FQULKE'S WIFE STUDIES DILLS TO END PLAGUE

Surrounded in her study .with copies of bills presented to legislature regarding publio health, Mrs. Mary T. R. Foulke an active worker for the welfare and health of the community, is making a survey of the needed laws regulating tuberculosis patients. Today Mrs. Foulke as chairman of a committee appointed by the council of the federation of clubs wrote to Senator McConaha, Governor Ralston and the two representatives asking their support of a bill to have tuberculosis cases reported to the health officers. She declared this bill would be the means of getting further .legislation of a more drastic nature to aid in the prevention of tuberculosis. Mrs. Foulke is a believer in the federal government marine hospital service which she says could effectively handle the tuberculosis system and prevent interstate traveling of tubercular persons. People Lack Knowledge. "All our people are not yet fully alive to the fact that tuberculosis is a contagious disease," Baid Mrs. Foulke, "and that it ought to be treated like other contagious disease, like small pox, the plague or yellow fever or typhoid that is, that those who suffer from it should be kept away as far as possible from those who are liable to take it, for instance, that the sick and the well ought not to sleep in the same room, use the same utensils for eating, washing, "etc. in other words that the chances of Infection should be reduced to a minimum. "For this purpose, camps and separate hospitals should be reduced to arate hospitals are desirable, for even the most careful home treatment cannot remove all dangers. The matter ought to be taken up not merely by the county or the state but by the Federal government, for the Federal government alone can prevent people afflicted with contagious diseases from immigrating from one state to another and thus coming into a new community and spreading the infection. "Our government already prohibits the immigration of tuberculosis persons from other countries and ought to prevent the disease spreading among different states. The marine hospital service does this sort of thing in regard to many other diseases why not tuberculosis? "Of course each community can do something to improve its own conditions but it cannot prevent those who are afflicted from coming in from the outside. The action of both the state and the federal government is needed. The one to control the matter within the state borders, the other to prevent the disease from spreading from one state to another." ALONG MEUSE FRENCH TAKE ; LONG TRENCH BY FRANKLIN P. MERRICK. PARIS. Feb. 18. Several successes for the allies along the entire battle front are claimed in an official French communique issued this afternoon. The French have made a particularly important gain between the Argonne forest and the Meuse river, advancing 400 yards. The statement follows: "It is now learned that the successful surprise attack which made us masters of two lines of German trenches to the north of Arras, northwest of Roclincourt, caused heavy losses to the enemy. We captured a bomb thrower and several hundred bombs. "In Champagne, in the region of Perthes, all the ground gained yesterday and the day before, has been held. "Our success between the Argonne and the Meuse reported in the con munique of the night of February 17 made us masters of a wood to the south of the forest of Cheppy. "In addition, we gained a distance of 400 yards to the north of Malancourt and nearly as much to the south of the forest of Forges. All these gains were held." GERMANS ADMIT LOSS. BERLIN. Feb. 18. (By Wireless) An official report from the German general staff issued this afternoon admits that the British troops on the road from Aras to Lille have made a slight gain and that the village of Norroy, north of Pont A-Mousson, has been evacuated by the Germans. The Germans are continuing their offensive against the right wing of the German forces, but the French attacks in Champagne have ceased. CONGRESS TO REST WHEN SESSION ENDS f BY LEASED WIRE.l WASHINGTON, Feb. 18. President Wilson, it was declared today, has abandoned all idea of an extra session of congress. A high official today stated that even if the ship purchase bill should fail of passage the president will not reconvene congress.

TO READ NOTE IN RIGHT VEIN BY FREDERICK WERNER. BERLIN, Via Amsterdam, Feb. 18 Criticism of the attitude of the United States by the German press reached a climax today when the Vosslsche Zeitung editorially warned that country that if It misinterpreted Germany's conduct after receiving the reply sent from Berlin to Washington, It would no longer be regarded as neutral.

I 1 j American view io me utmost DVaOTWing a convoy for merchant vessel or warships. "On the other, the note leaves no doubt that Germany is determined to defend herself against England's barbarism since the neutral countries are impotent or unwilling to bring pressure UDon Eneland to rcKncot the rifr. tates of international law. "Whoever, after this note still misinterprets the sense and nature of Germany's COndUCt Will. AR far ns wa nro concerned, be out of the ranks of the neutrals. PRAY AGAINST BILL BY LEASED WIRE.
