ARE OPTIMlSTIS
FOR THE FUTURE.
AWAKENED INTEREST OF PEOPLE
IN THEIR HEALTH.

Richmond, Va.-Optimism for better
health is the keynote to the latest
number of the Virginia Health Bulle-
tin, just issued by the State Depart
ment of Health. According to the var
ious articles published in the bulletin,
the State State is awakening to the
movement for better health, and is re-
spending to the appeals of local health
authorities.
The opening of the Catawba Sanato-
rum, and the success which is attend
ing the States treatment of tubercu-
losis are dwelt upon at length. The
Health Department also announces the
preliminary results in the campaign
against typhoid fever, and explains
how the problem can be successfully
combatted in the future.
A special diphtheria warning has
been issued by the Health Department,
together with an announcement that
various counties in the State have made
arrangements by which they propose
to supply antltoxin free to INDECENT
cases. The bulletin states that diph-
liberia may be expected tosappear in
epidemic form during the next few
months and should, in consequence, be
carefully watched by local authorities.
This bulletin is the sixteenth in the
series issued monthly by. the Health
Department The bulletin is sent to
anyone free upon request.

Start Survey of New Line to Wash
1ngton.

Engineers are in the field near Ash
land surveying a line for railway,
which will be a continuation of the
Richmond and Chesapeake Bay rail-
road, into Washington. After the
route has been established from Ash
to the national capital, second line
will be laid off at right angles and run
ming eastward to the Chesapeake Bay.
From Richmond city to Washington
the line will be about lis miles long,
and the new road practically parallel
ing the Richmond, Fredericksburg and
Potomac railway, will be of immense
advantage and value to the State and
to the South generally, since it will
open another direct route from the
North and Northeast, all of the South
ern traffic from those sections being
now confined to the Richmond, Fred
efcksburg and Potomac tracks.
ActuaI- construction will probably
begin early next spring, it being be-
lieved that the engineers estimates
will be completed by that time.
