AT WHAT TIME OF
LIFE DOES TUBERCULOSIS
INFECTION OCCUR?

The fundamental importance of in
lection during childhood for pulmon-
ary tuberculosis in adults seems to be
n ore and more generally supported by
ti-ose who have especially 10 do with
large clinical studies of the disease
Repeated demonstration of the we'll
nigh constant presence of healed or
latent tuberculous LESSONS in nontu-
berculous adults and the evidence of
the tubeI culin reaction as to the high
percentage of infections in childhood
have given support to the view ad-
vanced especially by Won Behring that
primary tuberculous infection oc-
ours Usually in children and rarely il
adults. A particularly interesting
study of the effect of exposure in child
hood on the occurrence of tuberculosis
i'll adults has been reported recently
by Wallgren from the pulmonary clinic
at UpsaIa. OF the hundred tuberculous
patients. ffty-one gave evidence of
childhood contact with tuberculous as
sociates, whereas of the hundred nor
NAL individuals, such contact was
found in but thirteen. Allowing the
usual unavoidable errors of statistical
studies based on clinical histories, the
disparity here seems to be far too
great to be merely accidental, and
must be considered as strong evil
dence for the importance of child
hood infection. The statement of Pol
LAX that the earlier the infection the
more serious the outcome also re-
ceives support from wallgren's statis-
tics. for of the fifty-one consumptives,
fifteen had been exposed during the
first five years Of life. whereas, of the
thirteen healthy prsons who gave a
history of exposure. in but one case
had that exposure been before the
sixth year While statistical studies
of this sort are extremely difficult
and time-conslming if conducted with
enough care and control to be worthy
of consideration. their value in the
vital problem of the control of tuber-
oulosis is so great as to make them
well worth the effort of those who have
access to suitable material, and 1t is
TO be hoped. says The Journal of the
american Medical Association. that
lsrger series of statistics on this topic
will soon be forthcoming to settle def
nitely this fundamentally important

BEAVER PARK PEOPLE
WANT CANNING FACTORY

Penrose. Colo, Jan. 21.~Beaver
Park farmers are beginning to feel
that canning factory here is almost
club invited E. X. Smith to speak
on the advisahiiity of a factory in this
section last Monday night. Mr.. Smith
put plant in at Grand Junction last
year. where he is now manager. and
during 1915 the output amounted TO
s34 900.
The factory would handle such sege-
tables as string beans, peas. pump
kin, cabbage, tomatoes and corn. These
would be contracted for at the be-
ginning of the season and seeds fur
nished to the farmers at a nominal
cost. OF course, fruit would be the
principal output from this section.
there are $4,000 cherry trees alone
on Beaver Park and an ordinary crop
should furnish 100 carloads of can
ned cherries. In all probability the
factory would contract for the cher
ries at five cents per pound. Mr..
0A14AbA unueTSldllu5 the CAM
ming business as well as markets, and
he guarantees to sell all that the fac
tory can produce A plant of the capa-
city planned would employ about 100
people during the canning season.
Such crops as peas and beans are
harvested in August and cover crops
of oats or rye can be planted and
plowed under in the fall
A. Cowie, the manager of Beaver
Park, accompanied Mr.. Smith to Colo
rado Springs Tuesday morning to
negotiate loan of $4,000 toward the
enterprise.
The directors of the Community
| club had meeting Tuesday and it
was decided to put the plan before
the local people in the following man
ner
Land owners are to be allowed, at
5000 share, one share for each acre.
Considering 1000 acres under culti-
ration this would bring a total of
$4,000. 1t is planned to build a fac
tory to cost approximately $4,000
and have a working capital of S1o.-
600.
The people here are thoroly inter
ested and the meeting Monday night
was well attended. the audience being
most enthusiastic. The Community
club has taken hold of the matter in
very busness-like manner, that is
satisfactory to everybody. In short
Beaver Park seems to have at last
awakened to the fact that the only
real success for community of This
kind is in cooperation. and while in
diyiduals have endeavored for some
time TO work up this feeling among
the farmers here. they have always
failed or met with very Indifferent re
suits. but the Community club has
gone TO the core of the matter and
all are beginning to pull together.
