She will make her headquarters in the office of the Red Cross, Chamber of Commerce building, and will be here for at least a month, ‘There is a popular belief that tuber- culosis does not exist-in Wyoming, but this is not the case although, due to ‘the scattered population, there is not as much of the disease in this state as in other states. The percentage of deaths from the disease has grown steadily in the past five years. Death records show that 24 people died of tuberculosis in Natrona county in the last five years. Probably all of} these could have been saved had it been possible to give them institutional care. Moreover they could have been taught to care for themselves without infect- ing others around them were there an institution in the state to give sucn training. A recent survey of Park county dis- closed 31 cases of tuberculosis, 16 of which were open cases requiring insti- tutional care and there is no hospital in Wyoming to which they can go. The mistaken ideas which ‘prevail concerning tuberculosis make it par- ticularly difficult to combat the dis- ease, People who are rather proud of having suffered from influenza or ap-| pendicitis cling to the idea that tuber- culosis is inherited, that the person who has it is doomed, and are afraid to ac- knowledge the disease for fear of be- ing treated as though They were lep- rous. In making her survey, Miss Nohr is soliciting the aid of every person in the county. Doctors do not know all the cases, since the disease often takes 2 chronic form which runs on for years, such patients not being under a doc- tor’s care.
