TB Case Level Same
As Quarter-Century
Ago; X-Rays Advised
Though the death rate from
tuberculosis has been greatly
reduced through the use of new
drugs, Jackson county and the
state as a whole has just as many
active cases of this disease as
we had 25 years ago, Dr. A. E
Merkel stated today.
"That is why, as county health
officer, I am urging every adult
to have an x-ray at either the
Community or Sacred Heart hos
pital during the 'out-patient'
clinics," he added. "It is only
in this way that we can break
the chain of infection and wipe
out this completely unnecessary
and preventable disease.
The Sacred Heart hospital
clinic is available to the public
or the first time this Thursday
between the hours of 2 and 5

p.m. ihe community hospital
clinic is open on Wednesdays
from 3 to 6 p.m. Both clinics are
being operated by the hospitals
and the Jackson County Public
Health association in a case-finding
program. Officials of the
Health association emphasized
today that it is not necessary to
remove clothing to have a chest
x-ray, and no appointment is
necessary.
School children are being
given tuberculin skin tests which
indicate whether or not they
have come in contact with the
germ. Dr. Merkel explained. "If
adults will now take advantage
of the x-ray facilities provided
for them, with the skin testing
program we have a good chance
of finding the estimated 100
cases which are spreading the
disease," he added.

festival, to be held here April

News and Notes
From Camp White
Excuse, please
It waa simply horrid of us! How in the world did
we ever forget to tell wonderful you, of all people,
about the marvelous Bruce Cleaning Wax way to
care for wood floors? You might never have
known how in one oh-so-easy operation Bruce
Cleaning Wax thoroughly cleans and waxes floors
... or the sheer joy of never having to wash floors
again or how a floor can gleam
up at you month after month.
Try Bruce Cleaning Wax for wood
floors or Bruce Floor Cleaner with
lighter wax base for both linoleum
and wood. Then hold us personally
responsible for the happy results.
