"Yes,' is the oft-put inquiry whether mems

WHY GULL POULTRY FOR EGG

We have already been taught that

very essential that the culling work
is started early in the game.
In starting in poultry work It is
best to raise only one kind Of poui-

flock will look better and the cullnc
for egg production can be carried on
much easier.

DECREASE IN TUBERCULOSIS
BY DIR. J. s. Lock
Secretary of the Kentucky Tubercu-
losis Assoc iation

How certainly the fight for health
and against tuberculosis is going for
ward to victiTy is told in the official
reports Of the Bureau Of Vital Sta
tistics Of Kentucky. The death rae
from tuberculosis has been cut from
300 for each 100000 Of population in
1911 to the unprecedented low figure
of 1913 per 100000 in 1921. Had the
high rate Of 1911 prevailed, there
would have been 5,440 deaths from
the white plague last year instead OF
3,135.
The National Tuberculosis Associa-
tion some fifteen years ago put out
Christmas seal t.. be sold at penny
apiece to interest the public in a
great nationwide effort to stamp out
tuberculosis. This little penny Chris
mas stamp stands today as the great
champion Of health and the enemy OF
the "Great White Plague" 1t has
been the means Of interesting more
people in the cause of tuberculosis,
prevention and good health than any
one thing.
Financial returns from the annual
seal sales have not been large. but
the results have been tremendous and
far-reaching, exceeding the fondest
hopes of those who conceived this
splendid means Of financing the war
fare against tuberculosis. Sanatori-
ums have been built, nursing servic,
established, laws enacted requiring
the reporting Ct tuberculosis and the
care Of consumptives, as a result OF
the educational work which was fos
tered by seal sale.
II ought TO be a crime TO allow
more than 5000 Of the most produc
tive and necessary people Of Kentuc
ky to die each year from tuberculosis
The message # the 1922 Christina
seal is to carry on the fight TO-
health. Every seal you buy an,
every seal you use on our Christmas
mail helps. Buy Christmas seals an,

crusade.

Mr.. Fox began to sing with his eyes
