a shout, and through confused
babble comes the long awaited an
nOuncement:
"The general is waiting, boys "

Annual Christmas
Seal Sale

With the opening of the twenty
eighth annual Christmas Seal Sale
scheduled for Thanksgiving Day, the
Maryland tuberculosis Association
and it's affiliated branches have COM
pleted plans to send out more than
100000 direct mail appeals through
out the STATE.
The Christmas Seal this year has
been designed in commemmoration
of the fiftieth anniversary of the
opening of the one-room cottage that
became the nucleus of the entire
sanatorinm movement in the United
States. DR.. Edward Livingston
Trudeau erected the sanatorium at
Saranac Lake in 1885. The Christ
mas Seal this year shows picture
of the Little Red as the cottage is
known.
In commenting upon the Seal Sale,
William B. Matthews, Managing Di-
rector of the Maryland tuberculosis
Association said, much has been
accomplished in the campaign
against tuberculosis since the first
Christmas Seal was sold in 1907.
During that time the death rate from
tuberculosis has been cut by more
than sixty per cent and many thou
sands of lives have been saved or
prolonged. tuberculosis, today, Is
still major health problem and ac-
counts for more deaths between the
ages of Is and As than any other
disease. 1t is estimated that nine
million children under Is years of
age in the United States today are
infected with the germs of tubercu-
losis. These children may be pro-
tected, however, by safeguards
which are made possible by the an
nual Christmas Seal Sale"
The activities of the tuberculosis
Association in Maryland include the
work at the Miracle House at Clai-
borne, Maryland, which has been
ventorium for children who have
been living in contact with tubercu-
losis. Another activity Of the Asso-
citation which was started in 1924 is
the system of statewide free chest
clinics. These clinics have been at
tended by more than 10000 Mary
landers. Christmas Seals also help
to maintain year-round health edu-
cation program and assistance in
medical research. The campaign
will continue until Christmas.
