LIE INN DEA n HAVE 7lS
WAY.-In America one-third of all
the people who die are victims to lung
disease pneumonia and tubercu-
losis.
If pneumonia were a beast, with
sharp teeth and claws and fierce
appetite for human flesh, you would
put locks on your doors, arm your
self and fight for your life. If some
body told you to let the beast into
your house and lock your doors and
bar your windows so that the beast
couldn't get out until he had made
a meal of you, you would look on
that advisor as an enemy or fool.
If tuberculosis we're a ravenous
bird of the carnivora sort, with sharp,
hooked beak, mighty talons and a
fierce appetite for the flesh Of chill
dren, you'd strive nightly to protect
your little ones and turn a deaf ear
to those who should declare that that
terrible bird was good thing to have
In the house.
But, without beak, teeth or claw,
pneumonia and tuberculosis kill.
Ignorance and recklessness enable
them to kill one-third of all Ameri-
cans who die, every year. If these
things wore claws and teeth, how the
world would laugh at us if we per-
United them to kill us off at such a
rate! But we know that they kill
through carbonic-acid gas, foul air.
