 Funds Are Needed


 Tuberculosis society held meeting yes- terday afternoon at o'clock to discuss several matters pertaining to the work or the organization, and among other things to inspect the architects plans for the administration building for the fresh ar camp on Red mountain.
 The plans for the building were entirely satisfactory, and were accepted by the committee. This latest structure will De under way immediately, and the work perhaps completed within a week. It will consist of an office for the superintend- ent at the camp, reception room, an examination room, laboratory, bedrooms and baths for the officers. It Is most con veniently arranged, and when completed will greatly add to the facilities for car rying on the work at the camp. The other buildings are now being painted, and 1t Is the intention of the committee to have everything In readiness for the dedicatory exercises which will be held at the camp on Tuberculosis Day.
 An appropriate programme has been arranged for that day, and it will consist of number of addresses by local citi- zens and musical numbers in addition. All who are in any way interested in the work have been invited and the public in general will be asked to participate in the exercises.
 Miss Elizabeth Carpenter of Atlanta, who was graduated from the Phitts insti- ute, and comes highly recommended with Io oly of Epnxr1adpa of the work, has been secured as the su- perintendent for the camp She Is woman of splendid capabilities, and the tuberculosis society Is very much pleased at having been able to obtain her ser vices. Miss Florence Cavers, graduate of the Woman's hospital of Detroit, fills the capacity of head nurse, and she is fitted in every way for the place.
 Funds Needed
 The camp is greatly in need of larger funds to carry on the growing work. The number of patients who seek admission to the camp Is increasing every day, eight sufferers having made application in the past two days. The fresh air camp has maintenance fund at present of only s2o0 d nlOHlIl, anu tllSN IS Sulllticnt tO SiNC ol very limited number of patients. The committee Is at present urging all the old members to renew their subscriptions of last year, and all the delinquent ones to send in their dues and save the commit tee the extra trouble of calling on them.
 The national association is making plans for the Tuberculosis Day to be ob- served on April 30, when ministers througout the entire country will under take to educate the people along the gem eral lines showing the causes and the pre- venton of the disease.
 Each minister in Jefferson county will be asked to devote some part of his ser vices on Sunday, April 30, toward educat- ing the people in regard to the subject, and with this in view the local association is sending out from its headquarters at the Chamber of Commerce building an outline which each minister will be asked to follow in telling of the disease. It's na- ture. causes, symptoms, methods of treat ment and other such details will help in disseminating among the people at large a general idea of the ways In which the white plague may be eradicated.
 The local branch of the Anti-Tubercu- losis association feel sure that every pull pit will undertake to do some good for the cause. They will not be asked to devote the whole services to the subject, but just such time as can be conveniently arranged before or after the regular lor- der.
