PREVENTION IS A MORE

TREATMENT

Z OW II HAN
TREATMENT
Prevention is a more powerful
weapon than treatment in the control
of tuberculosis declared officials of
the Nebraska tuberculosis Associat-
ion in announcing the early diagnose.
campaign conducted annually during
April.
People cannot be expected to recog-
nize fatigue as having the rcmotest
connection with tuberculosis. Even
a physician n be expected to rec
ognize tuberculosis in its early stages
without a thorough examination, i'll
GLIDING a chest x-ray.
The x-ray can be relied upon to
find a TB infection of the lungs long
before signs Of the disease can be de-
tected by stethoscope. X-ray is the
only sure way of knowing whether
lungs are healthy or diseased.
Any person who waits for symp-
toms before getting a chest X-ray is
storing up trouble, for, it may take
long, slow years Of bed rest to cure
him. Long years in bed mean being
away from work, heavy expense,
draining ones own resources or pub
lie money. Some of the people who
waited never recovered. There are
about 100 deaths from tuberculosis in
this country each day. Those deaths
should not happen. Each death from
TB is unnecessary.
That is why we go looking for
small trouble before great trouble
finds US and overwhelms US. We
urge the search for early tuberculos-
is among apparently healthy people.

LlolIlI I WoOJ.
Susanna Foster has ambitions to
sing in opera at some not-far-
distant date and friends feel she
has all the qualifications necessary
for such a career-that is, almost
all. However, they're little fearful
of the tomboy that still turks in 18-
year-old Susanna and wonder if she
will ever acquire the dignified mien
considered necessary.
They point to a recent occasion
when Susanna was asked to sing
for a benefit at the Philharmonic
Auditorium in Los Angeles. With
a fancy audience out front, Susanna
went into difficult aria, knocked
off her usual high C's and did a
beautiful job. The crowd responded
with a tremendous ovation.
Susanna grinned broadly, mopped
her brow with the back of her hand,
then walked off the stage with
hands clasped above her head in
prize fighters response.

Standing Room Only"
But we, DON'T" said the clerk.
20. K.," said Mr.. B., "but if this
is joke, it's not funny"
With those parting words, he
went to another equally famous
hostelry.
It offered him a room, one so re-
mote and far away from the ritzy-
looking lobby that Mr.. Blair thought
it must be in an adjoining county.
"Is this part of the hotel I came
into?" he asked.
The bellboy's civic pride was
aroused.
"If you don't like it, you might
go somewhere else," he said.

Mr.. Blair, whose acquaintanceship
with Washington hotels was by no
means exhausted at that point,
thought that was a fine idea. He
went to another hotel, still famous
one.
1--WE have a suite, but not room,"
the man said.
Mr.. Blair, feeling like a kangaroo
on pogo stick, walked behind the
bellboy to the suite. The living room
was huge, the bath immaculate, the
walls decorated with the finest in
hotel art. He knew he would be
comfortable there. He settled in the
most comfortable chair in the living
room to prove it.
The noises of adjoining rooms on
both sides and the top began to come
to them through the walls.

some other studio was making a
comedy in the place. To the left of

Phones started ringing all around
me. I thought they were mine and
answered. The more answered the
more the ringing continued. I
thought I was losing my mind. A
man answering ringing phone can
begin to feel like that, you know.
Then the people in the room up
stairs started a jitterbug contest.
At least I think it was a jitterbug
contest. Now the Hollywood han

AS a check on his sanity, Mr.. Blair
decided to call the hotel manager.
What are you doing here?" the
manager asked.
Trying to remain sane," said Mr.
Blair, who was beginning to get
petulant.
But you are not supposed to be

The manager told him that he
