of this dreadful and ravaging disease.
Addresses which ought to be widely
circulated as public documents made
1t plain that much as has been &C
complished. the fight against consump-
ton Is yet only just begun, says the
Boston Herald. The housing problem
which underlies 1t still needs solu-
ton. and the inadeQuately ventilated
factory Is still with us. Medical in
spection has been introduced into the
schools, but adequate school hygiene

home continue to be neutralized by
the widespread ignorance of what is
meant by wholesome food" There
are now In Massachusetts about $4,000
persons suffering from tuberculosis.
Some 5000 of them will die this year
