dollars. We have paid mil
lions as tribute to the monster
Tuberculosis. Let’s give a

of the children.
In the schools we are put
ting the health crusade for the
purpoose of rearing the chil

their children to keep cru

are people who walk our
streets from day to day,
coughing and spitting in our
stores, on the streets or any
where they chose. They

from the dippers in use in
offices and stores. They live

money is no incentive to pro
