tuberculosis Survey in Shiawassee
County

The state board Of health tubercu-
losis survey that has been in progress
in Michigan for more than year and
half, will come to Shiawassee coun-
ty during the week beginning April
%, according to statement made by
Arnold Mulder, publicity agent of
the survey, who is visiting the county
this week to make preliminary ar
rangements. During the week before
the date scheduled for this county,
state board of health nurses will ar
rive here to get everything in readi-
ness for the free public examinations
that will be the main feature Of the
survey.
These free public examinations will
be held in several places in the coun-
ty and to them all people are cordial
,ly invited who are physically run
down. The state board of health is
anxious to examine not only those
who have tuberculosis or who may
suspect they have it, but all persons
who are physically below par. The
main purpose of the survey is the
prevention Of the disease.
These free public examinations will
be held in some centrally located
building to be arranged for later.
They will be presided over by corps
Of trained nurses and physicians who
have had unusual opportunity to be-
come proficient in the diagnosis Of
tuberculosis. Each person who pre-
sents himself for examination is Civ
en- careful attention and whenever
necessary all scientific tests are APP
piled.
"Success here as elsewhere" said
Mr.. Mulder, twill depend on the
number Of persons who take advant-
age of this opportunity for free
physical examination. The state
board Of health is anxious that all
who need it shall take it. Schools,
churches, clubs and other Aocal or
ganizations can do much to stir up
interest in the coming survey and so
encourage those who need the exam
ination to come out. This is not in
any sense charity; it is service
that the state is offering for the good
of the people of the state"

of 145 acres valued at $l1, 900 located
near Morrice. and sold on March II on

failure of it, and about year ago she
decided it to Gaddas and his wife. with
the understanding that they were to
give her good living for the rest of
her life, and provide decent burial for
her after her death. She claims, how.
ever, that Gaddas aud his wife prac-
tically forced her to leave the farm, and
that now although sne is over 80 years
old she is compelled TO work in a laun
dry for living After she left the
mortgage was foreclosei and the place
sold.
Mrs. Brown still holds an equity in
the farm, amounting to the difference

most of the coal had been hauled to
