A.
better public health in Utah, the utah
Public Health association has Issued a
handsome folder describing the Vail'
Gus educational and other health nc
tiyities which were conducted by the
association during the past year.
This statement is especially timely
now as the 1921 Christmas seal SAFE
commences on Thanksgiving day ana
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
osher states in the Union In point Of
per capita purchases. In return for
this most liberal and loyal patronage
of the seal sale, the Utah 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 IL 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-
tivitles is the travelling health clinic,
which Is now on tour Of the state.
This clinic started forth to cover the
safe in six months Now II has be-
come apparent that II will take twelve
to eighteen months TO reach all dis
trlcts. But the clinic is going TO be
kept in the field until every district
is vlsited-provlded the people VIII
make this possible -hy supporting this
year s~sesf sale literally.

seals this year, that more work may
be done toward building the health OF
