> FUgnt.?Tuberculosis, its
lence, Costliness and Fatality
Miles Pointed Out.
'V '
t 10 o'clock Tuesday morning in
the Selwyn Hotel in Charlotte, the
Vorth Carolina Convention for the
Prevention of Tuberculosis, assembled.
After the preliminaries were
done in dne form the doctors plunged
into their subject with great earnestness
and zeal. Space will permit
of only the gist of the arguments
in favor of a vigorous warfare
'inst the "great white plauge."
i. f. Monroe said Tuberculosis
greatest enemy of modern peoj
that it must be exterminated.
^ ost hope to the afflicted that
cures are possible.
Dr. Harper said that it is estimated
that tuberculosis fatalities exceed
those of war, famine, plague
eholrea, yellow fever and small-pox,
all combined.
It was set forth that even in our
awn nation 55S people die daily of
the disease and that North Carolina
shares only too fully in the proportion.
Its courses are understood to be,
| hereditary tendency, laek of sufficient
clothing, living in infected houses
(which should be disinfected) lack of
ventilation, lack of cleanliness, un|
sanitary invironment, lack of
^ proper food, etc., which can
Iwa Bummca up id me term, Ignorance
on the part of the people as to the
nature of the disease and the means
of prevention and cure of it.
Poverty was given as a cause and
? result of the malady.
The cost of the dread disease as
brought out is an eye opener. When
it is considered what is the average
oarning capacity of victims, together
with costs of treatment while lingering,
an average estimate of $3,000
each is placed. Probably 200,000
people die in the United States every
yea^\>f this malady. Thus $1,600,j
000,000 worth of productive energy
ie cut off from our nation every year.

Four Articles in Its Creed.
1. Tuberculosis is our greatest
enemy.
2. Tuberculosis can be prevented.
3. Tuberculosis can be cured.
4. Tuberculosis must be exterminated.
How People Get Tuberculosis.
Dr. Minor: "We know that practically
the only danger of infection
arises from the expectoriation of
those Suffering from nnlmnnarw
colons, in their sputum is found the
Serin in large numbers and when
ried, reduced -to duet, and blown
around, it can under favorable conditions
(but not easily, it is ture, for
it with difficulty can infect man) produce
the disease in those in whom it
succeeds in getting firm lodgment.
."Street spitting we cannot hope
for a long time if ever to stop, but
if we can only teach that to spit
On a sidewalk, and not into the roadway,
is improper, we must and probably
can trust our good friend the
Sun to continue at the old stand undoing,
out doors at least, the bad
I effects of man *8 carelessness.
"It is indoor spitting that is dangerous
and which chiefly spreads the
disease, and this we cannot too vigorously
attack and seek to eradicate.
"Let the spitting habit be but once
stopped and let all sputum be properly
disposed of where it can do no
harm and scientists all recognize
that in fifty years or less tuberculoses
would be a rare disease."
How to Prevent Tuberculosis.
1. Destroy all sputum.
2. Disinfect all houses where there
have been cases of tuberculosis. This
should be done under the supervision
of the Health authorities of the town
or city.
3. Let the State see that all
are built in such a manner that the
inmateg will have plenty of fresh air
and sunlight.
4. Educate the people to the necessity
of properly ventilating their
sleeping rooms, stores, shops and
offices.
5. Dr. Lambeth says:
"Let the public school add to its
curriculum a coarse on feeding the
human animal. Time could easilv be
provided for this, moreover, a little
less study of the dead languages and
a little more study of the living man
would make it all the better for our
bodies and little worse for our education.
Let the course include the
physiological importance of nutrition,
the nutritive values of all the available
foods, the economic value of substance
offered for sale as food, and
methods of preparing the cheaper
foods in a more palatable manner."
In other words: Pure air, proper
food and plenty of it; and the de~c
*
-wuvwuii ui an sputum win prevent
tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis Can bo Cured.
1. An early diagnosis is essential
The patient should know the truth.
The doctor should tell him the truth;
and no time should be lost in seeking
wise and competent treatment.
2. Some cases can be successfully
treated at home. The best places ure
the hospitals, sanitariums, colonies,
resorts and dispensaries.
3. Medicine does not hold a very
large place in the treatment. It is
largely a matter of properly regulated
living for the patient. The
physician should be the teacher and
the patient the pupil in a school of
health. Implicit obedience on the
part of the pupil is the only hope.
Hundreds are being cured in this
way.
4. The convention asks the State
to help by providing a "North Carolina
Trainine R<?hr?nl fnr *
ment and Prevention of Tuberculosis."
The idea is to give a short
course of instruction to the patient
and then send him home and let
others come, till Anally the good news
is spread all over the State.
What the State Should Do.
Dr. Williams:
"I advocate that we request the
State to furnish sufficient funds to
provide literature for circulation
fcmong the people, in which will be
incorporated the instructions which
the people need. This literature
should be widely distributed, sent
into all hnmM on/1 K/> on ?
to be easilv intelligible.
