Model conditions have been provided

tuberculosis patients, thereby giving
them a chance to earn living while
at the same time they are not subject

them to relapse to their former state.
The factory. located in New York, is
described in a current article In the
Survey Press Service and is but one of
number of features comprising an
effort to prevent relapses among ex-
tuberculosis patients.
The Survey Press Service story is. in

BILLY SUNDAY FLAYS
CHURCH AT BALTIMORE
Evangelist Says He Is Done With

Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
BALTIMORE, April 1.-The church of
Baltimore-clergy lay officials and the
rank and file-was subjected yesterday
by Billy Sunday to a verbal trouncing
which made the 10000 people who at
tended his services vince. 1t was a

understandable things that Sunday had
placed beyond the pale of Christians in
his twice preached sermon on "Amuse

To his audience of 5000 in the after
noon he declared that something was
the matter with Baltimore; that the
church here was more entangled with
the vices Of the world than that of any
city In which he had ever conducted
a .campaign. He issued significant
warning that unless conditions changed
speedily a new denomination would

At night. when calling upon his con-
yregation of $1,000 to send its church
members up the trail to pledge them
selves to lead better lives, he viewed
with cloud on his face that increased
with the passing minutes the scores
who trod the trail-when he was ex
pecting many hundreds And finally
he leaped to his chair, lifted his hand
and hurled forth this ultimatum:

Work Is Graduated.

The work in this factory is grad
uated both in difficulty and in time.
Some patients who at first could work
only an hour or two. are now doing
practically full-time work. The usual
accessories of welfare work are pres
emit such as lunchroom, restroom,
nurse service. etc. AS to wages, the
factory is conducted on a business ba-
sis. None of the patients are paid more
than they earn. and not less than the
union scale of wages.
Admission to the factory is strictly
limited by the doctors orders. No one
is admitted whose sputum contains
tubercle bacilli. And examinations are
repeated every month. Thus there is a
complete control over the factory con-
ditions, and patients work without the
danger of exposure to the disease from
an infected neXt-door neighbor.
Another thing that impresses the
reader of the committees report is the
thorough medical examinations. That a
tuberculosis dispensary finds need for
a dental clinic. in order that stop
may be put to "abcessed teeth pouring
pus into the system means an alert
ness to such medical progress as some

the relation between dental conditions
and systemic infections. The general

to a post with rope twined around me
