By Moi. Ihomas N. Mol

I'd like to have answered this
question from A. M. A.. Buchanan
Mich, but didn't have that much
paper. He asked: could you
please send me any information
you have on CT benefits?"
So I wrote back, briefly men
toned the GI bill, the Veterans
Preference Act, free medical care
for service-connected disabilities,
disqualification for non-service-
connected ailments, and asked him
please to "pinpoint" his next ques-
ton.
I've been writing information on
BI beniflts for more than four
years and still havn't gotten to the
end.
From a veteran in South Caro-
lima: IF a disabled veteran has
to go to prison does he lose his
disability compensation"
He does not.

out automatically and every
World War I veteran who rated
one got it. Don't confuse that
with the National Service Life

paid starting in about three
months.
That must be applied for. Ap-

whats the score on that total
disability income provision in
NSLI?"
That's big order, but here is
the gist Of it: Any holder of NSLI
may take out total disability
coverage, provided he can pass a
physical exam. Then after he
becomes totally disabled for at
least six continuous months he gets
paid at the rate of IS a month for
every thousand dollars Of insurance
he has.
The cost Of taking out this added
coverage is small but rises with
the age Of the insured. That is,
the extra premium for veteran
25 years old is less than that for
a veteran IS years old, but the
premium stays the same once the
protection is bought.
It is effective only until the in
sured reaches age so, unless he
has become totally disabled be-
fore that time. Thus, If total dis
ability starts at age SO. payments
can continue as long as the total
disability continues. But II it
hasn't set in at age so, the insured
can never collect.

total disability, when payments

TUBERCULOSIS
BY S. v. LEWIS, M. D.

tuberculosis is a contagious dis
eaes and has been with us since
prehistoric days. 1t is found among
all civilizations. No savage race
of people have been known to have
the disease until carried to them by
the civilized world. Tuberculosis is
strictly a disease Of civilization,
and perhaps penalty for living in
houses. For centuries the cause Of
tuberculosis was not known, in the
year 1882 the renowned bacteriol-
ogist, Kotch, isolated tubercule ba-
cilius and proved it was the cause
of the disease. Since we know that
the tubercle bacillus is the cause of
tuberculosis, we ask ourselves in
what ways we get the disease, and
what part, or parts Of the body may
be involved. 1t is spread from those
sick with the disease, to healthy
persons, and in many ways, par
ticularly through germ laden drop
lets of sputum or other moisture
from the lungs of person with tu-
berculosis. These very fine drop
lets of moisture may be sprayed in
to the air by Coughing, sneezing,
splitting, or forcible laughing or
talking, unless the nose and mouth
are first covered with a handker-
chief or some other item. The dis
ease may be spread by tuberculosis
case kissing a person that does not
have the disease.
The germs may enter the body
through the common use of such
things as water. glasses and other
drinking utensils, dishes, eating
utensils, towels, bed linens and
many other domestic items. Dust
containing the germs may be
breathed into the lungs, therefore
the danger of splitting on the
ground or floor, because a crawl
ing child may get the germs on the
fingers, and on toys, and carry
them to the mouth. Non-pasteuriz;-
ed milk coming from cows with tu-
berculosis will cause the disease.
Sleeping in the room or in the same
bed with a person having the dis
ease is dangerous practice.
Under no condition should we'll
persons use the same eating and
drinking utensils used by person
having the disease. Nxither should
a person with the disease prepare
food and drink for well persons.
The lungs. are most often effect
ed with tuberculosis, but any part
may be involved, the glands, in
testinal tract, the bones, the Kid
neys, the skin or any part of the
body. Beginning tuberculosis is
very mild, we may have the
disease for months without know
ing it. There may not be any pain,
cough hemmorhage or anything to
indicate sickness until the disease
is far advanced, and considerable
damage is done. However there are
a number of symptoms that should
be looked upon with unrelenting
suspicion, those are, loss of weight,
loss of energy, that tired rundown
feeling, especially toward the end
of the day, poor appetite, indiges-
ton, normal or below normal
temperature in the morning and 80
or above in the late afternoon Or
evening.
A cough lasting more than two
or three weeks, any amount of
hemorrhage from the lungs, any
pain in the chest made worse by
Marion progress., 1949-12-22

