HEALTH FOR ALL

QUITTING down the tuberculosis
death rate is not the only way
in which lives have been saved
Ia Wisconsin since the organized
fight against tuberculosis was begun
and the first annual sale of Christmar
seals was held. The same health
rules which must be followed in curing
tuberculosis will also prevent it.
One Of the important by-products OF
the educational campaign against tu-
berculosis has been the cutting down
of the death rate from other diseases
as well, for tuberculosis is not the
only disease that yields to sunshine,
fresh air. good food, rest and intelli-
gent medical care.
The Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis
Association hopes to put itself out OF
business. Prevention of disease is it's
biggest ambition. That is why it has
done and is doing so much to promote
health work and health teaching in
the schools. II is the originator OF
the fundamental idea now grown into
a, nationwide movement and known
as the Modern Health Crusade, that
being but one of the many activities
which the state association finances
with the proceeds of the annual sale
of penny Christmas seals.

AS we approach the Christmas sea-

in a very peculiar accident while
flying a kite. Instead of a
string, he was using a fine cop
per wire and the kite in falling,
became entangled in a high live
wire carrying a charge Of some
600 volts of electricity. Although
the little wire was almost in

of the charge entered the child's
body to knock him several feet
and to burn him quite severely.
the fact that the wire was
so small, being only about the.
