Tuberculosis Foe Of
Youth

Tuberculosis is not only the Foe
OF Youth" in Maryland but IL also
the killer OF children, it was revealed
today by william B. Matthews,
Managing Director OF the Maryland
tuberculosis Association, as he re-
qrested everyone to make returns
for their Christmas Seals.
According to the Bureau Of Cen.
sus, washington, d. c., tuberculo-
sis is, in Maryland, the leading cause
OF death between the ages Of 5 and
as, and between the ages of / and
it is the second leading cause, top
ped only by pneumonia. After the
age of As and, until "a, the white
plague drops to fifth plce.
"The report is broken down into
age groups as follows: IA years,
5-14, 1924, 25-44, and 1864. In
all these groups tuberculosis leads
with the exception of IA, where 1t
is in second place, and 1854, where
it is fifth.
"These figures, along with other
recent surveys show that tubercu-
losis, in Maryland, is far from under
control, Mr.. Matthews said. Not only
does Baltimore city have the highest
death rate of the ten largest cities
in the United States, but Maryland is
topped only by Tennessee and Ari-
IONA.
Tuberculosis is not inherited, 1t
is an infectious and communicable
disease and, it is therefore necessary
to find the cases and cure them, SO
that the infection will not be spread
to others.
1.-THE funds derived from Christ
mas Seals are used, in Maryland, to
combat and stamp out the disease
through clinics, tuberculin testing,
x-rays, medical research, health edu-
cation and the Miracle House.
1.-THE Miracle House, a prevention
ium, owned and operated by the AS
ISOLATION, is charging its program
to take care of girls between the
ages of Is to rs, at which age period
one out OF every three deaths is due
to tuberculosis. During the summer
months the Miracle House will still
take care of over 100 children, COM
batting the disease in this age group
where it is also the leading cause OF
death.
"To continue this modern pro-
gram it is imperative that everyone
cooperate by making remittance fol
Christmas Seals, the sole support OF
the Associations program" Mr.
Matthews concluded.
1t was also pointed out that the
death rate for the United States was
46.S, while that of Maryland is 72.1

DENTAL CARE AND GENERAL
HEALTH

Don't let your child suffer from
toothache and lose time from school
because Of neglect on your part" is
the advice Of DR.. Richard G. Leonard,
Chief of the Bureau of Oral Hygiene
of the Maryland State Department
of Health, to mothers of growing
girls and boys.
Aching teeth and absence from
school should be avoided as mat
ter of course, he continued, "but
what is even more serious is that
the child's general health is likely to
be endangered il his teeth are ne
elected. Regular dental care will help
to maintain the general health.
Dental care does not mean merely
going regularly to the dentist. Such
visits are a part of program OF
dental care--an important part. If
visited often and regularly. the fam
lily dentist can detect tooth defects
when they are very tiny and correct
them, not only with little difficulty
but, with greater certainty of pre-
F0uttuS JuS TocuTlSuCS VI lie lTOuUlS.
But there should also be person
al dental care. That is, the mouth
should be kept clean by thorough
painstaking brushing at least twice
daily. Clean teeth are not guaranteed
against decay but there is much less
chance of clean teeth decaying.
Another part Of personal dental
care involves the diet. During the
formative period of the teeth the
body must be regularly supplied with
tooth building foods. Once the teeth
are formed, good, well rounded
diet will help to maintain both gem
eral and dental health. Such a diet
includes liberal supply Of milk and
other dairy products, plenty of fruit,
vegetables and eggs.
Eat wisely, cleanse the teeth
thoroughly and visit your family
dentist regularly.
''Such q program is dental health
insurance"

INSURANCE CLINICS

The Insurance Clinics" inaugu-
rated by the Maryland Insurance
Department have received national
recognition from insurance men and
departments generally. In recent
issue of the Chicago Journal Of Com
merce, Mr.. A l.. Kirkpatrick, who
conducts a column Of Insurance
Comments, had the following to say
about the advisory work being done
| in Maryland:
$50 many thousands of insurance
policyholders have taken advantage
of the insurance clinics through
which the Maryland Insurance De-
partment has offered expert advice
on all insurance matters, that the
next years budget will carry an item
for extending the service to dozen
population centers of the state on q
regular basis.
"An experimental station was set
up earlier this year in Cumberland
where service similar to that avail
able at the departments Baltimore
office was made available to the pub
lie.
early sessions were crowded with
assureds seeking advice and even
after the frequency Of the clinics
was increased the steady flow Of in
quiries proved continuing need for
the service.
Information for a befuddled and
worried public has not been the only
good result Of the clinics, accord
ing to John B. Centrum, Maryland's
Insurance Commissioner. The De-
partment has been able to analyze
the inquiries and obtain an accurate
cross section of the insurance buy
er's problems.
Activities of counselors and twist
ers, it was found, had shaken the
confidence Of some policyholders in
insurance agents and companies, but
they retained trust in state officials.
''They brought in their policies
and they repeated the statements Of
the advisors, asking for correct ap-
praisal. Mr.. Centrum believes that
most of the citizens who have made
use Of the service have found it sat-
isfactory.
Insurance agents of Cumberland
have been delighted to have the
state interest itself in their clients.
They proposed establishment of the
clinic and they have been mainly in
strumental through advertising and
other promotion in spreading infor-
nation about the clinics.
but there has been q by-product
that no one expected. Complaints Of
policyholders have revealed instanc-
es of less tina inadequate service by
companies and agents; sometimes
indifference and sometimes careless
ness.
When attention Of company exc
cutives has been called to faults Of
thei representatives, the reaction
has been immediate and adequate.
Commissioner Centrum said no oc-
cassion had been found to make q
second complaint about the work Of
any man.
IF the budget increase Is granted.
q regular schedule Of visits will be
established which will take depart
ment will be watched with interest
in the state where facilities can be
made available.
The second stage OF this expert
ment will be watched withinterest
by commissioners, by companies and
by agents. The insurance clinics may
prove to be an important link In
public insurance education effort
