From the report of the Manchester Medical Officer of Health:—

"An important step forward was taken in 1909, when an Order of the Local Government Board made Tuberculosis of the Lungs obligatory on the Medical Officers of the Poor Law Service; in 1911 a second Order extended the obligation to other Institutions."

So far, luckily, the Order has not been extended to journalists. Regarding it, however, from the standpoint of the onlooker, we think that the L. G. B. has gone a little beyond its powers.


WHY HAVE WE NO SUPERMEN LIKE THE GERMANS?

How they might brighten
Regent Street.
How they might wake up our
restaurants.
And honour us with
their gallantry.
And, best of all, how amusing
to see them meet a
super-superman.
