WILL EXTEND ITS ACTIVITIES
New League Will Make Strong Effort
To Secure Better Sanitary Conditions
Tn the City-Many Interested in the
Work.

A reorganization of the Kenosha Com
mittee in the fight against tuberculosis
was effected at the Y. NJ. G. A. building
on Tuesday evening when a large COM
pany of well known people of the city
interested in plans to safeguard the
public health gathered to attend the
annual meeting of the Committee and
as q result of the meeting plans were
completed for the Incorporation Of the
Kenosha Tuberculosis and Pub
lie Health League" The incorporators
of the new organization will be DR.. G..
Windesheim, William H Purnell, Mrs.
2. G. Simmons, Mrs. Mary D. Bradford
and Prof. Otis L. Trenary.
Plans laid Tuesday night provide for
an organization which will have much
wider scope than the former orgniza-
ton and it is expected that the new
organization will bring under one head
all organizations in the city working
for the betterment Of the public health.
A constitution and by laws were~adopt-
ed by the meeting and the officers will
be elected just as soon as the committee
on Incorporation has completed it S
work. The work done by the Kenosha
Anti Tuberculosis committee during the
two years was reviewed at the meeting
and it was decided that the new organ
ization should go into other lines of
work with view of securing better
sanitary conditions in the city as well
as to make an organized fight against
the spread Of contagious diseases in the
city. Public meetings will be held by
the new organization and the officials
will seek to inaugurate a campaign of
education in the city which bring to
the people some realization of the de-
mands that should be made on the
Health Department for better sanitary
conditions and better provisions for the
fighting of contagious disease. The
new organization will be closely afiliat-
ed with the Wisconsin Anti Tubercu-
losis committee, with the National or
ganization along the same line and with
the National Public Health League and
all members of these organizations in
Kenosha will be members of the Ken
osha organization without the payment
Of dues. The report Of the treasurer
showed that the new organization will
start it's work with more than $500 in
the treasury. It was suggested that
the organization would have charge Of
the sale of Christmas seals in Kenosha
and that in addition to this it would
at once start work to secure the cree
ton Of a sanitarium for the care of con.
sumptives. 1t is expected that members
of the league will appear before the
county board at its coming meeting and
demand that some action be taken alono
this line.
The interest that is being shown in
the proposed work Of the league gives
evidence Of the support that the organi-
cation will receive and it is certain that
the organization will be the most effee.
tive of the kind ever formed in Ken
osha. The work of the organization is
not to be limited to a few people but
efforts viii be made to interest all the
people of the city. The work among
the children of the schools is to be CON
tinued. just as soon as the incorpor
alton of the organization is completed
another meeting viii be called at which
time officers will be elected and plans
for the work Of the league during the
coming year outlined.
