r,,herculosis in Auaueta.

oTuhereulosis in Augusta" was the
subject treated by DIR. Sylvester j. Beach.
who spoke In part as follows:
one of The greatest proofs of progress
in puhlic hygiene is the fact that boards
- trade are realizing that this work is
actually a commercial and economic
problem.

difference between the tubercle baechii
and the organisms causing. other diseases.
The tubercie bacillus is germ that IN

Tins slowly and multiplies rapidly during
the long course of the disease II check
ed in its course. it is able to live for a
long time on nothing. and thus has been
more successful probably than anyone
else in solving the high cost OF living Ii
can thrive in almost any part of the
body, and also lives happily in many
domestic animals. In short, 1T has every
facility fer being universally prevalent
II is probably true that more cases oil
this disease exist in this city ana couh-
ty than we have been aware. 1t Is also
true that conditions here are Tar more
ia Vorable for the control of the disease
than in many other localities where al
most miraculous results have been OBJ
tanned In Massachusetts the death rate
from tbis disease has been cut in tive
since 1855, largely from work done i'm the
hig cities under the most unfavorabie
circumstances. The effective weapons
have been free dispensary and u DIS
trict nurse. The dispensary Is in charge
of the medical men of the town. 10 Il
patients can go for examination anu
advice The district nurse goes 1nto the
homes of the patients, enabling each one
to carry out the directions received from
the physicians. adapting them to the in
dividual home, 1t is to carry on THESE
methods here that the Augusta Anti=Tu-
berculosis Society has been organized
In this town our abrupt hills give US
natural drainage. and almost all our
houses have open spaces around them
giving the two natural enemies of the
tubercle bacillus. sunshine and clean,
dry air Furthermore, there is little des-
titution and most of our patients can al
ford the simple means necessary Tor the
treatment of this disease. 1t is noto-
rious fact that tubercular patients do
better in the winter. and most of our eli
mate is winter. We can expect with ad-
vantages of situation. climate. sunshine
and air. much better results than have
been obtained in crowded dark and dirty
cities.
Aside from the humanitarian phase,
this work is matter of dollars and
cents. If the figures given by the Board
of Health in the last two years of their
pltfa In a n
being in the prime of life at $500, which
Is certainly not high, the annual loss to
this town has been about s3o0o0. re-
duetion in this death rate of only LILO
would save $4,000, and it is estimated that
$1,000 will carry on our work From the
point of view, then. of health, money
and humanity. we should give this new
society our best support.

Address of President CARL.

The. retiring president, Eugene c.
CARL spoke in part as follows:
No experience in my life has afford
ed me greater pleasure than the honor
of serving as president of the Augusta
Board of Trade.
The officers, committees and men,
bers of this board associated with me
in the work have all attended to their
necessary duties we'll and in eongen-
ial spirit that has been perfectly de-
lishtfui. Thanks principally to their
efforts our organization is in full
strength and vigor.
The largest Board of Trade in Maine
is The Portland Board with a MEM
bership of $50. Augusta is second i'll
size with a membership of 260. 1t is 4
matter of pride that we rank so high
in board of trade activity, but Bangor.
Lewiston and other cities are making
a campaign for increased strength ana
our board must continue its growth II
our position is to be maintained.
In the two years / have served as
Your President no one remarkable
work has been done. We have enter
tanned many associations and exhihi-
tions and in each case the proper
and with results creditable to the
board and the city.
believe the value of this board is
not TO be measured by its direct work
but that the spirit of the board counts
in all matters of interest to the city.
To illustrate. this hotel is due to the
public spirit of the men of Augusta
and so is this board.
