But alsa, and what the State health authorities consider Is of equal if not greater importance, each of these young women has been in formed of the presence of tubercu ' losls while the disease is in an early stage, and each will have an oppor tun'ty of conquering the disease and saving a valuable life to the State. Allowed to continue the hard duties of a teacher in ignorance of the pres ence of the Infection it Is pointed out by the State Board of Health that in all probability each would have reached an advanced stage of the disease before being compelled to cease work from physical weakness, and would have been probably too far advanced for the dUease to be arrested. that its chief task will be to nreserVa international order ajid enter Into negotiations with the Entente.
