Committee of Thirteen Named
to Exploit Sale Of Christ

CLARENDON. Va, Dec. 10.-A
committee of thirteen has been named
in Arlington county by the Virginia
Tuberculosis Association to carry on

to raise funds with which to battle

In a letter addressed to members
of the committee the association calls
attention to the fact that $500 died
last year from tuberculosis In Vir.

The letter further says:

citation In able to finance its fight
against tuberculosis, and In one of
the best methods by which local
organizations affiliating with II may
raise money for nurses, clinics and
relief work among those suffering
from the disease.
THE problem that the tuberculosis
movement seeks to solve IL a four.
fold one:
Il. To discover the disease in its
early stage.
"2. To provide care and treatment
for those who have the disease.
%. To prevent those who are in
fected with II from breaking down
with active tuberculosis.
-. To control the spread Of infec-
ton from those who have Il to those
who do not have II.
"Ninety-five per cent Of the money
raised through the sale Of seals re-
mains in Virginia; the other per
cent goes to the rational association,
which uses It in cooperative work,
Of which Virginia receives a share.
"Seventy-five per cent Of the
money raised in the county stays in
the county and is used for continuing
the work in the county.
President Harding in letter to
the managing director Of tho National
