Medical Side of Problem.

Discussing THE Medical Side of the
tuberculosis Problem Dr. William
Charles White. medical director Of the
tuberculosis League OF Pittsburgh. as
serted that lone of the burning questions
OF the day is whether tuberculosis is
sociological or merical problem. That
such discussion goes on probably proves
that it is both. We are seeking to dis
cover II the sociologist should employ the
doctor. or the doctor employ the social
worker: or. will the time come when all
doctors and nurses will be social work
ers and all social workers do tors Or
nurses.
The social worker may be called the
drum heater before the door of the booth.

pared He shifts his work from tubercu-
losis to child hygiene. social diseases and
associated charities. as readily the

The majority of the problems in connec-
ton with the tuberculosis question. such
as immunity, heTedity, chemistry of lung

etc, are medical in their nature. and
must be solved by those of medical train

comes down to more and better food and

Hospitals for Advanced Cases.

y report of the committee on HOSPITALS
FOR advanced cases. read by Dr. Theo-
dore B. Sachs. Chicago chairman and
DIR. Thomas Specs Darlington. New York
secretary. at last nights session. showed
a detailed study of twenty-five hospitals
for advanced cases in New York. Phi la
delpha. Boston and Chicago These
twenty-five hospitals have a bed capacity
of 4.6I2 beds. and the buildings cost
S.H1aGD. or an average of S1.245 per
bed. In eleven of the institutions Is per
cent of the patients We're homeless men
or women. most of whom left the hos
pital during the summer months and re-
turned with cold weather. The self
respecting poor will not go to hospitals
of this character. according 10 the COM
mittee's findings
One OF the most striking findings Of
the committee was that the population
OF all the HOSPITALS was constantly shift
ing, each bed being occupied on an aver
age by four patients year. Consider
ing that the dangerously infective stage
of tuberculosis is from two to eight years,
these figures would indicate that some
restraint should be exercised by the hos
pttals to prevent patients from leaving
the institutions without sufficient cause
In twenty three of the hospitals Is, 116
patients had been treated last year. Thir-
ty-nine per cent of all the patients were
bedridden. and about one in four of the
total number treated in the year died
The average cost of maintenance for
TWENTY-FIVE institutions was s1.i9 per pa
tient per DAY.

STEINHAUSER FINDS
BLUE RIBBON APPLES

Charles Steinhauser, who with Mrs.
Steinhauser and children returned last
week from New York City, where they
have been spending the winter with
relatives, says he thinks the apple
marketing condition is going to look up
from now on. "The extra fancy Hood
Rivers are selling well in New York
now" says Mr.. Steinhauser, and they
are bringing extra fancy prices. They
are selling as high as Si.25 per dozen.
while in New York | noticed one
day new fruit store, called the North
west Fruit Exchange. where northwest
ern box apples alone were handled. |
went in to see if the establishment had
any Hood River fruit. Why, certain
ly, the manager told me and proceeded
to show me some of the fruit he had
purchased from the Union. There was
land show here last week, he told
me, 'and ] sent couple of boxes of
these apples over to get little adver-
tising from them, and I'm blamed if
they didn't give me the blue ribbon on
them.
Mr.. Steinhauser, who is the owner
Of an orchard in the Upper Valley, be-
ieves that the fruit .of that district
should be stored and held until Febru-
ary and March. "Our Gravensteins
and other varieties should be given a
special highland grading" " he says.

etc, and believe all of these men will
make good; will you see TO getting
them positions and that they are given
a fair chance and look we'll after them
until they have gotten into settled
habits?" Ii we could have such a
committee that would keep in touch
with this unfortunate class, and try to
instill into their minds that their debt
is paid, and they are entitled to fresh
start, there would be some hope of
these same ones not getting back there
again.
If man shows decided criminal ten
denotes after he has had fair show to
make good and has to be sent back to
some penal institution, then it should
be for life, and he should be made as
useful as possible to the state. There
is no need of adding to the states ex-
penses by allowing more trials. The
money could be better used by helping
others who have not already forfeited
their chance.
If our present legislature would vote
enough money to maintain trade
school in the penitentiary and before a
man was turned out he could be prof.
cient in some line of work, they would
be doing the criminal class great
good. Let the teachers be taken from
among their own number If possible.

