which they are kept in touch with new
methods of work and new activities.
A department for the direction OF
the Modern Health Crusade and for
the promotion of other practical meth
DDS of aiding teachers to teach health
in the school rooms.
A publications department which
publishes The Crusader, monthly
health publication, special literature
on tuberculosis, and also furnishes
health news and feature service to
the newspapers of the state.
A legislative department whose
function is creating sentiment for
needed legislation for the prevention
and control of tuberculosis and other
service bureau in furnishing legis-
lators with specific information nee
essary for their guidance in framing
and enacting new laws.
A department for promoting an in
creased number of sanatoria and for
assisting interested counties in the
conducting of campaigns, in the selec-
ton of sites, and in the planning of
buildings, furnishing them with in
formation which will enable them to
take advantage of the experience of
other counties.
1t is the special province of this
sanatorium department, functioning
with every other department in the
RI rH
ordination of all the various units in
the fight against tuberculosis, the in
dividual sanatoria, the public health
nurses and health instructors, medical
men, dispensaries and sanatorium out
patient departments; to assist them,
out of these individual units mighty
state machinery for the control and
prevention of tubel culosis; and to
make the work of each unit more ef-
fective by assisting it to greater in
dividual efficiency and by combina-
ton of it's force with other forces at
work in it's immediate neighborhood
and also in other parts of the state.
In furthering this purpose, the asso-
citation co-operates on the one hand
with national associations such as the
National tuberculosis association, the
National Child Hygiene association, the
National Child Health organization,
and on the other with state and local
boards of health, medical societies,
and other agencies or organizations,

the national and the state movement
for the relief and prevention Of dis
ease.
The one great purpose of all these
activities is to wipe tuberculosis and
al needless preventable disease out of
Wisconsin.

T7NRHILE the recent presentation of
MV the allegorical photograph, "The
Conflict" to the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis association represents a
new tribute to the work of the asso-
citation and the first one ever made in
pictorial form, it is in way typical
of the impression which the activities
of the organization make upon those
who come in close touch with them.
Outside commentator frequently
comes from other states, many of
them having come to look to Wiscon-
sin for leadership in health work.
Some years ago Samuel Hopkins
Adams, author of "The Clarion" "The
Great American Fraud" and other
books, writer and investigator recog-
niZed from coast to coast as absolute
ly fearless, came to Wisconsin for the
special purpose of inquiring into the
association and it's methods. After
spending several days at the task, he
wrote many-columned magazine arti-
Gle, filed with enthusiastic praise and
admiration from start to finish, in
which he said:
Selling health is the actual bust
ness of the Wisconsin Anti-Tuber-
culosis association. 1t has completely
commercialized splendid endeavor;
commercialized it not for private profit
but for public gain. 1t has found a
method of making money not only talk
but teach. Before you can make
money work for you, you must first get
the money. In other words: first catch
your dollar. Or, to get down to the
Dearholt basis, your penny. For the
penny is the unit of efficiency In this
campaign.
"Now to a Wisconsinite, an organ
ization, dependent upon public sup
port, which does not beg and beg
mainly from the rich may not afford
occasion for wonder. But to me the
principle was revolutionary. 1t re-
uuired a genuine wrench of the mind
to adjust itself to this radical fact
that one hundred dollars Unsolicited,
by the way) is the largest contribution
in money ever made to the Wisconsin
Anti-Tuberculosis association. Prac-
tically the only source of revenue is
the sale of the Red Cross seals.
Rural or urban every community is
included in the campaign. There is no
city or village or crossroads hamlet
but comes within the scope of the sys-
tenn. Each has it's local agent, vol
unteer worker, handling the seals
under the direction of the central
Office.

