Cl? TO WAB ON
TUBERCULOSIS
Health Board Asks Authority to
Isolate Sufferers Who Are
Menace to the Public.
Atlntr. 1 health officers will have au
thj.ity to investigate suspected eases
of tuberculosis, report them to the
board of health and send the patients
to the Battle Hill sanitarium when this
1s deemed necessary, if council follows
the recommendation of the board.
This step places the 'white plague'"
In the list of recognized transmissible
diseases and will do a great deal to
ward checking its spread in Atlanta.
Th? Anti-Tuberculosis association
and the board of health will work to
gether, not only to save patients them
selves. but to protect the well from in
fection. It is shown by the board that
laundresses, coughing from the white
plague, are delivering Infected clothing
to thousands of homes; that negro
nurses, wasting away under the dis
ease are carrying x\ z hite babies in their
arms, even sleeping beside their infant
charges, and spreading the dlseaM*
among children There me many homes
where a tubercular sufferer is pe mit
red tn sleep and eat w ith the rest of the
family without the slightest effort at
isolation. The enforcement of the new
ordinance, if It is passed, undoubtedly
will stir up angry opposition, but the
board believes it will do a great deal
foi the great mass of humanity, even
at the expense of individual inconven
ience.
The board reported at its meeting
that typhoid has decreased 50 per cent
1n Atlanta in the last year, and It is be
lieved that the enforcement of stringent
regulations against typhoid breeding
renditions has largely been responsible
so the Improvement. Physicians who
failed to report cases of typhoid were
censured.

Yuh Jest Cain t Lose Thet Jedge Briles, Nohow
DECATUR STREET IS SAD
Decatur street is plunged deep In
melancholy, and up and down its col
ored and crowded way Glooms stalk in
hob-nailed boots, and the dusky deni
zens thereof will not be happy or in
any large measure consoled.
"Jedge Briles,” a chicken—begging
his honor's pardon—that Decatur street
opined it had lost forevermore, has
come home to roost again, and all
scheduled jollifications and celebrations
have been culled off!
When, on the face of the late elec
tion returns, it looked as if the judge
had put one over on his adversary.
Pottle of the court of appeals bench.
Decatur street heaved a sigh of relief
and from its left ear to Its right spread
a grin that was child like and bland.
Even when the first news was shown
to have been premature, and it became
certain that Broyles had not defeated
Pottle, but bad tied him merely, De
catur street, while visibly disappoint
ed. still did not rel&pse at once into
despair.
It thought "Jedge Briles" would yet
get away with the bacon somehow—he
always has. so far as Decatur street
knew.
But now that the state convention is
over and Pottle has been awarded the
plum Decatur street had figured to be
Broyles' very own. Decatur street i«
down in the mouth again and all the
world Is dark and drear?. Vanished
are the exultant and all too pleasing
Joys of yesterday!
