The annual meeting of the board or lady visitors of the William w. Back Us hospital was held at the nurses 'lone on Thursday afternoon. The special feature of the meeting was an address by Dr. Rush W. Kimban up- on Tuberculosis. This is an immense subject and problem. The disease IS spread over all the centuries and Tn every country, where it has at times amounted to q scourge. There are two essential things for it's development, seed and soil Practically little was known concerning 1t until 1882 when These. although nicroscopic in sizs, are potent in effect Billions of them may be present in one victim.
 Infectious and Contagious.
 Tuberculosis Is infectious. contag 5ous and also communicable It is not inherited The cases or Wnoie IaInliles or of several generations having It IS probab7y due to mass infection or house contamination. Some tenements are a sot.rce of disease. There are two channels by which IL enters the body air and food It is essentially an indoor disease and therefore the great remedy for it is outdoor life; This recognition Of the open aid treatment marks the second epoch tn the stage Of knowledge upon the subject-the dts- covery of the germ being the first. The most complete and finest village community for the cure Of patients in the world is aI Sa-anac lake m the Adirondacks where conditions are made so hvgienic that those not haV- ing .he disease may live in the midst of the others without danger of con tracing f..
 important 10 Start Early.
 Too great importance cannot be placed upon finding the early symp- toms of tuberculosis. The secret of cure is in its early recognition, for then 50 to TO per cent of the cases can be cured After it has developed into the second stage of the disease,

it becomes i1,curable. It may be ar rested for some time, but there is no
 permanent cure. It is more likely to occur in persons between 15 and 35 years of age. Anyone of this age who 1 is running down in health, losing weight, and with 9 cough, should be looked after closely, for these are the three early symptoms of the disease. The whole country is rouSing to fight tuberculosis.
 Work Here.
 Here in Norwich the Red Cross so- ciety has started the campaign and succeeded in getting the state sana- toriufn for the county This inStitu- ton will form the nucleus of the fight. It will receive both the early cases, which are less dangerous. and the old CT cases, which are fruitful sources of danger to the community many tines. It will be an educational center and the educational side is the one most needing development now.
 The patient needs to learn regard for others by proper isolation of in'self should be kept separate. A careful and conscientious person may in this way be no menace to those around him. JIe should also learn about proper food, which is almost as esse;i- tial as outdoor air.
 Bone Tuberculosis from Impure Milk
 Many eases of bone tuberculosis are found in children and are due often b impure milk. Seaside hospitals are found best for these cases. The wage earners here in the city are already organizing to put themselves in touch with the sanatorium. An exhibit is being planned for some time in the future and an anti tuberculosis society might tio good work-if forrned-in providing a dispensary and visiting nurse for home cases.
 Many questions were asked Dr. Kim ball by the ladIes and plans also made for the Christmas entertainment of the patients in the Rackus hospital

AT THE AUDITORIUM.
Vaudeville and Motion Picture,


 There is q. spice of 8 pleasing va riety in the three caudeville turns at the Auditorium, which opened there on Thursday for the balance of the week, and each enters into the com bination to make the show one of the headliners of the season. Tama, ori- ental juggler, works with a stageful of fixtures, from which he brings out many novel juggling tricks new to the local public. who give him a big hand for his neat work.
 For musical number there is Louis Gr0not, whistling virtuosO, whose only aids are his hands to produce the re- narkabIe programme of melody which he gives and which brings out hearty bursts of applause from his hearers At the climax of his fine performance he gives the difficult Poet and Peasant overture.
 Where the comedy comes in to bal ance up the bill is with Allen. Byron and Blanche. in their roaring farce en- titled The Tin Wedding. This goes with Q roar of fun from first to last, in which the capable cast of three shines brightly and comes back for a flat tering curtain call. In moving pie lures the subjects are well selected and the films clearly shown with the new French lense that has lately been in stalled in the picture machine.

DEATH RATE IN THIS STATE. Norwich Does Not Rank as High as
 Many of the Cities.

The slight increase in the death rate for 1910 does not, say the officials of the census bureau, necessarily indi- cate more unfavorable sanitary condi- tions than during 1909. It is pointed out that the registration area has been subject to considerable change, in volving a encouragement of the sub divisions.
 Based on the number of deaths from all causes, exclusive of still-births, a general death rate of 14.7 per 1000 of population for the entire United States is shown. For Connecticut the death rate of the state at large is given as 15-6 per 1000 of population. and for certain cities in the state as follows: Middletown 25.6, New London 17.9. Hartford 11.6, Norwich. IT. Greenwich 16.5, Stamford Is, New Britain 15.6, >5Eindham (town) 15-6. Waterbury 15.5, Norwalk 15.1, Danbury 14s.

 New Hampshire and the lowest in the state of Washington. New Hampshire has a rate Of 17.3 and Washington a rate of 10 deaths per 1000 of poDula- tlOn.
 The Anglers Bait.
 A well known angler at PetersboT- ough having obtained 3 wasp's nest containing 8 large number of grubs. placed the nest in the kitchen oven to kill the grubs so that he could use them for bait The next morning he went to get the grubs, but on opening the oven door a swarm of wasps flew out The oven was not hot enough to kill the grubs. but was sufficiently warm to hatch them.-Lopdon Daily Mail.
