An Appeal for
EurOpe's Starving

Tomorrow. December 10. churches
OF all races and creeds in the United
States will join with Herbert Hoover,
OF the European Relief Council in the
launching of a national collection of
S33 100000 for the undernourished and
diseased children of Eastern and Gem
trail Europe.
Three and one-half millions. Mr..
Hoover estimates. are so seriously
starved that only the continuance OF
the American feeding stations through
out the coming winter will save them.
For at least 100000 immediate med
ical care is imperative More than
1000 asylums. hospitals. clinics and
public kitchens are dependent on
American support
The chield relief program is spon-
sored by eight OF the largest charit-
able ORGANIZATIONS in the country that
have united for the purposes of the
emergency. They are: The American
Relief ADMINISTRATION, the American
Red Cross, the American Friends
Service Committee, the Federal Coun-
Gil OF the Churches of Christ in Amer

Committee. the KNIGHTS of Co umbus.

,ly Christmas
Seals Today

tuberculosis Christmas seals can be
purchased almost anywhere in Canon
City and they should be used on every
letter, postcard and parcel that is
mailed here during the holiday sea-
son. They are sold for the purpose
of deriving money to fight the White
Plague, one Of the most insidious and
destructive diseases known to man
kind. Every Christmas saal sold
contributes its mite to restricting the
ravages of tuberculosis. AS Dean
Swift once declared in charity SER
mon: "If you like the security come
down with the dust"
tuberculosis kills producers-chief-
ly men and women between the ages
of Is and As.
1t claims workers-active men and
women in the homes. the Office and
the shop.
1t causes 10000 deaths in the
United States every year.
1t costs the United States in dol
lars and cents about $500, 900 900 an
nually. More than 100000 persons
in this country are suffering from ac-
tive tuberculosis right now.
Most of this waste could be pre-
vented.
tuberculosis menaces every COM
munity. every home and every indi-
vidual.
And yet it is durable and prevent
able.
1t is spread largely by ignorance.
carelessness and neglect.
The National tuberculosis Assocla-
ton and its 1900 affiliated state and
local organizations wage a continuous
winning war on tuberculosis.
The work of these organizations is
financed chiefly by the sale of Tuber-
culosis Christmas seals.
Buy and use tuberculosis Christmas
seals.
