HEALTH PROBLEM IN ORIENT
Tuberculosis Claims Its Victims by
Hundreds Of Thovssnd-preven-
tive Measures Started.

tuberculosis Is one OF the most Sc
rious public health problems OF the
Orient. Active organizations to fight
this disease have been formed in ia
pan. the Philippines, India, and Aus
tralia. A movement Is on foot for a
national organization in China and In
a number OF cities local work has
been started. While no accurate fig
ures are available. those who are In
position to know claim that consump-
ton takes annually from 100000 to
1000. 900 lives in China alone. In In
dia the death rate Is fully as high.
and on account OF caste distinctions
and native superstitions, the problem
OF prevention and treatment is pecu-
larry difficult. The Japanese govern
ment has taken a hand officially In
the control OF tuberculosis, and is CO
operating with two well organized pri.
vate associations. The death rate,
while very high, 10 lower than In
China and India Under the direction
Of the United States public health
service a movement for the prevention
Of tuberculosis in the Philippines has
also been organized.

Study and Prevention OF tuberculosis,

anti-tuberculosie movements in most
Of the oriental countries. as well as In

The little town OF Isle-sur-Segne
saw a very popular funeral recently,
when the remains OF an old maid,
scarcely known except to her imme-

cemetery by nearly thousand
mourners.
The story had gone abroad that the
old lady left instructions In her win

the gates OF the cemetery after the
ceremony. For this purpose she had
collected 100 hve-penny pieces. and
also set apart 60 for the funeral
music accompanying her hearse.
