Disease Caused By
Careless srown-Ups
With Lung Ailments
in Grave Danger of Infection Local Anti-League
Says Fuller Application Of knowledge Needed

Babies do not inherit" tubercu-
losis, according to. officials of
the Waterbury Anti Tuberculosis
league. They are however, suscep-
tible to the disease in. equal degree
to adults.
There is nothing new in the
treatment, care and prevention of
tuberculosis in very young chill
dren, says a league official.
I'VE need. not new measures.
but q fuller application. of our
present knowledge. Tuberculosis in
children is caused by grown-ups
who have lung tuberculosis cough
and spit out these germs. Children
living in homes where a careless
adul: has the disease are in very
grave danger of infection.
take the case Of little Jimmy,
now less than three years old. A
grown UP relative who had tuber-
culosis went to live in Jimmy's
home during the three months she
had to wait for place at the san
atorium. She was devoted to Jim
myths almost constant COM
panion
To-day Jimmy is a desperately
sick boy and is. himself, on the
sanatorium waiting list.
Children and babies should be
keput away from tuberculosis
case. All children and babies who
have been exposed to the disease
should have the benefit of the tu-
berculin test andx-ray Of chest /:
and they should be carefully
watched by physician for several
years."
Danger In Development
The danger lies in the insidicus
development of the disease. No
two cases are exactly alike, but, In
general, it may be described some
what as follows:
At an early age, quantities Of
tubercule bacilli enter the lung. At
once. the body cells begin to sur
round the germs, finally succeed
in building wall or capsule
around the. tubercule bacilli and
so imprison them. This is called
a "tubercle."
The first protective response OF
the body cells. is however. slow
too slow in some cases, unfortu-
nately, to prevent some Of the tu-
bercle bacilli from escaping from
the first tubercle and spreading to
other parts of the body.
Natures Defense
AS a result of this first clash OF
the enemy with the young body, q
new defense is developed which is
very wonderful and very useful
The entire body becomes sensitive
to tubercle bacilli. 1t is as II the
body cells had become more alert
or "quickened" against the germs
once the cells had discovered how
dangerous the germs are. Thus
most people grow up coping sue
cessf1lly with repeated small doses
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-05-28

Of the germ; they gradually be-
come infected but never develop
the disease.
So long as the body maintains
the upper hand, all Is well. But
when, at any time. the germs null
tiply too fast, the body becomes
sicls-with the disease. tuberculosis
1t Is again emphasized that pre-
caution against infection cannot
begin too early. Babies should be
carefully guarded against contact
with the disease. Only in this way
can its development be actually
prevented.

Traffic Victims Mother
Criticizes Police

To the Editor of The Times:
In a recent issue of The Times
I read story to the effect that shop
lifting has become so prevalent
that a judge gave a 270day
sentence to one man and a 60-day
term to another.
How about automobile accidents.
They seem to be an everyday &C.
currence and yet little is done
about them.
On November S, 1884, two boys
were walking on state road in
Prince Georges county and struck
by a car. Both were injured
fatally. Two county police arrived
at the scene, but made no arrests.
They told the car driver to go
home.
Fourteen hours later one of the
officers went to the drivers home
and tested the automobile. In
those IA hours that car could have
been overhauled. There were
three witnesses to the accident,
but the grand jury did not indict,
just because two policemen failed
to do their duty. Does the public
have to tolerate such occurrences?

to be developed along the lines
Of the Tennessee Valley project,
was laid before the Rivers and
Harbors Congress Project Com.
mittee here today by Representa-.
tive Hubert Utterback CD, Of

Through construction Of a dam

back said, the waters of the Des
Moines River could be made to
form q great lake extending al
most to Fort Dodge, about 50

mile and q half wide and would
have q shore line Of about 200
miles.
The advantages Of the water
power development would be cal
culated in Every large sums" the
Representative asserted. He added
"This undoubtedly would at
tract industrial plants to cen.
trail Iowa and would make 1t
possible for the State to become
a great industrial center, en-
ploying hundreds Of thousands
Of men, increasing the pOpula-
ton of our cities and providing
better markets for our agricul-
tural and dairy products"
Water supplies for all cities in
the area would be assured, Mr.,
Utterback stated, as well as a
means Of assisting in flood control
for the lower Mississippi River.
In addition, with the completion
Of the project, Mr.. Utterback en-.
visions the creation of a recrea.
