e CROSS SEALS.

These are days when the Red
Cross seals should be selling at their
best. Perth Amboy has a reputation
to uphold in this respect. When it
is realized that the seals are sold
to raise money to fight tuberculosis,
everyone ought to be glad to lend a
hand.
The white plague" as it is fa-
military called, is everywhere. No
one knows what home is to be at
tackled next. For this reason the
work OF stamping it out appeals to
all alike.
The seals cost but a cent each.
They are the same everywhere. No
one makes a profit on them. The
money goes to the anti-tubercoulosis
society in each community where
the seals are sold. There is not a
city. town 0 hamlet without its
cases of this. dread disease. But tt
can be cured and is being cured. Elk
penses must be met. however. and
as many of the poor cannot do this.
funds must be raised Every year
at this season of good cheer. the
peope have an opportunity to con
tribute their mite toward this great
tight. Don't let Christmas pass
without buying at least a few OF the
Red Gross seals.

JUSTICE TO STORE CLERKS.

We believe the people generally
will ~sylnpathize with the State street
store clerks in their request that
closing time be fxed at 3 o'clock at
night excepting on Saturday during
the holiday rush. Ii the stores ON
Smith street q do this, State street
ought to be equally progressive. 1t
is little short of cruelty to force,
girls to stand behind counters from
8 o'clock in the morning until long
after 8 o'clock at night.
The people should do their part
by keeping away from stores after
g o'clock. The shoppers should re-
member that the clerks are working
long and hard these days and there
Is a limit to all things. In justice
to the store girls. all shopping should
be finished by Q O'Clock at the lat
est. The clerks have done right In
calling The attention of the public
