FRESH SUPPLY
OF The SEALS
First Cons ignmsnt of 49,
900 Exhausted.

With two weeks remaining for the
sale of the Red Cross Christmas
seals, the first consignment of 40,-
600 received in this city has been
disposed of and more have been or
dered. Mrs Margaret G.. Ciani,
chairman of the Woman's Club Com
mittee, in charge of the distribution
of the seals, said today that she ex-
pected the additional supply will be
received by Monday so that there
will be no delay in filling any or
ders that may come in,
Some idea of the success of the
sale this year can be had from the
fact that last year only $1,000 seals
were received here and many of
these were not sold This year the
same amount was sent here and as
already told, they have been dis
posed of and more have been or
dered.
Valhalla Lodge, No. 275. I. o. 0.
F., is the latest lodge to make pur-
chase of the seals. They took 500.
Other organizations are yet to be
heard from.
Among the industries. the CHEESE
brough Manufacturing Company has
bought 1900 and the Perth Amboy
Dry Dock Company has bought L.
600.
With the Free Tuberculosis Exhiblt
at 1877 Smith street, drawing to close
those of Perth Ambcy's citizens who
have not yet witnessed its features
should do so at their earliest conven-
ience. The first six days of the ten
days. exhibit have accomplished much
but there is no reason why the re-
naming four days should not accom-
plish much more. 1t is usual for exhi-
bitions of this kind to have their most
successful days near the end and the
present exhibit will probably prove no
exception to the rule. e. ,s
George Muirhead, the demonstration,
has held the interest of hundreds since
the exhibit opened with his talks on
the prevention, cure and relief of the
disease,
Good health is given as the greatest
prevention of disease, for tuberculosis
germs cannot get a f6othold in a sound
body. You are urged to get into the
fresh air every day and keep the ail
of your living rooms, work rooms and
bed rooms always fresh by having them
constantly open to the outside air, even
in cold weather Night air is as good
as day air and often much cleaner.
Avoid hot rooms; they make you ten
der; they do not prevent colds, but
cause them. In cold weather sitting
rooms should never be warmer than
sixty-eight degrees. Work rooms and
sleeping rooms should be cooler. Get
thermometer and watch it. Be in the
sunshine as much as possible, whether
outdoors or indoors. Sunshine Is health
giving. Avoid dark rooms.
Avoid rooms that are crowded, smok
ey, gassy, dusty, dirty or damp. Keep
your rooms clean. Wiping with wet
cloth IL better than sweeping and dust
ing. Breathe only through the nose.
Mouth breathing is unhealthy.
Strengthen your lungs by taking deep
breaths often. Don't steep, but walk
and sit erect, so you can breathe deep
1y.
AS means of raising funds to fight
the "white plague" the sale of Red
Cross seals throughout the country Is
becoming more and more of national
custom each year. The sale Of seals
this year will undoubtedly break all
previous records as the purchase of the |
seals is becoming general throughout |
The country. Eighty two per cent of
the proceeds of the stamps purchased |
in Perth Amboy go directly to the an
work in this city.
The exhibit will be open tomorrow
afternoon and evening. DiVines of |
local churches are requested to ask
their congregations to attend it be-
fore It closes next week.