"I advocate the publication of a
book, of forty or fifty pages. covering
in brief, the subject of tuberculosis.
compiled so as to be easily intelligible
to the most ignorant reader.
Let it be attractively gotten op.
so as to be worthy of a place in the
library of our people.
"The State should provide the necessary
funds for the publication of
such a book, and for the distribution
of it. It should provide for supplementing
the book with illustrated
lectures, to be delivered by competent
men all over the State.
"This book should be placed in the
schools; and teachers who have been
trained for th$ purpose, should be
selected to interpet it to the children.
The child has an impressionable
brain, and this needed instruction
would be sown in a fertile soil,
to bring forth, in a few years, an
abundant harvest of good for the con-1
trol of this disease."

FOR CONSERVATION
President Approves Report
of National Commission.
SENDS MESSAGE TO CONGRESS
U.ges Measures to Conserve the Natterity?Should
he Put in Effect
ural Resources as a Legacy to PosWithout
Delay.
President Roosevelt, Friday transmitted
to Congress the following
bearing on the conservation of out
natural resources.
I transmit herewith a report of the
national conservation commission, together
with the acompanying papers.
This report, which is the outgrowth
of the conference of Governors last
May, was unanimously approved by
the recent joint conference held in
this city between the national conservation
commission and Governor*
of the States, State conservation commissions
and conservation committees
of great organizations of citi
zens. It is therefore in a peculiar
sense representative of the whole nation
and all its parts.
The facts set forth in this report
constitute an imperative call to action.
The situation they disclose demands
that we, neglecting for a time,
if need be, smaller and less vital
questions, shall concentrate an effective
part of our attention upon the
great material foundations of national
existence, progress and prosperity.
The progress of our knowledge ol
this country will continually lead to
more acumte information and better
use of the sources of national
strength. It is not necessary that
this knowledge should be exact in
every minute detail. It is essential
that it should correctly describe the
general situation. The eonservaticn
of our resources is the fundamental
question before this nation.
Our population is now adding about
one-fifth to its numbers in ten years.
Many millions more, must be fed and
clothed from the products of our soil.
With the steady growth in population
?n/3 KA ? * *
vuv obiii mure rapia increase 111
consumption our people will hereafter
make greater and not less demands
per capita upon all the natural
resources for their livlihood,
comfort and convenience. It is high
time to realize that our responsibility
to the coming millions is like that
of parents to their children, and that
in wasting *our resources we are
wronging our descendants.
Our rivers can and should he made
to serve our people effectively in
transportation, but the vast expenditures
for our waterways have not
resulted in maintaining, much l"ss in
promoting, inland navigation. Therefore,
let us take immediate steps to
ascertain the i?a?ons and to prepare
and adopt a comprehensive plan for
inland*, waterway navigation. Our
forests are fast disappearing, and
less than one-fifth of them are being
conserved, and no good purpose can
be met by failing to provide the relatively
small sums needed for the protection,
nse, and improvement of all
forests still owned by the government.
Let us enact laws to check
the wasteful Haofim*!!/." ' ?
??- wv??iuvi'Wii ui nit* lorests
in private lands. The American
people stand nearly as a unit foi
waterway development and for forest
protection.
Mineral Reeonrces Wasted.
Our mineral resources once exhausted
are gone forever, and the
needless waste of them costs ns hundreds
of human lives and nearly
$300,000,000 a year. Therefore, let
us undertake without delay the investigations
necessary before om
people will be in position, through
State action or otherwise, to put an
end to this huge loss and waste, and
conserve both onr mineral resources
and the lives of the men who take
them from the earth.
The conservation of our natural
resources is of first consideration. If
we of thiR generation destroy the resources
from which our children
would otherwise derive their livlihood,
we reduce the capacity of oui
land to support a population, and so
either degrade the standard of living
or deprive the coming generations of
their rights to life on this continent.
If we allow great industrial organiaztions
to eexreise unregulated control
of the means of production and
the necessaries of life, we deprive
the Americans of to-day and of the
future of industrial liberty, a right
no lees precious and vital than political
freedom.
Tho administration which is just
drawing to a close, has at least seen
elarly the fundamental need of freedom
of opportunity for ewery citixe'n.
No man pod no set of men should he
allowed to plav the game of competition
with loaded dice. The unchecked
existence of monopoly is incompatible
with equality of oDortnnitv
The reason for the exereise of government
control over greet monopolies
is to equnlize opportunity. ?
Waterways.
Accordingly, I urge that the broad
plan for the development of our
waterways, recommended by the Inland
Waterways Commission, be put
in effect without delay.
The work of waterways develop
ment shonld be undertaken without
delay. Meritorious projects in known
conformity with tha general outline*
of any comprehensive pirn afceald
proceed ot one#. The coat of the
whole work should be met by direet
appropriation if possible, but if necessary
bv the issue of bonds in small
denominations.
