Enable You to Eat Your Meals
Without Suffering After

Every person knows that to live in a
healthy, happy manner we must eat.
Diet. starvation, predigested food, etc.
are not the correct methods of eIiminat-
ing digestion disorders
Many dyspeptics know that they
must eat and so they go to their meals
in a half-hearted manner. When they
see food before them they are made
miserable. Their judgments tell them
to cat but their stomachs revolt at the
IDEA and so whatever food they con-
sumo does them more harm than good.

RED CROSS SEAL SALE
TO BEGIN NOVEMBER 20
Indiana Commission Announces SlO-
gan OF ''Ten Seals Per
Capita"

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov Z. The an
nual Red Cross Christmas seal cam
paign will begin simultaneously in all
parts of Indiana on Nov. 20, accord
ing to an announcement today by the
Indiana Red Cross Seals commission.
The date was fixed after a consultation
with authorities in Ohio and Ken
lucky.
Prospects for a big increase over
the sale of last year are reported at
the headquarters of the commission,
2O3 Public Savings Insurance building,
this city. In 1911 total of 1,244,441
seals were sold in Indiana. In 1913
the sale was boosted to 1,2S3,879. Last
year the total sale was 1872 LOCI. In
view of the increased public interest
in Hoosier anti-tuberculOsis work the
commission expects the 1914 sale to
be greatly in excess of last year.
The slogan Ten seals per capita"
has been adopted and the head of
every family in Indiana will be urged
to buy at least 10 seals for each men,
Der of his household. The money so
derived, it is pointed out, is used in
Indiana in an effort to protect every
home in the state from the raVages
of the white plague, from which no
one, rich or poor, young or old, is
immune.
berculosis societies in Indiana during
the past year have been devoted to
the arousing of public interest in the
need of preventive measures against
tuberculosis. Probably the most far
reaching effort of the year was the
inauguration of a state wide observ-
ance of Disease Prevention day Fri
day. oct. . More than 1000, 600
Hoosiers witnessed the demonstrations
conducted in various parts of the
state aimed at all preVentable dis
eases, particularly tuberculosis.
Success in other ways has crowned
the efforts OF Indiana crusaders
against consumption. Marion, Allen,
St. Joseph, Howard, Madison and
other counties made appropriations
this fall for the building and main
tenance of county tuberculosis hos

Continued improvement in senti-
