LAST APPEAL FOR
 DRIVE MADE BY BROWN.
Goal Approximately $10,000 Off, Chairman Says-Urge
 Eleventh Hour Gifts

final appeal for contributions to the s200,0o0 tuberculosis sanitorfum campaign was issued from campaign headquarters at 319 Twentieth street, north, Friday afternoon by General Chairman R. A. Brown, who declared that with s1s0,O00 already contributed subscribed, and approximately s10,- 900 more in sight from industrial cor porations, and suburban contribu- tions, efforts will be redoubled to close the campaign by the first of next week.
 We are making our last appeal now" said General Chairman Brown, and all contributions whether large or small will be received cheerfully and so acknowledged. Many new cases of people inflicted with the dreaded tuberculosis have been callet to our attention within the last few days, and we are more determlneo than ever to complete the campaign goal and erect the projected sani- torium as a relief to those suffering from the disease, and as a protee- tion to the general public. There must be many people in Birming- ham who have failed to contribute at least a days wages to this cam paign and to those it Is the de- sire of campaign officials to inn press the fact that the purposes of this sanitorium will be to protect their best interests as much as to aid persons already suffering with the white plague.
 And now the campaign is nearing a close which must end in victory, Mir Brown reflected. of course. we still have the task of raising the remaining s10,000 or s15,000. but it Is not nearly so colossal, nor is the out look so hopeless as when we ended the first week of our campaign, at which time the campaign should have closed, and faced the prospective de- ficit of $100,000 which has only been wiped out by the hardest kind of work on the part of those engaged in the campaign, and their patroitic, and unselfish devotion to the task to which they set themselves. To those far as their finances would permit, we have only the most sincere Checks Continue To Come.
