So great has been the attendance
at these clinics wherever they have
been held that DR.. Sykes has been
forced to call for assistance and has
been joined by DR.. H. w. Kinderman

Sykes and DR.. Kinderman were army

In addition to this travelling clinic,
the state association has for several
months past been centering much of
its attention on the holding of demon
stration clinics in the larger cities.
In a number of. cities one demonstra-
ton clinic has so convinced the COM

and demand for these clinics that a
permanent one has been established
or is under way.
In a circuit of cities in the neigh

clinics are being held by staff physi-
clans of the association, the intention
being to turn them over ultimately to
local authorities. In all this work the

from as far east as Pennsylvania and

A young girl, teaching in a rural
school and boarding in home where
there are number of small children,
discovered for the first time that she
has tuberculosis when she attended
one of the travelling demonstration
clinics which are being conducted by
the Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis asso-
citation as part of an aggressive cam
paign to secure the establishment of
permanent tuberculosis and child wei
fare dispensaries or public health
centers in all parts of the state
Arrangements are now being made
for sanatorium treatment. The TACT
that the girls home is in a nelghbor-
ing county illustrates the way in
which the health problems OF one
county are interviewer with those OF
another, making the protection OF
every county essential to the safety
of one.
The case is but one of many show
ing the need for carrying expert med
ical service and the message OF health
te the small town and rural districts
and showing also the eagerness with
which the people welcome this serV-

clinic, which is circling the entire
state. the state anti-tuberculosis asso
citation is having the cooperation OF

berculosis survey, the first compre-
hensive rural survey made in the
United States, revealed the fact that
the death rate from tuberculosis in
farming districts was higher than in
the city of Milwaukee, it opened the
eyes not alone of Wisconsin but also
of all America to the magnitude OF
tuberculosis as a rural problem.
AS a direct result of this survey,
1uade by the Wisconsin Anti-Tubercu-
losis association, and of the rural
campaigning which followed, the legis-
lature of 1912-1913 passed Wisconsin's
first county nurse law, authorizing the
expenditure of county funds for the
employment of public health nurses.

L. Bells of Muirdale, who organized
and superintended the tuberculosis
work in that entire district, and later
che was chief nurse at the Trudeau
sanatorium near Paris, serving there
until appointed to the Serbian com
mission in France.
On her return to America last fall
she decided to become public health
nurse and in October entered the four
months training course conducted by
the Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis asso-
citation in Milwaukee. She was one of
ten nurses in the present class whose
army experience impelled them to
take up public health work.

one of numerous graduates of Wiscon-
sin sanatoria who, having recovered
their own health, are devoting them
selves to the fight against tubercu-
losis. Following a long hard fight at
River Pines and at the state sana-
forum, she was assistant head nurse
at Muirdale and then Willowbrook' S
first superintendent.
A summer camping trip in the
neighborhood of the Tomahawk Lake
camp convinced her that she needed
to supplement her own sanatorium
treatment with physical training if she
were to keep the health she had
bought so dearly, so she went to Bos-
ton, took an intensive course in ply

her graduation received her call to

The legislature of 191819, wisely de-
Gliding, that what was good for one
county was good for all, not only made
the employment of the county nurse
mandatory but also established bu-

health nursing in the State Board OF
