REELECTED"
BY Leo P. Cook

BY Leo L, COOK.
On an early summer day of 1913 the
Michigan College Of Mines was receiv-
ing recruits for it's special training
course for soldiers. They had been
sent in by draft boards from various
parts of the upper peninsula. AS a
reporter | was on hand to size up the
new men and to pick up such human
interest news as might serve to dress
up the routine stuff of the day.
Out from the medical examiners
Office came a big young fellow. He
was better than six feet tall and he
probably stripped at $50. He picked
his suitcase out from among a collec-
ton in the hall and started away from
the building, headed out Of the camp
us, in palpable detection. He looked
like human interest stuff and, with the
genial effrontery that reporter
knows how to get away with after a
few years of practice, | accosted him.
To put 1t bluntly the youth had been
declined by his country in need be-
cause he had TB. He was tuberculoLs,
a consumptive.
Up to that moment l had rather en-
tertained the idea, at least for some
years, THAT IL Wdb uOlhAllS SlOlI VI
criminal for man to permit himself
to become a tuberculosis victim, and
especially in Houghton county. Had
we not been educating the people?
Had | not written literally hundreds
of columns of educational matter on
the Great White Plague? We had
preached the open window, and clean
living, and outdoor air and good food,
and here was a great husky chap,
splend.d material for a soldier, who
was going home, maybe to die.
He typified to me the necessity for
eternal vigilance, for persistent, un-
firing perseverance in the work
against the plague. And that is why
the state and country associations
must be maintained at Their fullest
capacity and their highest efficiency,
not for a time but forever more.
And he is but one Of legion, and l
want to do my little share in prevent
ing such tragedies by making the or
ganized fight against tuberculosis a
vigorous one in every county in the
state. Some Of us cannot engage in
that work actively, but all of us can
help it by pushing the Christmas seal
sale at Christmas time. The seals are
the ammunition in the battle against
tn disease and we can all help to
provide more ammunition by buying
seals ourselves and encouraging 9TH
ers to buy.
The Yale expositor., 1921-12-08

When, along with war, the world
has rid itself of tuberculosis, we will
near the millennium. We will then
have eliminated more than half of all
the suffering that exists. 1t is safe to
say that when we stamp out tubercu-
losis we will free mans mind of many
Of the abnormalities that make for
war, for poverty, for social and eco
nomic depression.
| shall not go into figures. They are
too staggering. Let it suffice that only
few, very few, go through life
without SCARED lungs. Only few es-
cape at least a touch of the germ that
heralds the white death. So uni
versal is this disorder that within two
generations of nearly every family 1t
Claims one or a number. tuberculosis
is mans bitteTest opponent, his most
uncompromising antagonist, his dead
Hest foe.
tuberculosis is distinctly product
of civilization. 1t does not inhere in
the natural organic life. It's coward
ly disease that attacks the oppressed,
the depressed, the weak, the unsus-
pecting. 1t follows usually in the path
of other disorders brought about by
exposure or carelessness. The carrion
waits for its prey to die. Other carni-
verous animals, in proportion to their
strength and bravery, or as they may
be pressed by hunger, meet their prey
in struggle. Not so with tuberculosis.
IL seeks its victim after the struggle
from which the sufferer may have
survived.
Nothing yields with greater readi-
ness to any form Of opposition than
cowardice. That is che reason why
tuberculosis can be exterminated. 1t
is the great human disorder that we
know can be stopped. tuberculosis
fears the air, the sunlight. 1t shuns
kindness, care and attention. Like the
creeping, crawling things that dwell
under stones and scrubs and revel in
dark, dank places, it scurries off and
burrows itself elsewhere when the
stone is turned and the suns bright
rays penetrate the gloom. To be cured
of tuberculosis requires less medicine
than is necessary to Danish the sim
plest stomach ache. What is required
is air, sunlight and rest. Knowing
this, what would you not do to provide
these rich gifts in their utmost album
dance for those upon whose cheek is
stamped the shadow of the white
death?
And suppose that effort consisted
mostly of buying a stamp such as you
place upon a letter. Suppose you were
assured that the letters you send out
around Christmas time carrying good
will to men could also for the price of
a stamp, be the means OF carrying life
to those who are threatened by, or
afflicted with this plague how long
would 1t take you TO provide yourself
with sufficient number of such
stamps to cover your correspondence
Be assured OF the truth of this. II
you can afford to pay only for a day
of sunlight, care and rest, for a tuber-
culous ex-service man, you are not
only patriot and "a humanitarian but
you are living up to the fullest exem-

as tn s disease takes at least one out

Don't Worry

Do not forget the mental condition
Of the tuberculous patient. Worry, no
matter what the cause may be, and
inconsistencies are retarding factors.
They simply must not be. Keep away
all mental disturbances il possible,
and it is usually possible. Too much
company, too many relatives someone
on the premises nagging, the worry
over money and many other annoy
ances can and should be obliterated.
No homesick patient ever RECEIVERS.
Send ng patients away is often unjust
ifable. Only those should be sent
away who can go and remain long
enough to be cured, If durable, with
out any worries regarding finance. He
should not be sent away alone to a
new community where no one cares
for him except to get his money, and
where there is every inducement to
become lonesome and homesick. Peace
of mind is as necessary as a quiet

sale to stamp out tuberculosis in Mich

THE women OF Michigan have al

Until Then

Science has quite definitely estab-
fished the fact that practically all
adult persons in civilized countries
are infected with tuberculosis. Only
correct life habits taught from in
fancy can bring about any very ma
terial decrease in the deaths. When
everybody In all civilized countries
knows all the important facts about
tuberculosis and when everybody has
the influence Of several generations Of
correct living behind him-then, per-
haps, there will be no more need to
buy Christmas seals.

1t is difficult to give comprehensive idea of
the Importance which the gradual disappearance
of money will have for the whole course Of social
life, for the psychology of the average person.
The man in the street has been accustomed from
time immemorial to the idea of money as the most
habitual phenomenon of social relations, and per-
haps even of nature itself.
And now the ancient pillars of the commercial
system are coming down like house of cards be-
fore the first organised efforts of the victorious
proletariat Looking at this first display of creative
effort made in the first and most difficult period
of the existence of the new order, we can imagine
the progress which will be made in the future
when, after the final wars we shall be able to put
to better effect the resources and man-power of
one-tenth of the globe which is at our disposal.
Our children will grow up, and money to them will
be reminiscence, and our grandchildren will learn
of it from the coloured pictures in their history
books at school.
