Never has it been my privilege, to hear the tuberculosis problem discussed with such intelligence and enthusiasm. Preventive medicine is far in advance of what is socially and economically possible. The expert in prctntive medicine may know how to present, modify or control disease; the problem often is to create public sentiment and provide the necessary means for carrying out the m asures known to prevent disease. The hopeful feature tf this conference was that so many interests could ho concen-

Where these -open air schools are in

eperation it has been found that the children giln in weight, are able, to keep up with their work and in every way are improved. The open air school not only provides for the open air school room, but these children are. supervised with reference te feeding, clothinicr, exercise and rest. There i.s need of open air school facilities in South II' ml. Some time apo I was asked concerning the need of an epen

in oar city and I believe the day is not far distant when some of theso rale, wek. anemic youngsters I see in our schools will be given the aelvantage of the open air school. I 'd ne at ion Xoctled. The greatest problem with reference to tuberculosis remains unsolved. The eare and supervision ef the advanced case of tuberculosis is absolutely essential before much progress can be made in stamping out this disease. The patient with tuberculosis, living at honie or possibly working at a shop r yoing to school can spread more t u b.i eulosis in a week than we can take eare of at our local hospital in a year. This great problem is so ast and ditlicult that it will require time and much agitation before real and e!ietual control can be exercised over the advanced cases. .Many of them can be taught how protect those around them. In a properly conducted tu bei eulosis hospital ;hero is not as much danger of contra .-ting tuberculosis as there is on the- stnet or in a theater. At the hospital the patients are taught, and watched to see that they do, properly tl'spose of sputum. They are not permitted to spit anywhere, everywhere and at all times. The tub, re-ulosls I'.uient is not necessarily a menace- to others. r.nt at present there is little or no supervision over patients with ael-

i valu ed tu ?u rculosis. Recently we jhae had attention called to two va-'?-!; nt.-, with advanced tuhremlosis. I What a rv we oing to do with tlusc ! poor wandering hopeless victims ef ' tul crcu!c -is V At present there is

-Which means a great deal io buyers of coal.

In the ordinary way of handling coal, the coal is shoveled from car to the bin in many cases from the car to the wagon and from the wagon to the bin from the bin to the wagon and from the wagon to the basement. Three shovelings, and sometimes four, in all. Think of it!

H fjMi Each one ot' tliese shovelings breaks up the coal and makes 7' slack, dirt and dust, a kind of cal that you do not want.

In this new plant, all this shoveling except that into your basement is eliminated. All the breakage and the attendant dust and dirt is done away with and your coal comes to your basement practically the same"as it comes from the Breaker at the mines. "But I use "forked" coal. Did you say that? Forked coal cannot possibly equal the coal from our new plant in cleanliness and freedom from slack, dirt and dust. The. shoveling operations from car to wagon and from wagon to bin are not "Forked" operations, but shoveling, so the breaking and deterioration of the coal goes on just the same and the mere fact that you pay for forked coal does not mean that vour coal, in evenness, freedom from "dirt, etc., can be equal to the coal that comes from the mines, which is practically what you get whe l you order your coal from us.
