SEGREGATION Is URGED

PHILADELPHIA. oct. i6.--"ft Is nov pos
sible to lift the curse OF the great white
plague" declared Nathan Straus of New
York IN message received at the opening
OF the first North Atlantic Tuberculosis
Conference here to-day.
What can be done in the way OF prcvcn-
ton of tuberculosis" he wrote, has been
demonstrated along the two lines on which
have worked. namely, In tho pasteurisl-
ton OF milk so as to cut of this source OF
infection and In the establishment OF pre-
ventorla In which children taken from tu-
berculous environments can be fortified
against the disease.
MY practical experience has Convinced
me that when these methods are more
fully appreciated and more widely applied
tuberculosis will become as rare as small
pox instead of holding humanity In Its grip.
