A Constructive
tuberculosis Program
In Michigan For 1922
MODERN HEALTH CRUSADE

mODEItN HEALTH ChOoADE
The eradication of tuberculosis is
primarily a problem in education. The
education of children in hygienic
habits of living offers the greatest OPP
portunity for the eventual wiping out
of the disease
The modern Health Crusade is the
big idea that is bringing better health
education to the growing generation.
1t carries good Health habits to thous-
ands and hundreds of thousands of
children; habits which will stay with
them through life and which will help
to prevent thousands of cases of tuber-
culosis in the next generation. Mich
igan now has an enrolment in the
Modern Health Crusade of nearly a
quarter of million, but that is not
enough-splendid as it is. Michigan
has school population of nearly a
million. More than three quarters of
a million of Michigan's pupils are still
without the advantage of the Crusade.
To bring the Crusade to these hun
dreds Of thousands Of pupils Crusade
director is needed and money is need
ed to purchase Crusade supplies. And
what is just as important, II not more
so, the Crusade must be carried from
the school room into the home. There
is great need of giving to school
pupils a proper home background of
health teaching. The Modern Health
Crusade, to be entirely successful,
must have the intelligent cooperation
Of the parents and brothers and sisters
at home. To carry the inspiration of
this big movement not only into the
schools but into the homes as we'll is
a big task for which workers and sup
plies are needed. The Christmas Seal
Sale is the only means Of financing
this stupendous enterprise for influ-
encing the life habits Of Nation.
NURSES
A public health nurse in a county
is safeguard against the spread Of
tuberculosis. The money expended on
visiting nurse pays dividends many
times over in better health, in decreas-
ed suffering and in lives saved from
unnecessary death. Michigan has
many counties that are without nurs-
ing service. Red Cross funds have
been exhausted in many places and
other funds are not Immediately avail
able. A visiting nurse in county
means an outlay OF not less than $3.50
per month, but it is money well spent.
II Is tuberculosis prevention service
the value of which cannot very well
be estimated. The Michigan Tuber-
culosis Association is interested in
seeing every county in the state sup
piled with visiting nurse. The ideal
way would be to have supervisors in
all counties finance such nurses. To
bring the message of this great need
before the county bodies and to get
public sentiment behind such move
ment is big task which the Michigan
tuberculosis Association feels obligat-
ed TO undertake. That cannot beAdone
adequately however Without funds. II
Is hoped that the coming Christmas
Seal .Sale. will be sufficiently large to
make II possible to initiate this work
on a state wide basis.
NUTRITION AND CHILD WELFARE
The well nourished child usually
keeps tuberculosis at bay, and there
Is perhaps no more important work
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1921-12-02

The magnitude of the migratory
consumptive problem in Arizona is in
dicated in certain figures published in
a recent issue of the Bulletin of the
State Board of Health. Two hundred
and sixteen of the 1,104 persons who
died in Arizona from tuberculosis in
1919 had resided in the state less than
three months, rs others had been
there less than six months, and rs
less than a year. In other words, 372,
or practically one-third OF the total
number of deaths were of persons who
had resided in Arizona less than a
year. The records further show from
what states these health-seekers came.
OF the 1,104 cases, only 23S were re-
ported as having contracted the dis
ease in Arizona. In 343 cases, the for
mer residence was not stated. OF the
remaining number 81 came from Cali
fornia, 80 from Illinois, 81 from Texas,
26 from Missouri, 20 from Ohio and
IS from New York. Forty-two states
in all were represented, leaving out
only Connecticut, Maryland, Massach-
usetts, New Hampshire, South Caro-
lima and Vermont

