IMPORTANCE STRESSED

ITO bring before the public the
facts regarding the cause, treat
ment, and prevention of tubercu-
losis is as important a health OBJ
jective today as it was in 1905
when DR.. Edward Livingston Tru-
deau, founder of the first tubercu-
losis sanatorium in this country,
spoke before the first annual meet
ing of the National tuberculosis
Association and outlined this as the
major objective" says DR.. Edwin
Cameron, executive secretary OF
the State Board of Health, in dis
cussing the work of Delaware's S
Anti-Tuberculosis Society. The ex-
tent of the disease is indicated by
the fact that reports show 1,055
cases in the state now.
Gives Society Credit
DR.. Cameron gives much credit
to the socitey for aid in reducing
the tuberculosis death rate and as
sures Delawareans that the money
they send in to pay for theil
Christmas seals proves most help
full in assisting with the tubercu.
losis control work of the State
Board of Health. Returns from
the gay little penny seals distribut.
ed by the society have maintained

cessible. microscopes numbering
zoos have aided with diagnosis Of
the disease, which claimed the lives
of 119 persons in Delaware during
1914. Complete reports for 194s
are not yet cimpiled.
Case Registers Installed
Christmas Seal funds also fl
nanced the initial cost of equip
ment in the installation of tuber
culosis case registers in STATE

home Gamers at this time of year.
The stamp is to be the last to be
issued this year for home canning. 1t

to be good for five pounds of home
canning sugar through October 81,
