heard, then a large red fox ran I
out so fast the surprised Nelson

and shoot.
But Tippy gave his master an
other chance, for a few minutes
later he emerged dragging an
other fighting fox. This time. Nel
son was ready, and after the ani

Tuberculosis
Mortality Rate
Down 60 Percent
JUNEAU, June 12,—Deaths from
tuberculosis dropped almost two
thirds in the nine years among the
Indians of North Dakota and
South Dakota as the result of an
active educational campaign car
ried out by the Indians and the
Indian Service, William Brophy,
Commissioner of Indian Affairs,
today reported to Secretary of the
Interior J. A. Krug.
Tribal councils of the eleven
reservations in the Dakotas coop
erated in the effort to acquaint
all adults with the danger of per
mitting tuberculosis sufferers to
spread the disease. The Rosebud
Sioux Sribal Council, for instance
made it a punishable offense to
expose children under eighteen to
infection, and households having
active tuberculosis cases were pla
carded. Emphasis on the advis
ability of hospital treatment was
part of the campaign on all reser
vation. Dr. A. W. Dahlstrom. med
ical officer in charge of the tub
erculosis program of the Indian
Service, reporte i to Mr. Broph .
In 1937, 201 Indians died of
tuberculosis in the two states.
| In 1945, the number was sev
enty-five.
The Alaska Native Sere ?e is
making a similar effort to curb
the high tuberculosis death -ate
in Alaska. In their six general
hospitals and one tuberculosis
sanatorium, 182 hospital bed*, have
been filled during the past yea.-*
I with tuberculosis patients. Ar. ad
! ditional sixty-six beds in the
Tacoma Indian Hospital have been
kept constantly occupied by Na
tive pulmonary tuberculosis pa
tients from Alaska. The Alaska
Native Service has entered into
i contracts with thirteen private
I hospitals in the Territory to care
for Native Service beneficiar.es.
! Eighty natives were hospitalized
j for the treatment of tuberculosis
in these contract hospitals dur
ing the past year. The Alaska
Native Service is now requesting
Congress to appropriate addition
al funds so that more beds for
the care of tuberculosis patients
will be made available. It is
also planned to increase the cen
sus of patients hospitalized at the
Skagway Sanatorium to 150 with
in the next three months.
