ALABAMA MINISTRIES.
Drew Large and Well Pleased Audi ence Saturday Evening at Tent
 on E. Ferguson St.

A large and we'll pleased audience visited the performance given by the Alabama Minstrels last Saturday evening. The show was presented under their own tent in a vacant lot on East Ferguson street
 The band was a splendid one and discoursed fine music before the doors were thrown open, after which there was good music by the orches- tra. Nothing was said during the performance that could give offense to any one. The jokes were not of the usual stale kind but were laugh provokers. and the performance throughout was above the standard for minstrel show. There were nearly fifty performers, and it is lively aggre regation when they get to- gether on the stage in an overture or grand chorus. Altogether. the show was we'll worth a visit.-Tyler Courier Times, Tyler, Texas.

RED CROSS SEAL FUNDS
 NOT FOR WAR RELIEF.
American Red Cross Director Urges Fund For Tuberculosis Prevention.

None Of the proceeds from the sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals, which are being sold widely throughout the Unit ed States for the benefit of the anti tuberculosis movement. will be used Tor any relief purposes, according to n statement by Ernest r. Bicknell. Ma tional Director of the American Red Cross
 Mir. Bicknel says; The American Red Cross Is deeply appreciative of the sympathetic interest which has inspired the suggestion from various parts of the United. States that certain per centage of the Red Cross Seal Sales Fund. which has been used for the last seven years exclusively for the proven ton and treatment of tuberculosis in the United States. be expended this year to hid the European war suffer CTS While the Red Cross is desirous of securing contributions which will in- crease this war, relief fund. we do not feel justified in adopting any policy which Will tend to cripple the tubercu- losis work in this country. dependent  as it iS for support to so large an ex- tent on tue sale of Red Cross Christ mas Seals. The announcement that n percentage of the Red Cross Seal mon- ey would go to our war relief fund might possibly increase the sale; but. in our opinion, the final results would show distinct loss in that part of the proceeds going for tuberculosis work
 At the present time there are over l'2Oo anti-tubercuiosis societies distrib- uted through nearly every state in the Union and even in Porto Rico, the Canal Zone and far off Hawaii, which are dependent almost entirely upon the receipts from the Red Cross Seal sale Tor their work during the year 1916. The people of the United States must SUD- port this local war against tuberculo- sis, which annually kills 100000 people and at the present time is leaving a trail of million wounded"
