Kenosha is heart and soul in the eff
fort to stamp out tuberculosis, perhaps
because 80 many Of its young and prom
Using, have in the past been victims of
the insidious disease.
The National Association for the Study
ard Prevention of Tuberculosis, aided
by, and given the cooperation of, the
Anti-Tuberculosis association of Wis
consin, is making an effort to get every
city in the state to set aside the week
of December to 10 as a special tuber
eulosis week, in which the town may
study ways and means of advancing the
determination Of tuberculosis.
The Evening News has been advised
by number of individuals and organiza-
tions as to what they will do in Kenosha
for that week, and the enthusiasm which
exists shows that the citizens have a
serious purpose and will do all possible
this year as they have done for many
seasons past, for the prevention of dis
ease.
Medical Society's Generous Offer.
DIR. F. Il. Andre, president of the Ke-
Fnosha County Medical association, said
that he could promise in behalf of his
society that if any woman s club, pub
lie or private school or auxiliary of
church or lodge wished speaker on the
subject of the prevention Of tubercu-
losis, that his society would supply the
speaker free for the occasion.
The public school system is thor
oughly in accord with the movement
for education Of children and others as
to preventive measures to be used as a
protection against tuberculosis said
Mrs. Mary d. Bradford, and the prin-
cipals of the different schools will ar
range for special educational exercises
on that week. Every day in the
school year there are lessons given the
children in regard to fresh air and SAM
tation which of course work for the
prevention of disease The fresh air
school with the lesson it teaches is an
other way in which the school system is
impressing upon the rising generation
the necessity for fresh air and sanitary
Gying as means of health
