WHOLE TIME HEALTH WORK.

Medical inspection Of school children
Ii no longer an untried and ta1eoreti-
cal method of health work in North
Carolina, particularly in Nash county.
The whole time health officer Of that
county, DR.. B. e. Washburn, is SPAR
ing no pains putting into effect medi-
cal science and health work along this
line. He not only gives medical in
spection to all the school children of
the county but makes sure of the sue
cess of his efforts by calling on the
communities to observe Health Day
at the school, and all the schools to
organize Health Leagues. The object
of the former, he writes, Is to enlist
the interests of the communities, es-
pecially the parents whose children
are defective in health, through lee
lures, exhibits, etc., that they may fol-
low up the. inspection with the pre-
scribed treatment of remedy. The OBJ
icct of the Health Leagues is to pro-
mote health interest and better health
among the school children. Only the
teacher and the boys and girls who
are free from physical defects or have
been treated for such defects can be-
come members of the League.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK BRIGHT.

Washington.-Secr of Com
n cree. William C. Redfield, the man
who heads the department which is, in
many ways, the nations's business
barometer, in an interview expressed
extreme optimism over the outlook for
''good times" in the business channels
of this country, beginning in the next
few weeks and improving with time.
Mr.. Redfield expressed genuine sat
isfaction over the fact that our finan-
cial and business conditions remain
relatively bright, but are rapidly inn
proving, and pointed to the fact that
we have practically paid off our for
e1gn obligations, and that our exports
are again exceeding our imports.

MAY not take this occasion to
express to you my deep interest in
the work of the National Anti-Tuber-
culosis Association and my hope that
it's work is growing in efficiency and
extent from year to year? May not
particularly express my interest in
the Red Cross Christmas Seal whose
sale has been the means of raising
funds for the work? 1t seems to me
that this is particularly interesting
and sensible way of enabling the peo-
PIE Of the country to give this great
work their support"
Beginning today, every letter goin&
out of the White House for the next
four weeks and from many of the gov
eminent Offices shall bear the Red
Cross Seal.

RED cROss WORK.
Icontlnued from Flrst Pages

.. Confined from Flfet Page.l
Nearly s., SOC, 600 has been raised by
Red Cross Christmas Seals i'm the
last six years, and yet many people
who will buy these holiday st1ckers
at this seventh annual sale do not
know how the charity stamp idea orig
mated.
1T was war that brought forth the
charity stamp-our Civil War of 81
TO '65. Some of your grandmothers
Hrst-played "post-ofice" with stickers
similar to Red Cross Seals way back
I'm 1862, when they conceived the idea
OF selling stamps at fairs for the BEN
eft of the relief funds for the soldiers
hospitals in Brooklyn, Boston and
elsewhere. Nearly $1,000,000 was
raised in this way before 1865. After
the war this method of raising money
was discontinued in this country for q
generation, although it found vogue in
Portugal, Switzerland, Austria, Francs,
Spain, Denmark, Norway, Russia,
Sweden and other European countries
There are now several thousands Of
different types of charity used in all
parts Of the world, as many as forty
being used in Austria for children's
hospitals alone.
Stamps on seals were first used to
get money for the anti-tuberculosis
crusade in Norway and Sweden in
1904. To Jacob Riis, the well-kown
social worker of New York, and to
Miss Emily P. Bissell, the energetic
secretary of the Delaware Red Cross,
jointly belonging the honor of origt-
mating our American Red Cross
Christmas Seal In 1909, Mr.. Riis' in
terest was aroused By the receipt of q
Christmas tuberculosis stamp on a
letter from Norway. He published an
article about this qCeer-looking
stamp in the outlook" and suggest
ed some possible uses for it in this
country. Miss Bissell at once saw an
cpT ortunity here and prepared a
stamp, from the sale of which her So
cfety realized $4,000 for tuberculosis
work. So impressed was she with
this success that she induced the
American Red Cross to take up the
sale in 1908 on national basis. With
very little organization and with
hardly any attempt at careful adver-
Using the sale that year brought in,
nevertheless, over $4,000 for anti
tuberculosis work in various parts of
the United States In 1909, with more
thorough organization, the sale was
Increased to nearly $4,000; in 1911
to over 100000, and in 1912 to over
100000. Last year the sale was IN
creased to nearly 100000 seals,
netting $780, 900 for the anti-tubercu-
lOsiS campaign.
1t is fitting to note that war, inhu-
man and cruel, was the mother of the
Red Cross Seal, and that now war for
humanity against disease bring it back
to it's fullest usefulness.

As an expression of his interest in
the Red Cross Seal and Anti<Tuber-
culosis Campaign, President Wilson
