Come and Gel It!
Al lust it has happened. Everybody's pointf to fiet some
thinu for nothing.
Instead of being asked to give we are being a.-.kcd to receive
a chest X r. y. This X ray will not only show what her tuberculosis
is present, it will indicate otner possible maladies in the chest
region. I
Having the X-r?y taken is very simple. After arriving at the
mobile unit, a receptionist will take "vit: 1 statistics" such as name,
age. address. Then the person being X raved will step before a
large 'camera" and presto, the picture is taken.
There is no necessity to remove clothing and the whole
process is so simple and fast that even the busiest person will
have time for a visit to the mobile unit when it comes to his
community.
After the X ray pictures are read, a confidential report will
be mailed to each one X rayed II the report is negative, all well
and good; il positive, steps can be taken aHfr further examination,
to cure 'IT.. Tins disease, when caught in the early Mages (and
X ray is the ONLY way to linil it caily) is one of the most
curable diseases.
X rays will be given only to persons over 15. TB can -strike
nl .!! slai'e. but the highest mortality late occurs in men over
)." generally, the disease is prevalent among adults.
The only cure is rest, complete rest in bed. good food, plenty
ol fresh ; ir and. if necessary, chest surgery. The best place to re
ceive Ibis cure. is. ol course, the sanalo. iiim where there is not
only expert medical care but also a rehabilitation program. Con
finement to a sanatorium also prevents the disease from spread
ing to other healthy individuals.
Persons who laughingly, but with serious intent, say "I'm not
goin;; to get an X ray Iicivim' I don't want to find out if I have it,"
are not only ignei aHiuses. but i! they have Tli. they endanger the
lives of the rest of their family anil everyone with whom they
come in contact.
The mobile X ray units will lie in the Cininty from today
through the thiid week in March. It will stop near your home
sometime within 1'iis period. Each issue of THE NKWS-TIMKS
will carry the schedule for the o uiim: veek. Watch for it and
then get your chest X-rayed free.
Thoughts for on opvn mind...
Who hrs deceived you : s iiflen a.-- yourself?
Dignity is often a cloak for ignorance.
The shortest and surest way to live with honor in the world is
to be in reality that which we would appear to he.
Sincerity and truth ;tc the basis ol every virtue.
A face that c; nnol .smile is like a bud that cannot blossom:
Its beauty withers ere the world has a chance to see it.
The blessing of an active mind, when it is in good condition, is
that it not only employs itself, but is almost sure to give em
ployment to others.
A wise man is never less alone than when he is alone.
The morality of an action depends upon the motive from which
we act.

was marked by the giving of pre
sents. The southern states pass
over the observance of Lincoln's
