To AVOID TUBI:RCulosiS.
Rules IVItieh, If Observed, Would:
Drive Ont Consumption.
A healthy body is the best protec-
tion against the tuberele bacillus or
any other disease -breeding germ.
Therefore, keep well by observing;
the following rimes: --
Live, work and sleep in rooms
Receded with fresh air and purified.
by sunlight every day, See that
your sleeping room is thoroughly
vcnt`.lated,
Use good, pure, nourishing food,
and thoroughly masticate what` you
eat.
Cultivate cleanly, temperate and
regular habits of living.
Avoid breathing dust --laden air,
In sweeping and dusting use a moist
broom and. duster.
Universal observance of these
simple rules would render unneces-
sary the maintenance of costly sana-
toria. A portion of the Kane Fd -
ward Fund of one million dollars
for Conemmntives will be devoted to
the spread of knowledge designed to
prevent the further increase of the
disease.

The telephone has been a great
factor in improving the health and
welfare of the community, accord-
ing to the view of the editor of The
Medical Review of Reviews, He
says:
With the development of modern
transportation, it was said that. the
oceans no longer separated America
from .Europe and Asia, but served
to connect them. In a similar way
it inay be said that telephones have
helped to bring physicians and pa-
tients together,
A Marked Decrease.
"The telephone has been a
mighty factor in improving the
health and welfare of the commun-
ity. Health bureaus have been able
th accomplish their work more ra-
padly and effectively by the use of
the telephone, Ambulance service
has been developed to a high state
of efficiency through the aiceessibil-
ity of telephones in all parts of the
community, Rapidity of service,
with promptness in 'phoning, have
served to save many lives that
otherwise might have been lost.
The private practioner, it is true,
has suffered a marked decrease in
his emergency calls through the re-
cognition of the value of arebr1:,ace
service and the ease with which one
may be' summoned by telephones.
In fact, the doctor's 'phone is fre-
quently iced to call the ambulance.
Only a few years aao the nearest
physician was called for minor con-
ditions at all hours of the night.
To -day the telephone saves mane a
lone• and needless journey. Fre-
quently, because of the knowledge
and appreciation that a physician
may be' quickly summoned bi'
'phone in ease of real necessity, the
doctor is not called at all, as some
transitory condition ' has disap-
peared before morning

In contrast to this small loss is
the' gain lthroueh ;elephone visits in
lieu of office calls: Such shone vis-
its may.,be regarded"as`.offlce visits,
on the ground that,if telephones did
riot exist it would be necessary for
the patient` to seek advice at the
office, 'Undoubtedly the .telephone
hate; ' enabled patients to cling to
their family physician after `mev-
ino from ' his -original 'sphere of
influence, whereas if there were
no telephones such loyalty would
have been impossible. Prof. Bell
and others who, followed him in' de-
ve'oping the telephone system add-
ed greatly to the comfort, happi
