AT the present death rate from tuberculosis and pneu-
monia, 20.000.000 people living today are doomedt to die of
these Diseases unless absolute cleanliness is established in
our cities and towns. The best way to combat there diseases
is to eliminate the causes of infection.
One of the greatest instruments of war against the great
Whlte Plague is the Cleanup and Paintup Campaign.
the anti-spitting ordinance, the erection of sanitary drinking
fountains, the thorough cleaning of streets and alleys, and
the popularization of washable, germproof surfaces through
the cleaning and painting inside and outside of homes, schools
and all other buildings in which people live and work. The
National tuberculosis Association declares 'the easiest way
TO get nd OF the germs that have nested in your house and
around your premises is to clean up and paint up"
tuberculosis, or Consumption" as it is popularity known
can be prevented, and in its early stages it can be cured, but
we can effectively stamp out this disease by securing and
maintaining thorough cleanliness and sanitation. such as is
invariably accomplished by a thorough Cleanup and Paintup
Campaign.

HOW TO FIGHT THE WHITE PLAGUE

The great White Plague, commonly known as tubercu-
losis, is being fought more successfully than in past years,
but it still continues to take its enormous toll of precious
human lives.
Ten years ago the mortality reports of 100 leading cities
showed that As per cent of all deaths were due to pneumonia
and tuberculosis. These are kindred diseases, and many
sufferers from pneumonia survive only to develop an active
case of tuberculosis.
Both are germ diseases. In tuberculosis, infection results
from germIaden dust, drinking cups. or through personal
contact. z
Investigations to determine the life of the tubercle bacili
have shown that the dust in the bedding and carpets of
people who had died ten to twenty years previously, con-
tanned these germs. .I
The book, dust and It's Dangers" by DR.. T. A. Prudden
of New York, is authority for the statement that an adult
consumptve walking on the streets will expectorate a billion
germs every day. These germs are mixed with the dust, they
are tracked into the home on shoes, where they find lodg-
ment in the rugs. People breathe the dust laden air and
become infected.
