Push Sale OF Red Cross Seals.

The American Red Cross has al
ready printed over $4,000, 900 Red
Cross Christmas seals and probably
the edition will number 100,000,O06
before the end Of the campaign. If
the anticipations of the anti-tubercu-
losis workers are realized. no less
than 100000 will be obtained from
the sale of Red Cross seals. Practic-
ally all of the money remains in the
state or city where the seals are sold,
only very small percentage Of it is
going to pay for the cost of the print
ing and distributing the seals and for
the expenss of running the campaign.
In case any persons cannot obtain
seals in the community where they
live, they can secure them by writing
to Red Cross Seal Headquarters. 715
Union Trust Building, Washington, d.
G. Red Cross seals cost one cent
each and every seal sold is bullet In
the fight against tuberculosis.

The Indian Monsoon.

The Indian monsoon, which having
begun rather feebly in the interior is
being anxiously watched throughout
the country, should be well establish
ed by now over great part of both
eastern and western India. The off,
cial date for the opening of the rains
in Bengal is June Is, and in normal
year they begin to fall copiously be-
tween the Goth and 25th.
They are somewhat later in the
ac-thwest of the Punjab, where the
rains begin with terrible burst
which is far more impressive spec
tacle than the comparatively gentle
arrival Of the bay monsoon over the
Gangeic delta. A weak opening Of the
rainy season is by no means always
a discouragirg sign, for the deficiency

NEVER TIRES

Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
The favour of Grape-Nuts is peculiar
TO itself. 1t is neutral, not too sweet
and has an agreeable, healthful quality
that never grows tiresome.
One of the sources Of rheumatism is
from overlooking the system with
acid material, the result of imperfect
digestion and assimilation
AS soon as improper food is aban-
,soned and Grape-Nuts is taken regu-
srly, digestion is made strong, the
organs do their work of building up
good red blood cells and of carrying
away the excess of disease-making
material from the system.

New Way to Get Money.

There are many ways to get money
from people, and in these days when
it Is often necessary to raise various
sums for missionary and other church
work, the ministers Of the gospel
make all sorts of moving appeals
But the preacher who takes the prize
in this line Of endeavor so far is an
old colored man down south.
I'VE has a collection to take UP dis
mawnin,'" he said: "a collection for
a mos important cause, an we needs
as much money as we kin git. But,
fob de sake Of your regulations,
whichever of you stole Mr.. Jones
turkeys don't put nothin' in de plate. .
That was how he got money out
of every member of his congregation.
