TO CARE FOR TB PATIENTS
Local Red Cross Will Cooperate With
Government in Treatment.

The ex-service man with tuberculo
sis, who has been adjudged entitled to
government care by a government
physician frequently finds himself in
a bad case in the interval between the
time he is declared eligible for gov
eminent treatment and the time he is
actually admitted to a government
hospital.
Many of these men, according to C.
E. Bascom, chairman of the Shawnee
county chapter of the Red Cross. are
in destitute circumstances. They
have no means of support, and no
where to go while they are awaiting
transportation to government hos
pital. Officially, they have been
granted treatment, but while the ma
chinery of government grinds slowly
on, they are in sad state.
The Shawnee county chapter OF the
Red Cross has arranged to care for
the men who are destitute. during the
interval between their acceptance for
treatment and their admission to hos
pital. At the expense of the Red
Cross, these men will be taken to the
Topeka Tuberculosis sanatorium and
ready to receive them into its hos
pitfalls.
1.-The interval between acceptance
days or a.week. Formerly it was as
high as two months. Right at that
time, these men need care, and we
have arranged with the government
officers. the district Red Cross Off
Gals, and the local sanatorium heads
to look after Them" Bascom said to-
day
