UTAH PUBLIC HEALTH AssocIA.
TON is DOING MUCH FOR
PEOPLE OF STATE OF UTAH

better public health in Utah, the Utah
Public Health association has issued a
handsome folder describing the vari-
Gus educational and other health &c
uvities which were conducted by the
association during the past year.
This statement Is especially timely
now as the 1921 Christmas seal sale
commences on Thanksgiving day and
the association is once more going be-
fore the people of Utah with the ear
nest request and confident expectation
that they will buy more seals than ever
so that the association may expand
and improve its various health actly-
tiles.
Last year Utah citizens broke all
records in the purchase Of Christmas
seals and placed Utah ahead of all
other states In the Union in point OF
per capita purchases. In return for
this most liberal and loyal patronage
or the seal sale, the Btah Public
Health association has given the peo-
pie their moneys worth In more and
new lines of health work. Some Of
these activities have proved so popular
that 1t Will be necessary to expand
them and to continue them In opera
ton much longer than first contem-
plated, In order to give all the state
the benefits Of the work. Notable
among these new and important ac-
uvities Is the travelling health clinic,
, which Is now on a toE of the state.
This clinic started forth to cover the
safe In six months. Now 1t has be-
come apparent that It will take twelve
TO eighteen months to reach all dis
tricts. But the clinic Is going to be
kept In the field until every district
Is Visitsd-prOvided the people will
make this possible oy supporting this
years seal sale literally.
