the Relief and Prevention of Tubercu-

q pupil at the open air school formerly
conducted by that society. His poem,
inspired by the Red Cross Christmas
Seal Sale, follows:
"Now If there's present goin round
There's just one thing for me,

A song I've often sung
But don't forget dis skinny kid,
And pay for his new lung"
There are thousands of Jerrys all
over the United States who want new

ones. The sale of Red Cross Seals helps
to provide open air school, sanatorium,
and home care for such boys as Jerry.

Distributed In United States.
Few people have any conception of
the magnitude Of the Red Cross Christ
mas Seal Campaign. Here are few
figures that will show what gigantic
movement this is. Already 325,0OO,0OO
Seals have been printed and practical
~ that entire number distributed to
agents in every state and territory Of
the Union from Alaska to the Canal
Zone, from Porto Rico to Hawaii, and
even in the far-off Philippines. Adj
vertising circulars, posters, cards, ETC.,
to the number of several millions, have
also been distributed. Not less than
100000 personal letters asking peo-
pie to buy Seals have been sent out
1t is estimated that the army of work
ers, nearly all Of whom are volunteers,
engaged In selling the Seals numbers
well over 100000. The advertising
and publicity devoted to the campaign
amounts to several hundred thousand
dollars. Every effort is being put
forth to sell 1OO,OO0,OOO Seals, or only
one for every man, woman and child
in the United States. This will mean
100000 for the anti-tuberculosis
campaign in the United States. Over
1900 anti-tuberculosis associations Of
the country derive their support from
Red Cross Seals.

from cured patient in one of Wiscon-
SINS County Hospitals for Tuberculo-
sis, who says:
II was shocked to learn In 1910 that
had consumption. thought that
was the end Of me. Fortunately for
me the National Tuberculosis Associa-
ton and the American Red Cross had
taken up the task of informing the
nation that pulmonary tuberculosis
can be arrested and perhaps cured by
combination of fresh air, good food,
perfect rest, and freedom from care
In course Of time this good news had
reached Wisconsin and the Wisconsin
Anti-TuberculOsis Association was or
gained to carry the message into ev-
cry corner Of the state. Through this
propaganda sanatoria were established
in various parts of the state So when
the disease became a very personal
matter to me, there was an institution
near at home to teach me how to
breathe, eat, rest, and think, so as to
live with tuberculosis, and at price
within reach Of my moderate purse.
This was all the result of the philan-
thropic propaganda Of these national
organizations and the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis Association, to whom I
must always be grateful for my pres
ent health and strength"
What Red Cross Seals have done in
Wisconsin they have done and are do
ing in every other state in the Union.
All but ten per cent Of the proceeds,
which is used for expenses, remains in
the state where the Seals are sold to
be used for tuberculosis work.

ony came.
There We're the old time chin
: ney and the great open fireplace
the fishermen are largely of
English descent, and so there is
, the burning of the Yule log.
During Christmas week, for
example, such fishermen as
were not busted doing their
fishing for the church"-that's
to say, dropping their nets and
bringing their catch to be sold
for the benefit Of the village
curate-were wont to dress up
as mummers. Bands of these
strollers would meet at the
homes of the different employ
ers of fishermen, and there were
festivities, ending in dancing.
1t took one back In fancy to
the old feudal times in England,
for the employers are to these
hshermen as so many lords,
whose slightest request is their
law. Once year at Christmas
tide the discipline is relaxed,
and the lowly fisherman might
even enter the homes of their
masters and make merry.
There on a settle, beside the |
fire, sits the fiddler dispensing
music for the occasion. Host and
hostess stand before the table
and provide the good things.
There are Scotch whisky, port
wine, rum-drinks first, always;
then cake and bread, a whole
ration of bacon-other dainties
galore. Every home in New
foundland holds open house this
day.
After the feasting the older
folk withdraw to one side to
tell tales of their lives on the
seas. Now and then the parish
priest drops in to wish all the
compliments of the day. The
young folk proceed to dance or
to plan and devise costumes for
the dances to follow. Every
evening there is some frolic
or entertainment ION" in the
towns, and as the days go by
each of the mummers appears
CARRIED in a fantastic costume.
But it is not all indoor fun
that they hold I'm Newfoundland
through Christmas week. bitter
cold though 1t be. There are
outdoor parties and singing con-
tests, etc.
Along with the fishing for the
church, as already described, it
is quite the custom in the "out-
port towns for all the villagers
to 'chip in" and present the
parish priest with a giant load
