Thirty years ago nearly 200
people out of every 100,000 of our
population were dying from Tub
erculosis. During these years
(three and one-half million men,
women and children have died
from this preventable disease but
had the mortality rate prevailed
an additional two and one-half
million would have died. Today
the tuberculosis mortality rate in
55 per 100,000 in this country &
there are more than 500,000 peo
ple sack with tuberculosis.
The chief concern of the thous
ands of men and women working
with the national, state and local
tuberculosis associations is to
find tuberculosis in its early stage
when cure may be more easily
affeted. The greatest number of
deaths occur between the ages 15
and 45 for which age group tub
erculosis is still the leading cause
•of death. In spite of the steady
improvement of diagnostic meth
ods only 13 per cent of cases ad
mitted to sanatoria are found to
be in the early stages of the dis
ease and this means there are
far too many unrecognized cases
in the community infecting their
families and neighbors. Only by
finding every single case can the
disease be stamped out.
Early examination, skillful di
agnosis and prompt treatment are
the factors which make the dis
ease curable and preventable.
Suspicious cases should be prom
ptly examined, and examinations
even where the disease is not sus
peted are important.
All this means that the cooper
ation given the campaign during
these thirty years must be con
tinued. The public has done its
share generously in the past and
now has another opportunity to
continue its interest and help.
Tuberculosis is everybody's pro
bl m for tuberculosis undiscov
ered endangers you. Let's help
to bring it under complete con
trol by buying Christmas Seals.
Look for the double-barred cross
on the seals you buy and use, the
symbol of the world-wide fight
against man's oldest disease and
enemy.
TOM SAWYER OUTLAWED
The president of Brazil, having
used the army to make himself
dictator, has ordered “The Ad
ventures of Tom Sawyer” remov
ed from all schools and public
libfraries, on the ground that it
is “subversive” and “communist”
literature. If Mark Twain were
alive, he would have something
to say about these tyrants in So
uth America and Europe and
Asia who pin the communist la
bel on everything that is demo
cratic and who band together to
ov. rthrow democracy all over the
world and to prohibit such books
world and to prohibit such books
as ‘Torn Sawyer.”
