BUCKING TIIEPLAGUE How Los Angeles Proposes to Handle Tuberculosis.

"If means of prevention were real- ing false entries in the ledger and ap ly put into practice, declared ut. Pottenger, "I believe that tuberculo sis would be as scarce as smallpox in fifty years." The remedies suggested are edu cation enlightenment, the widespread dissemination of the means of pre vention. Dr. Pottenger gave the opening talk. "I am glad," he said, "that the .m wnrk. he- women are kimus k caues the women are doing things. They are interesting themselves in . . .... .. .i .:.u ,v. everything mat nas to uu welfare of the home and the lessen- ing of human suffering." He referred to their efforts in get ting public grounds and parks, and declared that he rejoiced when he learned last year that the subject of tuberculosis had been taken up as a special department by the Gen eral Federation of Women's Clubs. "The disease," he said, "attacks tne poor and the wealthy alike, but it is mainly a disease of the poor, because of insufficient nourishment, crowded conditions and unsanitary surround ings. There is 14 times as much tuberculosis around the Battery in New York than is found in the dis trict of Central Park." Tuberculosis, he explained, is a communicable disease .and Dr. Kress showed later that a single person may give out a billion bacilli in a day in expectoration and finer exhalations. Dr. Bridge explained that all ex- ' pectorations snouia ue ucsuujcu, mai in violent fits of coughing the patient should hold a cloth in front of, his mouth, and that the cloth should be destroyed. Carpets and rugs, Dr. Bridge denounced as a physiological abominations, and the wearing of a mustache or beard by a tubercular patient an unforgivable crime. Sun light and air were found to be better disinfectants than chemicals. The important thing in a case of ''tuberculosis, in the estimation of Dr. : Pottenger, is that the patient should know his condition, that he may take the proper precautions to guard against the infection of his friends. With these precautions, he declared, a tubercular person could be a per fectly safe companion, with no need of his being shunned and becoming an outcast. Dr. Pottenger also stated that tuberculosis is not hereditary. It, is in every case transmitted by care- ' lessness after birth, and is also a curable disease. He described the helping station that has been in existence for 18 months in Los Angeles for the benefit of tuberculosis victims. The poor are treated in a free clinic, and given in formation for protecting those with whom they come in contact. Over 200 have been treated at this station during the past 18 months. "This work," said the physician, "has cost a little over $500, and that to give to protect itself against this insidious foe." He spoke of the international con gress of associations for the preven tion and cure of tuberculosis, to be held in Washington next September, and expressed the hope that the ex hibits there might be brought to Los Angeles as an object lesson. Dr. Kress showed stereopticon views revealing miserable housing conditions and other causes that pre-J IUnnt t, tuberculosis. He said that England has reduced the death rate from tuberculosis 50 ner cent in the pasty "50 years by improving the hous ma conditions. The previous sneak er had already stated that New York still has 360.000 widovless rooms, "and yet we wonder why people ri ill," he remarked. One of the best means of prcven tion mentioned by each speaker is i city ordinance requiring compulsory resistration and fumigation. Th registration by the city of tuberculo sis cases does not entail any publicity or inconvenence to people affected, but it makes possible the supervision of cases that are not practicing th proper preventive precautions. Com pulsory fumigation in case of patients moving from one place to another included in such an ordinance. Los Angeles Times. it is alleged Coulthard has been mak propriating the money use.