The Modern Health Crusade
BY
HELEN CeSPELDER MOORE

WHAT is the Modern Health Cru
sade?
A campaign which in Michigan is
fostered by the Michigan tuberculosis
Association, not limited to tuberculosis
or to any particular disease but which
aims to so build up the general health
of the child so that susceptibility to
disease is lessened.
In brief, the game is as follows:
Eleven health chores are listed on
each child's card with a space where
daily credits may be given for the per-
Torrance of the same.
Each day shows the debit and credit
side of the ledger.
A blank space-and some blanks we
must expect, for Johnny being very
human is surely some day going to
forget to clean his nails and Mary to
brush her teeth-but this space acts
as reminder for an extra effort to
have a perfect score the next day.
1t has the advantage which always
comes when young people as a group
are interested in particular subject.
In this case, the object in view is
the establishment Of good health hab-
it's in the younger children thru the
daily performance of these eleven
health chores for which the game
calls.
Even such onerous tasks as brush
ing Of teeth and washing of neck and
ears can be made a pleasure when
worked into an organizations game.
This constitutes the foundation of the
Modern Health Crusade.
WHO are the Modern Health Cru
saders?
They are those children who qualify
by do ng the official health chores and
who agree to the pledge printed on
the Certificate of Enrolment.
Adults may qualify by doing the
senior chores or Honorary Crusaders
may be elected by the teachers and
Crusaders for services, financial or
otherwise, rendered.
WHERE are these Crusaders to be
| found?
In the schools of America from the
land of the Eskimo to the cotton field
Of the south and beyond. 1t is a game
where white, black, red and yellow
children share equal honors. Children
in the mansion need it the same as the
pickaninny from the cabin or the little
boy in his suit of furs.
HOW may we secure this Crusade
plan?
Write to the Michigan Tuberculosis
Association, els Oakland Building
Lansing, for a full description of the
game and arrange to have it started
in your school.
WHEN will 1t be possible to have
the million school children of Michigan
enrolled as Crusaders?
When you and have bought Christ
mas Seals as literally as we should
80 that sufficient funds are available
to supply material and workers tc
make this dream a reality.
Last year about one child out OF
eight were Crusaders.
Let us help make 1t possible &c
change these figures during the nexl
year.. -
1t is for the people of Michigan tc
decide during the next few weeks
WHEN these needy children may be
come squires and knights In this bis
Crusade for better health.

Millions for tuberculosis Deaths

The statistical bulletin of the Me-
tropolitan Life Insurance Company re-
ports that during the year 1920, out of
nearly $47000,0O0, in death claims,
more than $6,50O,OOO were paid for
de'ths resulting from tuberculosis.
disease produced the largest
oap of losses during the year, de-
spite the fact that the death rate from
tuberculosis in 1920 was the lowest
in the h story of the company, two
fifths below that of 1911.
Commenting on the matter, the bull
letin states: There is still much room
for expansion of the educational cam
paign which has been carried on for
years to show the Importance Of per-
sonal hygiene, of early recognition Of
incipe nt cases, and of the fresh-air
method of treatment"
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1921-12-02

A penny may seem small amount
with which to combat such great
disease as tuberculosis, but the indica-
lions are that the millions of penn es
contributed each year at Christmas
time by the people of this and other
states are winning the battle against
the white plague. If anyone before
the dawn of history could have seen
the little sea insects that built the
coral island work cell by cell, he would
never have bel eyed that these tiny
organisms could eventually cause
mighty islands to arise. But count
less billions of them in the course Of
time performed the miracle.
And countless millions Of pennies,
contributed each year for the tuber-
culosis fight, are also bringing to pass
the health miracle Of winning the fight
against that disease. The time will
come some day when tuberculosis will
be as rare as smallpox Is today. And
the. Christmas seal sale will be to a
large extent responsible for this happy
result.

LOCAL TRADING
AGAIN LIFELESS
Nev Gas Ordinance Gives
Fresh Hope of Settlement
of Lease Controversy

Trading in the local stocks showed
little life. Apart from the continued
strength of U. G.. I. and Pennsylvania
Railroad the morning operations did
not amount to much. The new ordi-
nance submitted to Council by Mayor
Moore while not promising any i'm
mediate settlement of the gas
question was regarded nevertheless as
a right step in the right direction, IN
that it leaves the question open to tur-
ther investigation with the hope OF re-
lief bein, given the company in its
present unfortunate position.
There was a moderate demand for the
stock at 80, which after being supplied,
the price shaded to 3l4. Pennsyiva-
MIA Railroad was carried within a
shadow Of SO again on the very best
kind of buying The stock is being
slowly taken off the street and once
more finding lodgment in boxes of the
investors.
All other dealings were of a small
caliber and reflected an extremely mar
row mTrket. Electric Storage Battery
rallied fractionally TO 1854. Small of
ferings caused Philadelphia Rapid
Transit to shade to 1917. Union Trac-
ton, on the ether hand, remained firm
at 81. Little was done in the Phila :
delphia Electric issues. Few shares OF
American Gas changed hands at 33,
or q above the last sale.

