Why the Decrease in Tuber
culosis Death Rate?
The remarkable decrease in the
death rate from tuberculosis is a
matter of interest not only to the
medical fraternity but to the laity.
In the last fifty years there has been
a fall of 77.9 per cent in tubercu
losis death rate in New York City; in
the last eleven years a fall of 51 per
cent, and in the calendar year of
1921, a fall of 18.1 per cent. It is
most important that the causes re
sponsible for such a phenomenon
should be discovered in order that
health authorities and physicians may
know how to combat the dread dis
ease.
Dr. Haven Emerson, former Health
Commissioner of New York City, .
and now professor in Cornell Medical ]
School, New York, writing in the ?
American Review of Tuberculosis of ,
Baltimore, (June, 1922) seems in- <
dined, in considering all the factors j
involved in this beneficent change, j
to lay most stress on the improved
financial and living conditions of the
poor including with this, decreased j
alcoholism and the lessened expend?- (
tura for alcohol. He says that it is ^
probably not too much to say that (
in the next twenty-five years as great ^
a percentage of reduction in tuber- ,
culosis can be attained as has been
accomplished in the last fifty years, ?
by adding to our methods and re
sources those which will build up
bodily resistance by providing for
and following a higher standard of i
living, and those which will diminish (
the hazards of occupation and. of oe- s
cupancy.

Kathleen Norris, Noted Wril
er, Pleads for Enforce
ment of 18th Amend-me
ment of the 18ht
Amendment*
In Kathlen Norris, recognized a
one of the most popular writers o
fiction in the United States, the prc
hibition cause has an eloquent chan
pion. She has enlisted heart and soi
in the campaigns in California to st
cure the passage of the state-wide er
forcement measure. She is speakin
to large audiences, and everywher
her messages call forth enthusiast
approval. Her success is so marke
that the anti-prohibition newspaper
are devoting editorial space to ridi
cule and condemnation of her ef
forts, the highest compliment tha
can be paid to her endeavors.
In speaking before a large com
pany of women recently she said:
"I don't speak often. When I d<
make a speech I feel that I can bi
forgiven on the same grounds tha
the woman in the Bible was forgive]
-because I love much. Today I an
standing here because I love m:
country and because after a goo<
many years of hard word, poverty
discouragement, illness-all the bus
iness of wifehood, motherhood, home
keeping-because now in these year,
I have a little freedom, and like manj
of the rest of you I have thought t<
myself, especially in my prayers, tha'
I should be glad before I died t<
hand on to other women some little
share of what love of country anc
love of God mean to me as a woman
We are all apt to look back into his
tory and feel that in any of the greal
crises we could have shone brilliantly
We could have handled the work oi
Florence Nightingale-we could have
been a noble Joan of Arc-but ii
seems to me today that as citizens we
are facing an issue as great as any
that the world has ever known."
The outstanding thought that Mrs.
Norris drives home in her addresses
is that the women must come to the
rescue in this crucial time, and help
to hold the law that has done so
much to protect their homes and
children. Her plea is to the mothers
to live up to their responsibilities as
loyal citizens in going to the polls
and casting their ballots for the en
forcement of the prohibition law, and
to use their influence with other
mothers, and with their husbands and
brothers and friends to work and
vote :!or men favorable to the 18th
Amendment. One of her unique ap
peals to the patriotism of her audi
ences is made in these words:
"If anyone would be willing to
tear down an American flag and wrap
it around a garbage can, then he may
consistently sneer at the non-enforce
ment of the 18th Amendment, but
American patriots must not permit
themselves. to miss this opportunity
for a patriotism fully as great as.
that offered by service at the front
in the World War."
