Let's "do our pact", Tfcls tS no time to slow down In the campaign against tubercu losis. The time to press a fight the harder Is when you are gain ing on the enemy or when you find the enemy weakening. Then we know that the lack' of proper food and sufficient nourishment makes the human body less re sistant to infectious diseases In general and particularly tubercu losis, and that is another import ant reason why we should presj the Bght against tuberculosis at this time. So long as tuberculosis is id a community no one, rich or poor can be guaranteed security against it. The danger is greater the more closely one Is exposed to one who has tuberculosis in a stage where the bacillus is ejected. Therefore infection in the home where some one has it, be it father of mother, sister or brother, aunt, grand, parent or maid, is much more certain than when the exposure Is only casual, and with the close exposure in the home 80 per cent on the av erage contract the disease and sometimes every member (100 per cent) of the household. Thanks to tne Seal Sale, we now know how to find the infection )n chil dren before it has done any harm and prevent It from making the patient 111. The fight against tuberculosis is everybody's fight and the an nual sale of Tuberculosis Christ mas Seals from Thanksgiving to Christmas gives every one their opportunity, if we "do our part." The elimination of tuberculoeU is a winning fight. We now have sufficient knowledge to make this an accomplished fact. All we need is sufficient funds.
