taken by any organization of Jewish
women. We feel very optimistic of
success, for our past achievements
present an undeniable record of
genuine service to the women and
children of America, particularly to
those who are of foreign bith, and
our plans for the future, we believe,
show comprehension of the nation's
needs.
Our first appeal for funds is for
a very modest sum in these days of
huge drives of seven and eight
figures. We have purposely kept it
small, even though we have every
reason to request many times more
of the people of this country. We
have tried to get along without the
necessity of making a drive for
funds, but have devoted our energies
to worthy public campaign—Liberty
Loans, Red Cross, Thrift Stamps,
United War Work, Y. W. C. A.—
have aided every drive for the com-
munity's good. We have done for
them as we would now be done by.
A literal application of the golden
rule is going to make our drive a
success.
"Although our work Is essentially
women's work, and our membership
includes thirty thousand representa-
tire American Jewish Women, we
feel certain that this drive will tiring
its the support of men as well as
women, of all faiths."
Mrs. Kohut also announced that
forty sections of the Council have al-
ready organized committees and are
ready to co-operate in the drive. Re-
ets have been received from these
and other sections, expressing their
readiness to co-operate and to se-
cure one hander per cent subscrip-
tions in their cities: Altoona, Pa.,
Fall River, Mass., Fort Wayne, Ind.,
Louisville, Ky., Paterson, N. J.,
Johnstown, Pa., New York City,
Washington, D. C., Alexandria, Va.,
Chicago, Ill., Houston, Tex., Los
Angeles, Cal., New Haven, Conn.,
Selina, Ala. and Utica, N. Y., are
among the large sections which are
already organized for the campaign.

New York.—Mrs. Woodrow Wilson
has endorsed the National Campaign
now being conducted, ending on
April 28th by the National Council
of Jewish \\Tomei) to raise at least
$150,000 to carry on its Americaniza-
tion and women's welfare work, ac-
cording to an announcement made to-
day at the headquarters of the cam-
paign, 111 East 42nd Street by Mrs.
Alexander Kohut, National Chair
man. Mrs. Kohut also made public
a letter which she has just received
from the White House in which the
first lady of the land gave her ap-
proval to the work of the organiza-
tion, whose campaign is the first wo-
nkn's drive for Americanization and
immigrant aid work and the first
Jewish Women's Campaign ever con-
ducted in the country.
In her letter to Mrs. Kohut, Mrs.
Nilson wrote:
"I have read with real interest
your kind letter of March ninth and
I am sincerely glad to avail myself of
the opportunity you afford me to
show my interest in the work of the
Council of Jewish Women. I hope
that the work may prosper in every
way"
"Cordially and sincerely your,
"Edith Bolling Wilson,
"Mrs. Woodrow Wilson."
In making public Mrs. Wilson's
endorsement, Mrs. Kohut said:
"It is especially apropriate that our
campaign should receive the commen-
dation of the wife of the nation's
chief executive at its outset. This is
an indication to us that all women, in
every part of the country are going
to rally to our support in this cam-

These facts were brought out in
a splendid talk before the
Brith Club at its Forum Luncheon
l'nesday noon by Dr. Herbert M.
Rich. :sf embers of the Club and their
friends who have availed themselves
of the opportunities afforded for en-
ss
tertainment and instruction at the
Forums during the season has,.
heard able discussions on art and
literature, on history, religion and
kindred topics, butt none, perhaps,
offered more insight into a topic of
such vital imortance, as did Dr.
Rich's talk on "Public Health." As
supervisor of the Detroit Tubercu -
losis Sanitorium during the period of
the scar, and at present of the Harp-
er Ilospital Staff, Dr. Rich has made
an intensive study of the plague that
has become a menace to the well-be-
ing of the world.
The insidious onset of the disease
is considered by Dr. Rich as one of
its nose baleful characteristics. A
man bearing the germs of the plague
in his system for many years may
not be aware of it until it has made
such serious inroads on his health
that no medical aid can lie of help.
Poor ventilation, crowding, improper
food are a few of the contributing
causes.
file is scarcely a house in De-
troit that is properly ventilated," Dr.
Rich declared. "In the factories and
big offices, the conditions are still
worse. There are systems of venti-
lation that are improvements over
the usual plan. They are expensive,
it is true, but hardly as expensive as
death.

"If we do not see that the public 0
health of the town is taken care of,
we are not safe ourselves. The rich
man, to guard the health of his chub
dren, must see to it that the children
of his washerwoman, on the street
below 'hint, arc healthy. \Ve are
bound to be our brother's keeper.
The most expensive thing in the
world is being sick, and the only way
that the people in the city can stay
well is to see that others are well.

• Sin and ignorance were named by
the speaker as the two greatest
causes for all the misery and anguish
in the world. "Nowhere is this more
true than in the realm of disease,"
"If the people at
said Dr. Rich.
0
large knew what is known by mem-
bers of the medical profession, 75
per cent of sickness would be wiped
out."
The speaker exploded an ancient
theory when he indicated, through
the use of an official chart compiled
by the Overnment that the number
of deaths from nervous diseases are O
greater in rural districts than in the
city.
The impression that the strenu-
ous life of the city dweller breaks
down his nervous system is an errone-
ous," said the speaker. "Rust uses
up the mind. Country people, lead-
ing their dull, monotonous lives, hav-
ing few outside interests, are more
susceptible to nervous diseases than
O
city people."

The progress in the prevention of
the majority of contagious diseases
is best proved by the mortality fig-
ures of the bite war. Only 622
deaths of dypthcria arc recorded dur-
ing the war as compared to the 550,-
000 deaths from the same disease
(hiring the Spanish-American war.
Small-pox, cholera, and the plague,
have practically been eliminated
through preventative measures.
No progress has been made in the
control of respiratory diseases, ac-
cording to Dr. Rich. The crowding
and congestion in a large city rend-
ers its inhabitants more susceptible
to pneumonia, tuberculosis and re-
lated diseases. Where adequate pre-
cautionary methods are employed,
however, the results have been very
encouraging, the speaker stated, as in
Massachusetts, where the death rate
from tuberculosis has been cut to
one-half during the past year.
Improved systems of ventilation,
better housing facilities, sufficient
hospital room are a few of the pre-
cautionary measures advocated by
Dr. Rich in fighting the scourge.
The need for a larger hospital for tu-
bercular patients is a very urgent
one. the speaker pointed out in con-
clusion. The Detroit Tuberculosis
Sanitorintn, accommodating at the
most 175 patients, is hopelessly in-
adequate to meet the demand of a
city as large as Detroit.
