CHRISTMAS SEALS WILL
 PROVIDE HOME PROTECTION

The Christmas seal campaign repre- scnts the effort of this community to stamp out tuberculosis. Already the death rate is being lowered. both in Connecticut and elsewhere. There were 1.11s deaths from the disease in 1915, and only 1.640 in 1919. The decrease is largely due to the preventive and educa- tioual measures financed by the Christ mas Seal Fund.
 We are now trying to clean up the dis ease in our communities as Genera Gorgas and Wood cleaned up malaria yellow fever and kindred diseases in the Philippines, the West Indies and the Ca. nal Zone We send our tuberculosis nurses or workers into the tenements, tn, factories and the schools. They searct for early and advanced suspected ant contact cases of the disease and ge them to the family doctor, possibly to z sanatorium, or surround them witt wholesome. healthful. remedial condi tons. checking and preventing the dis ease.
 To continue the work so splendidly be gun. funds must be raised by the sale O seals and Health Bonds" The appea is for the health of the community" an the trivial sum which is asked is smal in proportion to the importance of tn work to be done.
