the Utah Public Health Association, to
the people Of Utah.
The call is personal one to every
G.an. woman and child in the state
and the nation. The Utah Public
Health association expects every per-
son In Utah to do his "bit" in the
teGseless conflict against that arch en-
envy of the human race, consumption.
No truce is to be declared until the
invading hosts OF tubercle bacilli are
vanquished. Misery, destruction and
/ death tramp In the wake of consump-
ton and the cause of this devastation
must be annlhilated. 1t is a duty that
every man owes himself and his fell
lowmen TO grid on the armor of pre-
yentI2n and render service in the cause
Of good health.
Enlistment In the ranks of the anti
! tuberculosis hosts for the next great
| offensive against the enemy in Utah
will commence on Thanksgiving day,
November "A, when the 1921 Christ
| mas seal sale campaign will be lAsnch-
ed In every community of the state to
raise funds with which to fight tuber-
cu!osls In this state during the next
year. Every man, woman and child
can enlist as an active fighter in the
battle against tuberculosis by buying
Christmas seals. II is a simple, mex
pensive, easy matter to become a SOL
der In a cause, the success of which
will bring to humanity one of the great
est boons II could receive-freedom
from the misery and death of consump-
tion.
"Will you enlist In the cause Of good
health?
"Will you do your bit to help free
Utah from that scourge Of humanity
consu:nI Il, AZ"
These are the questions ASKED of
every citizen Of the state by the Utah
Public Health association.

This Is the answer expected from
every red-blOoded citizen who has the
interests Of his state, his own health.
and the welfare and happiness Of his
children and his fellow citizens at
heart. II
BUY CHRISTMAS SEALS
To those who so answer the associa-
ton says, "buy Christmas seals, for
in this way can you best and most eff
fee:.vely protect yourself and help
gard the safety Of others.
Be the purchase small or large,
every purchase supplies just that much
mere effective ammunition for use
~ inst the insiduous enemy.
The Utah Public Health association
ides not ask any man for donation.
It simply submits to him business
proposition-that of making an invest
ment in good health. His investment

surance against death and pays large
sums of money for this insurance year
-. In purchasing Christmas seals this
same man is simply buying insurance
against tuberculosis, for every Christ
mas seal represents a good health pol
Icy the premium on which goes TO help
protect the purchaser and his from
tuberculosis. No sound thinking man
will deny the valuS of an insurance
policy. No sound thinking man can
deny the value of an investment in
protection against tuberculosis, which
simply means the buying of Christmas
seals.
Statistics show that there are an
average Of 200 deaths annually in Utah
from tuberculosis. Experts declare
this number of deaths means there are
not less than 1000 active cases of the
disease In the state. Statistics further
show that the death rate from tuber-
culosis has increased in this state in
the past few years. This means an
increase In the number of active cases
So only as there is q case of the dis
ease in the state, not under proper con-
tro' and supervision, no man Is wholly
safe from infection. The only guaan-
tee of perfect safety from the disease
Is complete elimination Of II.
This, then, is the goal toward which
the army OF good health In Utah Is be-
ing martialed under the direction Of
the Utah Public Health association.
Thorough education OF all the people
along lines of prevention is the only
plan OF battle that will bring ultimate
victory. Money Is required to carry
IN tbs campaign.
To the people OF the state of Utah
comes the duty and the privilege OF
furnishing the sinews Of war with
which to "caTy on" in this state.
Then, buy Christmas seals and help !

those who purchase Christmas seals
will help to do Is to continue the work |

Is now engaged in a thorough tuber-
culos's survey and In conjunction with |
the u s. Public Health service and the !
