end. This is a real danger, and should be carefully considered by every board of health. Without the connivance of some one connected with health boards patent medicine venders would find it impossible to obtain official lists of tuberculous patients.

Compulsory notification, with conscientious protection of the patient against annoying interference and publicity, should be the keynote of the campaign for the extermination of the tubercle bacillus. What vaccination has done for the restriction of smallpox, the destruction of the sputum of those ill with consumption has done and is doing for the restriction of that disease. If all patients would burn or disinfect their sputum the problem of restriction would be simple. It will probably be a long time before this can be brought about through the voluntary action of all individuals, hence the greatest good to the greatest number dictates that something more than moral suasion is necessary. Compulsory notification, with disinfection of sputum, rooms, etc., seems the only way to reach those

The tent described below is a simple serviceable model of a tent which can be used during eight or nine months of the year with perfect comfort. It provides efficient ventilation, can be warmed in moderately cold weather so as to be made perfectly comfortable, and can be readily erected anywhere at a cost of from $150 to $200, depending on the local cost of material and labor.

This tent will readily accommodate three beds and could be employed for four. Efficient ventilation is provided at all seasons, both by the windows and the opening in the canvas in the roof of the tent. The dressing room in the rear is sided up on all sides and has a tar-paper roof. It may be very readily warmed by an oil stove for the use of the occupants in the morning while

dressing, taking baths, etc., and affords a dry storing place for clothes and other belongings. I have used this form of tent with great satisfaction.

The house should be supported on brick or stone piers, starting just above ground, and extending down below frost, ten piers in all, or one under each post.

The sill pieces to be placed on the piers should be six-inch by eight-inch, with the eight-inch side vertical, and the floor beams should be two-inch by ten-inch, placed sixteen inches from center to center, or two-inch by six-inch floor beams may be used by placing an additional sill or girder under the center lengthwise of the house. Set the floor beams so as to give a slight slope to the porch.

All framing timber should be of good quality spruce or hemlock. Where it is to be left rough and stained small, sound knots are not objectionable, but, if to be planed and painted,

the material should be as free from knots as possible.

The outside of the sills should be cased with a seven-eighths-inch pine or cypress board and the floor laid over the whole with seveneighths-inch millworked, matched North Carolina pine board not over three and one-half inches wide.

On top of the floor set the main posts of four-inch by four-inch pieces, with girt under the openings of two-inch by four-inch and filling-in studs of two-inch by four-inch about twenty inches apart, set flat. Provide the main plates and cross-beams of four-inch by six-inch pieces, the ridge piece two-inch by twelve-inch over the tent portion only and the rafters two-inch by six-inch throughout. The horizontal pieces of the outhangers should be four-inch by four-inch, and the brace and tie members two-inch by four-inch, all strongly framed together.

The window and door frames may be of simple jambs and casings, nailed direct to the studs; and the sash and doors may be of regular stock make. Inclose the sides of the dressing-room and the lower part of the tentroom with good novelty or coved siding cut in between the posts and nailed to the flat studding and cleats on the posts.

Provide the cornice molding and ridge boards on the dressing-room, and cover the roof with shingles on slats.

Screens should be placed as shown. These may be placed directly on the studs, but will be more durable stretched on simple frames and these secured in place.

Place a double canvas cover over the tentroom and extend the outer cover over the porch with flaps coming down to the dotted line and buttoned to the horizontal beam. This outer cover is to be guyed with short rope fastened to rings in the lower edge of

the canvas and secured to the horizontal member of the outhanger.

The inner canvas is to be drawn to the plate with ropes tied in rings which are to be secured to the underside of the canvas near the plate. This canvas continues down to the bottom of the screen, but is divided, forming a flap over each screen so that it may be rolled up or buttoned down at will. Similar flaps should be provided at the end over the portions marked for screens and over the two triangular openings where no screens are placed. There should be a separate flap for the door, and in the inner canvas four ceiling

openings, with flap covers, are arranged, to be rolled up and down and to be operated with ropes.

Proper eyelets are to be placed in the canvas and buttons in the framework wherever flaps are to be buttoned down.

Provide hinges and bolts for the two windows in the dressing-room, and suitable locks and hinges for the three doors.

The entire framework may be left rough as it comes from the saw, and the whole stained a moss green or other suitable color, or it may be planed or painted.

For a Dettweiler Memorial.

There is a movement on foot among friends, admirers, patients and pupils of the late Dr. Dettweiler, one of the pioneers of the open-air treatment, to establish an institution bearing his name which shall be a home for physicians who have served in sanatoriums for consumptives and who have become invalided by disease, accident or old age. The foremost men and women of the German Empire are on a committee that is collecting funds.

The Fraternal Sanatorium.

W. R. Edison, president of the Associated Fraternities of America, is a member of the committee of St. Louis men which has charge of the primary steps for building a national fraternal sanatorium for consumptives in New Mexico. Other members of the committee are: Dr. W. H. Mayfield, president of the

Mayfield Sanatorium of St. Louis; M. P. Moody, general manager of the American Baptist Publishing Company, and Dr. H. A. Warner, of Topeka, Kan., supreme medical examiner of the Knights and Ladies of Security. Colonel F. H. Buzzicott, military engineer, and George W. Myer, a financier, are also associated with the movement.

The plan these men will endeavor to carry out will affect five and one-half million perSons, affiliated with 163 fraternal beneficial organizations. A tax of one cent per capita each month is proposed, creating a fund that will exceed $600,000 a year, for its maintenance. Each order that will send patients to the sanatorium will be allowed to keep them there until they are cured or until the sum paid in by the order for its members has been expended. There is to be no profit made in running the institution, and everything will be reduced to a minimum cost.
