Wish Pictures

Free chest x-rays and read
ingS will be available to Har-
dir1ites from Monday through
Thursday, when the mobile x
ray unit of the Montana
tuberculosis association and the

lone of the functions of
your city government is to
make Hardin as attractive as
possible with a view to en-
couraging new business con-
Germs to establish themselves
here and to keep our present
enterprises satisfied.
"A healthy community is a
prime requisite if we are to be
successful in our efforts, and
we must 'take steps to prevent
a disease such as tuberculosis
from endangering the health
of our population. This is a
liability which Hardin seriously
intends to put out of business.
Tuberculosis is no respector
of persons. There is a very
definite danger of infection to
our residents if active cases
are allowed to go indicted.
Eighty per cent Of those hav-
ing tuberculosis in the early
stages are not conscious of be-
ing i'll and consequently see no
reason to consult a physician
until the disease has consider
ably advanced. The only cert
ain way such cases can be
discovered is by means of an
X-ray of the lungs.
Facilities are now available
whereby all residents of a COM
munity may be X-rayed rapid
ly and with a minimum of ef-
fort. Such a program will be
offered here beginning July 81.

cal committee in cooperation
