Charles r. Heike, Secretary Of the
Sugar Trust, must stand trial OF an
indictment for violation of the custom
law in connection with the fraudulent
importation of sugar and for conspiracy.
Since the indictments were returned
some time ago, every legal obstacle
has been placed in the way of the
trial by the trust and the matter has
been taken TO the Supreme court of
the United States. A decision just
handed down there makes it positively
certain that the official, with FIVE other
employees of the trust will be tried in
the near future. SO the administra-
ton is doing a little trust busting as

cent Of school children in large cities
are infected with tuberculosis. Tins
infection took place usually IN hoinc
and nto in the school. but the badly ven
lated school room, by lowering the
child's vitality, allowed the germs to
become active. In proof of this state
ment DR.. Stoll referred TO l47 children
recently examined by him, In which the
question of exposure TO tuberculosis III
the home was very carefully inNesti'
yated. By the use of tubcrculin II was
ascertained that ~ per cent. of the
children from tuberculosis homes wer"
infected as against only 20 percent of
those from supposedly healthy homes.
II was also found that so percent of the
frail children from healthy homes had
the germs Of the disease, but that only
10 percent Of the robust children from
similar homes were thus affected.

Gated today by DIR. A. NJ. Forster OF
Louisville before the Sociological Sec.
ton of the National Association for the
study and Prevention OF Tuberculosis
now in It's sixth annual meeting. His
subject was that the best kind Of EN-
, ployment for tuberculosis cases, who
when discharged from hospitals and
sanitoria, relapse into their former con
dition because of bad environment.
DIR. Forster demonstrated that the
present machinery in the a~nti.tubercu
losis campaign was inadequate and thai
il did not provide for the tuberculosis
sufferer at the most critical time in hi
existence-when he left the sanatoriun
or hospital. In view of this fact, h'
advocated that institutions in which tn
berculosis cases were treated should b.
equipped with large farms upon which
the convalescent c~onsumptives nigh
learn the rudimcnts of agriculture. II,
, stated that in his opinion farming wa
the most suitable work that a cured con
sumptive could attempt.
DR.. Forster therefore advocated tina
large colonies of consumptives fathere'
from sanatoria in all parts of the Unite'
states should be formed in the south
west on land which could be irrigated
with comparatively little expense AM
that there they should live and worl
for the rest of their lives.
