A PAPER BY DR. THOMAS.
He Will Not be in Winston to Read It
Now in Chicago StnJylnf Re.
litf Systems.
The Winston-Salem Journal pub
lishes the programme for tbe Health
.Conference which convened in that
city yesterday. A feature of the pro
gramme was a paper by Dr. G. G,
Thomas, of this city, who is President
of the State Board of Health. Dr.
Thomas' subject was to be "The Best
Method of Dealing with Tuberculo
us Patients t rom a Kanitary
Standpoint." However, he has
been in Chicago for ! the past
month and cannot attend the
Health Conference. He is making
study of the relief system of the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Rail
road, after which the A.? C. L. wi l
model the system that company pro
poses to establish under the super-
intendency of Dr. Thomas as Chief
Surgeon.
It will also be of interest to note in
this connection that Mr. Nixon Davis
is a ho in Chicago on the same mission,
and will hold an important position
with the A. C. L. Relief Department,
PREPARATIONS FOR APPOINTMENTS,
Physical Baild of Policemen Ascertained
to Facilitate Selection of Force.
Last night Chief Parmele and Capt.
Furlong were busy for some time tak
ing the heights and weights of the day
officers. This step is taken in com
pliance with a suggestion from the
Board of Aldermen, who recom
mended such a course to aid the police
committee in its selection of officers
for the regular force. Besides this it
is understood that applicants for the
permanent force will undergo a rigid
physical examination and this also
will be taken into consideration in the
selection.
Tae measures ana weights of the
night policenen will probably be
taken to-day.
It is also very probable that selec
tions for the permanent force will be
made in the' early part of next week,
as the expiration of the thirty days,
which the emergency force was ap
p riated to serve, , has aoout expired.
So far as the Star can learn, the num
ber of men which will be required for
the regular force has not yet been de
cided upon. '- ..
