Women's Clubs
Would T axe Lead
in Health Campaign

The South Carolina Federation Of
Women's Clubs, wishes to endorse
and cooperate with the State Board
of Health in its anti-tuberculosis
educational campaign. Many of our
women are alive to this menace that
steals upon them, even in the most
sheltered homes and takes its toll
from the loved ones. What can wo-
men do to keep this CHASTITY death
away? .
DR.. Mary Lapham, President Of
the Southern Medical Association In
address given in Bennettsville, told
Us some Of the things that we might
do. I quote from her "Organize a
campaign of instruction for the wo-
men of your State and teach them
that there is no safety for their chill
dren and their families but in dis
covering the beginning of tuberculo-
sis as soon as possible after they
start; and that the only sure way to
do this is to have their children ex-
amined regularly by competent
phyician. Teach them that good
health and freedom from exposure
are but aids and guarantees of safe
ty. If each club could have tuber-
culosis program and get the women
of their city to come, much could be
easily taught. -,
The periodical examination of all
school children should be insisted
upon by sthe women of South Caro-
lima. Led by the Club women. Who
knows what might not be accomplish
ed? A start must be made some
where, why not take the lead? Why
not be the first to undertake the
real prevention of tuberculosis? The
home is woman's kingdom. Its pro-
lection is woman's. work. Remem-
Der that one child out of every twen-
ty, and five children out of every
hundred is in danger from tubercu-
losis and systematic campaign to
save these children. Let one COM
munity do the work thoroughly and
show by the carefully kept records
the value of the work and the rest
will not be slow to follow.
If the Federation of the Women's
Clubs of South Carolina would make
this a part of their winters work and
carry out an educational campaign
under the leadership of these prin-
ciples, it is probable that the Clubs
Of other States would follow your
example, and if the Federation of
Women's Clubs of the United States
would make it part of their feder-
ated work, the force would be meal
culable. There is no knowing what
might not be accomplished if all the
club women of the United States un-
der efficient leadership, would unite
to prevent the development Of tuber-
culosis in their children by insisting
upon their being regularly examined
in the Public Schools by competent
physicians"
To do this cooperation with our
State Board of Health and with the
helm of the Press Association both
mighty forces in an educational cam
paign. Surely the women will be
aroused to do their part. Several
clubs are supporting district nurses
and in time we hope for County
Camps where the poor and the near
poor may obtain the right treatment.
Gus State with its dry climate, its
sand hills and pine woods, is especi-
ally adapted to aid US in this health
work. H ....

Lawyers Asked To
Aid Revision Work

The commission appointed by the
last General Assembly to revise the
General Statutes has sent out the fol-
lowing letter to the members of the bar
in this state, asking for suggestions as
to the WORK.
To the Members of the Bar of Connec-
ticut:-
The commission to revise the sta
tutes authorized by the last General
Assembly realizes the difficulty OF
avoiding all errors or omissions, but
desires, so far as may be, to correct
any which have occurred in the pub
lie acts passed since the revision of
1902, or, possibly, even in that revi-
sion. 1t has, therefore, decided to
request any member of the bar who
has discovered any such defect to call
the same to the commissions atten-
ton by communicating with it's
clerk. In this connection, however,
it is perhaps proper to Joint out that
the function of the commission is not
to attempt to improve the law by
altering it in any way, but merely to
codify it's provision as they now exist
in the last revision and in the public
acts since passed.
The commission will be glad also
to receive any suggestions as to the
arrangements or form its work should
take or any other matters properly
within the scope of its duties. Thus,
it would like to know whether the
members of the bar would prefer one
volume, even though it be more cum
herson1e than the present revision, to
a division into two or more volumes
or the issuance of the index as a sep
arate volume ;also whether the time
has not come to substitute, in place of
the present system of annotations,
mere references to cases by name,
volume and page, without suggestion
as to the point actually decided

Coroner Finds No
Criminal Negligence
In Death of Murphy

Whether the American Tube &
Stamping Co. and the HeppenstaI
Forge Co. were bound to maintain
a railroad siding leading into their
factories at the foot of Howard ave-
nue. in such manner that it would be
safe for railroad employees, is a point
of law to which Coroner John j. Phe-
Ian calls attention in a finding given
today.
He finds that Patrick L. Murphy,
brakeman of freight train, came to
his death through no criminal negli-
gence. Murphy was crushed to death
between a car and the side of the
shed of the Heppenstal Forge Co. The
coroner also calls attention to the
fact that this siding was built 80
years ago and has been in use ever
since. In those days much smaller
freight cars were in USE No change
in the shed or the siding has ever
been made to meet the increased size
and tonnage of the new freight cars.
The coroner, in his report, calls att
tention to this.

CONTINUED on Page 2.)


Efforts to reach Mr.. De1bridge, clerk
of the board of assessors, today, to get
some infornation regarding what the
grand list might be, divulged the fact
that he was indisposed and that as
soon as he was able he would take a
train for New Haven to attend the
Mckinley association banquet there
An idea Of how the administration
has increased the lists submitted by
tax payers who opposed it, may be
gathered from the fact that the list of
$4,000 submitted by the Post Pub
fishing co. was lacked to 1907
The list submitted by the Warner
Bros. Co. was increased from $1,111,-
III to $1,361.2s0; of the Singer Mfg.
Co. from $1,000, 2S4 to s1.636,S54, and
of the D. NJ. Read Co. from $153,76O
to S216,O61.
William E. Seeley, president Of the
board Of superintendent, submitted a
list of $16.775 and was increased to
$4,000.
