The War on White Plague

approximately 1000 persons in In
diana are already actively engaged
in selling Red Cross Christmas Seals
and before the middle OF December
it is believed this number will be
doubled. This fact is accepted as evil
dence of the increasing public interest
in broad humanitarian efforts such as
the work of curing and preventing
tuberculosis.
During the last year a considerable
sum has been expended in organiza-
ton work in Indiana which will mean
the accomplishment of definite re-
suits in preventing and curing tuber-
culosis in every county in Indiana. the
work of the state association will be
made more effective.
The sale of Christmas seals through
out the state will provide the funds
for carrying on both state and local
work. 1t is the purpose OF the state
association TO cooperate with the
county association in the manner of
expanding funds, in order that there
may not be a dissipation of the funds
through lack of experience in the
work.

seventy-five per cent of the funds
realized from the sale of seals in that
county. The other twenty-five per
cent will be sent to the state associa-
ton to help defray the expense OF the
campaign and to carry on the state
educational work. The state associa-
ton must also send ten per cent of the
gross receipts in the entire state TO
the national association in New York,
as all seals and advertising matter is
furnished to the state organizations BY
the national society.
The general purchase and use of
Christmas seals during the next few
weeks will make possible an enlarged
work in Indiana. The 1912 seals are
SO attractive that il is believed the
purchasers will feel that they have
received full value for their money, in
addition to the satisfaction of having
contributed to a worthy cause.
In the center of the seal is the head
OF old Santa Claus. surrounded by
Christmas greens. In the four corners

TENNIS is ANCIENT.
The Game Had Its Origin In tho Old
Days of knighthood.

By many people tennis is thought to
be an essentially modern game, but in
reality it is probably one of the most
ancient ball games and was a sport
long before cricket was dreamed of

it was called, "teneZ," is mentioned

From a simple beginning and through

In feudal times the courts were mere
ly open grass plots, oftentimes the
lawn of a castle, and not till late in
the seventeenth century was the court

backstops. Now most Of the modern
English and French courts are entirely
inclosed with four walls and a roof.

Harm Oaadruff Does.


Dandrur has come to be such com
mon disease that many of Us lose sight
of the harm IL works until the reat
harm is done. 1t causes the hair to
become dry and Iusteriess and by
clinging to the clothing gives the APP
pearance of uncleapliness-
One of the chief causes of dandrud
is weakness of the scalp. caused by
infectious diseases Pressure of heavy
or close hats on the head Is another
common cause. while the practice of
mating the hair close to the scalp is
a we'll known promoter of the disease.
Hair oils and dyes used to excess in
varia bly, cause malignant dandruff.
If you find your scalp is becoming
affected make haste to discover II one
Of these prevalent practices Is not
bringing about a condition you will
find great difficulty in overcoming.
First of all, keep the scalp perfectly
clean. Shampoos containing yolks of
eggs, with chloroform. berax with or
without camphor), carbolic acid. soda
and chlorate of potash are recon-
mended for dandruf.
Add to the yolk of an egg ten drops
of chloroform and beat with an egg
beaten to stiff froth. Rub the size OF
black walnut Of this remedy into the
roots of the hair. then wash 1t well
with a good soap Dry quickly with
soft towel. and you will find the
remedy most efficacious.
A tendency to gray hair is often he
reditary-that is to say. in certain fam
flies there seems to be lack of the
pigment which gives the hair its natu-
raj color. This deficiency in such cases
sometimes makes itself apparent in
early life and cannot be prevented.
Other people notice gray hairs for the
first time after some illness or other
loss of their normal vitality. and in
such cases there is rarely any restora-
ton of the natural color.
/ Sudden or severe mental disturbance
may sometimes produce gray hair. and
If the mental worry be very quickly
removed and the general health has
| not suffered there may be a chance of
the hair regaining its original color.

All through the year
Swift follow sun and rain.
Each cloudy day
Grows clear and bright again.
And it's sing-O my heart;
Be merry as the year grows old
And fear you naught that coming

And sturdy winds to breast.
Paths may be rough

Yet sing-sweet my heart
Press upward as the years grow
Our heritage the coming year shall
hold,
