Have you had a chest x-fay to be sure that your lungs are free from the shadows that suggest the dread disease tuberculosis? With the cause and cure known for this condition, the only obstacle in complete eradication is locating the affected persons and placing them under medical supervision, the educational committee of the Illinois ^tate Medical society points out " Health Talk. Tuberculosis is a germ disease. Caused by the tubercle bacillus, it invades the system slowly, destroying the tissue. Heredity is not-, a factor. It seems to attack £he person whose body resistance is low, a state brought on by fatigue, inadequate food, improper rest and late hours. Initially tuberculosis may not '.YfJPtoduce noticeable symptoms, but the disease progresses there is a general effect of wasting away. Although usually considred as a disease of the lungs, tuberculosis nriay also attack the bones, th^ glands, the coverings of the brain, the eyes, the skin and the kidneys. Early detection is important, because then, the patient may not have to alter his living habits noticeably, nor be removed from his tmily. Under the supervision of physician, his living habits will become more temperate and more rest each day will be in order. On the other band, 'the person with advanced tuberculdsis may have to spend months or years in a sanatorium, or may die of it. New drugs are constantly employed to help in the combat against tuberculosis, but continual research and experimentation §fre needed to establish their efficacy and dependability. When the germ gets into the body it may remain quiet without causing much trouble for a long period of time. In fact, if not too many germs have entered the body and if the general health and state of nutrition remain good, these bacilli may be' prevented from spreading and growing by the ^jealth of the body itself. The first step in the prevention of tuberculosis is the maintenance of one's good health, not only by regular physical examinations by the family physician, but adherence to regulations governing balanced mental and physical activity. Because early detection is important, the wise person will have an x-ray film taken of his chest periodically. A tuberculin test wiould also be taken. In this procedure, a small amount of material called tuberculin is applied to the skin or, in some cases, injected beneath the skin. If the test is positive, it does not mean necessarily that the disease exists. It does show that at some time in the past tubercule bacilli have entered the body. Because tuberculosis can still be a killer, don't hesitate to have a chest x-ray. By eliminating yourself as a victim, you are strengthening the pattern of good health for your family and for your community. I ipson raffic CHARLES F. 0 A.RPENT1 FR Secretary of. State A recent survey disclosed the alarming fact that one of the main causes of accidents during a halfyear period on the Illinois rural primary highway system was th6 neglect by motorists to simply heed the rules of the road. Statistics also show that mechanical defect, puncture or blowout resulted In an amazingly low number of accidents. Some astute observers point out that the present day motorist haB educated himself to keep his vehicle -- from engine to tires -- in good condition so that such ridiculous accidents do not occur. These same figures also disclose that th& two high apparent causes of accidents were the disregard of signals and the failure >to have the OBSERVE AIL SIGNS AND SIGNALS vruavi s right of way. It is almost inconceivable that some motorists will not conclude that signs and signals are placed at designated spots for safety's sake and for no other reason, and that no vehicle should proceed without the right of waj.

Because so many persons are, the National Safety Council called on pedestrians today to stop walking themselves to death -- especially during December, when pedestrian deaths are highest. Longer hours of darkness, Christmas shopping, haste, and holiday drinking by both pedestrians and drivers increase pedestrian accidents and deaths in December, the Council said. Pedestrian safety will hp strpssed during December through a special campaign, "Back the Attack on Traffic Accidents," which will be launched in December and will continue through 1957, the council said. Emphasis also will be on speed, night driving and drinking. ^ The purpose of the campaign is. first, to encourage public officials to step up the attack, and, second, 'to stimulate citizens to back the attack on traffic accidents. Last year 8,200 pedestrians were killed by motor vehicles, the council said, and in many of these accidents the driver of the car was not at fault. Often at night the driver of a car travelling at a comparatively low speed cannot see the pedestrian in time to avoid hitting him. If the car is traveling 34 miles an hour -- about 50 feet a second and the driver sees the pedestrian J00 feet awa>\ it is almost impossible for the driver to stop in time. And the pedestrian only has two seconds to escape being hit -- unless the driver changes his speed or direction! A special study of holiday accidents, made by the council, shows that one-third of the pedestrians killed during the last Christmas holiday contributed to their deaths by crossing .between intersections, stepping from behind a parked car or walking on a roadway. Victims were--principally--elder--pers Four out of 10 were 65 years of age or older. To avoid being, hit, the. council urges pedestrians to: 1. Cross streets only at intersections and to stay within crosswalks. 2. Obey traffic signals, signs, regulations, and directions of traffic officers. 3. Never dash into the street or walk suddenly from any spot Where parked cars or other obstructions block the view. 4. Be sure there is time to cross safely before stepping from curb- 5. Walk to the left, facing traffic, if there are no sidewalks. Winter with its rigors is here. Take care of your heart, advises your Chicago Heart association. Avoid sudden violent exposure. Keep warm. Be.moderate. Be happy. That is the way to live a long time.
