Miss Williams, laughing, "but after

HOME HOSPITALS DO GOOD
Recent Move in Fight Against Tuber-
culosIs Has Proved a Most
Gratifying Success.

Results of a years experiment in the
home treatment of tuberculosis In the
Vanderbilt tenements, conducted UNI
der the direction of the New York AS
sociation for Improving the Condition
of the Poor. would indicate that con-
sumption can be cured In congested
districts of a large city and that too at
an expense less than in the ordinary
sanatorium.
The experiment carried on during
the past years is the first of its kind
It has been called the Home hospital,
because 1t provides a home for all of
the members of the patients family
and in addition, all the advantages of
hospital care for the consumptiye him
self. The hospital is located in the
East River homes built by Mrs. w. K.
Vanderbilt especially for tuberculous
families. Twenty-seven families con-
sisting of 1876 individuals were treated
during the year Six of the families
have been rehabilitated physically, so
cially and economically, and five have
been discharged as not suitable for the
experiment. Out of the 1876 individuals,
70 were patients, the average number
of patients being 2.92 to family. The
report shows that the average rest
dence at the hospital was 1888 days
and that the average gain in weight of
each adult patient was 80 pounds. Of
this group 81 per cent. were apparently
cured, % per cent. had their disease
arrested, and IL per cent. were much
improved Of the 65 children under
care, 16 were consumptives, 18 were
suspicious cases and q were excellent
candidates for the disease. Without
exception every child gained in weight
and In resistance to tuberculosis. An
open air school and roof playground is
provided for the children.
The report would also Indicate that
the cost of treatment per patient com.
pares fRvorably with that in the best
sanatoria of the country. The expert
ment. however, has been one not only
in the treatment of tuberculosis, but
in the treatment of poverty and de.
pendence. The results seem, to show
that the actual cost to the community
in caring for families of this character
is less at the Home hospital than II

have tuberculosis are sent to an in.

Of the family are cared for in homes,

NECESSARY IMPROVEMENTS
Local Farmers Head Movement to

Twenty-eight farmers residing OF

Melrose met in this city Thursday to
discuss ways and means of straight
ening the channel of Sank River be-
tween Sank Centre and Melrose. II
this can be accomplished it will re-
claim a large acreage of meadow

the Board of County Commissioners
at an early date urging that the work
be done and the cost taxed up to the
property benefited. The committee
for this purpose consists of P. NJ
Kennedy, Jas. A. Caughren and J. F.

The farmers interested have inves.

angle and claim that it is not only
feasible but that the reclamation Of
land is certainty.
