tuberculosis

Tuberculosis is caused by the tn
bercle bacillus. The disease does not
occur in the absence of tkis organ
ism. Malnutrition, fatigue, dust, p3or
ventilation, poverty and other envi-
~ronmental factors are contributory
in lowering physical resistance; but
in the absence Of the tubercie bacil-
lus these factors canno cause tu-
berculosis. There are four types Of
tubercle bacillus: human, bovine, ayi-
an, piscine, but only the human and
bovine are known to produce tuper-
culosis in man.
The tubercle bacillus Is found in
the discharge from tuberculous le-
sions.
The most common mode Of infec-
ton is by inhalation Of Groplets of
sputum discharged by a case through
coughing, sneezing. or splitting with
out observing sanitary precautions.
Hand-to-mouth and kissing are di-
rect modes of transmission.
There is no known incubation pc
riod, acquiring the disease depends
upon the number and virulence OF
the bacilli entering the body, the age,
physical resistance, and socio-econo-
mic factors. A contact Of an open
case Zone who has a tubercle bacillus
in the sputum) has greater chances
of getting the disease than a person
not so exposed.
No age group, sex, or color Is inn
mune Statistics show that children,
especially under five years old, are
more liable to infection when in
close contact to an open case of
pulmonary tuberculosis. The NOR
tality rate shows higher for Negro
than white, higher for the unskilled
day laborer than for the more priv
LEGGED professional group, and for all
sex and color it is the leaiins cause
of death in ages Is to As, and for
the pregnant woman it Is an add
.ional hazard. No par. of the BODY
is immune to tuberculosis, but the
lungs arc the most freq len. seat
Of the disease.
The symptoms of tuberculosis are:
loss of weight, loss Of strength, fe-
yer, increased pulse rate, Indigestion,
night sweats, cough lasting longer
than three weeks, and expectoration,
hoarseness and huskiness. bloody ex-
pectoration and pain in chest.
The public health nurse should be
familiar with state laws and local
ordinances and rules relating to the
control of tuberculosis. The enforce
ment of these laws depends largely
on educational measures rather than
police force.
An active case needs medical SUI
pervision and every effort should be
made to have both the patient and
contacts consult a physician period,
ically. When an active case is re-
ported to the health department, II
is well for the public health nurse
to visit the physician to discuss the
case with him before going into the
home. This helps bring about a bet
ter understanding, thus securing the
cooperation of the private physician
and the health department.
Tuberculosis is a social problem
and almost every case produces mai
adjustments. Agencies have been es-
tablished to deal with these prob
lens. Usually a disease of the lower
socio-economic group, the major as
poets of the relief problems are: pro
vision for disqualification of the pa
tient; medical care of the family; III
nancial relief for the family while
the breadwinner is i'll; rehabilitation

Insect Traps on Plane
Detect Spread of Pests

By trapping insects high in the

valuable new information on the
habits, and particularly on the

a certain altitude is useful, for ex-

ed many Of the important and

captures Of boil weevAs at 1000 feet,
spotted cucumber beetles at 5000
feet, and leaf-hoppers at attitudes
up to $1,000 feet. Mosquitoes. COM
mon in lower layers, also were
found as high as 5000 feet. The
pink bollworm moth collected,
sometimes more than half a mile
above the surface, showed that it
can spread to our country by nat
ural means. Some small wingless
insects were frequent at very high
attitudes; for example. springtails
and silver fish at from 5000 to II, 900
feet.
The insects were collected in
traps specially designed for use on
airplanes and controlled from the
cockpit or cabin. In practice 1t was
the rule to keep a trap section open

with the plane flying level at that
altitude. then close the section and
mount 500 OF 1000 feet and bag
another sample while holding that

ACCIDENTS
CAN BE STOPPED
Machinery Rated as Chief
Hazard to Safety.
BY J. b. RICHARDSON

Safety on the farm is largely
homemade. One OF the reasons
there III so many accidents on the
farm is that farm families operate
largely on their own responsibility.
For city people at work or at home,
there are numerous safety precau-
tons, and someone to enforce them.
Machinery should be listed as a
top hazard in farm work, despite
the many Improvements made on
machinery in recent years. The
older hazards, such as unruly bulls
and kicking horses, is next.
Surveys show. however, that most
accidents are caused by careless.
ness such as haste, the use of make
shift repairs, by taking chances, by
using machinery without guards, or
with guards removed.
Among the reasons why the farm
is a fertile field for accidents are
these: Much farm work is done by
individuals at some distance from
others so that an accident may be
serious because help is not at hand.
On the farm there are frequent
changes in work and machinery
used, which may mean unfamiliar
ity with equipment and less accu.
racy Of movement. Under the pres.
sure Of summer work, there are
often long hours in the field, and
chores done in a hurry after dark
both conducive to accidents.
The suffering. the loss of time,
and the actual cash cost of these
accidents shows the need for avoid.
ing them. 1t has been shown time
and time again that the well.
ordered farm, with w~ell-ordered &C.
tivities, is good insurance against
accidents.
But still, to a great extent the
farmer must be his own safety en-
gineer and almost entirely his own
disciplinarian.

Without warning, this control was

Public reaction in condemnation
