Regular Nurse Needed

"One of the greatest needs to be found at present is the regular employment of nurse who will devote the portion of her time that is not taken up by the dfspennary to social service throughout the city, caring for the dispensary pa- tients in their homes and doing research work.
 ''The pavilion for the advanced cases was completed early in February, ani an appeal made to the public to equip the rooms. The responses were rapid and in less than week the equipment for the rooms was received. the majority begging given in memory of some one who had died of tuberculosis.
 "On February 10 the following named executive committee was appointed by the president of the association: Messrs. M s. Sloan, R. F. Johnston, J. M. P. Otis, the Rev. George Eaves and Dr. Cabot Lul. The first meeting of the commit tee was held February Il and Mir. G. Bowden Settle appointed as superintend- ent of the anti-tuberculosis camp.
 "On February 20 32 women gathered together and formed an auxiliary to the Anti-Tuberculosis association. Officers were elected, and 1t was decided that a campaign to enroll 1000 new members be inaugurated. The ladies further agreed to help with the sale of tickets for the Society Circus given for the benefit of the Anti-Tuberculosis association March 13, which resulted in providing a consid- erable sum of money for the benefit of the association. and all thanks are due to the faithful workers in this cause.
 ''The most recent addition to the camp Is the dining room pavilion just com pleted, which will accommodate 75 pa tients The erection of this was made possible through the generosity of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany.

State Sanitorium

It was made known to the members by Dr. B. l.. Wyman that the state sani- tOrium, for which an appropriation of S40,- eco was made by the legislature in 1907 would i'll all probability be in operation during the ensuing year. though as yet it's location has not been chosen.
 On the whole the Anti-Tuberculosis so- ciety has far surpassed Its expectations in it's accomplishments, but the work though successful so far, has only re- vealed to what extent there is need for larger and more adequate funds and fa- ciites for coping with tuberculosis. It was stated q the meeting last night that there arc at least from 3500 to 5000 per sons in the county suffering with this dfs- ease, and that over 800 of these cases prove fatal. At present the funds of the society amount to only s300 per month and it is readily evident how insufficient is tbis amount for the work.
 An attempt will be made in the near fu- ture to organize an auxiliary in Bessemer and committee composed of Dr. B. l.. Wyman, Secretary w. M. McGrath and R. F. Johnston, will make a trip to that place for the purpose of enlsting their efforts in the crusade against tuberculosis The annual report of Secretary Me- Grath on the associations work was as follows:

TALE or H0MEsICk PONY

Twelve years ago George Lawrence
rode from Menard county, Texas, to
point in Louisiana, 20 miles west
OF New Orleans. The animal ridden
was a native Texas pony. Several
times, shortly after his arrival in Lou
isiana, the pony got out of the in
closure where it was kept and started
back to Texas, one time covering SO
miles Of the way before twas caught.
Early in January, this year, the pony
was missing, and was believed to have
been stolen. Search was made at
the time, but no clue to the where
abouts of the pony could be obtained.
Then Lawrence got a letter from an
old friend in Menard county, telling
him that the pony had come back
to the plains Of Texas and had been
recognized by the brand. The animal
had gone 500 miles between the Lou
isiana point and its old home in Me
nard county, finding its way back to
its nativity after a lapse of twelve
years.

Publicity Law Badly Needed.

Connecticut, District of Columbia,
Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Michigan,
Mississippi, New Jersey, New York,
Rhode Island and Vermont, have laws
which provide specifically for the re-
porting of tuberculosis and which
make provision for the proper regis
tration Of living cases of this disease.
In fourteen other states, laws or regu-
lations Of the state boards of health
require that tuberculosis be reported
simply as one Of list of infectious
diseases. The following 28 states and
territories have no provision what
ever for the reporting or registration
of tuberculosis cases: Arizona, Alas
