DESTITUTE FATHER IS
 SAVED FROM SUICIDE
CITIZENS SUPPLY HIM WITH FUNDS TO GO TO
 MISSOURI.

Little Rock, Nov 29.-Matt Griffin, an upkempt specimen of humanity, will today arrive at his old home in Webb City, Mo-, where his two dishev- eled children will be placed in care of thenr grandparents. Griffin was per suaded to take this trip instead of that long journey into the world be- yond, by kind-hearted people who dis covered him in Little Rock Friday morning, in the act of drinking the contents of two-ounce bottle of car bolic acid.
 Driving two burros to a dilapidated covered wagon, in which his two chil- dren huddled about diminutive stove, and whimpered for something to eat, Griffin arrived in Little Rock Friday morning. The condition of the chill dren attracted passersby, and urged for his story, Griffin explained that his wife, with sucking babe, had de- serted him and the children Tuesday at Casa. Though he was almost with out funds, Griffin pressed on to Little Rock, spending his last cent for the carbolic acid, with the intention of committing suicide.
 4 collection was made from by islanders, sufficient to feed the children during the day, and Griffin soon dis posed of his team for $10, and his wagon brought S5 more, with the stove thrown in. He then paid $9.50 for a ticket to Webb City and boarded the train for his old home, where he'chil- dIen may be well cared for.

TUBERCULOSIS INFECTION OF CHILDREN
BY GEO. M STERNBERG
Of Tuberculosis.
BY GEO. M. STERNBERG.

Recent researches make it evident that
a considerable proportion of the cases of
pulmonary tuberculosis in adults result
from an implantation of the germ-tuber-
Gle bacillus-during childhood. In a GER
tain proportion of the cases this infec-
ton Is followed by an attack of tuber-
cular meningitis. or by bone or joint
tuberculosis or by an involvement of the
lymphatic glands or Of the peritoneum,
these being the forms in which the dis
ease usually manifests itself in the earlier
years Of life. But in a majority of the
cases there is no recognized development
of the disease until early adult life, when
pulmonary tuberculosis is the usual form
in which evidence of such early infection
is made manifest.
Fortunately only small proportion of
those who are infected in childhood ever
develop tuberculosis. At least not in a
recognizable form. But autopses made
in hospitals upon persons dying from
other diseases show that many persons
who were never suspected of having
tuberculosis present evidence of healed
tuberculosis LESSONS in the lungs. This
shows that man has great resistance to
tuberculosis infection, and as q matter
Of fact, the development Of an attack de-
pends to a large extent upon a diminish
ed power of resistance resulting from a
variety of causes, such as insufficient
food, overwork, insanitary surroundings.
dissipation. typhoid fever, measles, etc.
Unless the individual infected in child
hood is subjected to one or the other
Of these devtalizing agencies his natural
resistance will usually protect him from
developing an attack of pulmonary tuber-
culosis. Even if the disease makes some
progress, we now know that, under favor
able conditions, large proportion of the
cases in the incipient stage of the dis
ease are likely to recover,
The fact that tuberculosis infection
commonly occurs during early childhood
has been brought to light during recent
years by the painstaking researches Of
Won Pirquet, Schlossmann, Hamburger
and others. largely through the use Of
von Pirquets skin-reaction test. This
consists In applying tuberculin to the
scarified surface of any part of the
body-usually the upper arm as in vac
cination If there is localized tubercu-
1ous infection in any part of the body
the Scarification causes a slight infiam-
matory reaction at the point of inocula-
ton; otherwise the result is negative

The actual work of laying out the Boy
Scout summer camp on Chesapeake
bay will begin tomorrow. After
the examinations given scouts at the
rendezvous yesterday afternoon Field
Secretary Wood and Scoutmaster J. v.
Hyde of Troop No 40 went to Chesa-
peake Beach and set up a temporary
camp. They carried a number of tools
with them and tomorrow morning corps
of workmen will begin clearing off the
ground where the camp is to be erected.
A number Of large trees will have to
be cut down and large quantity Of
underbrush cleared away. All of the
timber obtained by clearing out the trees
will be used in erecting the frames for
the tents and in constructing the land
ing wharf.
The camp equipment will be sent to
Chesapeake Beach this week There will
be full carload of tents. nooring, cots.
hospital equipment. cooking equipment
and numerous other articles.
Everything about the camp will be in
readiness for the opening June 80. On
that day the first squad of fifty boys will
go into camp. In this squad there will
be number of boys who plan to spend
the entire months of July and August
at the camp.
A big celebration at the Boy Scout
camp July is scheduled.
Ten American Red Cross first aid

mencement of the second half year of
life the infections become more FREQUENT
Iheir number increases regularly, chiefly
after the tenth year when they reach an
alarming a; height. The number of infec-
tions is higher, too, in the older girls
classes than in the CORRESPONDING bows
classes. Daske, who instituted extensive
researches into the spread Of tuberculosis
IN the elementary schools of Dusseldorf
found that out 'of 33 200 children O. AZ ner
cent were tuberculosis suspects on ac-
count of chronic cough. The majority of
the affected children were girls, and most
of them attended schools in the poorest
nefghborhoods. Won Pirquet's reaction
gave positive results in 1876 per cent of
all the children
Prof. Meter in careful research made
among children in rural communities in
Germany found that from 40 to 30 per
cent reacted to the Won Pirquet test
Daske says: I'm the characterization we
nave at our disposal a simple rapid,
harmless and comparatively trustworthy
method for the diagnosis of tuberculosis
during the period Of childhood and one
that is Of inestimable value to the school
doctor In particular"
Now all of these cases Of tuberculosis
injection in children, whether recognized
or not, have come from contact with
cases of ''open' tuberculosis; or from
exposure in houses infected by the sputa
or such open cases; or to a limited ex-
tent from bovine sources of infection.
This being the case, the separation of
open and especially of advanced cases of
the disease from close contact with
children is imperative, and must be re-
garded IS fundamental step in our at
tempts to prevent the extension of this
infectious disease.
In a recent paper by DR.. Alfred F. Hess
of New York evidence is presented show
ing that in group of ten children in an
infant asylum, varying in age from about
two to three years. infection resulted i'm
seven out of the ten from contact, for a
was suffering from pulmonary tubercu-
losis. DR.. Hess says: 1--WE did not know
at the time that this attendant recently
had been Ill with tuberculosis and that
she had been a patient for some months
in a sanatorfum."
I believe that these facts should have
full recognition In the future conduct OF
the campaign for the prevention Of tu-
berculosis in the District of Columbia.
