And In the neutral countries like
Holland and Denmark, where the
blockade was tightly maintained con-
ditions became very difficult. In the
countries like Serbia, Poland and Rou-
mania the general restitution became
pitiable.
First Of all, the campaign plans
against tuberculosis contemplate the
erection of dispensaries on an adequate
scale furnished with laboratories and
appropriate equipment and affording
provision for early diagnosis by expert
physicians. Especially trained nurses
are to be- attached to the dispensaries
charged with the assignment of visiting
the homes of tuberculosis sufferers,
where the necessary care, treatment.
instruction and advice can be given
to men, women and children SO far
gone with the scOurge that they are
unable to visit the dispensary.
The second clause of the concise
campaign plans against tuberculosis
recommends system of regular in
spectlons in the schools, where chill
dren in the early stages of consumption
can be found, thereby making possible
the removal of the afflicted boys and
girls who by their presence among the
healthy youngsters endanger the health
of whole communities.
For the advanced and hopeless cases
of consumption the creation of an ade-
quate hospital system Is suggested.
For cases where a cure Is possible,
system Of sanatoriums is recon-
mended.
That campaign Of popular educa-
ton should in the meantime be car
ried on for the benefit of the general
public. is deemed essential to the plan.
In this campaign widespread publicity
would be given to the causes and
means of preventing tuberculOsis-ev-
cry suitable publicity agency being
utilized for the purpose.

Impure milk may be the means OF
transmitting tuberculosis germs.
Therefore the Red Cross crusade
against consumption includes a recon-
mendation for the institution of appro-
pirate measures for preventing the
buying and selling Of dirty milk.
Naturally the open-air school for tu-
bercular children is commended and
emphasis is put on the need Of extend
ing the open-air plan wherever possible
for barracks, asylums, orphanages,
warehouses;, and prisons.
Thousands Of men. women and chill
dren, only slightly affected with con-
sumption, are better citizens If they
can work at jobs that do not act as
a barrier to recovery. These Jobs,
however, do not exist in sufficient num-
bers to fill the needs of a world that
is filled with an increasing number Of
tubercular people. Therefore it will
become a special task Of the Red Cross
people to encourage individuals and
organizations to greater efforts in solv-
ing this important problem-the crea-
ton of Industries particularly adapted
to the employment Of consumptives.
Farm colonies connected with the
sanatorlums are suggested as partial
solution Of the problem. Under such
a plan the workers would have the ad-
vantage of being under the supervision
, Of expert doctors, who could be relied
on to see that the right balance of
work and recreation and treatment was
maintained. At the present time farm
colonies are In particular favor as
means of affording employment to peo-
pie with very light cases.
That quackery in the treatment of
consumption must be stamped out Is
a determined stand taken by the Red
Cross. The world today is cursed with
a comparatively small number Of So
called doctors and with comparatively
few nostrum factories that sell alleged
consumption cures.
One Of the essential features Of the
campaign against consumption Is that
the health experts SHOULD have at hand
an accurate summary Of the distribu-
ton of consumption in every cOmmu-
nifty. knowledge Of this kind Is of the
greatest possible assistance in carry
ing on a campaign. For the local
STATS. such information enables the
community dispensary staff to locate
the breeding grounds of tuberculosis
and center Its fight on the dangerous
sectors.
