A city that grows only in population and business is not growing at all—it is only swelling up. . TUESDAY, MAY 3, 1921 The great White Plague, commonly known as tubercu- losis, is being fought more successfully than in past years, but it still continues to take its enormous toll of precious human lives. . z Ten years ago the mortality reports of 100 leading cities showed that 45 per cent of all deaths were due to pneumonia and tuberculosis. These are kindred diseases, and many sufferers from pneumonia survive only to develop an active case*of tuberculosis. Both are germ diseases. In tuberculosis, infection resuits from germ-laden dust, drinking cups, or through personal contact. 3 . Investigations to determine the life of the tubercle bacilli have shown that the dust in +he bedding and carpets of people who had died ten to twenty years previously, con- tained these germs. The book, “Dust and Its Dangers,’ by Dr. T. A. Prudden of New York, is authority for the statement that an adult consumptive walking on the streets will expectorate a billion germs every day. These germs are mixed with the dust, they are tracked into the home on shoes, where they find lodg- ment in the rugs. become infected. People breathe the dust laden air and At the present death rate'from tuberculosis and pneu- monia, 20,000,000 people living today are doomed to die of these diseases unless absolute cleanliness is established in our seen towns. The best way to combat there diseases is to eliminate the causes of infection. One of the greatest instruments of war against the great White Plague is the Cleanup and Painiup Campaign. Among the results of this campaign are the enfércement of the anti-spitting ordinance, the erection of sanitary drinking fountains, the thorough cleaning of streets and alleys, and the popularization of washable, germproof surfaces through the cleaning and painting inside and outside of homes, schools and all other buildings in whicn people live and work. The National Tuberculosis Association declares “the easiest way to get rid of the germs that have nested in your house and around your premises is to clean up and paint up.” © Tuberculosis, or “consumption,” as it is ularly known, can be prevented, and in its early ae 4 t stages it can be cured, but we can effectively stamp out this disease -by securing and | maintaining thorough cleanliness and sanitation, such as is invariably accomplished by a thorough Cleanup and Paintup Campaign.
