he DID HIS SHARE.
How the Rich Man Changed His Mind
When Tuberculosis Struck Home.

Anthony Schofeld lived in Missouri
and had made his money in copper and
zinc He had worked hard from boy
in the drift up to the rank of foreman
then to superintendent and finally to
owner. Sickness never worried him.
His six foot giant frame had stood
many hard knocks and was good for
many more. \ year ago in answer to
n pretty girl who asked him to buy
some seals to help the miners who bad
tuberculosis he replied gruflly; LET 'em
work and save. That's what did when
| was young, and I've never been sick
and have got enough to keep me now.
1t was a different Schofeld who ap-
preached the Red Cross Seal girl at
one of the booths yesterday. In twelve
months his daughter had been stolen
away by the monster tuberculosis and
his son, Just graduating from college,
had been compelled to drop everything
else in his search for health from this
same disease. The doctor had said that
the disease could be traced back proba-
bly to childhood, when his two children
had been nursed by the cOnsumptivc
daughter Of consumptivc miner. The
rickety. disease breeding tcnements in
which the miner was compelled to live
were owned by Schofeld now. I'D
give my two eyes and both legs and
arms to have my daughter with me
and my son restored to health he
confided to the Red Cross Seal girl
II can't get away from the thought
that my girl might be alive and my boy
well If I'd given some attention to the
prevention of this disease ten or fifteen
years ago. Now it's too late for that,
but I'll keep somebody else's son and
daughter safe. Here. give me all the
seals you've got and then go and get
all you can find and charge them all to
me. II money can make amends, which
II can't. I'll do my share"
As the astonished girl handed over
to him her entire supply of 10000 seals
and took his check in return she heard
him mutter his daughters name and
repeat. "l'll do my share

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

None of the proceeds from the sal9 Q!
Red Cross Christmas Seals which ga
being sold widely throughout the Unit.
ed States for the benefit Of the anti
tuberculosis movement, will be used
for any relief purposes, according to Il
statement by Ernest L. BickneIl, Ma
tional Director Of the American Red
Cross.
Mr. Bicknell says: THE American
Red Cross is deeply appreciatiye of the
sympathetic interest which has inspired
the suggestion from various parts OF
the United States that a certain per
centage of the Red Cross Seal Sales
Fund, which has been used for the last
seven years exclusively for the preven'
ton and treatment Of tuberculosis In
the United States, be expended this
year TO aid the European war suffer
ers While the Red Cross Is deSirOuS
Of securing contributions which VIII 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 the sale of Red Cross Christ
mas Seals. The announcement that
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
1.2OO anti-tuberculOsis societies distrib
utcd 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
for tbeirwork during the year 1916, The
people Of the United States must sup.
port this local war against tuberculo-
sis, which annually kills 100000 people
and at the present time is leaving
trail of million wounded"
