WINNING FIGHT AGAINST 7. B.
Big Decrease Shown in Death Rate in
Kansas.

Kansas is waging a winning fight
against tuberculosis, according to DR..
Charles H. Lerrigo, executive secretary
of the Kansas State tuberculosis asso-
citation. Deaths in this state from the
disease were 1885 in 1912 and S72 in
1920.
The slogan Of the association is
Stay in Kansas and be cured" Each
year the association holds an average
of 100 free clinics at which approx
mately $500 persons are examined of
whom 40 per cent receive treatment.
These clinics were held in thirty-three
different places in Kansas last year
and the goal is to establish a clinic in
every county.
Kansas is fighting tuberculosis thru
activities of the state board of health,
the state sanatorium for tuberculosis
at Norton, county and city tubercu-
losis associations and the Modern
Health Crusade" The crusade is an
educational movement which teaches
children habits of health. The enroll
ment is now 10000 in Kansas. The
crusaders are helping to Danish the
white plague by performing eleven
health chores daily which emphasize
the value of fresh air, exercise and
right methods of living.
