If rent payers would persistently
refuse to live in dark and poorly ven
tilated rooms at any price, landlords
and builders would soon cease offer
ing that kind of room to anybody.
Sunlight and fresh air are essential
factors in promoting bodily health

in a poorly ventilated room at any

COST OF coNTAGIoN.

Scarlet fever, diphtheria and measles
cost the people of Chicago s., So, 442
for the year 1916. Some toll to pay.
And yet much of it if not all, might
have been prevented. 1t can conf
IDENTIFY be asserted that this ,tremend-
Gus bill, which the people of Chicago
were forced to pay, was due largely to
their carelessness and indifference.
Scarlet fever cost $2,170,459; diphth-
eria cost $4,535,3 1895 and measles cost
$3.50, 588; total, as stated, for the three
diseases, %,562.442.
For the purpose of emphasizing,
possibly, the burden to the commun-
ity laid upon it by these three dis
eases, an estimate has been made by
wards of the cost; including both the
sickness and death expense. When
it is remembered that scarlet fever,
diphtheria and measles are classed
among the preventable diseases, it
will be made clear the extent to which
the people themselves are responsible
for this needless drain on their
pocketbooks.
Of course, it should be understood
that these are estimated cost; but it
can be safely assumed that they are
approximately correct. In preparing
them the average financial status of
the people in the five groups of wards,
as made in previous studies, has been
taken into consideration. 1t is also
to be noted that study of the figures
discloses the fact that this burden
of expense falls most heavily upon
people who can least afford to bear
it.
Any thoughtful citizen, who will
note the totals of the cost of these
diseases for the year 1916, should GER
tainly ask himself the question, What
can l do to help reduce this loss and
this terrific expense to the people,"
And then he may answer that ques-
ton by resolving to give to the De-
partment of Health and by urging
others to give to the Department of
Health, their best cooperation in the
efforts it is making for the control
of communicable diseases.
And here are some of the things
that people can do, which will be
just the kind of cooperation that will
count for something.
When your child has a temperature,
complains of headache or sore throat,
call the doctor.
If diphtheria is suspected, have anti
toxin used at once.
Cooperate with your family physi-
clan in the prompt reporting to the
Department of any contagious disease
in your family.
Be as careful to protect your neigh
bors' children from your own as you
would insist that they be careful in
protecting your children from theirs.
This means that the sick or ailing
child, no matter how slight the illness,
should be kept at home and away
from other children. Measles,
whooping cough, scarlet fever and
diphtheria are all spread every day
because parents neglect this import
ant duty.
