The work will be further extended by the admission at an early date of patients in the advanced stages of the disease from outside the Province. The Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire have undertaken to furnish and equip a ward for child patients afflicted with tuberculosis, and this work is now well advanced. The need is felt for an institution for patients in the advanced stages of the disease, who do not need to seek charity, but are willing to pay for their maintenance. Steps have already been taken by the trustees to meet this need by the erection in the early spring of a Sanatorium for pay patients in the advanced stages of the disease. This will be made possible by the handsome gift of $10,000 by Mr. R. Mulholland, and supplemented by $5,000 from Mr. H. C. Hammond."

The projected Ohio State Tuberculosis Hospital will be built within a few miles of Mt. Vernon. Definite decision to this effect has been made by the State Tuberculosis Commission.

National Association Meeting. The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis will hold its second annual meeting in Washington on May 17, 18 and 19. Two new sections have been established, one on surgical tuberculosis and the other on tuberculosis in children. The Situation in New York. The third annual report of the Committee on the Prevention of Tuberculosis of the Charity Organization Society, of New York, contains the following: "The tuberculosis situation in New York city is unique. At once we have, though not the highest death rate, a larger number of deaths and a far greater number of cases of sickness than any other city in the country at the same time that we have a system of public and private control of the disease that with more candor than modesty we may claim as the superior of any elsewhere existing in the United States. "A pioneer in the now rapidly spreading movement for the prevention of tuberculosis, the Department of Health has developed a system of administrative control so comprehensive and efficient that of the many causes at work in this city to save the waste of life from tuberculosis, the chief credit belongs to it for a reduction of nearly 20 per cent in the death rate from this preventable disease in the Boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx since 1894. The Department of Public Charities maintaining 3.959 patients in its own hospitals during the past twelve months and in the same period paying for the maintenance of an average of 788 patients per month in private hospitals which care for the consumptive poor; the eight special tuberculosis dispensaries with their attendance of thousands of patients during the past twelve months; Bellevue Hospital, with its reception wards, clinics, visiting nurses and tents, and the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor, with its seaside camp for the treatment of non-pulmonary tuberculosis among children; the Diet Kitchen Association; the United Hebrew Charities and the Charity Organization Society - these are additional large factors in the treatment, the cure and the prevention of tuberculosis. There are still other forces, whose connection with this preventive work, while not direct, is essential to a comprehensive and successful general scheme."

Fowler's Block The Hygiene of the House. The late Dr. S. Oakley Vanderpoel, who was a most efficient health officer of this port, in answer to a question regarding the best disinfectants for an infected ship, replied that he was always satisfied when he could allow the fresh winds of the bay to sweep the cabins and the sunshine to paralyze and kill the noxious agents, says the New York Herald. This was before the days of germs and before bacteriology had proved that these are even now the main means of overcoming unsanitary conditions from any cause. The same doctrine applies as much to our homes as to our ships. The thousands who are at this time putting their houses in order have abundant opportunities of proving the practical value of this very simple method of disease prevention. Clean and well-ventilated apartments are always safe habitations in all weathers, in all seasons, and are the main factors in reducing sickness and mortality in any community. The great consideration is not only to make them so, but to keep them so. It is a question of ceaseless detail and the constant care of little things. The sanitary arrangements of the modern domicile are growing more and more complicated. In most well-regulated and well-appointed houses the number of servants far exceeds that of the family. It requires no small executive ability on the part of the housewife in any station to have all the necessary work run smoothly. Unfortunately, the things most neglected are often those of great sanitary importance. The cellars and drains, for instance, are striking examples in point. What should be the cleanest part of the house is often the receptacle of every kind of rubbish that can be hidden and packed in the darker corners. The cellar The Red Cross being out of sight is usually out of mind. The hot-air furnace that is to supply the heat for the coming winter may still hold the cinders of the last fire, its flues may be choked with the accumulated soot of months and the registers filled with the dust from the sweepings of spring and summer. How much these conditions may have to do with the stuffy character of the heat supplied to the family during the long winter months to come needs hardly to be mentioned. The dust problem is one that must appeal to all, particularly to such as must live in closelypacked rooms for months at a time. We are |
