After the regular monthly luncheon at the Hurvey hotel Tuesday evening the members of the Commonwealth Cluli enjoyed a paer prepared by Dr. I.

M. Steed on the Cure of the White Hague. That the oieu air uud a healthful elimate are the moat important factor in the enre of tuberculosis was affirmed by Dr. Steed, who has spent eleven veurs in Deming where many sufferers have received new lease on life, AN INDOOR DISEASE Tuberculosis is notoriously an indoor disease. Infection in the open air probably rarely, if ever, takes place.

Direct suns rays quickly destroy the virulence of the tubercle hucilli. It bus been demonstrated thut bacillary sputum exposed to direct sunlight for seven hours was rendered incapable of producing a lesion, but retained it iufectirity seven duys. Dust collected from bedrooms has been found to be in tec tious after four months, therefore houses vacated by careless cousump- i lives inuy he a source of infection to succeeding tenants over a considerable period if thorough disinfection or renovation is neglected. Bedding uud personal clothing of consump- tives should be frequently setrilized. All articles of bedding, clothing, uup- kins, etc.

sent to the laundry should be sterilized before they ate put into the general wash. The public drinking cup should be abolished as it is great source of danger. Cold drink stands, ice cream parlors, restaurants, should be compelled to disinfect their dishes after being used by an individual. Even barbers should he comjielled to sterilize their razors, brushes, etc. All sputum and other excretions should be destroyed.

preferably by being burned. Tuberculosis is both contageous and infectious, therefore too great care cannot be taken in preventing the spread of so dangerous a disease. How should disinfection be accomplished? This is a very' un-(xirtaut part of the subject, but very little understood by the laity. Chemical disinfection of premises previously occupied by tuberculosis in-; valids is of doubtful efficacy if not followed up by thorough scrubbing and demising, but in the case of dwellings should be practiced as a preliminary measure. The most effective fumigation is by means of formaldehyde gas.

The contents of the apartment should be moved out from the walls, mattresses placed on edge, clothing hung loosely on lines, rags lifted from the floor and everything so arranged us to permit the freest exposure to the gas. All op-1 filings should he sealed with paper strips or some other suitable material, Sprinkle the floor with water, then for every 1000 cubic feet of room I space use 8-dram formaldehyde, sprinkling it over the floor, under the beds, as was the water, leaving the apartment dosed for at least twelve hours. After the apartment has been dosed for twelve hours it should he thoroughly cleansed by scrubbing the floor, with soap and water to which lysol, carbolic, or chlorinated lime should be added to the volume of twTo percent. It is only within recent years that there has been any effective organized campaign looking to the prevention of tuberculosis. The last decade of the nineteenth century witnessed the beginning of the struggle, hut no practical advance was nmde before 1900.

Since then the movement hus gathered force with each year, and the present outlook is very promising. As is inevitable in any great sanitary movement of the sort, much energy and money have been wasted, lint, on the whole, efforts have been rightly directed and in the main, have brought encouraging results. The factors concerned in the spreud and development of tuberculosis are many and complex. They nvolve more than the mere bacteriology of the disease. They bear upon almost every aspect of the life of the community; its housing; its social customs; its dietetic habits;.
