Tuberculosis la Tbe Wake of loflueoja
Harrisburg, December 2
Thousands of Pennsylvania cit
izens who have suffered a t
tacks of Influenza during the
recent epidemic , are in grave
danger of contracting tubercu
losis. According to officials of
the State Department of Health
this grave fact is being estab
lished daily by reports received
by reports received by the Health
Department from ita chain of
Tuberculoeis Dispensaries loca
ted througout the State where
applications for examination are
now being received in larger
numbers than ever before.
Concerning this serious health
problem now facing the State
and country at large, Dr. B.
Franklin Royer, Acting Com
missioner of Health, made the
following statement today:
"It is generally recognized
that almost everybody has at
some time or other been infected
with tuberculosis. Most of us
build up a resistance to the dis
ease and remain immune to its
further ravages unless some
unusual condition greatly lowers
resistance to the tubercle bacil
lus. "Thousands of persons have
recently had severe pneumonic
infection. These persons have
in many cases had their resist
ance to the tubercle bacillus so
lowered that there is grave
danger of rapid extension of
tuberculosis in any of its forms.
Persons recovering from i n -fluenza
who are convalescing
slowly, or dragging around, and
are easily fatigued, and those
who have lingering coughs or
who show loss of. weight, fever,
or sweats, should immediately
consult their family-physician
and insist upon a complete ex
amination to determine if any
evidence of tuberculosis may be
found. Persons in this condi
tion are unfit to work. They
should live in the open air as
much as possible, should have
food to the limit of digestion and
should Bleep in the open air.
"Prompt recognition of tuber
culosis with adoption of a few
intensive changes in one's life
for a few months will unusually
result in checking its progress
and bring about cure.
"Every citizen of the Com
monwealth unable to pay for
physical examination, may now
be examined free of cost at the
tuberculosis dispensary of the
State Department of Health.
These dispensaries have all been
reopened since the influenza
epidemic ha3 passed and are
now available for careful exam
ination, for treatment and for
the filing of applications for ad
mission to the three State Sana
toria. It i.s altogether probable
that these dispensaries will be
called upon to do more work
during the coming winter months
than ever has been thrown up
on them since they were created
in 1917."

An International Service Built
on Tiny Profits Per Pound
Some industries have been able to get 'in
step with war demands more quickly than
others.
In many cases mighty plants have sprung
up but at a prodigious cost.
The packing industry was able to adapt
itself to unheard of demands more quickly,
perhaps, than any other industry. And this
was because the vast equipment of packing
plants, refrigerator cars, branch houses, etc.,
had been gradually developed to its present
state of efficiency, so that in the crucial hour
it became a mighty international system for
war service.
And how had this development taken place?
Not by making vast inroads into the capi
tal wealth of the country, but largely by using,
from year to year, a portion of the profits, to
provide for expansion.
Swift & Company's profits hav always been so
tiny, compared with sales, tht they have had practic
ally no effect on the price of meat (amounting to only
a fraction of a cent per pound).
And yet the owners of the business have been
content with reasonable returns on their capital, and
have been able, year after year, to put part of the
profits back into the business to provide for its
expansion.
These fractions of tiny profits have been repaid to
to the public many fold in the form of better service,
and better and cheaper meat, and made it possible for
Swift & Company to meet, undaunted, the . sudden
cry for meat for overseas.
Could any other method of financing a vital
industry involve less hardship to the people of the
country? Could there be a better instance of true
"profit-sharing" than this return in added usefulness
and in national preparedness ?
