HEALTH NOTES.
TubercuIous Infection.
BY DIR. Jacolyn Van vIiet Manning.

There is no such disease as familial 0ns
herited) tuberculosis. Every case is con-
tracted from a previous case
The more intimate the association be-
tween the infected and the healthy the
greater the possibility OF transmission.
One tuberculosis person may infect all
members of a household unless dilisent
prophylaxis is observed. The more usual
transmission is between two occupants
Of common sleeping chamber. a hus-
band and wife, two brothers. etc. The
young bride Of a college athlete was or
dered to Colorado Springs suffering from
d small apical lung infection the hus-
band spent three months yearly with her,
contracted the disease also. and died
with great suddenness of pulmonary hem
orrhage.
The most common method OF transmits
sion is by transferrence of tubercle bacilh
contained in the secretions from the lunss
to the breathing tract of a second person.
The dry cough OF the tuberculous may
expel living bacilli which are inhaled BY
the healthy.
Splitting in the gutter is as certain
communal menace as splitting on the side
walk: dry wind will scatter the sputum
a. spore bearing and infective dust.
The dangers of the use OF a common
drinking cup are TOO obvious TO require
presentation.
The inhalation of household dust is al
ways a menace. Household dust should
never be raised on sweeping day.
Bedbugs taken from the chamber of the
tubercuous sick have been found to con-
tain the tubercle bacilli.
The conditions which predispose TO tu-
berculosis OF the lungs are lowered bodily
resistance, limited air space, lack of sun
shine. depressed mentality. deficient nu-
triton, an the indhalat!oa OF dust com
posed In part OF animal excrets.

this summer to improve in French con-

found mancurist who, having been
educated abroad. speaks French like
native. Though II may be impossible 10
tear ones SELF away from bridge, golf or
tea for the pursuit of an accomplish

not engage ir such a pursuit If 1t can be

To the manicurist this means the earn
Ing OF s2 where, without French, she
would earn but 81. In one case, in which
