By George Martin, (United Prew Staff Correapondent.) NEW YORK, March 5. The Na tional Tuberculosis Association an nounced today that the holiday Bale of Red Cross Christmaa seals had raised $1,000,000 tor the tuberculo sis campaign.

The association Is proud of the fact that the slogan of the compatgi "one seal tor every Inhabitant of the United States," has been realized. The sale last fall amounts to a vol untary tax of one cent tor each man, women and child In the country, ex cept the insular possessions. Seals were sold In every state and territory of the United States ex cept Guam, Tahiti and Samoa. Count ing the school children who sold Boals numbering approximately 300,- 000, the total number ot agents ap proaches 600,000. This includes school teachers, mer chants, store keepers, and profes sional men. The association says the little Christmas tokens have been respons ible, not only for the control of tuber culosis, but also tor tremendous ad vances in the whole field of public health work. Open windows the whole year through are today the rule rather than the exception. Tuberculosis is today generally recognized as curable and preventable, while ten years ago a vaBt number of people still held to the theory that It was Inherited, in curable and unpreventable.
