What Red Cross Seals Do

Every Red Cross Christmas Seal
that is sold Is a real bullet in the
fight against tuberculosis. These seals
last year helped to support thousands
of needy tuberculosis patients and to
give them chance for life. They
provided for many visiting nurses,
whose hundreds of thousands of visits
brought instruction and cheer to
numerous patients. They helped main
tain scores of dispensaries from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, where thous-
ands Of patients received free treat
ment, aid and advice. They provided
the means to purchase millions of
copies Of circulars, pamphlets and
other literature with which the pub.
lie has been educated about tubercu-
losis. They have established and
helped to maintain more than l5O
open-air schools for children who
needed open-air treatment. These are
just a few Of the ways in which the
100000 received last year was ex,
pended. This year 100000 is
needed. Surely every one can helE
by buying at least ten seals.

to meet the requirements Of a rapid

Just little more than sixteen

business on very modest scale. He
began business in the old frame build
