Tuberculosis is Preventable

Is tuberculosis real menace and. if
so, are the plans of the Vermont Tu-
berculosis Association for attacking it
practical' These two questions are
set forth by Mr.. Fred A. Rowland,
State Chairman for the Campaign, to
raise $4,000 to fight tuberculosis in
Vermont and to make possible a gift
of $4,000 for a new preventorium, as
fundamental in determining whether
to contribute to this cause.
That tuberculosis is a real menace,
Mr. Rowland states is sufficiently
proved by the fact that it kills one
third of all who die between the ages
of Is and 49, that it is responsible for
one-tenth of all deaths. 1t kills an
average of 300 in Vermont every year.
As to the second question, are the pro-
posed plans for attacking it practical,
Mr.. Rowland states that the Rockefel-
Ter Foundation has spent hundreds of
thousands of dollars against tubercu-
losis in France on the very same plan,
Secondly, that the plan has the whole
hearted endorsement of the State Board
of Health and, lastly, that Mr.. and
Miss Proctor realize the need of fnan-
cling this plan and made their generous
gift of $4,000 for a new preventorium
contingent on raising fund sufficient
to finance it.
Mr.. H. w Slocum, Secretary of the
Vermont tuberculosis Association,
states that one-half OF the work of the
Association is to help build up the re-
sistance of individuals to the disease;
the other protection from infection.
For the first half, the Association with
the cooperation of the State Board of
Health is enlstingthe boys and girls of
the state in Health Crusade in which
they do health chores and learn health
habits in game. Over twenty thous-
and boys and girls in Vermont are
Health Crusaders and the movement
has the written endorsement of near
ly every district superintendent. In
addition to this, lectures have been
given, health pictures shown, etc.
The second half of the work is to
discover and place under proper super
vision sufferers from the disease 1t
is estimated that there are about two
thousand cases of tuberculosis in the
state under no medical supervision.
Some of these are spreading infection
to others, and some could be cured
if given a chance. In addition to
these, there are the children in these
homes predisposed to the disease.
To reach these people, the Associa-
ton plans to place a health nurse in
each of the ten health districts to work
with the District Health Officer; to
place at the disposal Of the physicians
Of the state a doctor trained in the
early diagnosis of tuberculosis and, last
y, to secure the new preventorium Of
ered by the Proctor family.
Mr.. Slocum States that 90 per cent
If the money will be used exclusively

Prohibition the Issue
Bellows Falls Times

Advices from all parts of the state
indicate that F. H. Babbitt has good
lead over all other candidates in the
race for the governorship, but indica
tions are that more and more as the cam
paign progresses the prohibition issue
will be emphasized. This will divide
the voters into two camps, those who
are for the 18th amendment and those
who are against it, The pros have three
candidates and the ants one. With
the lead that Rabbit has and is likely
to maintain, what pity that the issue
cannot be squarely met with each side
represented by one candidate, -Agan
who advocates resubmission of the
amendment and Rabbit who leaves the
amendment where it is and change the
enforcing law to meet public demands.

their wool last spring.

Mr.. RALPH A. ELLIOTT,
Middlebury, Vt.
Dear Sir:
Replying to your letter of the Sth,
we have had your wool sold and had it
rejected because we could not get cars
to ship it in. We sold a large line of
one fourth blood woods, at what we
considered a very good price, four
weeks ago and they tried every day to
get cars to ship it in and could get no
cars and there are none in sight There
is no use in trying to sell and not be
able to get it on the railroad. We are
virtually at a standstill, we can neither
get it in or 'out if the conditions con-
tinue. We do not think we will do
much this year.
Very truly yours,
