"Seal the Doom Of
Consumption. "
This is the Shibboleth of Ants
tuberculosis Crusaders in
Christmas Campaign

Seal the doom of consumption
by sealing every letter, package,
gift or other mail with Christmas
seal"
This is the watchwofd of the Wis
consin Anti-Tuberculosis associa-
tons army of crusaders who are
out to double the record for Christ
mas Seal sales of last year, when
100000 were disposed of at
penny eech.
The penny derived from each
seal, multiplied by thousands will
yield a great sum for the mainten-
ance of great work-to wipe con-
sumption out of Wisconsin. Each
seal will make three persons happy
the one sen ding it, the one re-
ceiving it, and the unknown suffer
er whom it will help. Every seal
sold means another weapon placed
in the hands of those battling
against the white plague.
The war against consumption is
everybody's war and everybody
should take part. To buy Christ
mas seals is doing duty. Every
seal sold in this city increases our
chance to win one of the many valu-
able prizes offered by the associa-
ton as reward for merit. These
prizes include a $3.50 Henning
piano; eleven $50 sanitary drinking
fountains, one TO the winning city
in each congressional district;
three lecture courses; tuberculo-
sis exhibit; special individual prizes,

The Silent Givers

In tune with the spirit of Christ
mas cheer and helpfulness is The
Silent Givers," by James E. Har-
row in Human Life for December,
These stories of men and women of
vast wealth who, particularly at
this season, do so much to tighten
the woes of the homeless and hope
less, show that beneath robes and
furred gowns" beat hearts that af-
ter all feel their kinship with the
world of want and pain.
There is a wide difference in the
spirit of giving" writes Mr.. Har-
row. Most men who rank as phi
lanthropists are actuated by human
interest only. They see suffering
and their sympathies are touched.
And, since it lies in their power,
they do all they can. This spirit,
OF course, moved John S. Huyler,
but behind it he had motive which
made his giving unusual.
All the checks which he signed
for charitable purposes he drew
from an account marked M. P"
For years the recipients of these
checks wondered what the mystic
lettering might mean, but he did
not explain until shortly before his
death. M. P" stood for "My
Partner" and by that he meant
God. He was a deeply religious
man and sincerely considered him
self as acting in a vicarious capaci-
ty, and all those who benefited by
his silent giving felt that there was
something of the ideal priest in his
ministrations. He gave annually
close to half million dollars to all
sorts of philanthropic work, but he
had a way Of doing it which sub
ordinated the amount of the gift to
the thought behind it,
