Year after year, we receive ihat letter. Wo send our money. We do this because we know lliut something worthwhile Is bolng done with our money. Few of us, though, lake an active Interest In How our money Is spent to combat one of our most dreadful enemies? tuberculosis. The horror of tuberculosis Is fading gradually. Thai Is enough for mom of tin. We read each year of the declining death rate. Perhaps. we oven know the fact that the death rate from tuberculosis among people of all ages has been out threefourths since 11107 the llrst year of the Heal Sale. We have forgotten the despair thai once struck uh whenever we heard the verdict?consumption. Wo know now that tuberculosis, if discovered in time, can be cured. We know that the >f-ray can find early tubetoulosls In time to cure it. This year, as In other years recently, the tuberculosis associations are asking ns to do one more thing In addition to giving our dollars. Thulr request Is reasonable. Their having to make such a request Is Ironical. They are forced ^pbsk lis to drop our attitude of complacency toward tuberculosis, (treat though the victories of the past lire, tuberculosis is not under control In this country. It is our lives and our children's lives the tuberculosis associatons are flgthing for. More poisons between the ages of l.r> and 4") are killed by tuberculosis than by any other disease. And those are the young, active productive years of life. Sixty-four thousand persons died of tuberculosis last yoar. That means that the disease killed i7R parsons a day, or one j>erson every eight minutes. So tho eradication of tuberculosis cannot yet be taken complacently. It can be eradicated. It will be eradicated-?if we continue to regard the disease as a deadly enemy Unit can be forced out of this country through the eomblm*d efforts of scientists, medical men. health departments, tuberculcsls associations and every single individual In this country. Wo are fairly warned this yoar that if our own money must he used to fight our own indifference and complacency toward a deadly enemy of ours, as well as used to tight tho enemy itself, complete victory will be delayed interminably. We must restore moaning to .Christmas Seals. We must consider thom as the symbols of the 'financial I*ower that Is imperative to free ourselves ami our children from a deadly scourge that, as yet, we have not conquered.
