TIIK GARDKN ISLAND TUESDAY. JANUARY 16. 1917 U6ERGULQS GASES LAST MONTH The anti-lubcrculnsis bureau of tin Territorial l)oirl of health has issued (lid following concerning the tuberculosis situation, which is published by request: The outstanding feature of the December report of the Tuberculosis I'ureau of tin hoard of lienltli, just issued is (lie large uunilier of cases that were added to the record. In all, new cases of (his disease were reported during that month, the second largest monthly leport in the history of the bureau. The largest was last February when were reported.

The average for the year is soincwhercs about a month. On the other hand there were comparatively few deaths, for where the bureau expects about forty a month from tuhcreulosis at this time of the year there were only thirty in December and fourteen of those were in Honolulu. Cases by Islands were Honolulu, 37; Oahu, 11; Hawaii, Maui, 20; Jpauai. 10. the total seventy-three were men, and forty-two were laborers.

It is notable to observe that fifteen cases of tuberculosis reported in December were of school children on various islands, sustaining the bureau's contention that it is in the schools where the greatest danger lies. As regards naiionali-ties, Japanese are very much in the lead for the month, with forty cases, Hawaiians and Part-1 Iawaii-ans having and Filipinos having 17. Deaths were distributee! as follows: Honolulu, ll; Oahu, Hawaii, Maui, Kauai, 8. Variety has no limit in the problems of the anti-tuberculosis cam paign to which each day brings a new perplexity to the ollicial bureau organized to light the great white plague. The multiplicity of these problems include many demands upon the charity of society which the bureau is not now capable of meeting as they vhould be met the best relief is being given with the means at hand.

The records of the bureau contain one case which so far from being an exageration of conditions is absolutely typical of scores of other cases. The bureau is not permitted by law to mention names but given publicity to the facts with the desire to invite suggestions and discussion. The family consists of a mother and six children consumption appeared in other branches of the family some time since. In this case, however, the mother was discovered by one of the bureau's district nurse in Honolulu and proved to have the disease in an advanced form. Two weeks after the discovery she gave birth to her sixth child.

She is dependent solely upon herself for support, her husband having left her, and her earning capacity is very low. The case, of course, demands social relief irrespective of the disease complication but the bureau points out that the continued residence of the children with the mother (and particularly thai of (he baby) threatens the entire family with eventual death from tuberculosis. The bureau points out further that several of the children have rl ready been proved to have the disease. The tenement room iit which all live is pitifully small and dirt v. The nourishment all receive is en-tirely inadequate to maintain health, much less restore health.

The woman cannot be taken to a sanitarium (otherwise open to her) because she refuses to leave her children. There is no adequate home where these children could be placed if she lid. Two of the children are tuberon- lous and should be separated from these not afllieted, but there is no home for tuberculous children worthv of the name. If this family were an isolated ease, says the bureau, society migl afford, from a cold-blooded view point, to ignore it. It is, however, one of very many.

It will indicate the broad relief measures which the Territory must plan for. This case not only calls for a sanitarium for tuberculosis (which is available) but it also calls for a hospital for tuberculous children and a home for predisposed and practically orphaned children, neither of which exist.
