The annual campaign for raising money to be used for the cure and prevention of tuberculosis will take place this month, and it is hoped that there will be a prompt re sponse by tty people generally when they receive this appeal which is to he used for good purposes. It is a ell established fact that if tuber culosis patients, -eceive the proper and attention in the early sta ges of the disease that they can be cured, and the money will be used for this purpose. The 1931 sale of seals in this county will be conducted largely through the mails, and letters will be mailed to residents at «n early date. It is customary to send 200 s- als with each letter for expc- has taught that this seems to be the most generally accepted number. Besides this number can be sent for no more expense than a I os? -r amount. A stamped return envelope is enclosed for convenience in <e'uming payi lent. The committee has no intention of suggesting the amount anyone is to give to the tuberculosis campaign but sends this number os the most convenient amount. This is a wel fare campaign in which even smallest contribution can be veniently made by detaching the number of seals one feels able to buy and returning the payn therefor with the unused seal.- the enveloDe provided for the pur pose. Also he who is willing and able to do may enclose an addition- able to do more may enclose an addi tional contribution than merely pay ment for the seals. The service rendered by tubercu losis committees all over the coun try is of utmost importance and value. This is evidenced by the great improvement made in Georgia and throughout the United States sinc< such committees began to sell thesi seals and with the funds realized thereby to carry on a campaign against this greatest foe of youth. In the United States the death rate has declined from 202 per hundred thousand population in 1900 to 76 in 1929. la Georgia the number of deaths from tuberculosis each year has decreased from 2613 in 1922 to 2175 in 1930.
