J Chicago, February 29.-Laws on tubercu-
losis are needed more than any other
legislation pertaining to health condi-
tions, according to the report today of
DR.. Frederick r. Green, secretary of the
health council of the American Medical
association, holding its tenth annual con-
ference.
The report was based on replies to
inquiries sent to physicians health off,
GERS and public men. The replies indi-
Gated the relative Importance of health
subjects as follows:
Laws on tuberculosis is 407
Inspection of schools. a9S.
Water and sewage, 1913.
Regulation of dairies, 366.
Contagious disease regulations, 3l3
Food and drug laws, 304.

'"Fhere has been no definite policy in

and fancies. We do not know Just what
we want and do not stand together"

Model B has very slender proper
tions. 1t is adapted to slight and
medium figures who desire a soft,
flexible, lightweight corset. 1t is
extremely low in bust and back and
designed to give the extreme un-
corseted effect
The back of this corset is unique.
The panel back without bones is an
idea originated by the MOZART
designer and obtainable only in
MOZART Corsets. 1t makes the
corset wonderfully flexible, yet
gives the desired flatness to the
back.

Confederate right was routed and in

fronted Ewell's right. Far to the left

fought with Hilrs Confederates, Long
streets reserve corps not being in posi-
ton at that hour. Burnside's ninth
corps, between Warren's left and Han
cocks right, was not in position when
the attack began, but General James
Wadsworth's Federal division started
from Warren's position before daylight
with orders to charge right through"
the %unoccupied space assigned to Burn
side and unite with Hancock's line.
Wadsworth was killed soon after he

drove Hills men back a mile through
the forest. His divisions became mixed
In the thicket and, moreover, Wads-

crowded the line toward the center.
That was the moment to go ahead but
for the confusion. AS it was, the lead
er of the charge ordered the men to
halt and rectify the lines for a final
advance. This delayed advance was
checked by the arrival of Longstreetas
foremost division to the aid of Hill.
One division Of Longstreet's fresh
men remained in front of Hancock,
and the other, supported by n OF
Hits divisions, marched around the
flank. Hancock's line faced west, but
the right brigades had fought forward
farther than the left, 10 that Long
streets column did not go far enough
to strike the ~unguarded flank. After
marching east some distance the Con-
federate 1anking column swung north

Federal Attacks Repulsed.

Sedgwick's advance division Under
Wright came up and formed on War
ren's left and preparations were made
for an assault. Every advance vas
repulsed until a portion of Wright's
men about 6 o'clock in the afternoon
passed around Anderson's right flank.
On the morning of the 9th General II.
s. Ewell's corps took position on the
right Of Anderson's east of the court
house covering the Fredericksburg
road. Burnside's corps moved from the
Wilderness to Spottsylvania, forcing
the passage of the Ny river.
The lines now drawn extended from
the Pc river, neal the crossing Of the
Shady Grove road, eastward across the
Brock road. This part of the line was
held on the Confederate side by Ander-
son, and Warren's corps confronted
him. From Anderson's corps the Con-
federate line ran northeast about a
mile and a half, then east and again
making a sharp bend south, forming
an angle nearly a mile across at its
base. Ewell's corps occupied this part
of the line and was menaced by Fed
erals on the northwest face only.
General A. P. Hills corps took up an
intrenched line running south from
the angle and confronting Burnside.
The troops opposed to Ewell On the
northwest face of the angle were War
ren's and Sedgwick's corps. General
Sedgwick was killed by the bullet of a
sharpshooter. Hancock's corps took
position ON the right Of Warren, with a
line that followed the direction Of the
Pc river at this point-namely, north
west. On the 9th Hancock reconnoi-
tered the ground far out on his front,
crossed over the divisions of Barlow,
Gibbon and Birney and pushed his line
southwark to the Shady Grove road,
aiming for the bridge across the Pc.
Darkness coming on, Hancock halted
for the night. On the morning Of the
10th it was found that the left flank
of Anderson was strongly intrenched
and protected the road and the bridge.
Orders reached Hancock to recross the
Pc with two divisions and form a line
with Warren and General H. G..
Wright, who had succeeded Sedgwick
at the head Of the Sixth corps, for a
general assault west of the angle.
Warren's attack was repulsed by
Anderson's troops, with little loss to
themselves. Wright's men carried the
first line after a hand to hand encoun-
ter. Confederate reserves rallied quick
ly. and the assailants retired before
them under orders. Meanwhile Burn
sides corps assaulted HilTs line and
secured ground that was held until the
battle ended ten days later. Elsewhere
the Federals at ~nightfall occupied their
origina! lines.
