Developing Immunity

Since the vast majority of children
show no difficulty whatever in the
production of immunity and only the
small minority are unable to climb up
to where the others stand, If we
could reach out a helping hand and
lift these children up to a higher
plane of resistance, their whole future
might be changed. Their ability to
resist might be so developed that i'm
munity would be permanently secured.
They would then permanently belong
to the great majority who have no
trouble whatever with tubercle bacilli.
Moreover future cases of tuberculosis
will develop with every year, every
month, and every day. How many Of
these future cases are due to expos
ure and how many are due to the de-
velopment of concealed cases Of tu-
berculosis into clinical manifestations?
The tuberculosis child of today, hid
den and concealed and unsupported
as the process be, may well be the
tuberculous adult of tomorrow. II
then we could raise the immunity of
this minority, we should cut of the
supply of the future victims of tuber-
culosis and we should practically Grad
icate the disease.
The fight against tuberculosis should
begin, then, with the children, and
should not be dependent upon out
ward manifestations nor upon any,
thing tangible. We have to fight
with conditions that cannot even be
suspected. That a child is well and
healthy has nothing to do with its
future possibility of failure. There
fore all of our chcildren should be
carefully tested as to the presence of
the tubercular infection and the abil-
ity Of the child to resist it: and if
we have reason to believe that the
child will not be able to manufacture
a sufficient immunity then we should
see to it that this child is placed I'M
der regular treatment for tubercu-
losis and given tuberculin until it
ceases to respond even to large doses.

Some Are Immune

We, call this ability. to resist u
bercle bacilli immunity. and We
mean thereby that an individual
that is perfectly immune to tubar-
Gle bacilli cannot possibly be harm
ed by them. Such an individual
could live constantly exposed and
could even have bacilli circulating
in his blood with TO more danger.
than from any other harmless D.
ganism.
1t is evident that the vast major
ity of us have acquired a more or
less perfect immunity to tubereulo-
sis or the world would be depopr-
lated. But for some reason or
other in a very small proportion Of
cases the mechanism for producing
immunity is imperfect. In this
class of cases the attack of the IN
lection is uncertain throughout life.
Immunity is not manufactured once
and for all, and being well estao'
lished forever persists. In these
cases of imperfect production OF
immunity this exemption constantly
changes from success to failure I'M
der every conceivable condition or
existence; rising when the circum-
stances are good and falling when
they are bad; so that the ultimate
outcome of the struggle is always
questionable. 1t may be that the
child of is, in perfect health and
vigor, will in the stress OF school
life, prove unequal to manufactur-
ing this immunity. or it may go
on further until the responsibilities
of later life reveal the same flaw
and thus it is that from 20 to SO
to 40 to so to so to 20 years oil
age this Unborn evil is ever liable
to manifestation. 1t may or may
not manifest itself according to the
ciro,,rnS tapcaS of life

BIG INCREASE IN

The volume of domestic commerce
on the Great Lakes during May of the

the Department of Commerce and
Labor. The freight shipments during
the month aggregated i0,S9t,220 short
tons, AN increase of "a per cent over
the shipments a year ago. This in
crease was due mainly to the larger
iron-ore shipments; the shipments of
other leading articles except lumber,
namely, flour, grain and coal, having
declined. The volume of traffic through
the Sault ste. Marie canals and the
Detroit river likewise shows a marked
increase i'm May of the present year
