MORE AID IS NEEDED

The tuberculosis camp to be estab- lished on the top of Red mountain has been called temporary camp, but it is only temporary ip the sense that any tent is temporary from the nature of its construction.
 It is to be maintained all the year with a permanent organization. The patients living out of doors is really more es- sential in the winter than in the sum- mer, as there is naturally a. greater ten deney toward permitting free circulation of air through the sleeping apartment while in close houses the approach of winter witnesses an immediate attempt on the part of many to make the bed- room air tight.
 The same camp furnishings will be necessary to equip small camp as for a larger one. A nurse, cook, a man for general work, will have to be employed, and tents furnished for cooking and din- ing.
 But the people of Birmingham are ex- pected to do their part. Already 2s6 have joined the association, and every wage earner in the city is expected to con- tribute one dollar year toward its sup port. It is impossible to open the camp until the commissary department is equipped Blankets are especially need cd, and the association makes call up- on the general public to aid in this work. In discussing the matter yester- day Dr. B. L. Wyman said:
 We hope that many will avail them selves of the opportunity to make a do- nation of some particular article enumer- ated in the list published in Saturdays paper. If an entire outfit cannot be given, give a tent. cot, mattress, or at any rate, send in something. If not convenient to provide any particular ar- ticle, send a check to the secretary of this association stating how you wish it to be applied.
 There have already been ylaced on file several applications from patients who desire to avail themselves of this oppor tunty to live outdoors. The majority of these are willing to pay something to- wards the cost of their maintenance, and it is hoped to establish .the camp on partially self-supportinS basis Of course, this means only so far as the monthly cost of the work is concerned; the equipment must first be provided.
 "As soon as it is feasible, a statement will be made showing the cost per day per patient with the idea in view that will be received to main- tain patient for a certain period of time.
 '.For the present we wish to reiterate what has already been said about tho great desirability of receiving contribu- tions to establish this camp at once, Will you not aid us in this?"
