treatment, which requires rest, out
doors and much good food.
"You believe that I am infectious;
a danger to you and yours, and the
community.
1--WE believe, you and I, that if I
go on work, I will die; and while I
am dying at my work, I will form
also a starting point for the same
dread disease amongst my comrades,
and my own family.
II believe that my disease is not
my fault; I got it from a poor fel-
low who was situated then just as I
am now; he kept on working beside
me until he died. That's how I got
it.
"You believe it is not your fault;
of course not-you did not give it
to me.
1--WE believe, you and I, that it
was the fault Of the community, who
left that previous consumptive to
work beside me, while he was dying.
II know I am not pauper, or a
charity case now, but soon I will be
both; and then will be so far gone
in my disease that I will die anyway.
That is a nice prospect!
"You know that if quit work and
'loaf" at home, I'll be more dan
gerous to my folks, than I would be
to my comrades because I will be
with them twice as long every day.
1--WE know, you and I, that con-
sumption can be cured if taken in
time; that it becomes worse, and more
infectious as it goes on; that every
month, every week, every day that I
go on without rest, outdoors, good
food, makes me worse, more danger
Gus and poorer; I tell you it costs
money to be sick.
my people cannot stand the ex-
pense if loaf" at home; they can
not stand the expense of my taking
treatment that would cure me. They
cannot afford to have me die.
II must work, to live; and if I work
II die!
For Gods sake, gentlemen, what
am to do?"
What did you do? He's dead now;
his family is infected from him; some
of his comrades at work are infected,
too; certainly one or more persons
will follow him down that same sun
less path of suffering, poverty and
death, because he died, neglected.
What will you do about others,
still living? Nothing, as you did
about him? No! This thing must
stop; stop it now.

Every man should be jealous of
two things:' his name and his credit.
A good name helps his credit and
good credit helps a good name. He
should value his reputation as his
choicest possession, and he should
guard his credit equally as we'll, if
not better than he guards his money.
He can protect his good name by
keeping good company, avoiding
questionable places and bad habits
in general. His name is what he
chooses to make it. He can build up
and protect his credit by one course
borrowing and paying as he agrees
buying on time and paying on
time.
The greatest force in the business
world is credit-the power to bor-
row; to get trusted: to obtain the
property of another to use as your
own on a mere promise to pay.
"Credit," says Webster, "has done
more thousand times to enrich the
nations than all the mines in the
world" Credit spans rivers, opens
mines, builds railroads, moves COM
merce and wages war. Our whole
business structure rests upon it, For
every extension of credit there must
be debt, and there can be no credit
where there is no debt.
Debt is not dishonorable; the abuse
of credit is. The man who runs in
debt is not business offcast, but a
sensible man-provided he uses his
credit Alright. There are some forms
of debt to be encouraged; there are
others to be avoided. To buy a
house with a mortgage on it is COM
mendable; but to buy an automobile
from the proceeds of mortgage on
your, house ought to be a disgrace.
To run a grocery bill is no crime;
to fail to pay as you agree ought to
be. To furnish your house on the
installment plan may be the best
thing you ever did-some people
could not have home any other
way; but to buy clothes on a dollar
week installment plan is financial

the designation the Philadelphia
North American gives to the great
movement, guided and energized by
the American Red Cross, aimed at
checking the inroads of the great
white plague. And the specific ma
terialization of this movement as it
is brought home to the individual is
the little Red Gross seal, the tiny
combination of paper and ink and
"stickum" now doing a great work,
literally moving about all over this
great country, a voiceless but effec-
tive promoter of the benevolent spirit
of Christmas time.
The seal, then, is much more than
the expression of a mere bit of senti-
ment In fact, while it is yet young,
it has an interesting history which
may be summed up, briefly, as fol-
lows:
In 19O5-two years before they
first were issued-there were in the
United States only 18 tuberculosis
sanatoriums, providing 673 beds, an
average of one bed to each 100000
of the population.
! It is not necessary to say this was
the acme of unpreparedness in deal
ing with plague which for many
ho1
any other-a disease responsible for
at least one-tenth of all deaths.
Up to 1905 only eighteen dispen-
sary clinics for the treatment of tu-
berculosis had been opened in this
country. And the amount of money
annually spent to educate and warn
the public for even Pennsylvania's
share of the victims
Then came this "bit of SENTIMENT
this little sticker selling for a cent.
The very fact that a copper would
buy one made these seals the most
widely distributed of all educational
aids. For their prime purpose was
and still is to educate the people to
the need for resisting this plague
with more care and more preparation.
The sum total derived from their
sale during the last eight seasons is
eloquent of the "bigness of little
things But the several million
dollars that thus have come to rep
resent only small part of what has
been spent and DONE
For now the 18 sanatOriums have
increased to more than 500, with a
total of more than 10000 beds in
place of the paltry 673 ten years ago!
And the 1S dispensary clinics have
grown to nearly 500!
In addition to this, the very name
of the dread. disease has become a
word with which to conjure; and last
year more than $2O,0O0,000 was spent
by public and private associations in
treating and preventing tuberculosis.
Such results might lead one to think
this Christmas seal had accomplished
it's mission. AS a matter of fact, it
has only sounded the call to action.
Its greatest task still is to be accom-
'plished.
For, in spite of sanatoria and dis
'pensaries increased nearly fifty-fold
.within decade; in spite of the many
millions spent annually in the ma
tion-wide effort to stem this tide of
death, the situation today is such as
to demand serious consideration on
the part of every person interested
in the future of his own and every
other American home.

"'The policemen showed them in the
