TO FIGHT CONSUMPTION AMONG INDIGENT NEGROES j State Tuberculosis Association Is Raising Fund to Establish Col ored Sanatorium. ! i REl) CROSS SEALS NOW OX SALE I Campaign Workers Find It Necessary | to Explain That Receipts From Sale of Christmas Seals Are Not for llelgiau Relief. ? The Christmas sale or Red Cross , seals began in the stores yesterday. ] j The demand on the first day of the I season was good, indicating more than ordinary interest in this great work of ' mercy and charity. Campaign work ers, however, found It necessary from 1 the opening hour to explain to In- I qulrers that the Ked Cross seal re- ; ceipts are not intended for the Bel 1 glan relief fund, hut for the light ? against tuberculosis. The sale of seals began slrhultane ! ously In all the cities and towns of Virginia. There are moro than 200 j i charity workaro directing the cam | palgn In the different cities and towns of the State. The State Antituberculosis Assocla i Hon. of which Miss Agnes P. Ran ! dolph, of Richmond, la executive I secretary, plans with the funda raised .this winter from the sale of the seals ] to aid in the movement to establish ! a tuberculosis sanatorium for indigent ; negroes and to place a nurse In the ? field who will do community work in j those communities where tuberculosis I is claiming its heaviest toll. In the ? cities and towns where the seals are sold In sufficient numbers 50 per cent ? of the proceeds will go to local tuber ! culosls relief and in most cities to the j special work of visiting nurses. 1 STATIC nOAUD OF III2AI.TH HEPORTS ON TIT I1EHCU L.OSIS The State Hoard of Health has is sued the first complete statistics show ing the number of deaths from tuber ' culosls in the last year. The figures [ show 3,091 deaths?1,158 more than ! from organic 'heart disease, the next | most frequent cause of death, i According to the figures, tubefculosls in all its l'orms causes 12.1 per cent of all deaths in Virginia and ranks well ahead cf every other cause of death in the standard classification. The tuber culosis death rate in Virginia Is 168.6 per 100,000 oi' population, as compared with a rate of 149.5 In those sections of the country from which the Census Bureau collects the statistics of what j Is known as the registration area. A striking, though not unexpected, j feature of the statistics is the appalling I mortality of tuberculosis among the ne I groos of the State. The white death | rate from all forms of tuberculosis is | 119.5, while the negro rate Is 270.5, the i 100,000 of population. The rates for i consumption, tubcrciyosis of the lungs, j are 103.1 for the wluteB and 243.5 for ( the negroes. In ten Virginia cities, for I which complete statistic*) are Issued I by the State board, the white rate from j consumption Is 102.2, while the negro | rate reaches 316.5. SITUATION DEMANDS roi'1'l..tn CAMPAIGN "These figures," says the State Hoard of Health in .Its weekly bulletin, "give i some indication of the t reniv-.idous de i maud on the people of Virginia for a moro extensive fight against consump tion. Health officials are. laboring with limited facilities In carrying on a pop-, ular campaign against this disease, but j they need the help of citizens' associa tions in every part of tho State. "There must he adequate provision for the consumptives, and Jtiorc institu tions for their care, else we cannot hope to stop the ravages of this dis ease. The negroes arc dying from cob sumption as from no other disease, and are certainly infecting a large number of whites. The Virginia Antitubercu losis Association, which Is raising funds through the sale of the Christ mas sea Is, Is directing organization In thu State, and deserves the fullest measure of popular support. ICvery one, should use the R?-d Cross Christmas seals, if for 110 other purpose than to express sympathy with the.crusad" against the worst disease with which We have to contend." ORDER HAS BEEN OBEYED Telephone Conipniiien In KoekltHdge County Connect Tlielr I.lnea. I Cleric Richard T. Wilson, of the State Corporation Commission, has advised 1 the manager of the I.exlngton Mutual ; Teleuhone Company that , the rule Is sued a few days ago l>y the commis sion, directing officers of that company to appear and show cause why they should not be fined for contempt In ret using to comply with an order pre viously issued, will be held In abey ; unco for a reasonable time, but the [ company will be held for such costs as ; have been incurred in the Issuance of I the rule. J The reason for reconsideration is that the manager of the telephone com ! l?uny communicated with the clerk of ' t lie Corporation Commission before'the rule was served on him, declaring that ; the order directing his- company to I make connection with the lines of the j Rockbridge Mutual Telephone Com- j , pany had betMi obeyed promptly. He as ! sured the clerk that any report to the (contrary received by the commission was sin founded. The commission acted , upon complaints that came In from subscribers after the time allowed to i make the connection had expired. The! j matter is now under Investigation. j Hold Alleged Fugitive.
