Death Rate Is Decreasing.


For the last five years the death
rate from tuberculosis has been re-
duced by one every IS hours. With
all the agencies well at work. the next
five years will show a reduction of
one at least every "a hours in this
state"
This is the message which DR.. c. A.
Harper, state health officer, is send
ing to local health officers. urging
them to encourage the purchase of
Christmas seal stamps by the people.
The sale of the Christmas seal
stamps, through which the work of
the Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis asso-
citation is financed, is now on. The
work of this association is valuable
to all public health agencies and COM
ment is unnecessary.
II desire, however, TO call your spe-
cial attention to the importance of
this work and, as a public health Of
ficer, ask that you become directly
interested in furthering the sale of the
Christmas seal to the fullest extent.
Every stamp sold aids toward the
protection of our fellow citizens and
strikes one more blow at the most
dreaded of all Observation-Disclosures.
No one can afford to leave a single
stone unturned in order to further
the crusade against the great white
plague.
Kindly encourage the purchasing
of Christmas seal stamps in your com
munity and thereby become an active
factor in reducing the death rate and
sickness from this disease"
