Against Consumption.

Sanitary Sunday''is announc-
ed by the tuberculosis and health
authorities for Sunday, 18th inst.
DIR. Charles A. Julian, assistant
secretary for tuberculosis for the
State Board of Health, has issued
the following open letter 70 the
churches and church people OF
North Carolina:
There is now being conducted
a campaign Of education for the
study and prevention of tuber-
culosis in this State. Scientists
now believe that the disease can
be checked. and not only checked
but obliterated and effaced from
the earth. if a we'll organized at
tempt is made in the direction of
assistance, and with keen sighted
educational measure and super
vision. But the fact remains
that this battle against disease
must be perpetuated by the peo-
lple. Its success depends upon
| the organization of a fighting
| force in every community devot-
ed to its object and inspired to
constant and undated activity.
|, tuberculosis is a preventable dis
ease and must be prevented.
tuberculosis kills more people
and costs more money than all
other communicable diseases
! combined. But it will take
combined effort on the part Of
= the entire.people to prevent it.
This campaign on tuberculosis is
clearing up the whole local health
T. situation. We cannot get con-
e troll Of tuberculosis without max
If ing it practically impossible for
IS any of the filth or needless disease
y to exist. In getting rid of this
ii disease we will raise the whole
IF standard of living for the aver.
n age people. The prevention OF
w the disease rather than it's cure,
IN the removal of the causes anC
Of conditions conducive to diseases
y. is a primary object of the effort
cb I'VE would like this informa
ne ton to be brought to the atten
m ton of the ministers of Nortl
us us Carolina in view of a request t,
NJ make Sunday, November 18th,
of sanitary Sabbath. On that da
we hope that every minister i
i or the State will preach a specis
.sy health sermon, explain the it'll

its mission, explain the figh
against diseases, explain the wal

appeal to the people to say
