THE POOR CONSERVATIVES!
What Work CAM They Do To Earn a
Living?
(specia1 to the Farmer.)

New Haven, Conn.,, Jan. 9, 1915
What Can the Poor Consumpt1ve do
to Earn a Living was the subject of
an address delivered by State Tuber-
culosis Commissioner John F. Gun
shanan, before the Holy Name Socie-
ty of St Francis Parish in this city
last evening. Mr.. Gunshanan said
that many people ask why people con-
fined in State tuberculosis Sanator-
iuns are not given an opportunity to
do some work from which a revenue
would be derived, a portion of which
could be given to them to assist them
to get a start in life after they leave
the institution Naturally, said the
speaker, people would say that this
matter would be a simple one, but
those who have given much thought
to the subject find it one of the most
difficult problems to be solved. If
we take the woman patients, for in
stance, and put them to work MAX
ing quilts or soft pillows, where could
you find a market for the sale of the
same? What houeskeeper would want
to purchase one of these articles,
knowing it was made in a. tuberculosis
institution? AS to our men, there is
lots of work that they might de- but
it would be really impossible to find
market for the same; and still there
are hundreds of persons afflicted with
tuberculosis who are employed to-day
in the nreDaratton of foodstuffs. and
