the AAIll=IUBERCU[OSIs
LEAGUE WELL PLEASED
WITH WHAT Sheen DONE

The following report was made at
the Anti-Tuberculosis meeting here
yesterday:
At the last meeting of the State
League the local league was practi-
cally in its infancy and We We're able
10 furnish but meagre report.
,. We are glad today to feel able to
say that We have accomplished
something during the past year and
the work has been steadily growing.
We have been extremely gratitied at
the growing interest manifested not
only among those afflicted but by the
public in general.
Every appeal for assistance has
met with most generous response.
We have found other organizations
most ready and willing to cooperate
with u.s. The Elks. the Associated
Charities and the Salvation Army
have done much relief work for us.
The health department now fumi-
gates at our request all homes that
have been vacated by tuberculosis
families.
Thanks to the kindness Of the To-
cal Graduate Nurses Association, the
visiting nurse has been supplied with
a well-eQuipped linen closet from
which bed linen, blankets. etc, are
loaned to poor patients in case of
emergency. The society stands ready
to repienish the closet when neceS-
sary and it has greatly facilitated
the work of the visiting nurse. The
same generous society furnishes SAN
itary' SPECTRUM cups for the patients.
We have also been able to interest
the young girls who have formed an
auxiliary league, taking as their spe-
cial part Of the work the care of the
tuberculosis children of whom we
have twenty-five in the incipient
stage This auxiliary furnishes milk
and eggs for these little ones and
has a fund of several hundred dol
lars which is to be used in the spring
to establish fresh air camp for chill
rfrerr: -------------- -.-------------
The dispensary is continuing to do
good work. During the year &c per-
sons applied for and received exam
ination and free medical treatment.
The faithfulness Of the physicians
giving their services to the dispersal
ry work has been most gratifying.
" The work up to the present time
has been done through the dispensa-
ry and the visiting nurse in the
homes of the people, but We find ma
ny cases who can not be cared for in
this manner and every day the need
for a small local sanatorium is be-
coming more and more evident and
! by early summer we expect to make
this sanatorium a reality and this
together with our fresh air camp for
incipient tuberculosis children
which, as have said, has been pro-
vided for by our girls auxiliary, will
enable us to do better and more eff
fCctive work than ever before
We feel that the people Of Char
lesion are at last awake to the i'm
portance Of our crusade and although
the many have accomplished nothing
wonderful, their newly awakened in
terest is bound to bring forth results
which make the outlook for the com
ing year most encouraging

Baltimore, Md, February 1G.-
Not a single Democrat would serve
as a registration official in Ellicott
City, small town 10 miles from
here, when the polling place was
open for the enrolment of voters
last week. This means that not a
single man will be able to vote and
that there will be no municipal cleo
tion in the spring. The Democrats
were evidently afraid of the two not
ohio divisions Of Judge Morris, in the
United States Circuit Court, by which
the grandfather Clause in the An

clared void and the three registra-
tion officials who denied three color
