It is, of course commonly known that general hospitals are not permitted to receive tuberculosis cases. Readers will remember that at it's last session. the Alabama Legislature provided small income for the tuberculosis com mission, which will enable that organ ization to get down to work next month with a field agent whose first business it will be to create the neces- sary hospital in Jefferson county"
 "A word should be added in appre- citation of the splendid cooperation of the Federation of Women's Clubs, brought about this year not only in Jefferson, but in every county of the state" Mrs. Ledbetter said. Also of the loyal support of the board of edu- cation and Superintendent Phillips, with all principals and teachers as well as of pr. Baker and his associates in the county schools, by which the Mod ern Health Crusade is deeply en- trenched. Furthermore, the Red Cross in it's civilian relief committee from the first has generously collaborated and will continue to do so under peace conditions. This will sometimes mean valued assistance in the care of in- digent patients at Red Mountain"
 Tn conclusion Mrs. Ledbetter said:
 "One other thing. With the seals this year, Health Bonds are offered for sale. The seal has approached the end of it's mission. It has awakened thou sand of careless and selfish citizens to interest and zeal More money must be had and the bond with definite 'cou- pons' or pledges of definite service, should be bought freely.N They are in denominations of from $5 to $100. Sure ly a gilt-edged investment"

Ledbetter. The Alabama league Is now employing Miss Fleta McWhorter entirely in the business of promoting that crusade, which produces enthusi- astic health workers even among chill dren and third grades. Of equal im- portance is the increasing number of visiting nurses of whom it is hoped to employ not less than four, one of whom will be engaged in intensive care of selected section, of the coun- ty, making the census of tuberculosis thorough and dealing with the situa- tion in a comprehensive manner It has already been found necessary to supply this department with a Ford car, enabling Miss Clement to reach distant portions of the county and to bring into the clinic whole families for examination. Equal intensity of service must be rendered to the areas occupied chiefly by negroes; growth in this direction has already been marked. The next point in the new programme involves special devotion to early cases, so far as Red Mountain santa rum is concerned. In order to bring this about, advanced cases must be re- moved to suitable quarters
 This will be provided under the law administered by the tuberculosis com mission, and an early statement may be looked for in that direction. AL ways the education work grows more and more urgent. In 1920 clinical serv- ice will be carried to the bedside of every deserving case, and dispensary groups arranged where needed, by req son of long distance from the main dis pensary on Avenue F. This is the best kind of social education. A com prehensive exhibit system is also planned It is evident that with the enormous increase of work contem- plated in this programme, great in- crease of expense is inevitable - not less than $50,o00 will be. necessary to carry out the associations share, en- tirely apart from the hospital for ad- vanced cases, which must be an early achievement of the tuberculosis com mission"
 Undoubtedly Jefferson county pre- sents the most commanding claim for such an institution" Mrs. Ledbetter said. Group hospitals may be ar ranged for other counties. The popu- lation here creates distinct problem.

 In speaking of the great need of funds to fight this dread disease and to which the funds accruing from the Red Cross Christmas Seals are devoted, Mrs. Ledbetter said yesterday:
 "The picture is now becoming fa- miliar of family led by husband and father, shutting the door on tuber- eulosis.
