Health Bonds sell In denomi

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."
