of hardship. She learned at an
early age the great art Of self
dependence. Also, when jobs were
scarce and wages low she learn
ed early in life to shift for her
self. When the family who knew
not the benefit of modern day
appliances was hard put in the
way of material wealth, she con-
tributed as best she could to the
welfare of all. In so doing she
developed the gift (Which is in
herent in all in a small way) of
charity. She also developed the
greatest of all attributes, that of
honesty. The writer was told more
than once by Charlotte, that her
parents inStilled in all the chill
dren that they owned nothing if
they owed someone else as much
as one nickel. Having learned to
shift for herself in and out of
school, she opened a millinery
shop in Williston which she op-
Grated successfully many years.
In 1917 Charlotte was united
in marriage to Andrew F. Noble
and moved to his ranch near Dore,
North Dakota. Mr.. Noble passed
away in 1925, from which time
Mrs. Charlotte Nohle's thrift and
business experience came into
good s Mr.. Noble, having many
possessions in farms and ranches,
left the business of running these
ranches to Mrs. Noble. 1t is re-
ported to the writer that at one
time she was dealing with 80
renters.
The writer knew Mrs. Noble
personally and found that she was
a supporter of all the good things
for community life, Also, she
always ready to help, from
her store of experience and ma

Is
Not Victory
In Montana's Fight
Against tuberculosis

Too many M%ontanans have
translated the progress in the
fight against tuberculosis into an
unfortunate term: victory" AS
is often the case, much is lost in
the translation.
While there has been much
progress in the detection, treat
ment and rehabilitation of those
suffering from tuberculosis, there
remains much more to be done.
In Montana's fight against tuber-
culosis, progress is not victory
Montanans can take pride in the
progress, but shouldn't confuse
this progress with the end of the
fight against the infectious dis
ease that kills more people every
year than all of the other in
fictitious diseases combined.
Yes, there has been progress.
Just SO years ago TB was the
leading cause of death in the
United States. Today it ranks
18th.
But it remains a threat to the
health of every Montanan.
Last year 282 new cases of tu-
berculosis were reported to the
State Board of Health. Many more
cases remain unknown. The di-
sease claimed the lives of 48
Montanans in 1856.
The u. S. Public Health Ser
vice reports that Montana's tu-
berculosis case rate per 100, 1000
population is the highest in the
Northwest and is higher than the
rates of any neighboring states.
In 1856 there were 1876 cases
of tuberculosis in Montana for
every 100000 population in Mon
tana.
There has been great progress
in the detection and care of tu-
berculosiS. In 1912 tuberculosis
$40 lives in Montana; last
year the death toll from tuber-
culosis was 48. This is a reflec-
ton of the progress in the care
and treatment of TB patients.
A significant factor in this
progress is the changing ratio
If reported cases of tuberculosis
% the number of deaths caused
by tuberculosis. At one time it
vas l to l.. Today care and
treatment have advanced to the
'tage where there are about 81
Eases for every death recorded.
But the number of cases of
tuberculosis reported each year
n Montana continues to make
tuberculosis a significant disease
n the Treasure State. In 1917
here were 270 cases of TB re-
ported to the state health de-
oartment. Thirty-nine years la
.er, in 1856, there were 282 new
Eases of tuberculosis reported in
Montana.
In the first 81 weeks of this
year (1957) the number of new
,aSes of tuberculosis reported in
Montana reflected a 20% increase
'ver the same period of 1856.
So, when someone says 'tu-
'erculosis is licked ask him to
.ook at the record
