EARLY TREATMENT
IN TUBERCULOSIS
Fact Emphasized at New England Con
ference-Little Done to Find Out
Cause of This Disease.

New England s second annual tu-
berculosis conference, held in Spring
field, Mass, brought together go
workers and a number of workable
ideas for the study of prevention and
control of the disease. Great stress
was laid on the fact that the campaign
of education of the people as to what
is tuberculosis and what to do when
one has tuberculosis must be pushed in
every community.
Vermont has a total death rate from
pulmonary tuberculosis of SS3 to
every 100000 inhabitants, and of tu-
berculosis of all kinds of 1913.
This seems high, but as compared
with l41S of Massachusetts this state
has something to feel proud of in the
fact that efforts along the line of con
trolling the disease are effective. To
break this record will require the in
tcrest and support of every citizen and
every community in the state.
The fact was brought out in this
conference that an early diagnosis and
early treatment was necessary; that in
a large number Of cases after the
germs are found in the sputum it is
then too late to save the patient. So
IA rigid inspection is urged of school
children and of persistently rundown
people under care of physicians and
district nurses.
The care of an open ease in the home
lis a serious problem, and source of in
lection to others. One doctor reported
that one of his eases living at home
in a family of eight persons refused tc
take precautions and at the end of one
year five of the eight were infected
with tuberculosis. DR.. Lee K. FRANKIE
of New York emphasized the fact that
in strife for control of the disease, We
are losing sight of the fact that we
are doing little to find out the cause
Of the disease, and as yet know moth
ing definite. 1t is believed to be al
oceupational disease, and yet the Goa
miner, working away from light ant
in dust, is less susceptible than thc
clerk.
\ suggestion was made that a re
quest be sent to the surgeon genera
of the. United States asking that tn,
government appoint a commission t
study this disease, just as they hay,

KEADY AND COHEN"
IN RAIN IMITATION
Tried to Make Their Side Line at Col.
lege Proftable-How Prominent
Athletes Get Through College.

1t s only human nature that athlete
worshiping students and graduates of
a college should wish to make seholas-
tic life as easy as possible for their
football and baseball players who can
count on little OR no financial assist
ance from home in their efforts to gain
on education. If there are any soft -
jobs to be had, athletes will be found
holding them in a majority of cases.
At Lchigh, Jim Ready and Chenowith,
the quarterback who had his leg broken
in the Yale game, enjoyed a monopoly
Of renting the wicker-woven discs
used for softening the austerity of
blcacher boards and for protection in
case rain should make the seats wet.
At the opening game of Lchigh S
home schedule the weather was so fine
that the renting of cushions brought in
very small returns, and the monopOists
were Disguised. There was a slight
rain during the morning of the next
game, but later the sun came out, and
the seats began to dry off in an alarm
ing manner. Shortly after noon, Off
GERS of the athletic association discov-
cred Ready and Chenowith engaged
with hand hose in giving an excel
lent imitation of a heavy storm. The
future capitalists were compelled to
cease their emulation of Jupiter Plu-
vius.
Higgins, the crack end at Penn State
college, is enabled to 90 through col
legc comfortably. Military drill is
compulsory during the freshman year
at Penn State, and Higgins obtained
the agency for the uniforms required.
At Dartmouth, when Engehorn, the
tackle, graduated, there was almost n
sigh of relief from the smaller fry, for
the departure Of the big Moose re-
leased several of the very profitable
Jobs which a college in a country vii

Arlington and Exeter athlete, has the

Instances could he multiplied indef-
nitely of college athletes for whom the
way is made as easy as possible, and
ii is also fair to say that in very
many cases athletes show as much in
genuity and determination as the book
worms in digging up or creating jobs
for themselves.

MANY PARDoNs BY WILSON.
Indications That He Will Exceed the
Presidential Record.

WASHINGTON, Oct 81. - Presi-
dent Wilson ranks with Lincoln
and Mckinley as a "pardoning Pres
ident,'' and when the complete record
of pardons and communications during
his term in the White House is com
piled, officials of the department of
justice declare their belief that Wilson
will stand Mt the head of the list in the
matter of utilizing the executive power
to grant clemency to federal prisoners
''Taft was a mereiful President, but
he had a judicial mind and was in
clined to sit in Judgment on pardon APP
plications as if he were on the bench, -
an official of the department of Justice
said in discussing pardon records.
Wilson is not influenced as much By
the law as by the heart, and in this
way he is much like Lincoln and Nc
Kinlev. Roosevelt pardoncd fewer
criminals and reversed more recon.
mendations of the department of jus
tice than any President in recent
years. He believed crime should be
punished, and where judges and iurics
had acted, he was Ioath to interfere -
The official record of the pardons
during the Wilson administration will
be available when Attorney General
Gregory makes his annual report to
congress in December This report.
however, will only cover the period up
to June 30 last, and will not include
the greatly increased number Of par
dons and combinations which the Pres
idcnt has allowed in the last three
months.
