The tuberculosis Christmas
Seal Sale

December 1st opened the 1921
Christmas Tuberculosis Seal Sale
For thirteen years the Christmas
Seal Sale has been employed, not
only as revenue producer for
promoting the work of the Anti.
tuberculosis League, but also to.tix
attention ON the fact that Tuber.
culosis is a contagious but durable
and preventable disease. L h is
disease takes annually, in the
United States, 100. 900 lives at the
cost of $50O,O00.000.
The 1920 campaign has, beside
its educational purposes, the es-
adjustment of the nucleus of a
State tuberculosis Hospital on the
land near Alexandria, held in trust
by the Louisiana tuberculosis
Commission.
If all the Parishes will unite and
recognize that from the standpoint
of contagion, human and econo-
mic waste, a State tuberculosis
HOSPITAL IS Louisiana's Greatest
Need, by the time the Legislature
convenes our state will be in line
with the rest of the union in cut
ting short the career of the great
white plague.
The plan agreed upon calls for
every home, to purchase $l.OO
worth of seals and to display thu
sign of the international cross as
witness that that home is recruit
ed in war against tuberculosis.
Every automobile owner will be
asked to buy a windshield cross
as an advertisement, to proclaim
himself in war against the dreaded
disease.
The Editor hopes that every
home and every auto in the parish
o. Natchitoches will display the
sign of the Lorraine Cross, for
I'm THIS SERVICE WE CON-
QUER". Our Parish Gu ,ta,
which is only $12OO.0O can readily
be raised il every individual in
the parish approaching the sig
nificance of tuberculosis will bear
m mind but three things-they
can help, they should help, they
must help.
