The Chris mas Seal Sale.
What is it for? It is first of all, an
Educational movement. Not merely
to seil seals, but to sell health. When
peop'e learn to think, then will they
begin to serve. Every seal we buy to
to st'ek on letters, smt packages, is a
help toward the cure anti prevention of
Tuberculosis.
When we teach children to keep
their bodies clean, to keep in the fresh
air and «un nine -as much as possible;
eat clean and nourishing food and to
learn health habits, we are helping to
stamp Tuberculosis. The greatest in
fant morta ity is among the colored
people. Thu majority of active Tuber
culosis cases are found among young
adult* between the ages of 15 and 35
years.
Tuberculosis is an infectious disease
caused by germs-without the germ
there never can be infection or Tuber
culosis. The germ is given by partic
les trown olf when coughing, or sneez
ing, or from du*t. The The National
Tuberculosis Association, of which we
are a part, has asked Massac County
for $1500.00 this veor, as our share to
wards this Se»I Sale. The association
gizes us 70 per cent of the money for
use in controlling the spread of this
ditease in our county, fha balance
of the money is to go to the Associa
tion to wads research work and pre
paring and sending ail the posters,
stamps, or seals and bonds-also adver
Using matter, all of which costs money
and wiihout which we cannot work in
intelligently. With the money we
get. we hope to hire a nurse to io >k af
ter our School children, send all who
have tubercular symptoms to a physi
cian—have ciinics and dispensaries.
Wont you buy seals? Sell seals. Keep
up the fight.

Many rega> ded him as being the
logical successor of Dr. Morris.
He was a strong contender for the
Presidency during the recent Con

L. K Williams of Chicago by on

It was generally believed that
the strain caused by the disap

trip aff cted him greatly.
