Minnesota edera tIonotw onlan's
Clubs Endorse County Work
Against tuberculosis.

The State Federation of Women's
Clubs is deeply interested in the gen.
eral establishment of County Sana-
toria in Minnesota under the provis-
ions of the new County Sanatorium
Law. This law grants state aid to
Counties to the amount Of 100000
during the next two years to be used
in the establishment and equipment of
their own institutions for the treat
ment and prevention of tuberculosis.
Each county is to appropriate by
means of one mill tax levy, one-half
the amount to be expended, the state
furnishing the other half.
The ultimate success of this COun-
ty Sanatorium plan, and the amount
the state will continue to appropriate
to carry on the work depend upon the
attitude Of the counties in Inaugural.
ting the project. Every dollar appro-
priated by the state should be dupli-
Gated by county funds, which means
a possible one million dollars to he
expended before the next session of
Legislature in launching this proven.
tive measure in Minnesota. Already
nineteen counties have appropriated
money for the establishment of coun'
ty sanat0ria.
The following is list Of counties
with the amounts raised by the one
mill tax. This is Minnesota's Roll OF

Seldom are the essential elements
In any important undertaking so
clearly defined, and seldom is there
such universal agreement among ex-
perts as to the facts, and as to our
duty. The first step is the general es.
adjustment of county institutions, &C.
companied by a rigid enforcement of
the law with regard to the registra-
ton OF cases. Other remedial agen-
cies will eventually grow out of the
County Sanatorium, such as visiting
nurses, free dispensaries, etc.
We look to science for our authority
and method. Our motive may be
mixed one. The economic import
ance OF controlling tuberculosis will
appeal to some. We women make our
appeal from humanitarian and relig-
ious point. This anti-tuberculosis
work is generally called a campaign.

Tax payers complain of the ever
increasing burden of taxation. There
is no object for which they are taxed
which could possibly bring them rich
er returns. The tables showing the
saving to the state of money invested
in this reliable life saving project are
familiar to all. In addition, there is
the comfortable feeling of protection
for ones self and family from a dread.

a desire to benefit ones fellowmen
which, be it said to the credit of hui.
mainly, is growing by leaps and
bounds.
One farmer in New York State
ploughed two burrows nearer the
fence in certain field and planted
an extra row of potatoes to pay his
share of the tax for a sanatorium fol

inventive voter in your county who
cannot devise some legitimate means
OF meeting his small tax for a coun
ty sanatorium, without hardship to

On behalf of the Minnesota Fedora

Health Committee respectfully re-
quests the voters and county commits

this community receives it's share of
this first appropriation of state funds.
This means immediate action. If you

No fair minded citizen will gainsay
the right of the women of Minnesota
in bearing the children, caring for
them and educating them to become
useful citizens.
In addition to child bearing and
rearing, we care for the sick; we
struggle along, when the bread winner
is taken from us, to provide home,
care and income for our children.
Many times we give up our legitimate
ambitions for our families and are
forced to allow our boys and girls to
enter the ranks of wage earners
poorly equipped mentally and physi
cally, for the struggle Of life, on &C
count of the double burden we often
have to carry.
The very nature of our duties, in
the economy Of the state, leads us to
an abiding realization of the value OF
a human life, which is not vouch
safed to man, as a rule. Much of the
sorrow, suffering, privation, inetici
ency and degeneracy, which we wo
men under present conditions, are
powerless to alleviate, is due to tuber
culosis, one of the most durable and
preventable of all diseases. There
are now fully 10000 persons suffering
from consumption in Minnesota. Al
least 1000 of this number will die
this year. Before death, they will in
feet thousands, who in time must sue
cumb to this dreadful disease. There
should be beds provided not only fo1
the dying cases, but for a large per
cent of living cases if we are to breal
this continuous chain of infection
Minnesota now has some 426 beds in
Guiding private hospitals, for the care
of the tuberculous.
The State has recognized her dut!
in working out this tremendous prob
lem. A grave responsibility is nov
thrown upon the counties. There il
