Quota Of S, ,OOO Set
 To Continue Efforts
 To Aid Local Patients
Campaign Formally Opened Thanksgiving Day; 10000 Letters Mailed Today; Health Officer God-
 frey Pays Tribute to Splendid Work Here

With $5,OOO oficially set as the de- sired quota here, the Anti Tubercu- losis league of Waterbury has launched its annual Christmas seal campaign for the necessary funds to carry on its magnificent fight against tuberculosis.
 Oficial records show that the number of waiting cases" locally is exceptionally large. They are wait ing their turn for admission to one of the state institutions. In the meanwhile they will need constant medical care. The work of checking and Investigating all potential cases also involves expenses which the league is naturally unable to assume to any great proportions.
 The campaign started yesterday. Some 10000 letters were in the mail today, appealing for support. The little Christmas seals will be placed by Waetrburians on their mail and parcels from now until the Christ mas holidays have passed. It is ex- pected that Waterbury will do its share in buying the 100000 seals as- signed here.
 Health officials, state and local, have commended the splendid work of the local league. Today Health Officer Dr. Edward J. Godfrey com- mented on the great humanitarian work of the league and supplied figures no the local death rate. His remarkes were as follows:

 The burglary was committed while Domingos was out of the shop for little more than an hou r late Tuesday night. He sleeps on the premsies, he said, and when he returned late Tuesday he found that the place had been broken into.
 A rear door was forced open by the thieves, and they apparently took the clothing away in an auto- mobile.

The Anti-Tuberculosis League of Waterbury is one of the great est humanitarian organizations in this country today. Their work in providing for the sick, in educat- ing people regarding tuberculosis and in helping to prevent its spread is invaluable to the medical profession and to the general public.
 The nationwide sale of Christ mas seals-started in this country in 1908-marked the beginning of a definite line of attack against tuberculosis. In Waterbury the eff feet of this campaign is shown in the following figures:
 In 1900 the death rate from tu- berculosis in the city of Waterbury was 240 per 100000 population in 1886 the rate was only 39 per 100000 population.
 The leagues most important con- tribution in this war against tu- berculosis is the service afforded to local physicians and to the pub lie by the weekly chest clinic con- ducted by Dr. Cole B. Gibson of the Undercliff sanitorium at Meri- den. This service includes tuber- culin testing, X-rays and labora- tory tests of sputurh.

The X-ray is very important in the diagnosis of tuberculosis and in confirming the findings of the physical examination made by the family physicians. The X-ray often detects the disease in the early stage before marked outward symptoms appear, enabling the patient to receive prompt treat- ment. The X-ray is important to the returned sanatorium case since he must be checked periodically for some time to come.
 X-ray examinations must be made too of the families of any active tuberculosis patient-to find if they have become infected with the disease.
 For X-rays a charge is made if the patient is able to pay even small amount. Where this can- not be afforded, the league pays from the seal sale funds. In the home the patient is instructed what means to use to prevent spreading the disease. The family is also taught what precautions to take. The patient must be con- fined to a room of his own-dishes, bedding and toilet articles must be kept separate and properly cared for. Paper boxes or paper napkins must be used to receive the sputum coughed up-then must be burned.
 Milk and other supplementary food is provided by, or through the league, as are comfortable rest chairs and beds.
 The league continually carries on an educational campaign-im- pressing upon the public various facts concerning the prevention of tuberculosis, the necessity for early and continued treatment and the importance of sanatorium care. Heretofore it was the be- lief that to be placed in a sana- torium was last resort, but for- tunately, the idea is becoming more prevalent that it is a place where patients go to be cured, not to die. There was a time, too, when the average person believed that to contract tuberculosis meant to die. The patient gave up in despair-sometimes giving up the will to live. The patients family also became panic strick- en and neglected to give and take the proper care.
 Now, thanks to the educational work fostered by the sale of Christmas seals, such conditions are rare.
 Protect Your Home from Tu- berculoSis," the slogan of the 1888 Christmas seal, should inspire every one to do his or her share, remembering that no contribution is too small. none greater than the need.
 Buy the traditional Christmas seal and avail yourself of the op- portunity to assist in wiping out tuberculosis in Waterbury.
