occasion. made by the national asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
OF tuberculosis, the leaders of the
movement state that they hope to en-
list all OF the 100000 church mem
bers in country.
In one respect tuberculosis day will
differ from tuberculosis Sunday Of
1910. Instead Of requesting the
churches to give to the tuberculosis
cause a special Sunday service, the
national association . going to ask
this year that meetings. at which the
subject OF tuberculosis and its pre-
vention can be discussed. be held on
Sunday. April 80. or on any other day
near that date. either in the week
preceding or the week following.
