Therefore it is to the poor, amongst their large and in creasing numbers, that those who give their time and labors that others might know and live, must work.
 The poor of Bridgeport are blessed with having an organization which is striving to bring about the end, that the disease may be forever rid of these parts. It is known as the Visiting Nurse association, 8 body of estimable women which gives funds, time, att tention and instruction to the unheal- thy; a body which provides a nurse who makes visits into those ranks. The mere report Of this nurse to her employers of the number of cases which she has attended does but half tell of the errands of mercy which she, and those nurses who occasionally give their spare time to the work, per- form. In every home in which they ici< ic different c a boy wasting away with the White Plague: there a sickly little girl, who needs the attention, which worn out mother cannot give her. It's the same in every unhealthy city, for the conditions which exist in Bridgeport among the poor peC pie are not those which advance the health of the city to any marked degree. Every other city throughout the universe has the same to contend with.
 Often times the visiting nurse in her rambles comes across a case of tuber- culosis which is in too advanced stage for the little care which the nurse can give her attention, yet not too far gone that there is not a chance for recovery. Also is there found a place for this almost helpless individual The Fairfield County An tf-Tuberculosis league after it's or eanizatfon brought about the build ing of a home in Shelton, where the open air treatment is given. The san itarium there Is yet incompleted, but there are a number of advanced cases being treated, more than half of the patients being from this city. The care and attention here is given for very reasona ble sum. Where the pa tient is unable to pay, the state pays a part, while in this city the Visiting Nurse association also helps out. The patients going from this city to the Shelton home go in on the recommen- dation of the Visiting Nurse associa- tion.

MOTHERLESS BROOD
 IMPERILLED WHEN LAMP EXPL0DES
Father and Seven Children Im- prisOned on Second Floor
 of Blazing House.

A picture fell from the wall in the apartments of Louis Domovick, on the second floor of 1898 Pembroke street filled with kerosene. The oil spatter- ed about and spread like wild fire DOmovlck is a widower and was at home last night with his seven small children. The flames spread and cut off exit by means of a rear stairway leading into side yard, the only way provided for the family to reach their rooms.
 For many minutes Domovick and his brood huddled against a heavily barred door leading into rooms of Michael Gourlick on the north side frant1cally. The smoke was stifling and it was a badly frightened family that Gourlick eventually let through the door onto his side of the house.
 Before an alarm Of fire could be sounded from Box 436. fire was com ing through the roof of the building As the flames endangered the big wooden block owned by Martin Quin- Ian and located only a few feet away Chief Mooney had water used on the building.
 Domovick, an employe of the Salts Textile Co. and his motherless brood were rendered destitute by the fire which consumed their clothing, bed ding and furniture.
 The loss to the building will not ex- ceed $500. The building is owned by the Frank Miller Lumber Co. and is occupied by two families on the sec- ond floor and barber and cobblef shop on the ground floor. The shoe maker, Joseph Endaco with his wife md two childed were flooded out.
 The building was formerly owned by Andrew Grive, the absconding con- tractor who mad his CarDenter ShOn in the rear. Incendiaries burned the shop a few weeks ago after making three attempts in one night to apply the match.

SEES ROOSEVELT TO BEAT.
Texas Democrat Says He Will be
Nominee in 1912.

According to Judge George Clark, Of
Waco, Texas, Democratic leader for
many years, the man the Democratic
presidential nominee will have to face in
1912 will be Theodore Roosevelt.
Judge Clark is at the Southern on his
way home from a stay of two months in
Wisconsin and Michigan. In the old
days he was devoted admirer of Grover
Cleveland, and was nominated in 1892
/ by the Cleveland Democrats of his State
to oppose James S. Hogg, who had won
the regular nomination.
Clark made the most memorable can.
vass in the history of Texas, but was
beaten. He long since has been forgiven,
however, and for years has stood high in
the councils of his party, as he stood be-
fore his tilt with the storm tossed Hogg.
In the recent heated gubernatorial
campaign Judge Clark set out to follow
the flag of former Attorney General X.
V. Davidson He had been selected to
introduce General Davidson at the open
ing of the latter's campaign. There
was objection on the part of the David
son managers and Clark refused to have
anything to do with the formal inaugu-
ration of Davidson s battle. He prompt
ly declared his allegiance to Oscar b.
Colqutt, and when the returns we're all
in had the satisfaction OF learning that
Colquitt had run strong first and Dav-
idson weak fourth.
If anybody hugs the delusion to his
breast that Theodore Roosevelt will be
easy to beat, let him rid himself Of the
idea at once, /" said Judge Clark. He
is half Southerner and he has treated |
the race and labor questions just as
though he were all Southerner With
Roosevelt candidate for the presidency
again, | believe the Democrats would
lose Kentucky, Tennessee, Maryland
and Virginia and get severe shaking
in Georgia.
There is dynamite in that fellow and
the whole American people may as well
know it. His present tour of the West
is part of the programme. He will be
on the stage whenever his presence is
needed till the next presidential cleo
ton. All of us know what happens
when he is before the footlights.

Roosevelt will argue against a third
term The whole truth compels me to
