cases among the civilian population has
increased immensely with the war.
tuberculosis has likewise fallen heavily
on the other nations at war.
In time Of peace "chief among the
causes of poverty" and "the disease
that kills most, tuberculosis in times
of war is doubly dangerous. The Anti
tuberculosis Associations in all the
states now need increased funds for
work among soldiers and prospective
recruits, teaching them how to avoid
tuberculosis, and among those who
remain in the factories, fields mines,
schools and homes.
The control of tuberculosis is one OF
the most important ways to conserve
the strength of the nation in the SD
preme test of this war. Every one
who is allowed to sell Red Cross Christ
mas Seals and every one who buys
them is given an opportunity to "do
his bit" in q way that counts. 1t is
patriotic service.
The Red Cross Seal sale is an edu-
cational campaign no less than means
of raising money. Everyone who takes
part in it helps to teach health as well
as to support health work, and success
gives double satisfaction.
In whatever state seals are sold, at
least ninety per cent, of the proceeds is
used for anti-tuberculosis work there.
Not over ten per cent is paid to the
American Red Cross and The National
Association for the Study and Proven
tion of tuberculosis to meet their ex-
penses in supplying seals. advertising
matter and service for the support of
their work.
In our county during the Health Sur
vey conducted by DR.. DeKleine many
cases of tuberculosis were found.
There is plenty of work to be done
right at home and it will require mon
ey to do it. From the sale of the seals
two-t thirds of the proceeds stay in the
dounty to be used in anti-tuberculosis
work, the remainder going to the state
association.
While there is no county anti-tuber-
culosis organization to take charge OF
this work, we have many individuals
who are alive to the needs of our coun-
ty along this line and are giving their
time and energy in the interests OF the
work through the sale of the seals.
If the seal campaign in our county
this year is to be all that it should be-
if it is to measure up to the magnifi-
cent opportunity for wonderful serv-
ice to humanity our own people
each and every one of us must "do our
bit" by buying the little seals.
To be success this must be the
"Big Thing" in our county from now
until Christmas, just as the Liberty
