ease than men. This was pointed out
when it was explained that at the age
period OF less than twenty years, when
the majority of the cases are con-
tracted, women are more likely to be
victims than men.
tuberculosis ma. be contracted as
result of low resistance of the
body. owing to one or more or the
following causes: injury. heavy and
repeated colds pneumonia. measles,
whoopine cough, diseases of the kid
neys. These, or any other diseases
which tend to weaken the body and
lower it's resistance. tend to predis-
pose toward tuberculosis
Tuberculosis Not Hereditary.
The same thing is true of heredity.
tuberculosis cannot be transmitted
from parent to child, but the new
born child may have its resistance
lowered thru the fact that its mother
suffered from tuberculosis, and there
by be predisposed toward the disease.
In the line of occupations and living
conditions, the things which predis-
pose toward tuberculosis are: eX-
posure, dampness, poor living condi-
lions, with lack of fresh air and over
crowdfng, living or working in close,
damp, rooms. dust alcoholism, and
the pursuit of a sedentary life.
Tuberculosis is the greatest known
foe of human life" DR.. Brown says.
1T causes IA per cent of all deaths,
and SO per cent of the deaths of per-
sons between the ages of fifteen years
and forty years"
The Importance of early diagnoses
of the disease, and the commencement
of early treatment; the living of
wholesome lives, in an uncrowded,
healthy environment, is emphasized in
the light of the figures given.
ANY case of tuberculosis which has
not reached the advanced stages may
be cured by sufficient wholesome,
nourishing food, plenty of fresh air,
no worry and complete rest DIR.
Kenney, previously spoken of, de-
clared in Topeka last December.
Topeka air is as good for tuber-
culosis as any other air, just as pure.
Plenty of it. and plenty of nourishing
food, with proper living conditions
will prevent or cure tuberculosis as
well as it can be cured in any sana-
forum in the world"

The death rate, based on the num-
her Of cases, is shown TO be steadily
on the decrease-from 45 in 1915, 10
30 in 1921.
Education Is Explanation
The explanation of the increasing
number OF cases reported Is IN tne
fact that people are educated IN the
necessity of going to physician ana
ascertaining at the first symptom
whether they really have tubercu-
losis'' Doctor Brown says.
"As matter Of fact. there is prob
ably a slightly greater number OF cases
bf active tuberculosis in Topeka now
than there was in 1915, due 10 two
causes.
lone cause is the increase in popu-
latiOn. More people, necessarily more
tuberculOsis.
the state Sanatorium for tuberculosis,
pointed out in an address in Topeka
last December. that wherever there
are human being. >there is tubercu-
iosis. This lends weight to Doctor
Browns statement that the more peo-
pie there are in Topeka, the more
tuberculosis Is present in the city
The other factor advanced BY the
city health officer is the influenza
epfdernics which have occurred and
REQUIRED in Topeka several times since
1915 Influenza weakens its Victims
ana Ike any other disease, tho 10
greater extent. leaves them Win
siStance lowered, and more susceptible
to tuberculosis.
ssBut the number of cases existing
now is not nearly so much greater
than the number existing in 1915, as
the number OF reports in S921 exceed
the cases reported in 1915" Dr. Brown
declares.
1T is simply a matter OF the people
having earlier diagnoses made, ana
the doctors going TO more pains to re
port tuberculosis.
Death Rate Decreasing.
Doctor Brown credits the fact that
the death rate has been decreasing,
to increased eulightment among the
peOpfe Of Topeka They have learned
to take their doctors advice, and be-
gin measures which have resulted in
the cures Of many cases OF tubercu-
losis. when taken before the advanced
stage is reached
Tuberculosis is a unique disease In
that 1t may be present in the body Of
a subject who for years is ignorant OF
the fact that he or she is tubercular,
and then attains the advanced stage
Tuberculosis in its early stages Is
hsrd for the layman to recognize. and
not easy for the physician to diagnose
II IS for this reason that many Of the
cases which actually existed in To-
peka in 1915. have been only diagnosed
and reported in the past two years.
This public interest and enlighten-
ment is .he thing which Doctor Brown
finds in the records, to encourage

ton as an ideal, is one of the objec-

Stamped Out, Says Health Oficer-Now 1t Is the
Greatest Foe of Mankind-523 Cases in Topeka in Past
Seven Years.

The fact that the number of cases
OF tuberculosis reported in Topeka has
increased annually for the past seven
years with two exceptions which are
due to unusual conditions; that the
number of cases reported in 1921 Is
double the number reported in any
other year. with the exception OF 1890,

ceIlent in workmanship and design.
One that is most unusual and very
charming is made of black canton
crepe. The dropping brim rolls under
at the edge, and is trimmed as in the
crown, with an irregular band of tiny
blue velvet forget me-nots, hand
beaded in the center OF each with
rose or yellow. This trimming is
unique and not too elaborate in effect.
Another John Trimmer hat that is
suitable for dressy wear is beige can
ton crepe, TRIMMED with handmade
flowers and braiding of French metal
ribbon in pastel shades, the rose color
predominating. The facing is of
beige straw.
For street wear the Trimmer in a
black Milan braid and black taffeta is
ideal. The brim rolls back on the
crown and is trimmed with hand
made flowers and trailing design of
black stray braid and taffeta.
Besides the Trimmer hats and other
exclusive models, you will find at the
Maude c. Brickley Shop in the War
rem NJ. Crosby Store many nifty sport
hats, street hats and dress-up hats
that are very inexpensive.

The case fatality rate-the relative
number OF victims reported who die
of the disease. has been steadily fall

cases in their early stages, it could be
still further reduced
The average rate for the past seven

cases reported, have died. is almost a

will decrease as the number of cases
on which treatment starts in the early
stages, increases.
Public education and awakening is
the solution of the problem.
Statistics collected over large ter
ritory and thru years OF observation,
show that tuberculosis is usually de-
tected according TO the following age
table:
Under 10 years -.--..-.-..-..-.14 per cent

These are not the ages at which
the disease is contracted" Doctor
Brown declares. IF it were possible
to collect the correct data on when
the disease is contracted. il would be
shown that at least 80 per cent of the
victims of tuberculosis contract it be-
fore the age of twenty-one. once
contracted. none of the symptoms of
the advanced stages may show them
selves for ten, twenty or thirty years"
The reason for the high percentage
Of diagnoses of tuberculosis between
the ages of fifteen and thirty years is
that between those ages the average
person is more exposed in daily life
to the infection.
Both Sexes Are Liable.
Both sexes are subject to tubercu-
loSis. Between the ages OF five and
twenty years, girls are more suscep-
tible to the disease than boys. be-
cause. as a rule, their lives are more
sedentary, and a greater portion of
them is spent indoors
After the age of twenty years is
passed, men are more liable to be-
come infected with the diseAse. be-
cause they mix more with the general
population and are, therefore. more
exposed to all disease infections
tuberculosis may attack any pOr-
ton of the body. There is no organ
or locality which may not become the
focus OF tubercular infection.
