FRANCIS Tuberculosis, a communicable disease which kills Americans at the rat* of one person eVery 11 minutes, can be eradicated. It will not be eradicated, however, un less people all over the country realize the threat thi^ preventable disease Is and insist upon adequ ate measures to bring it under complete control. It 1a estimated there are 800,000 people with active tuberculosis in this country. Only about half of these are known to the health authorities. That means there are approximately a quarter of a mil ?n "unknown" cases of tubercu is in the United State*. In or der to eradicate tuberculosis, these "unknown" cases must be found and treatment provided for the individuals from the disease. Many people with tuberculosis do not realize they are ill because the disease has no outward symp toms in Its early stale. Thus, ap parently healthy people may have tuberculosis without knowing it, and at the same time, may be spreading their disease to others, since tuberculosis la contagioua even in its early stage. Tuberculosis can be detected, however, even in the early stage by means of a chest x-ray. That ia why official health agencies and voluntary tuberculosis aaaocia tioqs together with the medical profession, advocate the regular cheat x-ray examination; of the entire adult population. In many parts of the country, group iM kvan community wide x-ray service*, are being conducted In an effort to find all unknown cassi of tuberculosis These ser vices will be offered to the Wata uga county citizens on June 27th, and every adult should take ad vantage of them by getting a chest x-ray, and by urging others to do so. Finding the unknown cases of tuberculosis is only part of the battle against this disease. It will do little good to find tuberculosis unless treatment is provided for the person suffering from this disease which can be cured. Treatment therefore, should be arranged early for an early re covery. i Enrolls At University Of K. C. Kansas City, Mo., June 6 ? Thelmi M.
