GIVE T. R. MEN CHANCE

IL there are any parents in Michi-
gan who have sons in the service
afflicted with tuberculosis and being
treated by the government, don't ask
Uncle Sam to send them home. This
is the advice relayed by the Michigan
Anti-tuberculosis association from
the National association.
The records show that there are a
considerable number Of such cases in
the state. Frequently the parents or
friends, anxious to have their boys
come home, ask for their release. The
government, not wishing to hold such
patients against their wills, offers to
release them, provided the parents or
friends guarantee proper treatment
at home.
But this offer has been greatly
abused, il is declared. In many
cases the guarantees have been
signed without proper appreciation
on the part of those signing them as
20 what was involved As a result
these patients are transferred from a
government sanitorium where they
were getting the best possible treat
ment, to homes where little treat
ment was possible.
This is mistaken kindness, the
Michigan Anti-tuberculosis associa-
tion declares. In a great many cases
II will merely mean release from the
army to the conscription Of long
illness followed by death, whereas
If tie patient remained in the gov
ernment care he would have nine
chances out Of ten Of getting well.
For the person with tuberculosis
II is usually a lucky chance that he is
IN the service because by reason OF
that fact he is assured Of proper
treatment-better treatment than he
could secure anywhere else. For that
reason. leave them where they are
at present, is the advice Of the Mich
igan association. II is for the very
best interests Of the patient.

Active Work on College Endowment
Campaign To be Renewed.

The campaign for a million dollar
endowment for Alma college is 20 be
resumed, and pushed 10 the limit.
within the next few weeks, it is
understood, and every section Of the
state will be combed in the hope Of
materially adding to the endowment
of the Presbyterian college.
The million dollar endowment cam
paign was started just shortly before
the United States entered the World
war, and because Of the national need
for funds with which to prosecute the
war, the campaign was allowed TO
become dormant by the college au-
thorities, who had no great desire 70
take funds which the government
needed.
Now that the emergency period has
ended. the campaign is being renewed
with the prospects Of a far greater
activity with the coming months and
il is confidently expected that the
efforts of the college will be crowned
with success before the campaign
ends.
