should tend to make the coming battles

only lost Billy Moore, by graduation. The

HOPE TO RAISE LARGE SUM
Millions of Red Cross Christmas Seals
to Be Sold for Anti-Tubercu-
Iosis 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. If placed end-to-end
these seals would extend nearly 2,400
miles. or practically from New York
to 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 it is doubtful il 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 5O,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.

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 it entirely in
Christmas seals. AS the present was
bulky, the sheets of 100 were not suf-
ficient. He solved his problem, how
ever. by pasting several sheets of seals
on a large piece of wrapping paper, in
which he inclosed his daughters gift.

NOTES oFIHE POULTRY YARD
Contaminated Ground Is Frequently
Cause Of Disease-PIenty Of Range
Is of Importance.

Feed abundance, with variety.
Growing chicks need plenty OF
range.
Grit enables the gizzard to prepare
the food for digestion.
Exercise produces warmth, produces
pleasure and promotes health.
Abundance, without variety. will
wear the breeding stock out quickly.
The chicks constitution is made be-
fore the egg that. is hatched is laid.
The richer the fowls ration in pro-
tein, the more water will be required
IA digestion.
Soiled and contaminated ground is
a frequent source of disease among
the young chicks.
Food cannot produce good results
unless fowls have good air. Impure
air causes the digestive organs to be-
Home sluggish.
Hens will eat a great quantity OF
loal cinders, and they are very good
for them. Try putting load in the
chicken yard, and watch the results.
