LEGISLATION ON TUBERCULOSIS
Forty Eight States Have Laws of
Different Kinds

Legislation dealing with tubercu-
and territories of the United States,
according to comprehensive bulletin
on this subject soon to be published
by the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis.
Only in the states Of Arizona, Idaho,
Nevada, Wyoming and Alaska, has
the subject been given no legislative
consideration.
State tuberculosis sanatoria to the
number Of AZ have been established
in SO different states. Special laws
provinding for the establishment of
local hospitals by municipalities or
counties have been passed in Ii states.
In "a states laws are in force provid-
ing for the reporting and registration
of living cases of tuberculosis. In
four states, New York, New Jersey,
Wisconsin and Minnesota, special
laws have been enacted giving state
and local health authorities power to
remove and detain tuberculosis per-
sons who menace the health of their
families or associates. Six states, III
inois, Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, New
York and Texas, have laws which give
the people the privilege of voting at
general or special elections on the es-
tablishment of county, or municipal tu-
berculosis hospitals. Massachusetts,
Minnesota, New Jersey, Wisconsin,
and Washington grant subsidies rang
ing from So to S. per week to such
local hospitals. Laws prohibiting
splitting in public places have been en-
acted in more than 20 states.
Commenting on the problem of state
legislation as it affects the proven
ton of tuberculosis, The National As
ISOLATION for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis says: "a Law
providing for the reporting and regis
tration of every living case of tuber-
culosis is fundamental to any cam
paign against this disease. Without
knowledge of the location of every
case of tuberculosis, the disease can
not be controlled. OF equal impor
lance also is legislation which vii
give cities, towns, and counties tn,
authority to establish and maintain 10
cal hospitals for tuberculosis cases
The control of tuberculosis is loca
problem. Everything possible shoulC
be done to provide institutions cas-!
of access, especially for advanced
cases"

Sergeant Maginot, who is an ex-
under secretary of state, deputy for
Barbecue and one of the tallest
men in France-he stands over Gift.
6in-was recently awarded the mill
tary medal for CONSPICUOUS bravery,
and is now lying in hospital at Yer
dun gradually, recovering from his
very severe wounds.
NJ Maginot, who knows every inch
of Lorraine, commanded a section of
volunteer scouts. On November. 9,
while accommodating a wood with a
party of less than a score of men, he
was ambushed by an outpost of Ger
man infantrymen, who opened fire,
killing four of the scouts Sgt Magi-
not, who is fine shot, sought to cover
the retreat of his men. AS the Ger
mans advanced he fired, and two drop
ped. Immediately afterwards he him
ed his thigh bone. He fell but picked
himself up again, fired his remaining
three of four shots, and managed to
retreat some so yards under hail of
this time in the knee-cap of the other
leg. Still he struggled on, and finely
reached a rock behind which the sur
vivors of his little band had taken
refuge.
1t was then eight o'clock in the
morning, and for the whole of that
day the Germans vainly strove to
surround the handful of Frenchmen.
Four or five times they got within
40 or so yards but as often they had
to retire with loss of six or seven
men.
Maginot and his men in this way
held out until dark, when they were
able to crawl towards the French
lines. Two men attempted to carry
the wounded sergeant by using their
rifles as a stretcher, but his gigantic
bulk was too much for them, and at
last they had to drag him along by
their hands. In spite of the agony
he was enduring M. Maginot did not
lose consciousness, and when help ar
rived and the Germans were once
more pursuing, he continued to give
his orders.
OF the little party Of Is five We're
killed and seven wounded. The Ger
mans did not take single prisoner
The above story is told by Sgt. l.
who was one of the party.

ON THE FIRING LINE IN EUROPE

Paris, Dec. 16.-An aviator who has
just returned from part of the front
where the French are, or were, oppos-
ed by Bavarian troops tells of an ex-
traordinary sort of entente over a
spring between the lines.
1t is the only spring of fresh water
in the neighborhood. At first by tao
tic consent French and Bavarians
drew water at different hours with
out molesting one another. Gradual
ly they became more friendly, chose
the same hours, exchanged the time
of day and offered one another tobac-
CO. They even took coffee together
sometimes. All the while the
Germans regularly destroyed de-
fence work which the French regular
ly reconstructed day by day, and the
French destroyed redoubt which the
Germans as often rebuilt.
One day two German officers un-
armed left the trenches, and held up
their hands. They were met by two
French officers, to whom they pro-
posed that each side should leave the
other in enjoyment of his works for
it was absurd to go on indefinitely de-
stroying the same construction.
"Done," said the Frenchmen.
Before separating, the officers ex-
changed newspapers, and one of the
Bavarians, said: "Our time is up. We
do not know what troops will take oul
place, but if they are Prussians adj
wise you not to trust them" "By the
by" he added, eff they are Prussians
we will let you know by sticking bits
| of white paper on the barbed wire de.
Tending our trenches"