deep breathing and persisting fol
more than a day or two. Any per.
son living with, or associating with
a person having infectious tuber-
culosis is in constant danger OF
! having the disease. No age group is
immune, nor without danger OF
having tuberculosis, however, most
! of the cases occur in persons un-
der IS years of age. More die be-
tween the age Of Is and IS than
IN any other age group.
Finding tuberculosis in it's early
stages is no longer such a difficult
problem. Regular physical check
ups by the family doctor and year
!! ly x-Ray or microscopic examina-
tions of the chest will reveal early
cases of the disease. In known ex-
posures to a case of infectious tu-
berculosis it may be necessary to
have more frequent examinations
until it is certain the danger is
past from such known exposures.
1t may be difficult to find early
tuberculosis in a child from one to
ten years of age by physical ex-
animation alone, but the aid of
the x-ray makes it readily appar-
ent.
There is little difficulty in max
ing a diagnosis of advanced tuber-
culosis, but at the disease progress
ses the chance for recovery les
sens. Prompt and satisfactory re-
covery from tuberculosis depends
on finding the cases early, with i'm
mediate disqualification if possible.
The prevention of tuberculosis de-
pends on avoiding infectious cases
of the disease, by so doing we les
sen the chances of getting the germ
in the first place. Other items of
preventing are, good sanitary hab-
i it's, good personal hygiene, proper
foods, proper rest and exercise, i'm
proved housing conditions, avoid vi
tiated and dust contaminated air.
The tuberculosis bacillus deserves
tremendous respect, it has been a
foe to the human race since pre-
historic days, and has killed more
people than have died in all con-
flicts of war.
This very small bug has tenac-
iously held on to life throughout
the centuries in spite of all the eff
forts of man to destroy it. 1t is
easily destroyed outside the body
if we are aware of it's location.
Milk from cows having tuberculosis
may contain the germ, and the tu-
berculosis bacillus is the hardest
germ to kill that may be found a.
mong the disease producing germs
found in milk, even so, a tempera-
ture of 145 degrees farenheit for
seconds will kill the germ. No drug
has yet been found that will kill
the germ inside the body. Strepto-
mycin makes no such claim, but it
loes produce a condition in some
cases, that suppress and discourage
the development and growth of the
germ.
The seriousness of a disease is
usually based upon the percentage
of people it kills, and the the rapid
ity with which it causes death. The
more rapid the death after onset
of a disease, the greater is the
dread of having such a disease,
natural attitude that most of US
cultivate, not bad attitude either.
Rabies is one disease that always
causes death within ten days, there
is no cure for the disease after it
develops. The person with untreat-
ed tuberculosis is just as sure to
die of the disease, perhaps not as
quickly as from rabies, but if the
pleasure of living, and normal asso-

Terrier Watches Over
Dead Mistress BodV

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 20. CA
NP)-Mrs. Eva Smith, a 65-year-
old state relief recipient was
found dead in her home by po-
lice last week. Standing guard
over the body was a snarling,
starving Kerry-blue terrier.
Neighbors notified police that
Mrs. Smith had not been seen and
they thought something must be
wrong because they heard her dog,
Spider, bowling. Neighbors also
told police that Mrs. Smith was
never see in the neighborhood
without her pet. Police said the
woman had been dead about six
days.
Charles Kramer went to the
house after hearing the bowls of
the dog. and tried the doors,
found them locked, then peered
through the windows. Kramer
said he could not see nor hear
anything but Spiders cries, and
called the police.
When Patrolman Howard Sla-
ter and Clinton Warren had
forced the door open, the dog
dashed at them with barred fangs.
They retreated and returned with
a bone. The dog took the bone
but dropped it each time the Off
GERS tried to approach the room
where the body was.
One patrolman purchased some
hamburger and threw it to the
dog. The officers then entered the
dining room where they found
the body of the woman on the
floor.

Civil Rights Tie In With

YIN, FCU. 20. Va
NP)-A proposal to tie in civil
rights a clause to the new labor
legislation which would prevent
labor unions from barring work
ers because of race or religion was
injected into the senate labor COM
mittee hearing last Wednesday.
The proposal was advanced by
Edgar G. Brown, director of the
National Negro council and Elmer
w. Henderson, head of the Ameri-
can Council on Human rights.
Both Brown and Henderson ap-
pealed for the inclusion of the
clause, but did not concur alto
gether with each others views.
Brown testified that II AFL un-
ions require their members to be
white, but that William Green,
AFL president, had told him he
had "no objection to the proposed
amendment"
However, Brown said a fair
employment practice commission
provision should also be written
in the new labor legislation. Hen
derson objected to this, as did
Sen. Hubert Humphrey 3D.,
MIMI, who was largely response
BILE for drafting the civil rights
plank in the 1948 Democratic
platform.
Outright opposition to the in
clusion of a civil rights provision
in the measure was registered by
Sen. Ebert D. Thomas 3D., Utah)
committee chairman. He said he
hoped the labor bill would get to
the senate floor as is and that it
would not become involved in the
civil rights controversy.
. Sen. Taft, (R., Ohio), co-au-
thor of the Taft-Hartley law, said
the new legislation would have his
support and that of the Republi-
can policy committee. He said the
closed shop ban in the present law
was designed, among other things,
to prevent unions from discrimi-
mating against racial m~inorities.
Henderson, however, disagreed
and pointed out that recent NLRB
rulings showed the board had not
interpreted it in this way. He
urged the repeal of the TIL law
and substitution of a law which
would prohibit NLRB certification
of a union refusing membership
because of race or religion and
also ban the closed shop in cases
where unions refuse membership
on racial or religious grounds or
segregate Negroes into voteless
'auxiliary locals"
