A resolution favoring the construction of a tuberculosis sanatorium' In

Wayne county was adopted Saturday night at a meeting of the Wayne county council of defense.

The resolution follows: Whereas. A ereat International peril

resulting from the spread and increasing prevalence of tuberculosis1 has

caused the National Council oi ue

fense and the Indiana State Council of

Defense to urge that counties take a more active part in the nation's war

nreoaratlons. and

Whereas, the war is increasing

manyfold the demand for sanatoriums

for the treatment of tuberculosis civu

lana and soldiers, and '

Whereas, there are 3.000.000 active

cases of tuberculosis in the united

States with 3.821 deaths from this disease in Indiana alone last year while the entire state has only 426 beds

available for the treatment of persons

suffering from this curable and pre

ventable disease, and

Whereas, there were fifty-nine deaths from tuberculosis last year in Wayne county and approximately five hundred

living cases at the present time, thereby showing that we, as a county, can perform an effective service for our

citizens and for the country at large

by providing some means for the treat

ment or persons afflicted with tnis disease, and Whereas, the most effective plan for the treatment of tuberculosis and returned soldiers is conceded to be In sanatolums erected by counties or by small groups of counties, and Whereas,Wayne county already has available a beautiful site for a county tuberculosis sanatorium, therefore, Be It Resolved, that the Wayne

County Cauncil of Defense does here

by go on record as favoring the con

struction and completion at the earliest possible moment of a tuberculosis sanatorium for Wayne county, and be It further Resolved, that this body does hereby urge the members of the Board of County Commissioners of this county to take Immediate steps for the purpose of planning immediate ways and means for financing and building the proposed sanatorium, and be it further Resolved, that the members of this

Council and all patriotic citizens be

urged to work for the completion of the plans herein described as a means of making It possible for the aforesaid county to prepare to do its part In meeting the emergency that exists as a result of the increased prevalence of tuberculosis outgrowing from the war. Wayne county has a suitable site for such a sanatorium, the land and farm buildings having been turned over to the county for the purpose. One of these buildings Is suitable for an ad

ministration building, but other struc

tures for hospital use would nave to

be erected. A board of managers has

been appointed to Investigate the matter and it is likely that an appropriation for the establishment of a sanatorium will be made next fall. Death Suddenly Calls
