THE INCIpIENT CASES.

Is it necessary to have hospital
for the persons who are in the incip-
lent stages of tuberculosis? The at
titude which Chicago has taken on
just such question is indicative OF
the real facts.
Chicago has Just completed a new
tuberculosis sanitarium, the cost of
whose buildings alone was 10000.
And this sanitarium is for the treat
ment OF incipient cases almost ex-
clusively. Another and older one Is
used for the hopelessly incurable.
Four years ago Chicago thought it
was well nigh impossible to check
the disease there, but such advance
has been made since then that she
hopes to stamp it out in a few years.
When a city is ready to spend mil
lions to take care of its citizens who
are in the beginning stages, of tuber-
culosis, persons who could cure
themselves if they would take the
right measures, but who won't, there
must be some justifiable reason for
the expenditure.
Columbia and Boone County are
confronted with the same problem in
a smaller degree, persons who cannot
or will not take care of themselves
in the incipient stage of tuberculo-
sis.

Johnston went on 10 say there
was considerable excitement follow

was quickly quoted down.
1t was given out at 4he prison

the reporter suggested, that he
was sorry he had violated the con-
fidence placed in him.
Johnston laughed at this with
genuine amusement.
That's all bull !" he said, and
Green is right mad about that be-

saying he was sorry, he said he was
