Success in Work Here.
The tuberculosis work in Shawnee
county since January l when the
funds from the Christmas seal sale
were first used has been most salts
factory. Mrs. Kurtz Kellam states.
We have our budget laid out al
most to the penny for the year 1921"
Mrs. kellam explains. We will spend
every cent of the subscriptions to the
health bonds and Christmas seal sale
in the fight against the disease here.
In the first three months of the year
the two city tuberculosis nurses have
made 1900 visits to families. This
alone is worth the expense of the
years program. The nurses have been
employed for the entire year
There were eight 800 health
bonds purchased during our sale in
December. These bonds will provide
- the country clinics announced today.
We have distributed the funds in such
a manner that We believe the entire
county will be covered thoroly. Per-
sons who are not able to avail them
selves of the opportunity to visit the
eight clinics scheduled may come to
Topeka any Friday afternoon and IN
dergo a free examination at the city
clinic in the auditorium building.
1T is our mbition to reach into
every home in Shawnee county where
there is a trace Of tuberculosis To
those who have not suffered or are
not suffering from the disease we
wish to educa te in avoiding it.
Incidentally, anyone desiring to
make additional subscriptions may
feel assured that the money will be
spent to further the work
