Use Money to Employ County
Nurses to Call at Homes
of Patients

Tomorrow the annual sale of seals is

ton in aid of the Tuberculosis fight
will be opened in Birmingham.
A new plan is adopted this year in or
der to get the seals early into the hands
of those who use them.
As announced in the columns of The
Age-Herald. a committee of ladies' and
girls has been organized to use the tele-
phones for reaching the residences of
Birmingham and district.
Friends of the anti-tuberculosis work
who desire to use seals may have them
forwarded by mail through this commit
tee and remit direct to the association.
All are asked to offer encouragement to
the committee itself, and to save the
association the expense of collecting by
promptly remitting the money
District Visiting Work
The special object of this years sale
is to enlarge the district visiting nurse
work. Four new nurses are needed, to
reach this county, with special reference
to Birmingham, Ensley Bessemer and
other considerable towns but also cover
ing the more sparsely populated portions.
Fully $4,000 is required to meet this ex-
pense, including that of the one nurse now
employed.
Intelligent people will carefully note
that this is the most valuable service
which the association can render. The
nurse meets the patients in their homes
and suggests the means of caring for
| them without risk to other members oil
| the household. Thus the spread of the
| disease is checked at it's fountain, even II
! there is no room for the patient in The
| sanatorium. But incipient cases can also
be thus discovered and brought to the
dispensary and sanatorium If necessary.
The phoning committee has 9S MEM
bers under IA captains. Some are high
school girls who have given their entire
leisure this week to the service of the
people, Others are ladies' with social
duties. All are enthusiastic. The secre-
tary points out that the plan eliminates
the sale of the seals upon the streets,
and gives everyone an opportunity to an
ticipate the shop early" duties of De-
cember.
