Entered at the postoffice at Winnet- ka, Illinois, as mail matter of the sec- Tae class, under the act of March 3, SATURDAY MAY 27, 1922 HOME TREATMENT ESSENTIALS Treatment of tuberculosis at home is a matter in which there are two essential elements: Ex- pert advice and education on the part of the patient in the necessity of carrying: out advice and in the protection of others from danger of infection through him. The relative importance of the two is debatable. From the point of view of the safety of the patient, the first is most important; from that of the safety of the general pub- lic, the second. The community that sets up a branch of the organization whose purpose is the fighting of tuber- culosis owes it to those who will come under its influence to pro- vide for patients advice which is sound. Confidence of the patient, and the optimism that is a part of the disease, make it doubly nec- essary that there should be no mistake in the laying down of the rules of treatment and the nature of the life that must be led if there is to be recovery from the disease. That is a matter for the whole community to consider. Chiefest among the difficulties in the care of tuberculosis is the conflict that too often arises be- tween the natural love of a moth- er for her children and a proper consideration for their safety from infection through her. It is a hard thing to impress upon a woman suffering from the "plague" that the first element in her love for her children should be a willing- ness to sacrifice her own selfish desire to be near them and to en- joy their presence, to their safety and security of life not shadowed by the almost certainty of the dis- ease if there is indulgence of it. That is a point that should never be missed by the nurse who visits homes in which there are mothers suffering from tuberculosis, a point that should be stressed al- ways in the educational program of the tuberculosis organizations. PROGRESS The Massachusetts Federation of Women's clubs has gone on record in a formal resolution as favoring experimentation on ani- mals in order to forward the pro- gress of science in understanding of the ills to which the human flesh is heir. Such an act taken in the stronghold of prejudice such as exists in New England that what has been in the past ought to continue into the future suggests that the women of the club organ- izations everywhere are advanc- ing from the sentimental into the practical and Massachusetts women are setting a pace with which women's organizations elsewhere may well fall in, for here is a means of establishing public opinion than which there is none more effective or more far reaching. & PENNSYLVANIA'S LESSON Pennsylvania's governor explains the result of the primary election there on the ground that Gifford Pinchot was able to attract the wo- man's vote and that of the various factions that were disgruntled with the party organization. It's a very good explanation and as true as WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MAY 27, anything could be. The point in question is whether the Republican party there will accept the lesson that has been taught and remember that there is this balance to be reckoned with in the future. The growing independence of thought in the electorate has become a factor that must be taken into consideration by political parties in the years to come. The induction of a great mass of new voters into the political body, voters whose tra- ditions are less rigid than those of the old electorate, has developed a new condition. These two elements forbid assurance in the outcome of any election and especially do they make uncertain the machinations of a party organization that are direct- ed by other motives than the seeking of the best good of the general pub- lic. o ng The latest use of the radio is in connection with a course of study adopted by New York University. First we had the little red school- house, then the extension courses, and now education by radio. With learning buzzing through the air about his head the man who fails to improve his mind is slothful indeed. b & CEMENT WORK of all kinds All Work Guaranteed Contracts For lawns and landscape Gardening D.