ADVANCE RESUMED
WITH FRESH V|GOR
Sudden Flop of Market at Mid
day Caught Short In
terest Mapping

New York, Sept. 16.--Today's stock
market took another one of those sud-
den and startling fors around midday
for some occult reason, and was quickly
transformed from halting and color
less affair into a full fcdged boiling
bull movement. The about face turn
furnished a further convincing exempli-
fication that the line of least resistance
is still upward. Evidently a fairly
good sized short interest was caught
mapping and the pool interests and other
speculative combinations were not slow
in taking advantage of their discoffi-
ture; to the contrary, all Efforts TO re-
duce short lines encountered vigorous
competitive bidding. As a result in less
than an hour the more uctive specu-
lative favoritcs regained all the ground
lost in the two preceding days under
realizing sales and were carried to the
top price of the week. In number
Of instances new highs" were made
for the current movement.
There was nothing in the. way Of
news Developments which could be ac.
cepted as q real incentive outside Of
I0P luTJutI ~S~' -
ratio shown by the Federal Reserve
system. The foreign advices were any
thing but favorable. On the other hand,
Yesterdays rumors of a threatened
strike by the railroad shopmen lacked
confirmation. Neither did anything
alarming come out of the bankers con-
ference yesterday afternoon over which
certain element of the trading con
tingent had evinced great deal Of
concern.
The market showed little life in the
first hour of the trading. Price move
ments were irregular, stocks first sell
ing off then recovering to around the
opening halves, only to again show n
sagginS tendency. In the beginning of
the second hour a gradual hardening
tendency, was discernible, then all Of
sudden the more active operators
changed their trading position and be-
gan to bid vigorously for all the active
issues all through the list. The re-
nowed upturn had its inception, in the
fresh buying of the rails, oils and
equipments, but before midday the
movement virtually extended to, every
quarter of the list. A renewed mo-
mentum was supplied the rising tide by
the taken-up steel shares and the re-
current buoyancy of United states
Steel was signal for wild buying
movement all around the room.

MAKES BRIDGE LAND PRICE
Commission to Consider Offer Of
Owner on This Side

Officials of the Delaware River Bridge
Joint Commission will have definite
offer to consider today on one of the
largest properties in the group on this
side of the river, when they meet in
the Widener Building. This is the
first price to be fixed by an owner of
any Of the thirty properties which the
commission has announced 1t intends to
take.
Until the commission and its real cs-
tate experts have passed on the offer,
the details will be withheld The prop
crty in question, however, is on Front
street in the group between that thor
oughfurc and Delaware avenue, north
of Race street, as far as Winter, which
Is to be taken over by the commission
on or before December |.
Inofficially II was said yesterday that
the price fixed seems to be fair and
reasonable. II this Is upheld by real
estate experts members of the commits
sion hope that 1t will set II precedent
for other owners OF buildings in the
territory outlined, and will makei 1t
unnecessary to 20 to court over any
OF these structures. Instead. they may
be taken by agreement on the price to
be paid.

that friends of the members Of the COM

appeared to have their names placed on

"No one stood in line for more than
an hour and half yesterday" said
Mr.. Fell. 'To hasten matters, the

LAY DEATH TO AUTO DRIVER
Authorities Charge Manslaushter In
Accident In Which Girl Was Killed

Atlantic City, Sept. 1G.-A charge of
manslaughter has been preferred against
Sydney Diamond, twenty years old, son
of a wealthy New York cottager, driver
of the automobile wrecked early We'd
nesday morning on the White Horse
pike near Pomona. The accident resulted
in the death of Anna Johnson, 2lS2 East
Lehigh avenue, Philadelphia; the Sc
riOus injury of Frank G. Huber, 10G
South Connecticut avenue; Ethel An
gus, 6B7 New Buckley street, Bristol,
Pa, and to Diamond
County authorities assert evidence
lends them to the conclusion that Dia-
m0nd was driving at excessive speed
when he crashed into truck while
trying to pass between it and another.
A warrant on the manslaughter
charge will be served on Diamond as
soon as he has recovered sufficiently
to leave the City Hospital, where he is
under police guard.
