Is Cook county criminally careless
in its treatment of the victims of the
white plague who are too poor to pay
for treatment and therefore must go
to county institutions?
The report of the special commit
tee which investigated the tubercu-
losis ward of the County Hospital and
the Oak Forest tuberculosis Hospital
would indicate that this is the case.
Both hospitals are accused of feed
ing the tUbercular patients the same
quality of food that is given to the
county poor, regardless of the abso-
lutte necessity of a diet.
The conditions at Oak Forest are
especially deplorable according to
this report, which was placed in the
hands of Mccormick, president of the
County Board, on November %, 1913.
There is only one physician for 327
patients. No physician can possibly
care for more than fifty patients.
Consequently, if so are taken care of
properly, 277 must be neglected alb
solutely, or the entire number of pa
tients must be given about one-sev-
enth the attention they require.
The physician calls at the hospital
once a month to examine the pa
tents.
The hospital has no medical equip
ment for the ordinary treatment and
study Of the cases.
It has no laboratory.
1t has no facilities for the treat
ment of the tuberculous diseases of
the nose and throat.
Consequently, it does not possess
reliable records of the condition of
the patients, and has no system of
treatment having for its aim the cure
of the disease.
The nursing service is absolutely
inadequate. On November %, 1913,
there were sixteen nurses for 327
patients. After allowing for two
night nurses and for the weekly half
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-01-03

these ten nurses is taken up by
mental labor which should be per-.
formed by domestics.
The hospital lacks a sufficient
number of male and female en-
ployes for the domestic service and
patients are compelled to make good
this shortage.
There is a rule that a patient with
a temperature over 100 must be put
to bed.
The nurses do not have time to
take the temperatures, and, if they,
had the time, there are not sufficient
thermometers.
Therefore many of the patients
who should be in bed are scrubbing
floors, cleaning windows and doing
other mental labor that cannot help
but quicken the progress of their
disease.
Owing to- the fact that the food
supplied is harmful in many cases,
the Jewish tuberculosis Relief So
ciety has been giving Jewish patients
an allowance Of 81 week to buy
proper food. Other patients must
eat what they can get.
In view of the function of the Oak
Forest tuberculosis Hospital, it
should have it's own medical and
nursing staff, especially trained and
exclusively given to the treatment
and nursing of tuberculosis patients.
1t should have one physician for
every fifty patients.
1t should increase its force of do
mestics so that patients who are too
weak and too sick to be out Of bed
are not forced to do scrubbing and
cleaning.
It should have a trained dietitian.
1t should have greatly increased
nursing force.
But because of deficient medical
supervision, deficient nursing, insult

ed diningrooms, and other criminal

GIANTS SCORE ONLY ONE TALLY
 IN Al INNINGS

It is now almost a certainty that there will be no worlds series at the Polo Grounds with the Athletics next month. Whatever hope the Giants entertained of winning their fouth consecutive National League pennant was shattered yesterday in a double header by Miller Huggins and his St. Louis Cardinals.
 Twice the battling Cards crushed the Giants into submission and now the McGrawites are trailing the Braves by six full games. It is prac- tically a, hopeless task for the Giants to beat out the Braves now. and judg- ing from the kind of ball the New Workers have been playing since the beginning of this week the chain pions will be lucky if they finish sec- ond. The Cardinals are in third place, only a slight margin behind the Giants.
 Here is one of the reasons why the Giants have lost their last four games During the last forty-one in nfngs against the Cubs and the Car dina1s the McGrawites have scored one run The lone run came in the fifth inning of the first game yester- sday as the result of singles by Bescher. Burns and Fletcher In the late game the champions failed to score a run off Slim Sa1ees the noted southpaw, and went down to an over wheIming defeat by the score of to O. The Giants lost the first game by 2 to 1.
 The loss of the first game was a bit ter blow to the Ozark Bear. who pitched a great game for the cham pions. Tesreau allowed the Cards only three hits, and the winning run scored off him in the eighth was tall lied without the aid of a bingle.

As 1t stands, the trouble has been that most players have not gone in for long and accurate throw ing of the oval, have rather scorned it as basketball play, have looked upon. those prone. to such practice as specialists whose value to team is uncertain.

WILL FORWARD PASS BE
 POPULAR THIS SEASON?

The Army. defeated by Notre Dame, principally through skilled execution Of the forward pass, brought the fruits of her humiliation to the Polo Grounds. They served to enable her to overthrow the Navy. fundamentally a stronger outfit. It is not reading the events of that contest between the two service institutions erroneous ly to say they will be found to have given the pass a sanction which no one at abGy time prior to the meeting of Annapolis and West Point believed possible Some coaches have enlisted sunreservedly in its cause: others are awaiting additional5 information. It may be they await it at the peril of the loss of important contests It is their risk, and it is real risk. The forward pass is fundamentally sound; when perfectly executed, it is the most dangerous method of offence, so far as the defending eleven is concerned.
 There are others, again, who ad-, init the strength of the play. but say their men have not acquired sufficient proficiency in it's use to make it val uab1e to them. This proficiency, they
