A Pauperizing Disease
THEODORE J. WERLE

tuberculosis Is pauperizing dis
ease. II Is not q disease OF pauperA.
Rich and poor alike are it's victims.
Not long ago one of the workers OF
the Michigan tuberculosis association
met a man on train who was taking
his wife-an advanced case OF tubep-
culosis-to a sanatorium. The hus-
band, forced to sell the homestead,
realized $4,000 net after the sale. In
two years that sum had been reduced
to less than $1,000, and the children
of the family soon may be sanatorium
cases.
This man will find In few weeks
that from once being a happy, healthy
farm owner, with wife and three
lusty youngsters enjoying Michigan's
great out-of-doors, he has been reduce
ed by tuberculosis to a penniless
widower. He has already had to ask
for county aid, and the life and health
OF his children hangs in the balance.
Truly tuberculosis is a scourge. Christ
mas seals are your defense.
Here is another illustration:
"The county commissioners have re-
fused to give me help because my
wife Is an advanced case. They help
only incipients." These words on a
postcard addressed to the Michigan
tuberculosis Association tell another
chapter in the suffering of a man, his
wife and three children from tubercu-
losis.
The wife and mother will die. There
is no hope for her recovery. The In
| justice to the children of such a deci
sion by the county commissioners need
not be touched upon They must be
supported out of what remains OF a
wage of S25 week after the necessi-
ties OF the consumptive and mainte-
nance at SIS a week in a sanatorium
have been paid.
Consider the short-sighted policy OF
the men who refused aid to this fam
lily. There are three children in the
family. Without question their long
contact with an advanced case of
tuberculosis has infected them. The
oldest, boy, has already had to spend
weary weeks in a plaster cast because
his spine Is affected. He may be a
hunchback-a form of tuberculosis.
The hardship and suffering and worry
which these little ones are forced to
endure while they are waiting for their
mother to die is almost certain to ad-
vance the disease in them. And the
county officers will soon find them
selves with three so-called incipient
cases Chose children probably now
are incipients) to provide for. So
they and the community will have to
pay. and what is more pitiable, 30 too
must the three innocents pay-be-
cause all people do not yet know the
relentless march OF uncared for tuber-
culosis.
The local tuberculosis society, fin
anced by Christmas seals, has been
notified OF the case. II Christmas
seals were bought generously in this
mans county last year and will be
bought generously again this year,
that local society may be in a position
to save these three little livse.

being restored to health.
We now also know, or at least

culosis just two things are necessary.
First, education to the point that all
will understand the necessary steps
to guard against tuberculosis and will
take those steps, both young and old;
and second, isolation in sanatoria or

Millions for tuberculosis Death,

The statistical bulletin of the Ne
tropolitan Life Insurance Company re-
ports that during the year 1920, out OF
nearly $47.000,000, In death claims,
more than $6.5Oo.00o were paid for
deaths resulting from tuberculosis.
This disease produced the largest
group OF losses during the year, de-
spite the fact that the death rate from
tuberculosis In 1920 was the lowest
in the history 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
incipient cases, and of the fresh-air
method OF treatment"

A penny may seem a small amount
with which to combat such a great
disease as tuberculosis, but the indica-
tions are that the millions OF pennies
contributed each year at Christmas
time by the people OF this and other
states are winning the battle against
the white plague. IL 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 believed 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

The Modern Health Crusade

HELEN pesPELpER 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 30 that susceptibility to
disease Is lessened.
In brief, the game In as follows:
Eleven health chores are listed on
each childs card with q 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 a reminder for an extra effort to
have a perfect score the next day.
II has the advantage which always
comes when young people as q grouI
are interested in particular subject
In this case, the object In view Is
the establishment Of good health hab
its in the younger children thru the
daily performance of these clever
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 wher
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 doing the official health chores and
who agree to the pledge printed or
the Certificate OF Enrolment.
Adults may qualify by doing the
senior chores OF Honorary Crusaders

WHERE are these Crusaders to bt
found?
In the schools Of America from the
land OF the Eskimo to the cotton field
of the south and beyond. II is a gam,
where white, black, red and yellow

A Constructive
tuberculosis Program
In Michigan For 1922
MODERN HEALTH CRUSADE


The eradication of tuberculosis Is
primarily a problem in education. The
education OF children In hygienic
habits OF living offers the greatest op-
portunity for the eventual wiping out
of the disease.
The modern Health Crusade fs the
big idea that Is bringing better health
education to the growing generation.
II 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 q
quarter OF million, but that 10 not
enough-splendid as II is. Michigan
has a school population Of nearly a
million. More than three quarters OF
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 II need
ed to purchase Crusade supplies. And
what Is just as important, IL 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 well Is
big task for which workers and sup
plies are needed. The Christmas Seal
Sale is the only means of financing
encing the life habits OF a Nation.
NURSES
A public health nurse In q county
Is q 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 a county
means an outlay OF not less than $3.50
per month, but II is money well spent
II 10 tuberculosis prevention service
the value OF VIII ch 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 idea
way would be to have supervisors In
all counties finance such nurses. TC
bring the message of this great neet
before the county bodies and to get
public sentiment behind such a move
ment is big task which the Michigan
tuberculosis Association feels obligaf
ed to undertake. That cannot be done
adequately however without funds. i
is hoped that the coming Christmai
Seal Sale will be sufficiently large L
make IL possible to initiate this worl
on a state wide basis.
