cOnsumrtive5 because CONSUMPTION is
not fashionable. Feeling this We,
they neglect diagnosis and medical
care when they first detect the signs
of consumption, thinking that, by sim

truth to say that 5000 lives are sacri-

through this false pride. The on,y
thing to be ashamed of in having a
case of tuberculosis in the family is
the neglect of the disease and the con-
sequent death of the sufferer; and
such neglect deserves round censJra
because it will probably involve more
than one person. Remember that an
early diagnosis of consumption in

S UN SHIN E!

The Italians have a saying, Where
the sunlight is shut out, the doctor is
let in Fire, steam and few power
iul chemicals are the only things that
viii kill disease germs as quickly as
sunlight. The germ in the spit of a
ccnsumptive, exposed to the glare of
the July sun for an hour or two, are
dead or harmless. Nor is the sun
shine any more friendly to the other
tiny enemies of mankind. COnseluant-
ly, leave your windows and shutters
open for the fresh air and sunshine
several hours every day. If you are
afraid it is going to fade the carpet,
take up the carpet. Bare floors are
cleaner and consequently more health
Gul any way. Instead OF carpets use
rugs and frequently expose them tC
the fresh air and sunshine. Give the
fresh air and sunshine as much access
to your whole body as possible. Exer-
else out OF doors daily, with garments
no heavier than necessary. The fresh
air and sunshine, as well as the eyer-
else, will stimulate the action OF the
skin in throwing off the waste prod
ucts OF the body.

EXERCISED!

A person leading a quiet, seden-
tary life is healthy only by aoci-
dent, unless he makes up for by
little vigorous, open air exer-
else. Cram a locomotive fire-box
with coal, without removing the
cinders, and the engine will become
SO clogoed as not to work prop
erly. The body is exactly like a
locomotive; If il is not exercised,
the waste products accumulate and
the result is disease. Moreover, ju-
dicious exercise shakes up the or
CANS of the body and increases
their activity; it keeps the muscles
in condition to meet the extraordi-
nary emergencies which may come
to any of US; and, If taken heartily,
diVerts the mind from its ordinary
cares and lets man return with
new vigor and refreshed spirits to
his tasks.
Ninety per cent of the women
who bother the doctors with all
sorts of more or less vague COM
plants, need nothing but a loose
dress, hoe and garden.

Will prevent tie spread Of The germs

The law creating the Kentucky Tu-
berculOsis Commission at the last leg
lslature provides also a plan for the
building of small hospitals throughout
the state for the proper treatment of
tuberculosis. The plan in brief is as
follows: The Fiscal Court of any
county may declare that county dis
trict for the purpose of building a hos
pital. Or, by petition, the question
pie at any regular election, and, if
carried, it is then the duty of the Fis-
cal Court to declare the county a dis
trict. Any group of counties touching
one another may declare themselves
a single district for this purpose by a
vote at any general election which
carries in each of the counties in
volved. Then, under certain restric-
tons in the law, the State Commission
names a considerable group of citi-
zens, men and women, of the county
or counties involved, from which
name a District Board of Tuberculosis
Hospital Trustees. This Boaro then
asks of the Fiscal Court funds to be
raised in the regular levy of taxes.
From these funds a site is selected.
subject to the approval of the State
Commission, and then the Board pro-
ceeds to erect the hospital. The State

either free or for weekly charge, ac-

and the cost of maintenance not met

This is not so expensive a plan as it
looks. After the construction of rea-
sonably substantial building for the

and serving of meals, and the housing
of the nurses, the building or build
ings for the actual housing OF the
consumptives can be more cheaply

made to live and sleep in the open air.
or on Verandas; very small, cheapiy
constructed buildings are sufficient for
the purpose. The whole campaign
against tuberculosis is based, not on
sympathy, but on economics. Prac-
tically all of the sufferers are between
the ages of 10 and so, nearly all of
them housewives or wage-earners, and
many of them the parents of children.
You can serve your community
and insure yourself in no better way
than by advocating the building of
such an institution. Every cent it
costs is more than returned by the dis
tress it relieves and the poverty it pre-
vents.
