TUBERCULSIS.
STAMPING IT OUT. By Telegraph—Press Association, Invereargill, Last Night. In the course of the annual report of the Hospital Board, Dr. Bleakley, health officer for Southland, stated that since the introduction of preventive measures against tuberculosis in New Zealand some years ago, both incidence and mortality rates have slowly but steadily declined, the present period, as far as Southland is concerned, showing a further considerable decrease, the figures being little more than half the number recorded for a similar period tlir.it! \ears ago. There is yet a great amount of carelessness in taking elementary preventive steps. This is illustrated in the case of at least one district in this
division, where board inghouse-keepnrs and owners of cottages let rooms or cottages to tuberculosis subjects for lengthy periods. Nothing probably is afterwards done to the rooms or contents before again letting to another party.
