having been reduced from, 51,7 in 1043
to 48 last year, a most gratifying com-
parison with the rate of 200 per 100,000

But with -tuberculosis still taking •

the Canadian Tuulosis Association,

be intensifi&1 if po,6sible.
:The still high death toll has so
stirred the Provincial and municipal
authorities that active steps are tieing
taken tos „ist in the control and

discovery off' new cases through mass

As the Sanatorium's preventive pro-

,such outstanding. work in the finding
of new 'cases, is supported entirely by

larger contributions of individuals and

ask everyone- to give generously, thus
