the local boards relative to report on
missionaries that show tuberculosis
Only few Of the counties have made
their report, although the order was sent
out some weeks ago. Those that have re-
ported include Washington and Orange
counties Basing an estimate upon the
reports from these counties, there should
be at least so persons within the draft
age who can secure the aid of the state
to care for themselves while they are still
in the ineipient stage of the disease. The
examinations have shown several in each
county that have lung trouble. The ply
sicians generally do not recommend to
the governor that persons should go to a
sanatorium until the disease is too far
advanced.
