OVERCROWDING

The best way to tackle the TB.. menace in the Colony would be:-

(1) Prevent overcrowding in tenaments."

(2) *Develop the open-air "nabit among the poor by ar-

'ranging free outings.

(3) MAKE PUBLIC SPIT-" TING A CRIME.

(4) Arrange posters, etc. showing the ravages caused

by the disease,

(5) Supply free disinfectant to poor bomes for spitoons, etc.

DISTRICT NURSES

The best methods of enforcing these suggestions would be:-

(1) To condemn all tenament houses that do not provide enough

ventilation.

12) To appoint district nurses. (who must first undergo a com- prehensive course in T. B. preven- tion) to make house to house visits.