tive achievement has been it's invest1-
cation into and determination of rural

T@n@ i'm Me@@ry the Story of Mans Fi@G AGAINST Disease

INTERPRETING in terms Of art the
story of Wisconsin's organized
fight for health and happiness and
against needless suffering, sorrow and
death, remarkable photograph show
ing in allegory the work of the Wis
consin Anti-Tuberculosis association
has been produced by a Wisconsin
artist photographer, William n. Van
Aman of Milwaukee, and framed
copy has been presented to the asso-
citation for the walls of it's recently
purchased home, the Health Service
Building.
This allegorical story is more than
a remarkable photograph, more than
poetic Interpretation of humanity's
struggle against the power of disease
and death. 1t stands as a splendid eX-
ample of civic spirit and cooperative
effort, for in the making of the picture,
Mr.. Van Aman had the enthusiastic as
sistance of the Wisconsin Players, the
Milwaukee Art Institute, and num-
Der of Milwaukeeans who posed as the
various figures.
Mr.. Van Aman calls this photograph
"'The Conflict" and says Of it:
''In this picture I have endeavored
to show, in allegory, the efforts of
organized institutions such as the Wis
consin Anti-Tuberculosis association
in combating the worlds greatest
scourge | have consciously avoided
trying to indicate the vast toll of the
dread disease or the great number
saved through the Associations eff
forts.

Death as dignifed, calm and waiting;
tuberculosis with outstretched arms
clutching for her victim who is being
lifted up by the figure representing
the medical profession, the associa-
ton. Behind are the forces support
ing the association, the doctor the Red
Cross nurse and the public health
nurse, Philanthropy and the Press. In
front of this group is the grateful re-

UNIQUE VICTORY ROLL.

A unique Victory Honor Roll Is to be
placed in the main corridor of Muir
dale. On it there will be bronze star
for every man, woman, and child who
has taken treatment at Muirdale and
remained until discharged as an ar
rested case.
The roll is a long one, there being
265 names on it December ], four
years after the opening of the sana-
forum. Full names will not be used
on the honor roll, each honor winner
being designated by initials and case
number. The length of treatment will
also be given and 1t Is expected that
the erection of the roll will be a great
announcement to patients.

owns it's own home, the Health Service
building at 558 Jefferson street, Mil
waukee, property which it bought at
a great bargain and which gives Office,
class and lecture room for the rapidly
expanding work of the organization.
Instead of an $4,000 seal sale, the cam
paign this year is for $150,OO0 Of this
amount $4,000 will be used to pay off
the small debt on the building.
The entire program of the Wiscon-
sin Anti Tuberculosis association rests
on a business basis. That it has
grown to be "big business" is due to
the fact that it has succeeded in con-

attack against the disease along other
lines began.
Education became the watchword of
this campaign-not dull, uninteresting
textbook, dry-as-dust lecture stuff, but
a graphic and to some degree sensa-
tional presentation Of the subject. The
health exhibit came into being, illus
trated lectures were given. A second
state commission was appointed, re-
sulting in the organization of the Wis
consin Anti-Tuberculosis association
in fulillment of a pledge made to the
group of Wisconsin cities who volun-
tarily taxed themselves to send Wis
consin's first tuberculosis exhibit to
Washington during the international
this project was given with the ex-
press understanding that in return
Wisconsin forces against tuberculosis
should be organized on a state basis.
Entire State Enlisted.
Thus from the first the Wisconsin
Anti-Tuberculosis association has been
a statewide movement, meeting a
statewide need, and deriving it's au-
thority directly from the people whose
interests it serves. Even in it's method
of financing the work it ties itself up
in the closest possible way with the
people of the state and asks them
each year for their continued endorse
ment of the work that is being carried
on for them and in their name. With
the Red Cross Christmas seal, the asso-
citation raises practically every cent
that it spends, carries the message Of
health to every person who buys OF
sells a seal, and places in their hands
a ballot for the continuance of the
associations organized fight against
tuberculosis and other preventable dis
eases.
The first Red Cross Christmas seal
sale was held in December, 1908, to
raise funds for financing the month
old organization which then had its
headquarters in the private Office of
DR.. Hoyt E. Dearholt, then chairman
of the publicity committee and for the
last ten years executive secretary of
the association. The sale brought in
little over $4,000 and with a part
of it the publicity department hired
the associations first paid worker,
Harvey Dee Brown, lecturer and or
ganizer who is now in the east with
the tuberculosis committee of the New
York State Charities Aid society.
The first annual meeting of the Wis
consin nti-Tuberculosis association
was held in a Hotel Pfister bed
room - and the room, small though
it was, was not crowded. At the
dinner session of the annual meeting
this year over 400 people from all
parts of the state, including delegates
sent by mayors and county boards of
supervisors, health officers, county
and city superintendent of schools,
public health nurses, sanatorium
superintendent and trustees, and
state officials, gathered around the
long tables and listened to speakers
of nationwide reputation from New
York and Chicago.
Instead of a corner in physician s

