Red Cross Christmas seals goes TO the
fund used for the scientific battle
with this white plague"

the day is success.

penny and be glad that she can do
that much for so good a cause.
The man who can not spare one
penny is a poor sort of an individual.

business houses there will be the
attractive saleswomen who are dis
posing Of the seals.

OF the tuberculosis fight, but in Iif-
ferent way There viii be no ques-
tion Of buying seals; in fact, there
