ADDRESSES
tuberculosis, Cause and
Cure Demonstrated
Exhibition of Work of Pupils i'm
Schools Reelected Credit on Them
and Their Teachers.

The exhibits of the educational
meeting were opened to the public al
two o'clock Friday afternoon The
drawings of the grade schools, the
pieces made in the manual training
department, and the articles made by
the girls in the sewing classes were
displayed In the municipal couxt
room. In the kindergarten room the
drawings of the rural schools were
exhibited. and in the road commits
sioner's room the tuberculosis charts
and pictures were hung. In this last
exhibit there were 1872 charts and pic
lures, demonstrating the essential
and contributory causes of tuberculo-
sis, tho read of the infection. the
prevei Il of. the cure of, and the
fearful. cost of the disease.
One chart stated that the disease
can be cured. From 1892 to 1906 the
number of deaths annually was de-
creased from 1852 to 915 in the State
of Maine. In the Maine Sanatorium
from June 1907 to 1908 there were
l06 patients; six of these cases which
we're incipient were arrested, sixty
OLA luOueTdtcly duVdHCeu were al :
rested or much improved, and five
per cent of thirty-four far advanced
cases were arrested. This last state
ment Is to show that If taken in time
cases of tuberculosis can be readily
cured, but IL allowed to advance into
the more serious and dangerous
stages they will be stubborn in sub
mitting to treatment, IL indeed, they
can be helped at all.
Foul air, dark bed rooms, sinking
backyards. filthy expectoration in pub
lie places, and shameless lack of prop
er hygienic conditions In many towns
and cities were shown to be the SOW
ers OF the fatal seed of the dreadful
white plague. Mention was also
made OF the condemned public drink
ing cup, and unclean telephone
mouthpieces.
open air treatment was illustrated
by views of life at the Maine Sana-
torium, and there were also pictures
showing how to get fresh, pure air
at home night and day, by means of
tents and similar smaller contriv-
ances.
1t was suggested strongly In some
or the charts how the disease may be
spread by consumptiye grocers, bak-
ers or butchers,