beings as about animals, and there is
so much more need of them. hope
Governor West may see his ideas carried
out about degenerates. feeble-minded,
those with criminal tendencies and,
above all, the insane. Then will the
workers for humanity be getting at the
right end of the lever. There is big
army of thoughtful men and women

ing on the appeal of E. H. Shepard, a
committee, composed of Prof. c. d.
Thompson, Truman Butter and MIR.
Shepard, himself, was appointed to
wait on the county court in an effort
to have Prof. W, II. Lawrence rein
stated as county fruit inspector aud
plant pathologist. 1t happened that
the court was still in session at the
time of the appointment of the com
mittee and the members proceeded al
once to the court house. However, the
members of this body declined to make
re-appointment of Prof. Lawrence at
the salary paid last year, declaring
that they preferred to await the action
of the legislature, before which body
a bill is now pending.

What to do with our freed convicts is

From the moment man is deprived
of his liberty. the state, in charge OF
him, should try in every way to change

If he has no trade he should have one,
or of he is already proficient in any

ROAD MEETING ENDS
in ENDORSING HURD

The road meeting called by the Com
mercial club last Saturday evening
ended in an endorsement by the local
orchardists, about $50 of whom were
present, of the Hurd Bill, recently
passed by the House of Representa-
tives at Salem. Shortly after the pic.
lures of different road scenes were
shown, A. |. Mason took the floor and
in a speech of explanation presented
the resolution which he had already
drawn. MIR. Mason declared that the
Hurd bill was identical with the county
bonding act initiated by the state
grange with the exception that it lin
tied the bonds to two per cent of the
assessed valuation while the Limitation
of the grange bill was five per cent.
1.-THE fight that is on down at the
Legislature, " said Mr. Mason, simply
SINNERS down to this: Shall we allow
a little handful Of Portland politicians
select the roads on which our money
shall be spent or shall we locate them
ourselves. The opponents of our bill
declare that we will never be able to
make our selections. Nothing is sim
pier. Each road district in a mass
meeting, just as those now held for
the purpose of voting special road tax,
will select delegates to convention.
The number of delegates will depend
on the assessed valuation. The con-
vention will select the roads to be i'm
proved and constructed. F"
A number of Others spoke on the
road bill and asked MIR. Mason ques-
tions, among them Prof. L. F. Hen
deison, Murray Kay, r. f. Scott, sec
retary of the club, who presided over
the meeting. Prof. L. B. Gibson. John
Mohr, J. H. Heilbronner and Frank P.
Friday.
However, according to the Saturday
afternoon Portland Journal, the .Hurd
forces of the House and the Barrett
forces of the Senate had already got
ten together at Salem and had COM
promised on bill containing points of
both. But it is thought that by this
compromise bill the Mason locating
clauses will be lost.

become convinced that the progress
shown in the cases treated here
made 1t of the highest Importance that
DR. friedman be permitted to furth-
er demonstrate his treatment.
THE five cases that came under my
observation were all in advanced
stages said DIR. Sturm. Two of the
patients had tubercular knees. two
had tubercular elbows and the fifth
had pulmonary tuberculosis.
Il am willing to discount such sub.
jective symptoms OF improveent as In
creased appetite. cheerfulness Inn
proved appearance. etcetera. but when
noticed an Improvement from the
most important symptoms Of the dis
ease. could no longer be skepticai.
"The case of the twelve year old
boy who was treated at Mount Sinai
for tuberculosis OF the knee is the
most remarkable so far. This boys
knee was SO swollen and inflamed that
he could not bend 1t without excru-
ciating pain. Four days after the
friedman treatment was administer
ed, the inflammation began to subside~
The boy now walks with scarcely,
perceptible limp, and am firmly con-
vinced he is on the road to completes
recovery"
In one of the other bone tubercut
osis cases diseased knee has already
been reduced one and half inches In
diameter. DR.. Sturm said, and there
was similar reduction Of swelling IN
the elbows OF the other two patients.
The progress Of the pulmonary pa
tient, while less marked, has been
steadily toward lessening OF tuhar-
cular symptoms, he said.
DR.. A. C. H. Friedman, the scient-
lists brother. said tonight that he had
received telegram notifying him OF
the action OF the Texas assembly in
passing resolution requesting DR.. +
j EF. friedman to come to that state
! and demonstrate his treatment.
II Dr. friedman spent today in Lon

to treat forty cases of tuberculosis.
