THAT. HALF-HOLIDAY.
1t appears that some of the big
stores are willing to have the Satur-
day half-hoIiday, while others are
not.
That means the greedy ones will
rule, for if some close and, others
don't, the ones who don't will take
business from those who do.
There is a simple remedy. Let all
employees in all stores organize. Then
they can get the half holiday in ALL
stores by refusing to work in any of
them.

HOW A VISITING

Christmas Seals carried the cheer OF

family in Maryland.
tuberculosis had made heavy de-
mands upon the family, and the in

they should run into debt for grocery
bills as well as the rent. With such
worry, anxiety and depression, it is
not always easy to find a silver lin
ing in the clouds.
The condition was recognized
however, by the visiting nurse, and
the sickness was cared for. relief
was obtained. and now both REM
bills and grocery bills are being
gradually lessened each week. Each
member of the family has had nurs
, ing care for some ailment or other.
Every Red Cross Seal sold helps
