URGES SUPPORT OF STATE
WIDE BUILDING STATUE

Rock Island, ILL.,. Oct. 24-Editor
Argus: The next legislature of ILL
nOis will be called upon to pass or to
refuse to pass a statewide building
law. According to this law, all build
ings erected in Illinois will have to
be under state supervision in order
to make sure that they will be safe
and prevent careless or rascally in
cl1ned people from building without
regard to. the welfare of everybody
concerned.
Il, therefore, would be well for all
voters to ask ali candidates to the
legislature to express their opinion as
10 whether they are favorable to such
a law or not.
The state of Ohio has a law, and
this was brought about by the very
terrible school house fire in which so
many children were burned to death
not long ago. The Ohio law is good
enc, but IN some ways. no doubt, more
conservative than is necessary, and
the proposed Illinois law is not 50
drastic.

CHILDHOOD
Period is Where the Work of
tuberculosis Association
Should Be Conferred.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May r.
The sociological section OF the ma
tional association for the Study and
Prevention Of tuberculosis, which
met today, was told in paper read
by DR.. William Charles White, medical
director of the Pittsburg tuberculosis
League, that work should be conferred
upon the childhood period.
The evidence of the post mortem
table and the probably more delicate
test Of tuberculin have shown us most
conclusively that practically all OF our
children in many of the crowded CEN
ters of population are at fourteen
years of age the seat OF tuberculous
infection. In this childhood period
we have all the varied forms of tu-
berculosis-of bones, glands, men,
branes, intestines, lungs, joints and
meninges-to deal with while in later
life we have but the monotony of pull
monary tuberculosis which may be
said to result in some way from some
of these primary infections OF earlier
childhood"
Dr.. White held further that this uni
versatility of tuberculosis infection i'm
posed upon antituberculosis societies
and other similar agencies, the duty
of keeping continuous paternal su-
pervision over the life of every child,
and also that of safeguarding parents
SO that they might bear and rear the
best possible children.
