L. Highlands Shippensburg, Pa. TUBERCULOSIS KILLS 20 DAILY IN STATE Wipe out a preventable disease that kills twenty Pennsylvanians every day, is the plea made by Colonel Henry W. Shoemaker, in announcing his acceptance of the chairmanship of the 1926 sale of Tuberculosis Christmas Seals in Pennsylvania. Colonel Shoemaker, who as business man, historian and forester, is one of the best informed men on Pennsylvania, says: "Twenty Pennsylvanians are killed daily by tuberculosis.

These figures mean this preventable disease in 1925 took the lives of 7300 persons, or 78 out of each 100,000 population. For every death there are at least nine active cases of tuberculosis. Every person with active tuberculosis is incapacitated for a period ranging from six months to six years. It makes some thinking! of all these deaths is an even greater number of tragedies. These are the sad details revealed in stories of children orphaned, and of parents families wiped out by tuberculosis, who have lost little ones.

They are known to all physicians, nurses, health and church workers, as well AS to practically every individual. "The White Plague continues to be a most serious menace in our family and economic life despite the progress already made in fighting it. Closely allied with this progress is the united effort of the local, state and national tuberculosis organizations. Their work must be enlarged if tuberculosis is to be brought entirely under control, and eventually stamped out." SOME SYMPTOMS For one's self and for one's assoelates the recognition of one or more of the signs that create suspicion of the development of tuberculosis is of value in promoting early treatment. These symptoms are seldom all present at one time.

'The symptoms comprise: Loss of strength, of pep, of appetite. Fever in the afternoon or evening. Spitting of blood. A cough that persista for several weeks Hoarseness. Loss of weight.

Chills or night sweats. Frequent attacks of indigestion. Pain in the chest, pleurisy. Seal the fate of the White Plague with Tuberculosis Christmas Seals. Become a Bondholder of Health by purchasing Health Bonds.

Fighting tuberculosis is everybody's "HELLO" OBSOLETE; GIVE NAME INSTEAD The origin of the word "hello" is not generally known, but it is said that credit for it belongs to Thomas A. Edison, the electrical wizard. People used to say, "Are you there?" similar things when they answered or the telephone. According to the story, one day Edison responded to his line by saying "hello" ring on into the transmitter. A more modern and approved method of answering the telephone is by The Bell Telephone Comgiven pany of Pennsylvania.

To start off the conversation in an efficient manner, the person answering should give his name as: "Mr. Brown "Mr. Brown's telephone, Miss or Smith speaking" (if secretary or stenographer answer the call). This saves time and starts the conversaits way with no confusion. In tion on answering from a residence telephone, the approved method is to give the telephone number.
