WOULD
TAKE RADICAL STEP
Director of Campaign Says
TuberCuIar Person Should
Not be Married.
News-Times Special Service :

News Times Special Service;
LANSING. Mich. March 2S-"No
person Athletes with tuberculosis
should be allowed TO marry-not
until the disease had been omplete-
ly arrested"
That is the statement made by DR..
William De Kleine, in charge OF the
state anti-tuberCulosis survey. And
while this principle has been ex-
pressed before the present campaign
in Michigan is furnishing strong
reasons for it.
There is nothing more certain"
said Dr. DeKleine, than that with
out expert care under the direction
of a doctor or nurse. a tuberculosis
person closely associating with his
family will communicate the dis
ease to others. In one city in the
state we came upon a family in
which a mother and FIVE children
had the disease. In addition TO that
a married daughter and her baby,
both much in the habit OF assOciat-
ing with the family, also had tuber-
culosis in the early stages. 1t was
plain that one member of this af
hicted family simply gave the dis
ease to the others. Only last week
we came across a case in which an
aged grandmother brought five small
children TO the clinic. Four Of them
had tuberculosis in a very pro
nOunced form. Further investiga-
ton showed that the father is af-
hicted with tuberculosis. Presum-
ably he gave 1t to the small chill
dren.
And it is the same story in most
places. We have come 10 expect
patients in groups-family groups.
There is always a great deal Of kiss
ing and sleeping together of children
and contact a thousand and one
other ways in the average family.
This is so much so that in poorer
families where children are not
overwell fed and where the general
resistance is poor, there is little
chance for any of a family to es-
cape when one member contra cts
the disease. And ordinarily a man
or woman who has the disease and
marries is booming the offspring
beforehand"
