in humans. You know the charge is
often made that farmers think more
of 'their cattle than they think of
people. While I don't think this, is
at all true, it is up to us to show by
acts that it is not true.
There is great, interest in tuber
culosis among cattle, and properly
so, but there should be even greater
interest in tuberculosis among people
The farmers of the county should
help in the fight against the white
plague, since the statistics show that
the farmers suffer almost as much
'from this disease as the people in
the cities, in spite of the natural ad
vantages of pure air and out-of-door
life
What can the farmers do? They
can do this as a beginning: They
can help along the big Christmas
Red Ci 'Oss Seal Sale that is being
put on through Michigan by the Mich
igan Anti- Tuberculosis Association.
The State Association is trying to
sell 15,000,000 one cent seals, that
are to be used on the reverse side of
holiday letters during December.
In this way the State Association is
trying to collect 15,000,000 pennies
with which to flght Juberculosis in all
the 83 counties of the State during
1920, Van Buren County included.
If the sale is to be a success, every
person will have to do his share.
The State Association has it figured
out that it will mean buying five
Christmas Seals for every man,
woman and child in the state. But
since there are a lot of babies and
indigent persons who can't buy, it is
perhaps better to figure on each per
son buying ten or fifteen cents worth
or as much as possible to make up
for those who can't buy.
Have you got fifteen cents worth
of interest in fighting tuberculosis
here and throughout Michigan? If
so, help the Seal Sale along. It will
be held from December 1st, to De
cember 10th.
