HELP CAUSE OF HEALTH INSUR- j
ANCE.
One out of every nine deaths in the
cities is due to tuberculosis. Careful
investigations and reliable statistics
prove that where sanitary conditions
at e improved, the rate of mortality de
creases. This accounts for the fact
that it is lower in the city than in the I
country, where the rate is one m seven. |
However, there remains much to bo
done in the way of better living condi
tions in the cities. The people are
just beginning to learn how they may
guard against the insidious advances
of tuberculosis. Trained workers are
studying carefully the disease and the
conditions w hich produce^., and in lo
calities where methods of prevention
are more closely followed, there have
been very mar teed decrease in the rate
of mortality.
The Arkansas Publice Health Asso
ciation 's thb we«*K undertaking to
raise in the State a total of $lc>0.00 >
through the sale of the Christmas Seals
to carry on the work of combating this
awful disease.
A fact which should appeal to the la
boring classes is that the economic
loss in wages in Pulaski County alone
due to tuberculosis amounts to more
’u.n $900,000 annually, computing the
>s at the extremely low wage of $3
day for each worker.
We can not guard against the tor
nado or natural catastrophes, but we
can prevent the reva^es of consump
tion and cure a large percentage of
cases unless they have gone too far.
To provide means for this altruistic
work, this insurance of domestice en
ergy, this guaranty of social efficiency,
the Arkansas Public Health Associa
tion has undertaken, through the sale
of Christmas Seals this week, to raise
a total of $150,000 in Arkansas with
which to carry on its great program of
sanitation,education, day nursing and
clinics. Each penny paid for a Christ
mas Seal will help in the campaign
against tire greatest of all plagues. Will
you do your part?
STOP THE ECONOMIC LOSS.
If you should see a thief or assassin
deliberately taking the life of a loved
one, you would not hesitate to inter
vene forcefully to prevent the crime.
And yet, one of the world’s greatest
assassins has been running riot
throughout the land for ages, and only
within recent times have the people
been ai'oused to the fact that his fell
hand may be stayed end the lives of
our loved ones saved from his foul
touch.
