losis and such minor notifications in te statutes as will make for more eff cient service by the commission and the employees of the commission. The report takes up each recom- n,endation at length to explain it's needs. It especially dwells upon the problem of control of patients who will not obey or are not amenable to discipline, and expressed desire for police power" to meet these condi- tions.
 Civil Service Laws.
 The commission says the entire force Of the sanatoria is under the civil service law. and the task of making our special requirem ents plain to the civil service commission has not always been easy, but on the hole, we are well pleased with the operation of law. and we expect that as we and the distinguished operators of the law become more familiar with it's mechanism. it will prove to be of still greater benefit to the state sana- toria.''
 In describing the care of the Sana- turia attention is called to the need of collective purchase of supplies in the interest of economy To some extent this idea has been put into fierce and the resulting bargains were very satisfa ctory." Estimates of needs have been advertised and con- tra cts awarded.
 The commission points out a finan- cial tangle on the matter of mainte- nance due to the wording of the law and it asks that the assembly straighten 1t out.
 Want Assistance of Dentist.
 Among new ideas to be put into practice is that of having a dentist care for the teeth of patients, and the hope is expressed that financial conditions soon will enable a dentist to be called in periodically to do this work.
 The progress of work in each san atorium is described at some length aid chapter of the report given over to an account of the publicity cam paign, both in addresses by promi- rent physicians and workers, through articles for the press: distribution of Don't cards" through the employees a associations, and in the selling Of Red Cross seals. Personal sympathy in the work has been widely shown.
 The closing portion of the report analyses the cost of the sanatoria and explains the needs as outlined in an estimate of required appropriations already submitted to the general as SC mbly.

CAMPAIGN AGAINST
 THE ,'MH|1[ PLAcUE'
Outlined in Commissions Report to
 C1v k|comR,

Hartford, Conn. Jan. 26-The re- markable character of the state campaign against the ''white plage" is outlined in the report made by the tuberculosis commission to Governor Holcomb yesterday. This is the fourth general assembly the report says that has been asked to appropriate money for the purpose of contreAings and cradicating tuberculosis, the dis ease that causes more physical and social misery and greater financial loss to the people of the state than can be charged to any other evil thing. The commission says the last three general assemblies showed th cir wish to do everything possible to pro- tect Connecticut against this ravaging monster.
 Practical Results.
 The results are, in brief; four san- 'atoria with a capacity of 600 beds at an approximate annual maintenance of quarter of million dollars: a campaign which compares favora bly, with that carried on anywhere in the world; relief afforded by the san- atoria to individuals and families and societies and communities has been so great that a return to tho condition of the presanatorium era is inconceivable: and it is easily shown that for all the large sums of money expended, the state has already been repaid by the monetary value to her of the labor of the patients in whom the disease has been arrested, and by the earnings and savings of the friends of patients which, but for the sanatoria, would have been directed to the unproductive work of caring for the sick at home.
 Outline Future Work.
 The commission devotes attention to future work, or as the report puts it, "Questions of Strategy" The esti- mate is that there are from 10000 to 5000 cases of consumption in the state. To maintain these would cost the state four millions a year. The present campaign does not attempt to provide care for every case. Denmark claims the most generous sanatoriur1 provisions, and Connecticut's 800 beds brings her close to that coun- try, and in the lead of most states on this hemisphere. The whole matter of public control of the disease is so y be solved, and most of the leading communities have attacked them in differing ways.
 'Institutionalized'
 The report discusseA sanatoria treatment. One feature upon which stress is laid is that there are some patients who have been inmates for several vars. ''They are never very sick; the disease remains stationary. They have become institutionalized They won't work, even though told that work would benefit them. They have cost the state already more than a thousand dollars apiece, and their friends, or the towns from which they come, several hundred dollars apiece. They may have no tubercle baccilli in their sputum. They would be better off at home and at work.
