HOPE TO RAISE LARGE sum
Millions of Red Cross Christmas Seals
to Be Sold for Antl-Tubereu-
Iosls Work.

Few people have any idea Of the
magnitude Of the Red Cross Christmas
seal campaign. This year over 100,-
100000 seals have been printed and
distributed. II placed end-to-end
these seals would extend nearly 2,4O0
miles, or practically from New York
70 Salt Lake City. They have been
sent to over $4,000 different agents
and will be sold and handled by an
army Of not less than 100000 volun-
teers. including men, women and chill
dren. Millions of advertising circu-
lars have been scattered throughout
the country. and SO thoroughly has
the advertising campaign been or
ganized that 1t is doubtful II many
people In the more populous states
of the country will not have heard of
the Red Cross seal and its mission in
the prevention of tuberculosis. 1t is
hoped that at least 50,000,000 seals
may be sold this year. The principle
upon which the sale Of seals is based
is that every cent except what little
Is needed to cover the actual cost Of
printing and handling shall be spent
for tuberculosis work in the commu-
nifty, where the seals are sold

HousehoId and Mental Order.

Froebel, father of child-study," said
that inward clearness proceeds from
outward order" and there is truth
enough In the observation to give food
for thought In the careless, untidy
mother and father. Froebels saying
was connected, no doubt with his in
sistence that the child's play and work
materials in the kindergarten should
be taken out In perfect order and 80
returned at the close of the exercises.
and DR.. Montessori, the Italian educa-
ZIONIST, whose method is working a
change in the teaching Of children, re-
quires the same thing in her Houses
of Childhood" There must indeed be
a potent influence in an orderly pune
tual, Observation-Disclosures household,
and there is no question that children
brought up in such an atmosphere do
show clearness in their mental pro-
cesses. Fortunately, this is an tnfiu-
ence which is Independent Of riches or
poverty and SO can be exerted by any
mother.

Red Seals and Christmas Gifts.

A big-hearted purchaser of Red
Cross seals in southern city recently
complained because the seals did not
come in sheets larger than 100. He
had prepared Christmas package for
his daughter and had conceived the
idea that he would wrap 1t entirely in
Christmas seals. AS the present was
bulky, the sheets Of 100 we're not suf-

ever. by pasting several sheets Of seals
on large piece of wrapping paper, in
which he inclosed his daughters gift.
