INIC OPENED AT ROOSEVELT New Tuberculosis Work is Extended Into Roosevelt and South River t _____ The new tuberculosis clinic* which have been started by the Middlesex County Anil-Tuberculosis League in Roosevelt and South River had a record day on Wednesday. with twenty-one patients examined. The Roosevelt clinic is held under the a ispices of the local Board of (Health and with the active assist ance and eo-operation of Mr. Frank B .rn. health officer, and Mrs. Ada Myrrs. Board of Health nurse. The South River clinic Is held in the basement of School No. 3, South River. Dr. Elliott I. Dorn, state :Cliiiician, acts as examiner at both Clinics. Contrary to general expectation the clinic room is a cheery place and the words of the doctor are sften good news. A fraily young girl about eighteen, who has not been able to work for several months, who has been losing weight and strength and who has been afraid to come to the doctor be cause she thought she might hear that she had "tuberculosis." is told that her lungs are in good condition and that she needs an intia-nasal examination. A boy is examined and told that he had heart trouble, but that nls lungs are in fine con dition. One little mother, who has been In the State Sanatorium has come for re-examination. She tells the doctor ."Oh, I am feeling so much better!" After looking her over he says, “Indeed, you are much better." A number of children are sent down by the school principal and as they are preparing for the doc tor. the tuberculosis nurse. Miss Marie Nielren. gives them timely health tips. “Sonny, did you brush your teeth this morning!’" And stop drinking coffee and drink milk and you will soon be big and strong and healthy. One or two patients are advised to spend a few months in the State Sanatorium at Glen Gardner. Some are advised to go to other places. Applications are made out and the trim white uniforms of the nurses bustle about doing their best to see that all Is done to hurry the patients admission to the places advised by the doctor. Almost every one today knows that tuberculosis Is not only curable but preventible. And the very best way to prevent tuberculosis Is to keep up the general health by eat ing enough food, by sleeping at least eight hours a day and by go ing to a doctor or a clinic when the health is not quite up to standard Some of the signs of tuberculosis are: Loss of weight, appetite or strength. Pain in chest. Continued cough. Spitting of blood. It always pays to "play safe” and that is why the Middlesex County Anti-Tuberculosis League and the Boards of Health are so Interested in the Roosevelt and South River clinics. They want the people of Middlesex county to play safe. SUITE DIMS TO SELL S TRENTON. May 24.—Employ ' ment of a sales manager to develop a market for prison-made goods, at an annual salary of 14.000. has been laid before the Clvl» Service Commission by B. O. Lewis, state commissioner of institutions and agencies. Mr. Lewis wants to have a first class man as head of a "Di vision of Sales and Sales Promotion" in his department, to Induce coun ties and municipalities, aa well as state Institutions, to use the product of prison and other Institutional shops, so as to give the inmates a chance to help themselves and the institutions.

He Is to confer with Secretary Mes slck of the Civil Service Board and try to work out a satisfactory scheme. While not yet ready to discuss his plan in full. Commissioner Lewis said that with a good oalesman "drumming up tarde" among the countv freeholders, he ought to be able to have 400 men at work mak ing the products offered for sale. At present there are only about 24* at work, he said. The Idea seems to he to develops the scheme gradually, as markets were opened up. The scheme. It appears, might de velop along Inter-state lines, the products of New Jersey shops being sold to public agencies In other states, and New Jersey buying other products for her institution# from those states. The commissioner declared that he wants to exhaust those "public" markets before any attempt to sell in the open market might be made. This "public" market, among var ious institutions, on an inter-state basis, he thought amounts to some thing like *780,000,000 of business a year. Samuel Oompers, head of the Am erican Federation of Labor, has ap proved the plan, according to the institutions head, and no trouble from organised labor Is to be feared. Commissioner Nolan, of the Civil Service Board, however, was skepti cal on this point, and expressed the fea rthat labor would "queer” the scheme and render the proposed sales-manager useless.
