HOTBEDS OF CONSUMPTION
Ponal Institutions in Many States Proved to Bo
Brooding Places
I'ltfiiiMAAj
WNrffyWwJt"WJjW9W2W
It is tho duty of tho state to protect
Its citizens oven thoso condemned to
pass a term of years In jail. Tho dan
ger to tho inmates of prisons, from
pulmonary disease, has only lately
been realized. A short timo sinco a
man who had served a scntenco in
tho Ohio penitentiary, declared that
to send him back meant death by
tuberculosis. Inquiry was made. Tho
head physician announced that tho
building was a hotbed of consump
tion. A prominent official stated that
a ten years' scntonco was equivalent
to condemning a man to death by
pulmonary tuberculosis.
Dr. S. A. Knopf, tho greatest Ameri
can authority on tuberculosis, was In
vited to visit tho penitentiary. With
out hesitation ho pronounced It tho
most unsanitary penal Institution ho
had ever seen.
Tho output of many .prisons is
enough, to convince of tho truth of tho
abovo statements. Tho sallow com
plexions, weakened bodies, sunken
chests of tho ex-convicts, all aro tho
stamp of murderous prison hygiene.
All tho rules for combatting tho great
whlto plaguo aro reversed. For sun
light, they aro given darkness; for
fresh air, a damp, musty atmosphere;
for out-of-door llfo a weary In-door
grind, a largo part spent within tho
narrow confines of a single cell.
Is It not enough to take from a fel
low bolng his liberty and appropriate
tho labor of his hands, without forc
ing him to llvo under such conditions?
Daro tho stato continue to condemn
any of its citizens to such a death?
Shall the sentence In a public prison
censo at Its legal expiration, or shall
tho poor victim continue to suffer
from its dlro effects until ho fills a
consumptive's gravo?
In this day of Antl-TuberculoIs
agitation, it would seem that public
institutions, whether asylums, schools,
prisons or assembly halls should be
tho first to bo brought under proper
sanitary conditions. It Is useless,
hopeless to educate tho masses In re
gard to tho euro and prevention of
tuberculosis and then maintain at
public expense hotbeds for tho de
velopment of consumptives to bo fin
ally turned loose in tho community.
The Tonic Use of Water.
Cold water Is tho universal tonic.
Tho best timo for taking a cold bath
for tonic effect is just after getting
out of bed In tho morning, when tho
body Is warm. A cold bath should
never bo taken when ono Is chilled.
Ono not accustomed to cold bathing
should begin carefully with water not
colder than 75 dog. F. Tho bath should
bo short, not to exceed a minute, and
for feeble persons not moro than fif
teen or thirty seconds when applied
to the wholo surface. Tho bath
should be Immediately followed by
rubbing and exerclso for fifteen to
thirty minutes. There should always
bo good reaction; that Is, tho wholo
surface, Including tho hands and feet,
should quickly become warm. Tho
Lath should not bo followed by lan
guor, headache, lassitude or other In
dications of cxcesslvo reaction. When
ono experiences such symptoms, tho
indication is that tho bath was too
long or too cold or not followed by
sufficient exercise. For feeble, very
young or elderly persons tho water
used should rarely be lower than GG
degrees to 75 degrees In winter. Tho
bath should bo taken In a suitably
warmed room.
As We Live, We Are.
If wo look down, then our shoulders
stoop. If our thoughts look down,
then our character bends. It is only
when wo hold our heads up that our
body becomes erect It is only when
our thoughts go up that our life be

dlo during the first year of their lives.
In Ireland, Scotland, Norwny and Swe
den, where children nro given better
care, havo more outdoor llfo, and
moro intelligent nttentlon Is given to

one-fiftieth ns many as in tho city
of Stetten, bolng ten per cent.
Physicians aro coming to recognize
that tho uso of cow's milk, which Is
infected with tho gorms of tuborcu
losls. Is ono of tho most active of
all tho causes of death among young
children. This should ho remem
bered in tho artificial feeding of in
fants. Tho milk should either be
boiled or well scalded beforo being
fed to tho Infant This rule should
bo universally obseryed for adults as
well as for children, nnd, if applied,

' A Safety Valve.
In tho Ladles' Homo Journal n
writer tells of an interesting visit
which ho paid whon a boy to tho
"Autocrat of tho Breakfast Table."
After breakfast Dr. Holmos took tho
of Tuberculosis
boy Into a basement room, which was
fitted up as a complete carpenter's
shop, and gavo him tho following ad
vice, which ho considered would bo of
moro valuo to him than anything ho
had over written:
"You know I am a doctor, and this
shop Is my medicine. I believe that
every man must havo a hobby that
la as different from his regular work
as It Is possible to be. It Is not
good for a man to work all th0"tlmo
nt ono thing. So this Is my hobby.
This Is my change. I llko to putter
away at these things. Every day I
try to como down here for an hour or
so. It rests me because it gives my
mind a complete change. For, whether
you bollevo it or not," ho added, with
his Inimitable chuckle, "to mako a
poem and to mako a chair are two
very different things.
"Now, If you think you can learn
something from me, learn that, and
remember It when you aro a man.
Don't keep always at your business,
whatever It may be. It makes no
difference how much you llko It. Tho
moro you like It, tho moro dangerous
it is. When you grow up, you will
understand what I mean by an 'out
let' Every man must havo an 'out
let' a hobby that is, in his life, and
It must be so different from his regu
lar work that It will take his work
Into an entirely different direction.
Wo doctors call It a 'safety valve,'
and It Is. I would much rather," con
cluded tho poet, "you would forget all
that I havo ever written than that you
should forgot what I tell you about
having a safety valve."
. For a Cold.
Tho daily cold bath Is ono of tho
irost effective safeguards against
taking cold. Of equal Importance is
abundance of fresh air In the sleep
ing npartment. Upon tho first symp
toms of "a cold," deep breathing ex
ercises In tho open air or In a well
ventilated room should be takon at
frequent Intervals. In nearly all
cases whero this simple treatment Is
taken, there will be no further do
elopment of tho cold, and tho symp
toms will disappear. A doctor con
nected with a large Institution for
children recently tried this method
upon tho Inmates with surprising suc
cess. "Thero is nothing," ho writes,
"moro Irritable than a cough. For a
time I havo been so fully assured of
this that I determined, for ono mln
uto at least, to lessen tho number of
coughs heard In a certain ward of
tho hospital of the Institution. By
tho promise of rewards and punish
ments. I succeeded In having tho chil
dren simply hold their breath when
tempted to cough, and In a little while
I was myself surprised to seo how
somo of tho children entirely recov
ered from the disease.
"Let a person, when tempted to
cough, draw a long breath, and hold
It until it warms and soothes every
nlr-coll, and somo benefit will soon
bo received from this process. Tho
nitrogen which Is thus refined acts
as an anodyne to tho mucous mem
brane, nllaylng tho deslro to cough,
and giving tho throat and lungs a
chanco to heal."
