THE skull and crossbones Of the

eddy stronger than either OF those clubs.
Is In the prime spot TO cut up some
week end didoes around these parts. The
Pirates have come into the East and
forged ahead OF the Giants. and unless
they are stopped in the next three
days they are going to hold their lead
for some time to come. The Eastern
trip was expected TO cripple the Western
teams. but instead OF that 1t has helped
them.

PHYSICIANS TO REPORT
TUBERCULOSIS CASES
Order Issued to Doctors in England,
But Publicity Is to Be
Avoided.

LONDON, November 17.-Under an
order issued last night by the local
government board every medical prac-
tttioner must after next January | re-
port every case of pulmonary tubercu-
losis that becomes known to him in
the course of his public or private
practice.
In a circular accompanying the order
1t is stated that it's object is to enable
the local authorities to assist in the
eradication of the disease. and 1t is
pointed out that the decline in the
death rate from consumption from
1925 per 10000 of population in 1881
to 1890 per 10000 in 1900 CONCEDED
with a marked increase in the act1v1-
ties of the local authorities.
Publicity is to be avoided. 1T Is,
the board states. unnecessary and
undesirable that notification should IN
volve publicity. The board has no
doubt that the local authorities and
their officers will avoid anything
which could cause pain and annoy
ance to patients or their friends. 1t
cannot be too strongly emphasized that
any records which may be kept by
medical officers of health should be
regarded as strictly confidential docu-
ments, for whose custody the medical
officers of health will be personally
responsible"
The new order completes the system
of notification which was inaugurated
in 1908 in regard to inmates of poor
law institutions, and which was ex-
tended last March to cases of con-
sumption among in-patients and out
patients of hospitals.
