e5 PATIENTS AT cATAWBA
Sanatorium VIII Soon BE Filled to Ca

According TO DR. w. D. Tewksbery
resident physician at Catawba Sana-
torium, ninety-hve patients are now
under treatment at the States young
est hospital, and by Christmas, 1t is
predicted that there will not be va
cant bed at the sanatorium, though
vacancies Will be frequent In the flu
ture, as patients arc cured and leave
the sanatorum.
The officials OF the State Health De-
partment express entire satisfaction
with the treatment at Catawba, and
declare that the sanatorium Is measur-
ing fully UP TO the standard of like
institutions in other States. They are
particularly gratitied to observe that
even during the extremely cold period
of recent weeks, almost all of the pa
tients at Catawba showed steady I'M
provement. IF Catawba had done
nothing more. said Health Commits
sioner Williams, lit would have justi-
fed the expenditure of state funds to
convince our people beyond question,
that consumption can be as easily
cured in our own State as anywhere
in the country.

PHYSICIANS FAIL

Many Subject to Arrest for Not
Properly Sealing Germ Tubes
Before Mailing.

While It is not expected that any
arrests will follow it Is nevertheless
true that the local post-office depart
ment is much exercised over the con.
tinued negligence on the part of ply
scians throughout tho State in not
nished by tho government for mailing
germs of infectious or contagious dis
eases.
1t is learned at the postof thar
hardly day goes by without some
complaint reaching tho postmaster.
For some reason or other, 1t is said,
the physicians, who should know bet
ter than any one else the danger Turk
ing in these seemingly innocent tubes,
either wilfu1ly or ncgligently fall To
properly seal them before they are
consigned to the mails on their way

It is the desire of Postmaster Allan
to give as wide publicity to the mat
ter as possible in order that the

to face with the possibilities of their
negligence. Section 4ei of the revised
statutes provides penalty Tor such
negligence. fixing a fine OF $1,000, or

each offense.
Inspector Charles II. satfell is sald
to be at work investigating some re-
cent cases. though no statement could
be obtained from him. as he is out OF
the city. He has been out OF the city
for two days, and It is thought in
some directions that he is working on
the subject. The province of the post
office department here is simply TO
make a report of each violation OF the
statute discovered TO the authorities
at Washington. who then take up tho
matter.
Commissioner Ennion G. Williams.
of the state Health Department. is
cognizant of the fact that some ply
siciaps are careless In this regard,
and he deplores IT, knowing full well
the possible danger In each one of the
tubes. The case is not new, for on
many occasions the matter has been
aired in the press.
Should tho inspector decide to take
extreme measures and swear out war
rants for the doctors whose names he
is said to have, he will make report
when he returns to Richmond. which
will probably be to-day. In the mean
while, nothing can be Hone in the case.
