dren should be taught how to fight,
even If the training would benefit
them somewhat physically. Some
one suggested that school gymna-
Sums OF weIl-organized Fairgrounds
were of much more physical profit
to the children than soldier drilling
and not nearly so damaging to the
mind.
DR.. Robertson has been criticized
for the tuberculosis survey that is
being made in the district bounded by
Ashland av., State street, 22d street
and North avenue. His men are 60
ing into evey rrooming house, cheap
hotel and home with the object of
examining every one who lives in this
district to see if they are tubercular.
DR.. Robertson has been asked If it
is fair to force unwilling people to
submit to a physical examination. He
has answered that tits in the interest
of the welfare Of the whole people
that white plague cases should be ap-
pretended. But still some ask, if that
be true, why is not the survey made
of Sheridan road and DreXel boule-
ward, as well as the district where
the loweE-Waged workers live?
Primarily we are making this sur
vey to find out where. tuberculosis is
being developed" DR.. Robertson told
the c. F. of L. 1--WE will make a
chart of what we find and exhibit it
in the City Hall. Eventually the gov
eminent will segTegate tuberculosis
sufferers, it is such d dangerously
contagious disease"
While the delegates had Dr.. Rob-
ertson with them they made some
pertinent inquiries about the condi-
ton of the city water He answered
complaints of its bad taste at times
by saying it was necessary to use
LIQUID chlorine to kill typhoid germs.
The federation gave a rising vote Of
thanks to DR.. Robertson for his talk.
