CHEST CLINIC OPENS
IN COUNTY THIS WEEK

Two new communities, Bagley and
MOntfOrt, are among the six commu-
mites which have been selected as
clinic centers to be visited by the
Travelling Free Chest Clinic of the
Wisconsin AntiTuberculosis Associa-
ton when it comes to Grant county
the latter part of this week and the
first of next This will be the fourth
series of clinics to be held in this
county which still holds record as
being the one which has done the
most of any county in the state, to
make this clinic service available to
the entire county by providing for the
holding of the clinics in various Sec
tions of the county.
One of the new featuren OF the Octo-
Der clinics will be the special clinic
for school children which will be held
at Platteville on the day preceding the
one originally scheduled for that city's
clinic. 1t had been decided when the
plans were first made that there
would only be one day clinic in
Platteville, as we'll as in other COM
munities although provision is being
made to handle the larger crowd
which will naturally apply at the
county seat for examinations by hav-
ing three physicians. By the new
plan the clinic for school children will
be held at Platteville on the same day
as the Montfort clinic, Friday, Octo-
Der, 20. The general clinic at Platte
vile will be on Saturday.
This will be the fourth visit of the
clinic to Platteville and also to
Bloomington, where the clinic will be
held on Monday, the third to Cass-
Vile, and the second to Hazel Green
which was one of the fortunate win
ners of a prize clinic awarded by the
state association in last DEFENDERS
Christmas seal sale. The schedule is
Montfort, Oct 20; Platteville, Oct. 20
and 21; Bloomington, Oct. %; Bagley,
Oct "a; Hazel Green, Oct. %, and
Cassville, Oct. 26. Men, women and
children in Grant county who wish to
take advantage of this opportunity
for a free chest examination are urged
to apply at the clinic as soon after it
opens in the morning as possible. On
former visits of the clinic to Grant
county it has never been possible for
the examining physicians to take care
of the large number who have applied
and the result has been that many
late corners have been disappointed.
Among those who ought especially
to take advantage of the clinics are
those who have been examined at
former clinics and found to be tuber-
culous; those who have had con-
tinued exposure to the disease through
contact with an active case either in
the home or at work; and those who
have any reason, such as persistent
cough, afternoon fever, or loss of
weight, to suspect that there in any
lung trouble. The clinics are being
held in Grant county, as they have al
ways been, by the joint cooperation of
the Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis As
ISOLATION, the work of which is fl
nanced by the annual sale of Christ
mas seals; and of the Grant county
chapter of the Red Cross. Mrs. Bara-
bara Fletcher, the county nurse, and
Miss Alice Kruger, secretary Of the
Red Cross, are in charge of the local
arrangements. The Platteville Clinic
will be held at the Mining School; the
Montfort clinic at Dr. Ketterer's Of
fee; the Bloomington Clinic at the
Bark Hall; the Bagley clinic at the
Town Hall; the Hazel Green Clinic at
the Town Hall; Cassville, at the
Town Hall.
