Excerpt from Transactions of the Seventh Annual Conference of State and Territorial Health Officers With the United States Public Health and Marine-Hospital Service: Washington, D. C., June 2, 1909 AS to the programme of the conference it is proposed to discuss to-day a number of important subjects that have been engaging the attention of this bureau and have a relation not only to national but to state work, in which we are both interested and in which we can cooperate with one another. In bringing these subjects before the conference it is intended to inform you of what we have done, Show the relation of our work to yours, and get any suggestions you may choose to give us. It is hoped that there will be as free a discussion as you choose to make. In accordance with the programme, to-morrow forenoon has been reserved for a visit to the Hygienic Laboratory, the addition to which has just been completed. The laboratory build ing has been enlarged to three times its original Size and two of the divisions moved into the new addition. It is proposed to go there from the New Willard Hotel about half past 9 to-morrow morning. In the four divisions of the laboratory the chief of each division will be on hand to explain the work of the laboratory.
