DOCTOR TELLS OF
NEEDLESS DEATHS
Daughters Contract Dis
ease from Mother Who
Was Apparently Well.
URGES CLINIC VISITS

The story of a mother who unwit-
tingly killed three of her daughters
and did not realize it even when she
stood beside the coffin of each, was
told today by DR.. Oscar Lott, lung
specialist in charge of clinical work
for the Wisconsin Anti tuberculosis as
ISOLATION. Examination at a free chest
clinic showed that she was carrier
of tuberculosis while apparently in the
best of health.
The girls, Is, 10 and 81 years old
respectively, contracted the dread
disease and one at time were taken
from the family circle. An immediate
investigation showed chat a son was
i'll at home He was brought to the
clinic and also found to have the dis
ease. He was Immediately sent away
for treatment, and is now we'll on the
road to recovery. There are two
younger children in the family and at
present every precaution is being
taken to guard them.
Kenosha has a free chest clinic at
563 South Chicago street, which is
supported by the Wisconsin Anti-Tub-
erculosis association, and it is to en-
phasize the need for regular chest ex-
aminations that the physician told of
the incident of the three girls who
were cut off just as they were budding
into womanhood. Had the mother
come to the clinic FIVE years before
she did, her girls would probably be
alive today, it was added.
Reason for Existence.
"The discovery of the unknown cases
of tuberculosis which are lurking in
the city is the reason for the existence
of the clinic here in Kenosha," DIR.
Lott declared. "The old adage about
AN ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure is particularly apple
able to chest maladies. tuberculosis
is cureable if taken in the early stages
before it gets death grip on the pa
tient, and realizing this the Wisconsin
Anti Tuberculosis association has been
organized to fight the white plague
"In addition to the discovery of tub
erculosis, many minor disorders are
discovered during these periodic exam
nations which, if allowed to go I'M
treated, might develope into major
disease.
"The chest examinations are free of
charge. The nation has awakened to
the fact that tuberculosis is one of
the most insidious Of diseases, and
determined efforts are being, made to
eradicate it. The case of the mother,
from whom the three daughters con-
tracted the disease, illustrates the fact
that not only is the patient liable to
die, but one person may spread it to
many others"
Persons who have persistant cough
or pains in the chest or who have had
close relatives who have contracted the
disease, should go to the clinic here

r. p. MCGOWAN, owner OF the Nc
Gowan Walk-Over Shoe. company, filed
a suit charging breach of contract
against F.. w. Bromberg & company in
the chancery division of the circuit court
Wednesday.
In his petition, MCGOWAN alleges that
be entered upon a lease-hold upon 312-
l 14 North Twentieth street for 10 years,
starting October /, 1924. He further
asserts that one Of the conditions under
which he entered into the lease was that

berg, doing business as +. w. Brom-
berg & company, had entered into an
other agreement by which they were
to occupy part of the new premises.
At that time, it was understood, ac-
cording to the complainant, that the
Bromberg company would move its store
from Third avenue and Twentieth
street, thereby attracting considerable
trade into the shoe store.
He has since learned, according to che
petition, that the defendants were plan
ming to move the Lynch Jewelry COM

Gowan asserts that this is in violation
Of the agreement.
