A, Gym. “Tuberculosis” made the subject of an instructive and interesting talk Monday evening at the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium in the series of health talks given by prominent physicians of the city, the speaker in this case being Dr. D, J. Shahan, who described quite explicitly many of the symp- toms which are noted in the progress of the disease. The doctor laid e: phasis upon the point that with all the means at our disposal now the siate should oblige all parents and guardians to submit thefr children, even the babe In the cradle to a medical examination; as science en- ables us at this very moment to a certain within a few hours whether a person at any age of life from 1 yvear to 100 has consumption or not; and that is saying what we have never been able to say and prove till now. The doctor further said: Owing to the limited time at my disposal tonight, I will not take. up the many other symptoms, causes, pre- vention and cure of tuberculosis, With regard to treatment. Climate is becoming looked upon as deservedly of less importance than it ised to be; hough there are cértain regions in world where tubercu- osis is hardly known; such as the plateans of Mexico, Peru, Costa interior of South Africa, sgypt and Iceland. Altitude is, unquestionably, import- ant, as consumption occurs only by ex- ception In places more than 500 me- h. A change of residence may persons in places free from ption, moving to unhealthy often are attacked with sur- prisin pidity It has been s that lacks a climate especially adopted for the treatment of this disease. This is true, but the importance of a spectal climate has been greatly exaggerated; and it is now the belief of leading medical authoritjes that there is no limate that, in itself, can cure it. It can and the cures in the home climate, where the patients remain, are more lasting and assured, than when at- tained by temporary residence else- where. No special climatic advantages are claimed for the many hospitals in New York, Massachusetts or Pennsylvania, where the disease is being treated so Successfully. It can iy treated suc- cessfully anywhere. Practically, c mate has nothing to do with the mat- ter. Formerly it was looked upon as the most important factor in the pro- duction of tuberculosis; consequently, it was also looked upon as the most important factor in the treatment of it. Tuberculosis consump s Connecticut can be prevented in eastern Connecticut and can be cured here, if taken in ‘ime, and before much lung tissue has been destroyed. Most physicians now subscribe to this view, and hold to it. The doctor concluded by pointing out how the bacillic rod of the great white plague had pointed the finger of death In New England towards the race that governs, decimating in turn the Indians, the colonial American families, and now the Irish-Americans, who, too, shall vanish, and leave but a Burbanked remnant behind if our efforts fail against this monstrous plague.

Carl Decker, the Mystic- boy, ~who was sentenced to a véar in jail in the criminal - superior ‘court . here- last Thursday, for burglary of a boat, and then placed on probation under sus- pension of sentence of a year in jall, has violated his parole. He will be Presented before the court again this week. Decker was taken in hand by County Probation Officer Richara W. | Mansfleld of New JLondon and Mr, Mansfleld found a home for him ai the farm of B. E. Lewis in Waterford. | Mr. Lewls provided work for the boy | and promised him a good home. { Country life, evidently did not ap- peal to, Carl, 'however, for he was missing from the Lewls place Sunday. | Mrs, Lewis, golng to the boy's room, | found his bedding joined together by | knots into a rope. _Apparently he planned to make use of the improvised Tope in getting out of the house. Decker is about 16. He is not con- sidered over bright. He did not ep-| pear to be of criminal instinct and he | was placed on probation to be siven | the chance which the court always wants to give a boy before placing him in the criminal class, but he has proved that probation in his case did not pay. This is one of the few cases in| which the probation system has not proven efficacious. Talking of the system as tried In this county Proba- tion Officer Mansfleld said that it has worked well in the majority of cases. Since January 1, 1911, Mr. Mansfield | has had twelve cases entrusted to him, boys and men presented in the superior | court in this county, sentenced and | then placed on probation. But two, | one of which s this Decker case, have resulted s0 as to make the probation system a fallure, | A young man from Lyme was| placed on probation and forbidden to | return to Lyme, where he was not| over popular with the natives. He committed no crime to cause the lift- | ing of. the probation, but he persisted | in golng to Lyme. He was arrested | again, his probation revoked and he is now in jail. There was one other case in which the: probationer, a man, dld not ex-| actly adhere to the conditions of th vprobation. He has a wife and five| children, but he was given warning. | If his probation had been revoked it | would have meant sending him to | Jafl and placing his wife and children | upon the town for support. He Is now | behaving. | Of the twelve cases, nine have been those of boys uader 19 vears. The other three cases were those of men aged 23, 26, and 32, respectively. The charges have for tiie inost part been theft and not of a serious character. | In going on probation the probation- | er has to promise to sbstain totally, | work steadily and otherwise deport himself in such a menner as to make him a desirable citizen. Reports at | stated intervals are required, and Mr. Mansfleld receives reports of this kind right along cither in person or by let- ter from the probationers. One of his probationers s now employed on din- Ing cars running between Washington and New York, and he reports by let- ter regularly of his work and his con- duct in his lelsure time. One boy, who was on probation, has gome to work in Hartford, and the | Hartford probation officer has assumed | the case. Two cases now under Mr, Mansfleld's care, camie to him from Middlesex county. A number of boys have doubtiess heen rescued and started right through the prebation system. Mr. Mansfield is well suited to the of and his | administration of it is pralsed by the | court officals: FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH HELD ANNUAL MEETING.