It is especially important that the
development of water power should
be guarded with the utmost care both
bv the national government and b\
the States in order to protect the people
against the upgrowth of monopoly
and to insure to them a fair share in
the benfits which will follow the development
of this great asset which
belong to the people and should be
controlled by them.
Forests.
I urge that provision be made for
both protection and more rapid development
of the national forests.
Otherwise, either the increasing *?s:?
of these forests by the people must be
checked or their protection agaim-t
fire must be dangeroilsly weakened.
If we compare the actual damage on
similar areas on private and national
forest lands during the past year, the
government fire patrol saved commercial
timber worth as much as the
total cost of caring for all national
forests at the presnt rate for about'
ten years.
Lands.
The use of the public grazing lands
should be regulated in such ways as
to improve and conserve their value.
Rights to the surface of the public
land should be separated from rights
to forects upon it and to minerals beneath
it, tnd these should be subject
to separate disposal.
Thft r*nn 1 nil rrnc on<l r?Vinpr?^ot o
? ?uu pnvopuuvv
rights still remaining with the government
should be withdrawn from
entry and leased under conditions favorable
for economic development.
Minerals.
The consumption of nearly all nf
our mineral products is increashing
more rapidly than our population.
Our mineral waste is about one-sixth
of our product, or nearly $1,000,000
for each working day in the year. The
loss of structural materials through
fire is about another million a day.
The loss of life in the mines is appalling.
The larger part of these
losses can be avoided.
A part of the action of the joint
conference says: We also especially
urge on the Congress of the United
States the high desirablity of maintaining
a national commission on the
conservation of tehresourccs of the
country empowered to ?o-operate
with State commissions to the end
that every sovereign Commonwealth
and every section of the country maj'
attain the high degree of prosperity
and the sureness of perpetuity natlirollif
nmeinn tV* a
?? m*?j u? 10111^ in uic aiAiuuuaii'v i csources
and the vigor, intelligence,
and patriotism of our people.
In this recommendation I most
heartily concur, and I urge that an
appropriation of at least $50,000 be
made to cover the expenses of the
national conservation commission for
necessary rent, assistance and traveling
expenses. This is a very small
sum. I know of no other way in
which the appropriation of so small
a sum would result in so large a benefit
to the whole nation.

liner Republic with 7G1 souls
aboard, by the steamer Florida, of <
the Lloyd-Italian line. The wireless c
telegraph played an important part <
in the grave incidents happending at ?
sea, far from the shore, and proved t
its utility as it has never done before.
Bit by bit it told the tale, first an- ]
nouncing the news of the collision ,
and the plight of the liner, which ^
news came direct from the injured
ship itself. Then it told of the rescue
of the Republic's passengers, the
condition from time to time of the
sinking ship and finally summoned c
from the adjacent sens the White
Star line Baltic, the French steamer ?
La Lorraine, the Curnader Lucania 1
and the revenue cutters Achushnet
and Gresham.
At 8 o'clock p. m. the wireless 11
brought reassuring news from Cap- s
tain Ransom, of the steamer Baltic.
He said that the Remihlie was still "
afloat; that the Florida, with her c
own people and most of those from v
the Republic aboard, close to 2,000 15
souls in all, was nearby and that the
Baltic was near the scene, standing ?
by ready to lend aid. The steamers "
La Lorraine and Lucania. Captain a
Ransom said, were also in the vicinity
and the Republic through her wire- ?
less outfit, was directing the move- 8
ments of the shipe of rescue.
Until an early hour Sunday it was u
believed the crashing together of the a
two big ships had not resulted in
death of injury to a single passenger
or member of the crews. Shortly ?
after midnight, however, the wireless
telegraph flashed the news that two 0
passengers on the Republic had been 8
killed and two othere injured. Late
in the day another wireless message
told of four deaths on board the 0
Florida, either of members of tie
crew or steerage passengers. "
It is apparent that the Florida
must have been between 30 or 40 |
I miles off her course in being any- J
I where near the RaDublie. as the enst- I *
bound and westbound steamer lanes 8
here are that distance apart.
The collision, being amidship, al- *
most immediately flooded the engine 1
room of the Republic and of course 8
rendered her absolut-'y helpless.
Fortunately, her wireless equipment '
was well supplied with storage bat- '
terics and three were used for more '
than six hours, until they gradually
became exhausted. After that, re- '
course to signalling by means of sub- *
marine bells was adopted.
In the middle of the forenoon the <transfer
of passengers to the Florida *
was made, and although the fog was
very dense, unusuallv calm weather
for this season of the year in the
North Atlantic enabled the transfer (
to be ryde without accident. By 9
noon me waiuc and La^on-nine were u
close to the scene of collision, but ?
owing to the dense fog, were unable ^
to locate the Republic, although the
submarine bells could be heard fee- t
quently. d
