Of course, in line with other organ- izations of this sort, disbursing a public fund, it is customary at cer- tain times of the year to publish a statement of the financial budget and a program Of work; but in a less formal way we should like to explain in what our activities consist. We find that there is a good deal of mis- understanding on this subject; both in letters received with the mails, sale of the seals and in personal comment, we often meet with such remarks as this: "I am very glad to contribute to this cause. I like to h£lp_jhfi..pQ0X. sick people," or, "I believe that your sanatorium is a good thing and I wish to aid it." This expresses the general public idea of tuberculosis work. Prevention First U»e This idea is altogether erroneous. Your Christmas seal money does not go to support a sanatorium. It goes, only in very limited measure, to "help the poor sick people." Its chief use is for PREVENTION. The anti- tuberculosis program is almost ident- ical with a general public health pro- gram. Following the rules of hygiene, living in such a way as to avoid dis- ease in general is exactly the routine prescribed for either the cure or the prevention of tuberculosis. So our activities comprehend all the phases of any public health undertaking. Naturally, the work divides itself under two headsâ€"cure and preven- tion. At the mention of the word "tuberculosis," the natural thought is cure; but as a matter of fact, the preventive is very much the larger portion of our work. We do not neglect the curative side, of course; it is very important and must be at- tended to. iBut if that were our limit, tuberculosis would never be wiped out; and it is the ambition of the National Tuberculosis Association and its branches eventually to elim- inate tuberculosis in the United States, just as yellow fever has been wiped out in Central America. _ To^ many this sounds visionary, but in the eyes of science it is a possible thing, and we believe that it is a highly probable thing, although it means long, hard, and concerted effort. In the last twelve years, however, the death rate from tuberculosis in organized terri- tories has been reduced one-half. With such a record as this, we are encouraged to keep right on until the otner one half has been added. This4 can be done only by preventive meas- ures, the chief of which is education. If all spitting were under control, tuberculosis would be conquered. When all human surroundings are sanitary, this disease will not long be a problem.

Sachs is superin- tendent, a doctor, a crusade director, a publicity director, a placement bu- reau director, a custodian of proper- ty, a supervisor of nurses, two assist- ant supervisors, and 17 trained public health nurses; an office secretary, and from four to ten typists and clerical helpers varying with the work at dif- ferent seasons; these make up the ex- ecutive staff. Film, "Stream of Life," To Be Shown in Village The photoplay, "The Stream of Life," is to be presented at the First Methodist Episcopal church of Wilmette at 4:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon, February 18. There is to be no charge for this show- ing, although a collection will be taken to defray the expense involved, it is an- nuonced. . , , , This photoplay, it is reported, evoked favorable comment a few years ago at a showing in Des Moines, la., before the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church. The film is said to be of interest alike to children and adults. Zero Wave Nips Plants in the Weiland Florist Shop _Tuesdax_night's terriJL compamed one oi the coldest spells of the winter, seriously interfered with the Valentine's Day preparations at the Weiland Florist shops at 1161 Wilmette avenue. A door, blown open by the storm, converted the place into a refrig- erator, with the result that about^ 100 potted plants were fatally "nipped." The Weiland greenhouses were in a rush Wednesday morning to fill the Valentine's day orders. Read Want Ads WE DO OUR OWN LENS GRINDING It is a very important branch of our optical business.
