URGES BEST CARE
FOR TUBERCULOSIS
DR.. Robinson Bosworth Says
County Is Badly in Need
of New Hospital.

II the advice of Or. Robinson Roa.
worm, OF Minneapolis, executive see
rear OF the advisory committee on
tuberculosis in Minnesota, Is accepted
DS uhe hoara Of trustees Of the Mem
pms and Shelby County T~uberclloSis
hospital, the proposed Oakvfiie Memo
RAJ sanitartum will be constructed ana
equlpped according to the highest
ahaar for tuberculosis hospitals OF
is size, DR.. BoswoFth, who Il A Wis
ltor IN Memphis, expressed rhe opinion
Naat me trustees should strive to erect
an Ins5ftutlon or the highest class on
q small scale rather than a large one
on q poorly equipped basis.
theTe As a crying need in Memphis
Ahd shelby county for a tuberculosis
sanltarium that will accommodate from
900 to 500 patients. DIR. Bosworth said,
put the funds to be available will not
pc much more than 5000, 900 and will
hot pc suttlclent to erect anb equip a
sanitarium that will accommodate more
than l50 or 200 patients.
Dr. 'Bosworth has in mind khe mainte-
nance OF a farm colony on the i'm
proved farm lands in the large site
purchased at Oakvile. This, he be-
iieves, would solve the problem OF ex-
tending the time a consumptive may
remain under the treatment OF the hos
pitai and diminish the number OF re-
iapses that are always occurring when
patients leave tuberculosis s~anitariums
too soon. The time is always limited,
DR.. Bosworth said, when a consump-
tive can or will remain in a sanitarium.
Most patients want to leave as soon
as they begin to show any real i'm
provement. When they quit the sani-
tarium they generally return to the
same conditions which caused their ill.,
ness, and 1t is not long before they
are again Ill. lie proposes to preclude
this situation by employing the CON
valescents on the cultivated lands
around the sanitarium until their cure
has been completed, Or. Bosworth
thinks the plan might even be worked
out to, the extent of arranging for men
to bring their families to the farm
colony during their stay.
DR.. Bosworth said 1t might be stated
that there is now virtually no real
provision for treating consumptives In
this county. The present tuberculosis
sanitarium he considered more or less
horrible" The only eason he could
see why it may not actually injure
the patients who go there for treatment
Is that they may possibly meet condi-
tons a little better than their home
surroundings. For many patients, he
said. it was a more comfortable place
to spend their last days than their
homes.
Or. Bosworth addressed the Kiwanis
club along these lifes Wednesday noon.
L. W. Hughes, secretary Of the board
Of trustees of the tuberculosis hos
pital, is In Nashville to arrange for
the proper consideration OF the bond
issue measure. w. b. Cleveland, chair
man Of the board, said Wednesday that
as soon as the bond issue has beer
authorized the trustees will go ahead
with their plans.

DOROTHY DIX'S TALK.
CRUEL DOMESTIC WIT.
BY DOROTHY DIX,
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer

The thing that has kept me from
marrying said a bachelor the other

q horror Of being made q figure Of
fun, and having q sAarchiEht turned
on the ahsurdity Of all Of my little pc
euiiarities in order 10 get 3 laugh and
show what 3 clever jokesmith ! am

And my observation shows me that
such is the fate of the married. The
domestic brand Of wit is Of the flaying-
t~hem-slivs kind. and is subject to no
law Of good taste, or KIND feeling. 1t
consists of the husband pitilessly ex-
posing hiE wifs's every weakness, and
the wife holding up to public mirth her
husbands eceentricities and mistakes.

cutting speeches that people who are
