This was the first law of this kind to be enacted in the United States, and the Brown Creek Soil Conservation District in Anson County was the first district to be organized in the United States. Today all 48 states have soil conser vation district laws and 1900 districts have been formed. , According to R. C. Jordan, Soil Conservationist for Chowan County, these elections will be held this week in the 84 counties of North Carolina which have been organized into Soil Conservation Districts.

Furthermore, half a mil lion people are estimated to have the disease in active form. Os these cases,- only half are known to health authorities. The other quar ter milliop are unrejforted cases and constitute a grave threat to the health of the entire population. They are a threat because tubercu losis is a communicable disease, spread by people with open cases. The unreported, or “unknown” pases are the chief source of infection. Fre quently, people with early tuberculosis do not realize they are ill because of the symptomless onset of the disease, yet they are not only losing their own health but may be transmitting their disease to others. 1 These unknown cases must be found if tuberculosis is ever to be eradicat ed. In other words, the unkonwn case is a source of infection to others and must be located. Precautions can then be taken to prevent the spread of the disease while the individuals affected are placed under treatment. We know how to find the unknown cases of tuberculosis. They can be found by chest X-raying apparently , healthy people over lo .via. s of rge. ■The X-ray is the i. ost ini porta it .lid | l in finding tubercu’ >sis tor t van di tect the presence of the di: ase e e in that early stage befoie the sy: p toms are apparent. With the development of X-ray equipment, using small films, it has become possible to X-ray large groups of people within a short period of time. Throughout the country the Na tional Tuberculosis Association and its affiliated state and local associations are cooperating with official health departments in mass X-ray examina tions to screen out the unknown cases. When suspicious shadows are found on the films in these ijiass examina tions, further X-rays must be taken and tests made before a definite diag nosis of tuberculosis can be reached. Mass X-ray examinations are a practical way of finding unknown tu berculosis and wherever such pro grams are planned they should re ceive the wholehearted support of the people of the community. Experience has proved, too, that the majority of cases found in these mass X-ray pro grams are still in that early stage when tuberculosis is easiest to cure. The case-finding work of the tuber culosis associations affiliated with the National Tuberculosis Association as well as all other services of the as sociations, is supported by Christmas Seal funds. The sale of seals, which provides the so)e income of the asso ciations, opened Monday of last week and will be continued until Christmas.

May Warn ofDisordcred Kidney Action Modern life with its hurry and worry, irrcfeular habits, improper eating and drinking—its risk of exposure and infec tion —throws heavy strain on the work of the kidneys. They are apt to become over-taxed and fail to filter excess acid and other impurities from the life-giving blood. You may suffer nagging backache* headache, dizziness, getting up nights, leg pains, swelling—feel constantly tired, nervoua, all worn out.
