IWiiliilWiiiflâ„¢!! Report of Evanston Tuberculo- sis Institute, Just' Issued, Shows Much Work Has Been Accomplished. APPEAL MAQE FOR FUNDS The great work thai has been ac- complished by the Evanston Tubercu- losis Institute was revealed today When (or the.first time In its history the officers made an appeal to the public for funds. An idea of what the movement Is doing can be seen by the fact that in three years the list of deaths caused by the white plague was cut in half. The Institute has been doing so much work that it will soon run short of funds and for this reason the public appeal has been made. There are 200 cases of the disease in Evans- ton at the"present time, according to the report and the majority of these can be cured. It is to this end the officials are working: Give Many Facts. Following are some of the facta taken from the report: "Do you know that twenty-eight people died of tuberculosis in Evans- ton In 1908 T "Do you know that twenty people died of tuberculosis in Evanston in 1909?

"Do you know that every case of tuberculosis Is a menace to you and your family? Do you. know that 80 per cent of the cases are curable? "Do yon know that we can stamp out tuberculosis in Evanston?
