TUBERCULOSIS DEATH
RATE DECREASING

Declaring that the campaign for the
early diagnosis of tuberculosis will
ultimately result in farther reduc-
ton of the deaths from this disease
Professor John Weinzirl, director OF
the McDermott Foundation of the
University of Washington, gives the
following interesting facts.
"In 1900 the death rate for tuber-
culosis in the registration area OF the
United States was 2O1 per 100000 OF
population; in 1925 the rate had fallen
to 1866, or to less than one-half the
former formidable figure, marvellous
showing for brief quarter century"
said Professor Weinzirl For many
of us it is difficult to realize the
change and how it has been brought
about. Indeed, many agencies have
had share in this beneficient work,
but beyond a doubt the largest part
must be ascribed to the tuberculosis
Association organized to battle tuber-
culosis in every part of the United
States. The Christmas Seal sale has
made this battle possible.
But death rate of S6 is still ten
times that of the once dreaded diph-
liberia, or the terrible typhoid of earl
Ter times. How can the tuberculosis
rate be further reduced? We know
enough about tuberculosis to actually
prevent it. We have the machinery
to accomplish the task. All that re-
mains is for our people to use the OPP
portunities available.
I'VE know, for example, that tuber-
culosis in its earliest stage is a disease
most amenable to treatment; that the
infection is usually acquired early in
life, usually in childhood; that the
fatal disease usually develops after
years Of incubation; and finally we
know that this infection can be dis
covered by use of the tuberculin test,
by the x-Ray, and by other means.
If discovered sufficiently early the in
lection can be arrested and rendered
harmless. The early diagnosis cam
paign now in progress is planned to
accomplish this grand result Its value
cannot be overestimated. But the CO.
operation Of the public is absolute
necessary to its success"
Literature and posters have been
sent to the tuberculosis leagues and
country nurses for distribution during
the campaign.

HEALTH EXAMINATION.

For several years the Parent-Teach-
ers' Association has been encouraging
the health examination of pre-school
children. Cooperating with it are the
official and unofficial health and
child welfare agencies, and in our
state the Public Health League Of
Washington.
Parents are becoming aware that
the seemingly well child may have
physical defects and handicaps that
may cause disability in the future and
may even much shorten life.
During the pre-school age the child
is laying the foundation for his second
set of teeth. His strength and health
fulness will depend much upon the
childs physical condition during these
years.
Tonsils in many children become in
fected. If these are not promptly re-
moved long train of more or less
permanent troubles threatens. Ade-
noids some times develop at this age.
Their removal is necessary to insure

FORENSIC CLUB TO MEET.


The Forensic Club, which is the
public speaking class of the recent
night school will meet at the home of
Mrs. Naugle, next Monday evening,

The members of the public speak
ing class of the night school that they
decided to continue meeting every two

The club plans to continue its
course of study along the same lines

The meeting at Mrs. Naugle's home
will be devoted principally to the
study of debates. The next meeting
will be devoted to a debate on the
subject, Resolved, That Chain Store
Systems AS Now Organized and Con-
Quoted Are Undesirable"
The first meeting of the club was
held at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Ira

Der of interesting subjects and future

and very pleasant evening was spent,
after which refreshments were served.

Posture is often a problem which

medical problem in itself.
In short, children may eat fairly

is to have them given a thorough ex-

Old Santa Fe Trail Lures
Treasure Hunters

DODGE CITY, Kan, June IL.
Gold adventures are again travel
ing what is left of the old Santa
Fe trail. They differ from the
1849 variety in mode of transit
and apparatus. These modern
argonauts drive automobiles and
trucks and use divining rods, elec.
trio needles and other sensitive
devices.
These summer visits Of adven-
turers trying to find the gold
caches which tradition says are
hidden along the trail have been
going on for years. So far as is
known no treasure has 0een
found.
A popular treasure story that
has famed the imagination of the
gold seekers has its purported
locale west of here. Soon after
the trail was opened to Santa Fe
a Spanish wagon train with $50
900 in silver was attacked. All
members of the expedition we're
killed except one Mexican, who
cached" the silver in nearby
hill.
