MAS SEALS GO ON SALE TODAY Tuberculosis Can Be Elimi nated in Pennsylvania in Ten Years if Public Sup ports State, Says Chairman E. J. Stackpole; Disease Is Greater Foe to Humanity Than the Hun PROCEEDS TO STAY AT HOME Sale of Christmas Red Cross j Seals and Health Bonds Begins ! to-day. i Christmas Seals sell for one 1 cent each. Health Bonds sell In denomi nations from $5 to SIOO. Proceeds are used to fight tu berculosis and improve the pub lic health. Each community retains 77'/4 • per cent, of the money raised for carrying on an educational and preventative campaign, estab lishing the Modern Health Cru sade in schools, making tubercu losis survey, looking after tuber culosis soldiers, showing value of open air schools and co-operating with the State Department of Health. Pennsylvania can be freeel ffom the menace of tuberculosis in the next ten if the public will only co-operate with the State authori ties and the private agencies doing tuberculosis work, says State Chair man E. J. Stackpole, of the Christ mas Seal Sales Committee, Jn an ap peal to the public to make the seal sale starting to-day a success. The tragedy of tuberculosis, with its annual death toll of 10,000 per sons in this State, says Mr. Stack pole, is that it is a preventable dis ease. Wipe out insanitary housing conditions, guard against malnutri tion, provide for prompt treatment at the first sign of the disease and tuberculosis will be conquered. Mr. Stackpole qalls attention to the fact that the members of the American Legion are among those who are most active in the fight against tu berculosis, because- they have had the menace of the disease brought directly home to them. "With the demobilization of the American Army," says Mr. Stack pole, "there has come a prompt mo bilization of returned soldiers to combat an even greater foe to hu manity than the Hun. Sixty-nine thousand men who were the vic tims of tuberculosis without the knowledge of the health authori ties, were rejected by local draft boards in the United States. Upon reaching camp 2 3,000 more were rejected for the same cause. Of this total 9,000 at least were Pennsylva nians. "Pennsylvania is organizing for a campaign against tuberculosis that is to include every county. The bat tle is t° continue until the white plague is beatery The Christmas Seal is the insignia of those who have entered the contest. The seal sale is under the auspices of the Pennsylvania Society for the Pre vention of Tuberculosis, which finds j its chief work in educational prop- j aganda. Three-fourths of the money each community devotes to seals and , Health Bonds "remains there to bet- j ter health conditions. "The Christmas Seal Campaign is ; not only of particular interest to the children, but it is essentially a cam- | paign launched in their behalf. The j Christm'as Seal shows Santa Claus | printed in red with white fringe on | his outfit and a white beard, stand- i ing with a full pack at the top Of a j chimney. The children know what it means when Santa Claus comes down the chimney, and the Beal is a link in the work of training them toward better health habits. "Tuberculois is a preventable dis ease. The scourge of the centuries could be conquered in a generation if the public were intelligently en 'listed in the fight. "The Christmas Seal sale has been endorsed by Governor Sproul and by Col. Edward Martin, his Commissioner of Health. The Granges are supporting the move ment. The members of the Amer ican Legion are active in the bat tle. The volunteer firemen are also interested in it. In addition prac tically every fraternal organization in the State has pledged its co-oper ation. , . "There can be no armistice in the war upon tuberculosis. The battle can end only when the white plague is conquered. All can help win the victory. The larger the army the sooner the victory. "All can fight in their home sec tors by helping the sale of Christ mas Seals. The word that comes from every section of the State is profoundly encouraging. Pennsyl vania will put over a record sale of the Christmas Seal. The battle lines are drawn. The word to every one is 'Enlist in the fight.' Help the seal sale." X- Revival Opens at Riverside M. E.
