Death Rate Lowered to 69.1 Per 100,000 Persons, Report Shows.
Tuberculosis, the great White Plague of our machine civilization, vearly is losing its hold on Marion County residents, New discoveries of medical sci-
ence, health education programs and beter hospitalization largely are responsible for society's gain over the disease In 1909 there were 2214 deaths per 100.000 population in this county from tuberculosis. Last year the death rate was 69.1.

little effort was made to control it There were 25 beds in the old Flower Mission Hospital for advanced cases, but there were no clinics, no public health nurses and no educational aims. The picture is different today There are seven free tuberculosis clinics employing nine full-time nurses in various parts of the city. City health officials have urged all persons, regarditss of whether they can pay for the services, to have examinations at these clinics if they have been in contact with the disease or suspect they have symptoms.

Many Organizations Help
Joining in this work are hoards of health. ecivie and municipal organizations, schools the Flower Mission Society and the Marion County Tuberculosix Association. Emphasis is being placed also on disease prevention. In addition to |! instructions to public and parochial school children, the tuberculosis association maintains the Julia Jameson Nutrition Camp at Bridgeport Since its opening in 1928. 554 frail children have been cared for there. and not one of that number has died from tuberculosis or any preventable disease, the organization's records show. The camp is expectIMR to care for 100 children next summer. Most of them are taken from sunless homes in the city's industrial districts. All co-operating agencies are directing their efforts to discovering and treating of the disease while the patients still are infected only In the primary stages. Through tuberculin tests of school and other groups, doubtful and early cases can be secregated and treated. Phvsiclans repore such treatment is suecessful if begun at once Ultimate goal of all these groups 1s to make tuberculosis a rare malady
