the toWnsite in 1907.
MI. Mitchell was later elect
ed a member of the town coun-

Mayors
Proclamation

One of the functions of
your city government is to
make Hardin an attractive
place in which to live. This
meanf we must have a
healthy community, and must
take steps to prevent a disease
such as tuberculosis from en-
dangering the lives of our
population.
Tuberculosis is no respect
or of persons. There is a very
definite danger of infection
to our residents if active
cases are allowed to go UNI
detected. Eighty per cent of
those having TB are not
conscious of being ill and
consequently see no reason
for consulting a doctor, until
tho disease has considerably
advanced. The only certain
way such cases can be dis
covered is by means of a
chest X.-Ray.
Facilities will be available
beginning next VI n d y,
March 14th whereby every
resident Of the community
may be X-Rayed RAPIDLY and
with a minimum of effort.
The portable unit is being
sponsored here through the
sale of Christmas seals, by
tho Montana State Tubercu-
lOsiS Association in coopera-
ton with the State Board of
Health. Every person IL years
Of age and over is urged to
receive his free X-Ray.
I earnestly request that
every citizen respond whole
heatedly to this campaign,
first by having an X-Ray and
then by urging his family
and friends to do likewise.
BY so doing you will not Only
protect yourself and your
family, but make Hardin a
healthier place in which to
live.

Mayor.
