INDIVIDUAL PROPHYLAxIS
Continued.
This column is reserved each week for
an article from DR.. E. G. kefauver on
the Prevention of tuberculosis.
YOUTH.


During the period of puberty, when
girls and boys are approaching woman
hood and manhood, period OF danger
arrives in relation to tuberculosis. 1t is
chiefly with those children who have been
infected land very few have not) that
fear of an outbreak should be greatest,
for the actual danger of primary infec-
ton is less during the years of approach
ing manhood and womanhood when active
outdoor life is the rule.
Rapid growth and instability of the
nervous system tend to favor the spread
of latent disease and the suspicion OF
tuberculosis should lead to constant
watchfulness. Delicate youths and maid
ems should be examined by competent
physicians frequently and much depends
upon their care. Anything that tends to
weaken the individual should be guarded
against, especially the evils peculiar to
this age. Anemia and chlorosis especially
in girls should be treated judiciously.
Overstrain has been the bane of modern
life for youth. Exhausting wheeling
trips, prolonged races and swimming are
common. Athletic contests and over
straining are associated with the develop
ment of tuberculosis with sufficient fire.
quence to justify constant care. The
presence of latent tuberculosis has often
been unsupported by physical directors.
An unusual amount of physical strain
causes breakdown which is attributed
to other causes. Mental and nervous
strain is to be avoided quite as much as
physical overexertion; the latter natural

and nervous excitement often affect the
less vigorous. Late and irregular hours,
insufficient sleep, excessive smoking,
eating and drinking combine to under
mind the resistance of many youths who
have inherited or acquired susceptibility
to the disease.
Moral training is highly important as
prophylaxis against certain diseases.
1t is fortunate that educators, writers
and ministers arc lending a helping hanc
in this direction. This is an important
factor in helping to stamp out tubercu-
losis. The physician has an important

Pertinent Paragraphs on the Woman
Suffrage Victory.


Whatever one may think of the move
ment, there's no denying that it is gath
ering force. Next year at least half a
million women will be qualified to vote
for President. That is more than the
usual presidential plurality, and if these
women voted solidly they might decide
the presidency. 1t is almost equal to the
total vote for Andrew Jackson in 1924.
1t is as many women as there were in
the whole thirteen original colonies at
the time of the Revolution. The United
States now has one-third of the women
voters of the world, the remaining two
thirds being chiefly in Australia, New
Zealand, Finland and Norway. And the
fraction will probably grow pretty fast
from now on, in spite of the efforts of
scornful men and hostile women. -Bos-
ton Traveller.
