ton met yesterday afternoon in the
office of Prosecutor Louis Hood, in
the Kinney building. 1t will be the

change the official year of the organi-

$50 as to give more time in which to
draw up the various reports Of the
years work
various other matters came up for
discussion. The proposition of an eX
hibit to be held in the fall for the
benefit of factory employees was laid
over, as it is not certain whether the
circumstances of the association at
that time will allow such an exh,bi-
ton to be given.
In cooperation with the Newark
Female Charitable Society the asso-
citation will send many children to the
shore during July and August 1t is
planned to send the boys in July and
the girls the next month. The ques-
ton of the proposed children's pre-

, ance on hand of $3,176.
An interesting paper giving a de-
tailed report of the recent national
conference for the study and preven-
ton of tuberculosis was read during
tho meeting. The contents of the
paper, in part, were as follows:
in the address of the president of
the National Association the striking
note was that perhaps there was too
great q concentration on the lndl-
vidual rather than the tuberculosis
question as a whole DR.. Sacks, of
Chicago, and others pointed out that
the medical supervision of the
health of employees Is not only hu-
name but good business and hoped
to see the system extended to every
large city in the United States. DR..
Knopf, of New York, stated that
while looking after the incipient
cases is more gratifying and appears
to produce more satisfactory results,
yet to take care of advanced cases
and make patients comfortable, to
prolong their lives and render them
happy are also worth While, and pa
tents in the advanced stage of tuber-
culosis would be more ready to go
to a hospital where they would re-
ceive kind, intelligent and sympa-
, thetic care than if they are treated
In q careless way.
Subsequent reports from patients
who received injections of the Freid-
man vaccine year ago showed that
ten patients out of eighteen receiving
enc injection developed assesses at
the site of the injection. One patient
who had four injections is now feel
ing we'll and presenting signs of an
arrested lung process, although de-
veloping a new tuberculosis process
In another part of the body.
Frank II, Ham, secretary of the
New York Committee for the Proven
ton of Tuberculosis, pointed out that
the children from poor families in
open air schools showed great in
crease in vitality and in hemoglobin. :"