cipient of the Associations benefits,
the mother and the child typifying
humanity rescued from death.
"In my opinion, the greatest good
has been accomplished by propaganda
of the association concerning right
living and the value of fresh air, sun
shine, and the great outdoors. Ac-
cordingly, a large portion of the pic
ture is devoted to conveying that idea
by the representation of outdoor
sports, games, work, and army life"

Rn7HY shouldn't Wisconsin be the
WV healthiest state in the union to
live in?

FFNf7aY SnOuIQnL Wisconsin De the
W healthiest state in the union to
live in?
Nature has given it great start
Climate, wholesome country air, fer
wooded hills make it splendid place
both to work and play in. Add to
these it's wealth of dairy products
body building grains, and other food
resources, and what state in the union
can hope to compete with it for health
honors? That is, of course, providing
the indomitable Wisconsin spirit gets
onto the job with real earnestness and
enthusiasm and really makes up it's
mind that disease must go. And the
rapid strides which health work is
making in Wisconsin give every evil
dence that the people are awake to
the great possibilities that lie within
reach.
1t was with the vision of making
Wisconsin the safest place of all the
world to live in, of arousing the people
of Wisconsin to the value of utilizing
the great natural resources in which
the state abounds and to the cost1i-
ness of allowing them to go to waste,
that the organized campaign against
tuberculosis was launched about a de-
cade and a half ago. The growth of
the movement reads like a romance.
1t is to a large degree the history of
the Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis asso-
citation, for the state association was
organized in November, 1908, as the
crystallization of the effort which had
been made for several years proceed
ing, in Milwaukee, in Madison, and
here and there to less extent in sew
eral other cities of the state, to arouse
public interest in the subject of
tuberculosis.
In Pioneer Days.
When the little handful of public.
spirited, far-visioned medical men, uni
versity men, and interested 1aymen
(the number in each group was very
smalD took up their self-imposed task
of waging war on tuberculosis in Wis
consin, the subject was surrounded
with superstition. tuberculosis was
thought to be sure death, to be hered-
itary, and to be a sort of divine vista
ton which could not be avoided. The
little group of interested men knew
differently. Medical science had dis
covered that tuberculosis was both
durable and preventable. 1t knew that
the reason the disease so often "ran
in families" lay in its contagious ma
ture and in the fact that people who
had the disease did not take the
proper precautions to prevent its
spread, largely because they did not
know anything about these precau-
tons. The big task was to pass the
information in the possession of med
ical men on to the men, women and
children all over the state who were,
or might be in need of it.
The first big step in the prelim-
mary campaign before the forces took
organized form was the governors ap-
pointment of the state commission on
tuberculosis which resulted in the
building of the state sanatorium.
Co-incident with this forward step, the
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1919-12-11

vincing the people of Wisconsin that
it represents their health interests
and that support of it's activities Is
a most effective means of self and
community protection. No organiza-
ton is more truly a peoples organiza-
ton. It's watchword is now, as it has
been from the first, education, and
all it's energies are devoted TO the
single purpose, though by different
ways, of making Wisconsin the safest
place in all the world to live in and
of placing every known means Of
health protection within the reach OF
all the people.

Local First Church Subscribes $685..
900 To Big Campaign.

Sunday morning the First Baptist
church went over the top in the rs
Million Campaign.
Reports to the congregation Sun
day morning showed that members of
the first church had subscribed to-
tai of $4,000. This is $500 above
the church's quota which was $37-
500.
1t is believed that with pledges that
will be coming in for some days yet
will bring the total pledges close up
to the $4,000 mark.
DR.. r. S. Gavin, county director, is
confident that when all reports are
in the county's quota Of $4,000 will
have been raised All of the churches
of the county with the exception of
one or two have gone over the top
and have liberal amounts to spare.
The average in the quotas viii take
care of the shortage of one or two
