QUARTER OF COUNTY’S QUOTA RAISED. 

Reports from the Albany County Christmas Seal campaign headquarters in the Albany Chamber of Commerce indicate that nearly one quarter of the quota of $22,500 has been raised, as Wednesday the return from the mail appeal had gone over the $5,000 mark. 

George William McEwan, the county chairman, urges every one throughout the county who has received the letters containing the stamps to make their return in the enclosed stamped envelope as soon as possible. 

The fight against tuberculosis is not a skirmish, but is constantly going on. Sixty-seven thousand, eight hundred eighty-two soldiers, sailors and marines made the supreme sacrifice in the war. During the same period at home, 150,000 American men, women and children were the victims of tuberculosis. This disease is a secret, invisible foe that creeps stealthily upon its victims, the majority of whom are said to be in the prime of life. The Albany County Tuberculosis committee, whose finances are provided entirely through the sale of Christmas Seals, is carrying on its fight against this insidious foe all through the county. 

Three Hart Boys in U.S. Service.

They are both members of the Lutheran church, also the fire department, at Guilderland Center. With their enlistment there are now three boys of the Hart family in the U.S. service. Floyd D. Hart enlisted in the navy and at present is stationed at the Charleston Navy yards in Charleston, S.C.
