!, Seal Campaign. This year over loo. 900.
600 seals have been printed and distrib-
! uted. If placed end-to-end these seals
wonld extend nearly 2.i0O miles. or
practically from New York to Salt Lake
City. They have been sent to over %,
900 different agents and will be sold and
handled by an army of not less than
{ 100, 600 volunteers. 1t is hoped that at

: except what little is needed to cover
! the actual cost of printing and handling
r shall be spent for tuberculosis work in
= the community where the seals are sold.
