Revision of the county tuberculosis
hospital law will be urged by officers
of the Oregon Association for the Pre
vention of Tuberculosis at the annual
'meeting to be held in Room H, Central
library, tomorrow afternoon at S
o'clock.
A state subsidy for free patients at
county hospitals is advocated, a sum
of from J3 to f5 a week for each pa
tient received, and it is also declared
that the present law should be changed
to provide for the admission of pstlents
,to county hospitals who are able to
pay in whole or In part. At the pres
ent time the law reads "for the care
of the tuberculosis poor." The asso
ciation will work, too, for the location
of tuberculosis hospitals on other
places than county poor farms.
Breeds lilore roads.
A. L. Mills, president of the asso
ciation,! In his annual report, advocates
a larger appropriation for the state
hospital so as to provide more beds
and urges that the legislature give the
county commissioners authority to em
ploy visiting nurses.
"The chief factors in the control of
tuberculosis are: First, to locate the
case; and second, to furnish relief to
the sufferer and to protect the com
munity from infection. This means the
employment of visiting nurses, he says.
As an instance, he points to finding
of 249 cases of tuberculosis in one
Oregon county In a survey conducted
by a nurse of the association, where
but 23 cases had been reported to the
state board of health.
Kach work Done,
During the past year Mr. Mills shows
that the association has:
Secured a statewide observation of
tuberculosis Sunday.
Furnished tuberculosis literature for
the rural schools of the state.
Furnished tuberculosis literature for
the Visiting Nurse Association and the
free clinic.
Furnished literature for the of the
association's survey nurse.
Inaugurated a tuberculosis aurvey
of the state.
Accomplished much in the way of
education by seal sales, especially in
the schools.
Is arranging, in conjunction with the
University of Oregon, to establish a
publio health bureau in .the extension
division of the university.
Survey Is Good Work.
Although organized but a year ago
the Oregon Association for the Pre
vention of Tuberculosis has now 92
enrolled members, according to the
report of Mrs. Saidle Orr Dunbar, sec
retary. Funds have been aecured by
the sale of Red Cros3 seals throughout
the state to the amount of $4758.70
and donations and dues. The asso
ciation pays the salary of one of the
Portland visiting nurses and has done
considerable relief work in providing
drugs, diet and the like.
The association's most important
work at the present time, according
to Mrs. Dunbar, is its survey. Two
counties have been completed and a
third is nearlyv finished. It is hoped
to have Hhe state board of health
share the financial responsibility.
Plans are now being made by the
association and the Visiting Nurse as
sociation to establish a regular sys
tem for tho collection of waste paper.
Collection will be put in the hands of
a business manager on a commission
basis and the publio is asked to donate
the paper, thus contributing to the
work of both organizations without
hmaklng a financial outlay. This plan
is successfully followed In St. L.ouls
where 18,000 families regularly do
nate their waste paper.
Officers for the ensuing year will
be elected at tomorrow's meeting.

Presage -Teuton Defeat?
When a nation whose king is a Hohenzollern, whose guns were made in Germany, and
whose commercial interests link her closely with the Central Powers, enters the war on the
side of the Entente Allies for the sake of her "national aspirations," it may be taken, remarks
the Newark News, "as a carefully considered verdict as to the outcome of the world conflict."
According to the New York Commercial, Roumania has plunged into the war for only one
reason, "she believes that the tide has turned and that she has much to gain by taking the
winning side." On the other hand, the New Yorker StaaU-Zeitung says that the new devel
opment in the Balkans is far from being as bad for Germany as it looks, and other pro
German sympathizers think likewise.
In THE LITERARY DIGEST for September 9th, there is a striking article, graphically
illustrated, which shows this latest phase of the great European war from many angles. Re
sponsible newspaper opinion in America and Europe is presented so that the reader may know
exactly how Roumania's entrance into the war affects the general situation.
Among other articles of great interest in this number are:

event of the struggle. That is just what THE LIT
