victims of tuberculosis ana Br1oge-
port is no exception. AS the initial
cost of endowing each bed In com
pIete sanatorium is about $1,V0o anu
as tuberculosis is spreading where
nreyentabIe means are not taken, 1t
would require about $75O,OO0 as the
initial cost of completing building
which would care for the present
number in this city. AS the annual
cost of maintaining one inmate IN an
institution for the period OF one year
is about $3.50, or 81 per day. the cost
of such an adequate institution Is
staggering.
ut may be of further Interest to
know that institutionalism, except in
the most advanced cases, is not par
ticularIy beneficial as it has been
found from research work that nearly
go per cent. of those discharged from
ysanatoria as cured actually die as
striking fact and should not be- over
looked in the question of tuberculosis
and the care Of those affected.
81 am informed upon good author
ity that the ultimate outcome of the
present controversy probably viii be
the suggestion that a sanatorium be
built here for it is known that the
isolation hospital is not fitted or ade-
quate to care for the many tubercu-
losis patients here, and such plan
should be frustrated in the incep7
ton.
1.-The only proper manner to care
for such cases is in the home where
that is possible. and as other cities
are doing successfully by means of a
corps of visiting tuberculosis nurses
each of which is able to instruct and
care for about 100 persons either af-
fected or threatened by reason of
their proximity to the affected per-
son The only means of graduating
the disease is by prevention in the in
cipient stages and by eliminating care
less contact with one afflicted. OF
course there are cases that need re-
moval and treatment in sanatoria, but
the expense of building here would
be immense and could not properly
be done within 100 years at the rapid
rate of increase of the disease. Pre-
vention in the home is the real solu-
tion."

VERMONT'S VOTE
is SIGNIFICANT

The Significance of Vermont's stand
against prohibition, it is said. is due
to the fact that it was one of the six
teen States which were voted dry
fifty years ago. Practically all of the
original sixteen prohibition States
have returned to the license system
1T is claimed by the liberal interests,
who say that the present prohibition
agitation has not the strength of the
wave of a. half century ago, allowing
for natural increase in the population
of the nation. They point to Inter
nal Revenue reports to prove that,
Notwithstanding prohibition, the con
sumption of liquor in the United
States has steadily increased in the
last fifty years
The liberals are enthusiastic over
the Vermont outcome, and as a re-
suit of the condition in Kentucky,
where the Legislature has passed an
amendment instructing the Blue Grass
representatives in Congress to vote
for the national prohibition amend
ment, only in the event that the liquor
industry is paid for its property, an
act which the prohibit onists absolute
ly refuse TO agree to.

Toledo Newspapers
Forced Bresnahan In
AS Baseball Magnate

Newspapers of Toledo practically
served an u1tin1atun the associa-
ton that unless Roger Bresnahan
were the owner of the club, newspa-
per support OF Association baseball in
Toledo would be withheld, writes
Ralston Goss in the Indianapolis
Star.
There are a couple of club owners
with whom that ultinatum does not
sit well. They believe it might be a
better solution of the problem for the
entire Association to finance the prop
osition and to place the club else
where. Some of the magnates re-
sent bitterly the attitude that Bresna-
han has taken. He has never evil
denced a disposition to put so much
as one dime of real currency on any
table to show that his talk has been
that he ought to have the club and
has intimated broadly that baseball
owes him a living and must help
him get the franchise. If baseball is
not willing to do that, the further in
timation is that Roger will play the
part of the well-known dog in the
manger and endeavor to throw STUN
bling blocks in the way, of any other
person who might be willing to spend
his own money in the effort to fur
nish Toledo with Glass "A base

O'HIGGINS.

The first of the O'Higgins clan to
gain place in South American history
was Ambrose known as
Ambro sio-who was born in County
Meath, Ireland, in 1870. and died in
Lima, Peru, 115 year ago today, March
IS, 1901. OHiggin went to Spain
when a young man, and then became
trader in Chile. Obtaining a COM
mission in army, he rose rapidly and
in 1888 was made captain general of
Chile. In 1895 the Irish soldier was
elevated to the post of viceroy of Peru
and in Lima he reigned with almost
regal pomp until his death. Even
more famous was his son. Bernardo
O'Higgins, who, after receiving his
education in England, returned to
South America to become the leader
of the Chilean rebels against Spanish
authority. With the assistance of a
force of Argentinos led by San Martin,
he drove the Spanfards from Chile
and was rewarded with the appoint
ment of supreme dictator of the
Chilean nation. His rule was benevo-
lent and just, like that of his father
in Peru, and he is honored by the
Chileans as their greatest revolution

Health Board Disagrees AS
Gordon Foists Dependent
On Them.

/ That a split is likely in the health
board became known today when
President F. w. stevens following an
informal conference in the Office of
Mayor B. Wilson when it was agreed
to have his board cooperate with the
board of charities in the handling OF
tubereuIar patients. At the last meet
ing of the health board 1Commisss oners
William Zepp, Dr.. David H. Monahan
and DR.. J. Henry Callahan were
strongly opposed to the board doing
work, they said was being evaded by
Superintendent Gordon Of the chari-
ties department.
superintendent Gordon this morning
ise.'ed the following statement:
cat an informal conference, Held
this morning, between Mayor Wilson.
President Stevens of the board of
health and superintendent Gordon of
the charities department, it was infor-
mal1y decided to work comparatively
in the care of those tubercu1ous pa
tients which cannot be admitted to
state sanatorium by reason of crowd
ed condition.
sit is probable that temporary
shacks will be installed under the
jurisdiction of the health board for
the care of those patients. AS a tenn
porarv measure the board of charities
NAV assist the health board financial
w with this project. The board of
apportionment may be asked to trans
fer certain funds from both depart
r1ents to this end.
At the meeting of the health board
Tuesday the matter was brought up
for discussion and during the meeting
SUPERINTENDENT Gordon was the butt
of a scorching attack by Commissioners
Zepp who was also backed up by Com
missioners Mona1aan and Callahan

cases. Zepp said The statutes also
saw. he declared that dependent per-
sons living within the city limits must
be sheltered and given food at the ex-
pense of the charities department
No members of the charities board
were present at the Informal meeting.
None of the other members of the
board of health have agreed to the
proposition. Commissioners zepp, Mon
ahan and Callahan insist that the
charities care for 4tuberculars
In discussing the question today a
noted charity expert, employed by
private funds said:
ssIt is a we'll known fact that little
good can result from the present
controversy, which in the minds of
many civic spirited citizens is beIiev-
ed to be a weHy1aid plan to urge the
necessity for the erection of large
sanatoriurn here. The charities de-
partment necessarily must provide
funds for the care of dependent resi-
dents suffering from tuberculosis, and
the board of health primarily is form
ed to prevent the spread of COM
disease.
THE situation is thus plain: Both
departments necessarily must contri-
butte their Individual and joint effort
for the protection of society. This
situation may further be resolved up
on this basis. It is known that ev-

An Additional Attraction For
Friday Night on Audi

Enthusiasm is running high among
local basketball fans because of the
games scheduled for Friday night at
the Auditorium between the first and
second teams of the Central and Tech
nical high schools.
While the Central varsity FIVE is eX-
pected to repeat its former victory
over the Maroon, there is much specu-
lation as to the outcome of the battle
between the second team. When the
teams met before, the Tech under
studies nosed out SO to So victory,
so that Friday nights contest is any
bodys game. 1t is probable that the
result will hinge largely on the ability
of Holland and Ziegler to cage fouls
for their respective teams.
