Plan Chest Clinics
For Fall and Winter

Chest clinics for the examination of
persons suspected of having tubercu-
losis or who have been in contact with
the disease are held in all of the
counties of Maryland, monthly, or
oftener. The clinics are conducted
under the joint auspices of the State
Health Department and the State
tuberculosis Association and are
made possible through the sale of the
Christmas seals. The schedule in each
county and all other local arrange
ments are planned and carried out
under the direction of the County
Health Officer.
In calling attention to the arrange
ments for the fall and winter clinics
for l942-1943, DR.. R. H. Riley, Direc-
tor of the State Health Department,
said that in view of transportation
difficulties, particular care had been
taken to select centers that are as
readily accessible as possible.
AS usual, the examinations at the
clinics will be conducted by clinicians
from the State Sanatoria, by the
County Health Officers, or by other
physicians with special experience in
this field. Portable X-ray machines
are included in the equipment of all
of the clinics making it possible to
have x-ray pictures taken immedi-l
ately in connection with the general
examination.
A special effort is made at all of
the clinics, DR.. Riley said, to find the
early cases, in which the disease is
Just beginning, and when the posi-
bilities of arresting the disease or of
bringing it under complete control,
are most favorable.
The necessary treatment is advised
for each individual on the basis of the
examination and the X-ray pictures.
Sanatorium care is recommended for
those for whom it is advisable and
care at home under medical or nurs-
ing supervision, for others, In con-
nection with the clinic services, the
public health nurses paid over 1000
visits to the homes of the patients in
1941.
There were 352 clinics held in 1871
which were attended by over 1000
patients, 500 of whom were admitted
to Tuberculosis Sanatoria for treat
ment. The clinics reached every sec
ton Of the counties at least once, and
in some instances return visits were
made. The patients were referred by
their own physicians or were discov-
cred by the County Health Officers
and public health nurses in connection
with various other services. Other
cases were found in the examination
of selectees for Federal services.
In spite of the difficulties of trans
portation, there has been consider
able increase in the attendance at the
clinics during the current year, DR.,
Riley said, amounting to from twenty /
to twenty-five per cent of the total
attendance.
Information with regard to places /
and dates for the clinics in each coun- .
ty can be obtained from the County
Health Officer. There is no charge for
the clinic services.

HERE is a hooked hearth rug
- that may some day grow up
to room size. So far every female
member of the family has hooked
at least one square, and the males
are all represented by materials
from cast-off suits, socks and
sweaters. The turquoise flowers
and red cherries in the alternate
squares are from dyed pieces of
the old cream colored wool blan-
kets. When the squares are
hemmed and sewn together with
strong carpet thread, they form
fascinating pattern of circles, flow
ers and fruit.
Twelve-incn squares of burlap
overcast around the edge made
the foundation pieces. Patterns
for the repeat design were cut
from paper and the burlap was
marked by drawing around these
with wax crayon. Loops of fabric
strips were drawn through with a
steel rug hook. Red was used for
the curved lines shown at the up
per left. Tones of brown for the
flower and gray for the cherry
background. Mixed colors for the
rest of the design.
NOTE: Mrs. Spears has prepared a
special pattern for the rug in today's
sketch with detailed directions for begin
ners. So, even if you have never made
hooked rug, you can start now making
squares for a rug of any size you wish.

Treat Constipation
This Gentler Way!

Many folks say that almost as
bad as constipation are harsh
cathartics and purges. That's
because many medicinal laxa-
tives work this way: they either
prod the inteStineS into action
or draw moisture into them from
other parts Of the body.
Now comes news of gentler
and pleasanter way Of treating
constipation, for the millions Of
people with normal intestines
whose trouble is due to lack Of
bulk" in the diet. This way is by
eating KELLOGG'S ALL-BRAN,
q crisp, delicious cereal, and
drinking plenty of water.
ALL-BRAN, unlike many medici-
nal laxatives, acts principally on
the contents of the colon and
helps you to have easy, normal
elimination. ALL-BRAN is made
by Kellogg's in Battle Greek. II
your condition is not helped by
this simple treatment, better see
| your doctor.
