sis association just issued, Miss
Chiauhc&y Blackburn, the association's
able'secretary, sums up the big strides
made by the association in the pasl
twelve months. Coming at the time
-r of the drive for the sale of Christmas'Seafe,
the public is given some
facts which should put the Palmetto
state direr' its qiiota of $65,000 with
Httle effort
"TMP selective draft left us," states
Miss Blackburn, " with some definite
facts that we have hitherto lacked
and''opened up for us possibilities oi
attaining some local statistics and using
them to develop health consciousne&,Jin
different communities. Out
xnap shows ovier '900 men in this state
turned' down for tuberculosis, wHc
were, for the most part, ignorant dl
their trouble."
II "Some local boards," the report continues,
"seem not to have turned
down any tuberculosis men, while one
. small town had as many as 17." Bs
?| cooperating with the Red Cross Home
service and the state board, the Tuberculosis
association tried to locate
these men and get in personal touch
wit^L them. Thirty of the men could
not be located, five had died, 20 were
persuaded to take sanitarium treatment
and 75 made no changes. Ovei
100 are under nurses' supervision.
'Lack of accomodation for those affected
is' shown by the state in the
'report that, "sinow'the government has
taken back the tents given the state
for a unit to be placed on the grounds
' ai the state sanitorium, we have losl
oujr chance to get a vocational trainei
in this camp, and we have, nowhere te
put*the rejected men should they Wanl
treatment.
"Home^service workers, community
workers, the tuberculosis nurse of th<
state board and our local workers
white and- colored, are our sole means

"We have planned a suvey, om
part of which is to deal with th<
i
homes of tuberculosis soldiers in om
cojnnty," states Miss Blackburn, whc
adds that the physfeian aiid nurse art
ready. It is pointed out that, witl
this start, it is hoped to next yeai
have a county nurse. "In this pari

5 of our work," concludes the rejected
r soldier problem, "it is appalling to
find so many advanced cases of tu5
berculosis never reported and so
5 many incipients still unconvinced."
? With provision made for a negro
: ward at the state sanitarium, strides
> have been made in the negro work
through the tuberculosis department
) of the state board of health-. "Up to
> this time," the secretary advises, "the
1 only place to put them has been a
small adjunct to the Sumter camp. To
1 help in the collecting: of a maintenance
fund for the new ward, our as!
sociation has offered our colored
worker, Louise Holmes of Florence,
who was engaged in the winter to
help us with educational work among
her own people.'
' The work among the children is an
' interesting part of the year's sumf
'
- mary. It states:
. "This being Children's year, we
. bent every energy tc preventive work
L among them. Our literature, charts
? and talks were followed up by organ'
ized clubs, managed by teachers, with
j the cooperation of parents and our
association, which puts out the mas
terial and keep records for the coni
tests. In a campaign lasting since
I January, in which we were financiali
ly assisted by the Junior Red Cross,
. we have organized over 27,000 child
ren, about one-sixth of our school enrollment.
About 10,000 have promised
. to come in next fall. These clubs, eni
dorsed by the state superintendent of
; education ^re functioning 4 4 couni
ties of the state in spite of the fact
3 that we met with opposition so often
t on account of influenza conditions.
: The most encouraging thing was its
> entrance into Winthrop Training
t school, where so many teachers will
become familiar with the system, me
r Modern Health crusade is a definite
? program of education in hygiene and
, sanitation in the public schools. It
s 5 consists of a series of 11 health
chores to be practiced daily by the
i children in home and school. The
? system of rewards is clever, attVacti
ing by the borrowed language and
> symbols of medieval chivalry. To
i promote competition in scoring on the
l health chores we ran a national tour
nament, known as "The Field of the
t Cloth of Gold," and a state silver tour'hree

Pepto-Mangan Sold in Liquid and
Tablet Form
Why should any girl or young
woman continue to have a pale, sallow;
complexion and a listless, rundown
system devoid of energy and vitality?
'' ' >
Such young folks are continually
unhappy and dejected simply because
they accept such a condition as their
!misfortune, and envy their friends
who are in the bloom, of health and
enjoying all the good things of life.
If such young women would realize
that their anemic condition is
probably due to thin, impoverished
blood, which could easily -be enriched
by Gude's Pepto-Mangan, how
much happier and attractive they
would be.
Gude's Pepto-Mangan. is a safe,
beneficial and pleasant tonic for anyGne
suffering from any ailment caused
by poor blood. If taken regularly
for a few weeks it will enrich the
blood with thousands of the healthy
red-blood cells that are needed to
carry nourishment to every part of
j the body.
Pepto-Mangan is sold in both liquid
and tablet form. Both contain the
same medicinal ingredients.
[- Buy Pep to-Siangan at your druggist's.
Be sure the name "Gude's" is
on the package. Without "Gude's"
it is not Pepto-Mangan.
