G Paul cIl city health commissioner last night Salt L Lake ke has tho the lowest death rate from the white plague of or any city of oC Its size In the country countr said Dr Paul but If c care re is not tal taken cn the rate will advance Instead of f decreasing as It should I 1 have ha asked alrea already for two nurses for fer the tho emergency hospital said Dr Paul but these have not been allowed so I intend to ask again for fOl them My 1 plan is to havo have the two on dut duty In the emergency hospital It Is absolutely absolute necessary to have two there In order to have an emergency service But with two women we could have one in char charge o during th day and tho the other could look after tuberculosis cases eases during luring tho the da day and then be on duty in inthe tho the hospital at night Both would be required to sleep Bleep In the hospital and be available If needed B By this plan the hospital always alwa's would be protected and at the same time timo there would be time for the nurses 01 or one of oC them to visit sIt and look 1001 after tuberculosis patients As the matter stands n now wo we do dc the best bost we can an anthe and the nurses we wo have to look after the schools sometimes hear of oC these cases On One of or them devotes some of at her time timeto to the work but we wo cannot spare her from the tho school work without crIppling crippling crippling crip crIp- pling that department People must be careful In years when this country was youn younger er there was seldom if ever a case of a person born and living in Utah who had tuberculosis but that has changed There aro are natives here afflicted now and unless tho the people o of Salt Lake an and Utah are active with preventive measures measures meas incas ures liros we wo will vill have conditions similar to these existing in the eastern states I think the time big work against the spread of tuberculosis should b bo be done b by the state but wo we shall do the best belt we can One Ono big trouble is that there is no place provided where here we can care for patients pa pa- and the people of oC Utah must awake to tho the situation and do something something some some- thing before this thin disease becomes prevalent prevalent prey prey- alent here I |
