6 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.

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!
