CHRISTMAS SEAL
 SALE TO AID IN ANTI-
 TUBERCULOSIS WORK

| The annual Christmas Seal Sale for the purpose of securing funds for the Arizona ti-Tuberculosis asso- citation and it's branch county societies is under organization throughout the state of Arizona. This announce ment comes from MT. T. C. Cuvellier, executive secretary of the state asso- citation, who is acting as campaign manager for the sale. Thirty thous- and dollars for tuberculosis work in Arizona during 1921 is the goal for which the campaign workers are striv- ing this December. Local committees will be organized in every city and town in the state and every resident of Arizona will be given an opportun- | ity to purchase few Christmas Seals at one cent each. For those who wish to make more substantial contribu- | tion to the cause there will be health bonds printed in values of $5, $1O, $25, $50 and S100.
 The aims of the Arizona Anti-Tu- berculosis association for 1921 are an- nounced as follows:
 To seek to provide enough more sanatolium and hospital beds to ac- commodate every consumptive needing such care; to follow up all cases of tuberculosis; to provide public health nurses with a prOperaries and con- sulting experts to assist physicians in the early discovery and occupation for arrested cases; to provide wherever possible dispensaries for patients dis charged from sanatoria to prevent re- lapses and to provide suitable knowl- edge of tuberculosis in every commun- { ity to give home care and instruction to all cases of tuberculosis needing it {; to establish open air schools or fresh air classes and preventoriums for all children needing such special care; to urge the importance of thorough ex- animation of all school children for tuberculosis and other physical de- fects; to further organize community effort to control tuberculosis by se- curing adequate legislation and all other provision necessary; to educate all communities by literature, exhib- it's, lectures and publicity regarding the nature, treatment and prevention of tuberculosis; to seek by the intro duction of the modern health crusade to train all school children in correct health habits; and to endeavor to per- suade employers of labor and work ing men and women of the economic value of periodic medical examination as means of health conservation.
 A recent tuberculosis survey of Ari- zona made by survey nurses revealed the fact that work of this nature is much needed in Arizona because of the large number of tuberculous cases coming to Arizona and who are with out funds with which to provide them selves with necessities for their own care or for the protection of others against infection by these cases them selves. In many communities the crowded housing conditions only add to the problem of preventing the spread of the infection and this makes it doubly important that provision be made for adequate supervision and instruction of such cases. That there are over three thousand children di- rectly exposed to tuberculosis infec- tion by intimate contact with active cases was one finding of the tubercu- losis survey made by the state asso- citation in cooperation with the state board of health. | The sale of the tuberculosis Christ mas Seals will be extended from De- cember 1st to 18th in Arizona. Seals will be placed on sale, however, the last week in November so that mer- chants may secure them in time to place on their statements mailed De- cember 1st.
