PROTECT CHILDREN OF THE
LAND FROM TUBERCULOSIS
Nationwide Movement to Start
In April to Protect Little Ones

Beginning in April, the National
tuberculosis Association, working
through the local organizations in
every part of the country, will start
a nationwide movement to bring
about better understanding of the
Importance of protecting children
from tuberculosis.
Explaining the reason for this Ell
fort, DR.. R. H. Riley, Director Of the
Maryland State Department of Health,
said every few people realize that
young children-including even young
babies-catch tuberculosis very cas-
ily, Just as they catch measles or scar
let fever or any other of the other
so-called children's diseases, by assoc
iating with other persons who have
the disease.
zone reason why so few parents
are aware of the danger they are run
ming when they let person who has
tuberculosis kiss a little child, or
when they let little children play on
the floor or around the room of per-
son who is sick with lung trouble, is
that tuberculosis either takes a diff
ferent form in children from that to
which we are accustomed in grown
ups or does not make it's appearance
in a comparatively short time, as
other diseases do, after exposure to it.
BY the time marked symptoms ap-
pear, the Seeding disease has struck
deep roots into the child's system and
it is hard to bring it under control.
"Then, too, in young children, the
germs of tuberculosis may attack the
bones or some other part of the body
and the child who has this form Of
the disease may show few of the more
familiar symptoms. For these reas-
ons, every possible means should be
taken to protect young children from
the disease. The rules of living that
will help to build up resistance to the
diseases, and will protect young chill
dren from it include these:
"Keep the children away from peo-
pie who have tuberculosis.
"Have their work, study and play
so adapted to their strength that they
will not overdo.
"Insist on plenty of rest and sleep.
"See that they have nourishing
food, well balanced meals, with plenty
Of milk and green vegetables.
"Train them in health habits, and
"See that they are taken regularly
to the doctor for a health examina-
ton"
