When, If ever, we augment our
military or naval preparedness to
such a degree as to suggest to ration
al, informed minds that we are over
doing the matter of self defense. and
planning aggression. then will be
time enough to protest. Further
more, in considering this we should
take into account the need of ability
to attack on THE part of a navy

Dr.. Reed Tells OF Dangers
OF Contraction From Tuber-
cuIOSiS Germs.
Charles A. L. Reed. M. d.
Former President EOf The American
Medical Association.

You, but no more than other people,
are deadly exposed to the germs of tuber-
culosis. All of US would get this decimat-
ing disease if it were not for our powers
of resistance.
One reason for the widespread dis
semination of these dangerous germs, as
pointed out by Bolton Thompson, based
on observation in England, is the an
controlled movement Of numbers of
patients of pulmonary consumption.
Several of them take rooms in a health
resort out of season, having left a small
town on account of their health. They
do not consult a doctor if they can help
it. They are not notified and they live
under no restrictions whatever. There
are many landladies who are willing TO
take them, and declined to pay more than
a minimum of attention to the cleanli-
ness of their rooms.
At the beginning of the season the
tuberculosis tenant is turned out and the
rooms are let to a succession of visitors
without being disinfected or even prop
erly cleaned. Sometimes even the blaD-
kets are not changed. Very possibly
the new tenant is a person with low bodi-
ly resistance, recuperating after infu-
enza, or a delicate child who spends
some time playing on a floor thick with
infected dust.
1t is probable that many people date
their infection from surroundings of this
kind tuberculosis Care Committees
meet a few of these cases, but the large
majority are never heard of. A few
examples from the book of a Care Com
mittee, as reported by Thomson British
Journal of tuberculosis are:
An e%x-service man, pensioned for tuber-
c~ulosis, who lived alone in small, dirty
room, crowded with furniture and hang.
