being spent," Mr. Benson stated, "for
each student worker knows the facts
concerning the work of the Michigan
Tuberculosis Association, which the
tuberculosis Christmas seal sale supports and will be more than willing
to explain them."
Some of the work made possible
with funds raised in the annual sale,
consists of discovering cases of tiiber-'
culosis by giving thousands of persons annually the tuberculin test and
x-ray examination. When dangerous
cases of the disease are found, Christmas seal money makes every effort
possible to see that they are given
proper treatment at a state-accredited
sanatorium.
"Since 1931, when the Michigan
Tuberculosis Association began its
present program of case-finding, 56,-
000 of these tuberculin tests have
been made, financed by the seal sale
and cooperating agencies," -Mr. Benson said. 12,034 x-ray films have been
taken, in a like manner, and all told,
2,727 persons have been diagnosed as
having some type of tuberculosis.
The tuberculosis Christmas seal
sale also pays for health education,
among both children and adults, over
200,000 pamphlets having been distributed in recent years.
It is to support this work, that the
"special delivery" seal salesmen of
Clare, will give residents here the
chance to buy their share of tuberculosis Christmas seals beginning
next Friday, November 30, he eon*

HORSE TREATMENT SIGNUP MEETINGS BEGIN IN
HAMILTON TWP, MONDAY
farmers Urged to Attend Their
Nearest Demonstration.
• -      Meeting* '"'"'
Monday morning County Agent P.
D. Gibson will begin a series of sign
up meetings for the horse parasite-
control campaign. Meetings will be
held in all parts of the County so that
every farmer may have an opportunity
to hear the plan explained and sign
up to have his horses treated.
Last year although the campaign
was late, 513 horses were treated for
bots and intestinal worms. Reports
received indicate that this work will
be very popular again. i
Under the County Wide plan, all
horse owners who wish to have
animals treated sign an agreement to
this effect. When a community har
pledged a sufficient number ot horses,
a qualified veterinarian calls at each
farm and administers a capsule con-
Staining Carbon Bisulphide, which has
•proved to be very effective in controlling all internal parasites of horses.
By community .cooperation in signing;
up a lafge number of horses the
Veterinarians _ perform their services,
at a very moderate' fee of 50c per
horse, which includes the cost of the
medicine. . j
Since the treatment will start within a few days after the sign up is
completed it is very important that
very farmer, who wants the treatment applied, see to it that his name
is placed on the sign up list. If it
should be impossible to attend the
meeting near him, he should write to
the County Agent stating the number
of horses to be treated. • •
The schedule of meetings is as follows for next week:
Monday 10:00 a. m. at Hamilton
