HOW RED CROSS SEAL
IDEA CAME INTO BElNG
Originating In Norway, Method Was
Taken Up Here Nine Years Ago.

Originating In Norway, Method Was
i. Taken Up Here Nine Years Ago.
Over $3,250,0 900 has been raised by
Red Cross Christmas Seals in the last
eight years, and yet many people who
will buy these holiday stickers at this
ninth annual sale do o know how
this idea originated.
While Red Cross Seals really date
back to the Civil Wal when Charity
Stamps" were first used, the first cam
paign to sell holiday stickers for the
tuberculosis fight was only nine years
ago in Delaware. Miss Emily p. Bis
sell Of Wilmington, read an article by
Jacob Riis describing stamps used for
tuberculosis work in Norway, and she
conceived the idea of a similar plan
here. Single handed, she launched a
sale which resulted in $4,000 clear
money. When Miss Bissell tried to
convince the American Red Cross that
this idea should be made national as a
peace activity of that society, she met
with opposition, but finally persuaded
the authorities, with the result that on
al Investment VI q lew uuuuTSu uOl-
lars s135. 900 worth of Seals was sold
in 1908 and the great national cam
paign was launched. Since then the
sale has gone forward by leaps and
bounds, until now the Red Cross Seal
is an institution in the United States.
and offers to every n a chance to
help in the peoples fight against the
peoples disease. Last year over 76.-
600, 900 Seals were sold, and this year
the American Red Cross and The Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis, who con-
duct the sale, are out for a 100. 000. 900
sale or 100000 for the tuberculosis
War.
The policy on which the sale is con-
Quoted is that the money, except for
the deduction of legitimate expenses,
shall remain in the community where
the Seals are sold.

RESTORED TO HEALTH
BY RED CROSS SEALS

Holiday Messengers Bring Happiness
to Homes Burdened With tuberculosis
Deserted by her husband, suffering
from tuberculosis in a double form and
supporting herself and young boy by
her needle, the AntiTuberculosis AS
ISOLATION in a Western city found an
unfortunate consumptive, living in n
room with two little beds-one for her
self and enc for her boy. Everything
was cle9n; but. oh. so poor!
That was a year ago.
This morning she took a train for
the state sanitorium, where she will
have a chance to get well, while her
boy is being cared for by the Anti
tuberculosis Association with funds
derived from the Red Cross Seal Sale.
Here is the story OF another family
where happiness and health were
brought through the medium OF Red
Cross Seals:
tuberculosis had made heavy de
mands upon the family, and the in
come had entirely stopped for several
months. 1t was inevitable that they
should run into debt for grocery bills
as well as the rent. With such worry,
anxiety and depression II is not al
ways easy to find a silver lining in
the clouds. The condition was recog
nized. however, by the visiting nurse,
and the sick father was sent to a hos
pital, and proper care was provided
for the others. Relief was also OBJ
tanned. and now both rent bills and
grocery bills are being gradually less
ened each week Each member OF
the family has had nursing care for
some ailment or other.
Every Red Cross Seal sold helps TO
stter conditions like these.

BETTY'S LIFE SAVED BY
USE or RED CROSS SEALS
She Was Taught How t. Care fer Her
self After Her Mother Had DIED.

She Was Taught How I. Care for Her
self After Her Mother Had Died.
She vas real pretty, and SO full OF
fun that the dimples we're always
showing in her round, red cheeks"
The visiting nurse of the Anti-Tuber-
culosis Society was talking. Her
eyes were big and brown and nut-col-
bred hair curled naturally in little
ringlets over her forehead and ears.
She was just eighteen when we first
met her and 80 neat and attractive
that n would think she belonged to
the well-to-do class of working people,
but when we followed her to her home
one day we confronted startling facts.
The red in her cheeks was the flush
OF unnatural inward fever, the high
spirits were a pitiful antidote to pitt
less conditions, and the big brown
eJes saw only squalor when they were
not fixed upon a typewriting machine
or closed persistently to any view but
an imaginary bright one.
"The room we entered was a gen.
eral living space, used also as an eat
ing, cooking and sleeping apartment.
There was but one bed and Betty
had to sleep in it with her mother,
who was too weak to sit up. An open
cuspidor sat where it would be con-
veniently near the bed, which placed
1t by the stove where their food was
cooked. The mother, who was suffer
ing in an advanced stage of tuber-
c~ulosis, did not like cold air, and her
q%uerulous demands caused Betty to
keep the door and windows closed.
We'll said cheerful Betty, with a
laugh. that isn't so bad as not hav-
ing any windows or doors to close, is
It? Things might be worse
Infinitely worse" said l. You
might even take a notion to stuff the
windows and doors with rags to cut
out what oxygen me in through the
cracks
Red Cross Christmas Seals, with
their CHEEKY message of hope, gave
Betty a chance to get well after her
mother died. Is it worth while to
save the Bettys? Buy your share to
day"

on reform is being carried to such an
extreme that convicts are practically
bribed to be good by offers of liberties
and comforts. and the fact that they
are confined as punishment is en-
tirely lost sight of, declared Capt. Ed

in an address before the second meet

ISOLATION convention at the Chamber
of Commerce rooms.
I'VE must not lose sight of the fact
that men in prison are sent there for
punishment, not for pleasure" said
Captain King, and while 1 of course
do not advocate returning to the
barbarous bodily punishment for
merly administered to convicts, 1 do
believe that every criminal should be
treated according to offense for
which he was convicted.
Examine Convicts's Mind.
''To accomplish this, 1 advocate the
expert mental examination and dag
nosis of every convict in the United
State This plan is the continuation
of real progress in handling criminals,
reforming them and protecting snciety
and the state. Its use should be the
addition of the present generation to
the upbuilding of the general good.
Every penal institution should
have a medical bureau under the

be individually studied by this de-

county, has been selected state leader

TENDER 1.
Leavenworth county was the first in
Kansas to organize farm bureau and
employ a county agent The bureau
was organized in 1912, and Mr.. Ross
was made county agent August L. The
Kansas State Agricultural college and
the United States Department of Agri-
culture co-operated with the bureau in
paying a part of his salary and assist
ed in directing the work of the agent.
The bureau and agent have given con-
slant attention to improving the agri-
cultural conditions of the county and
making farming more profitable.
The help that the farm bureau and
county agent have rendered in the
general improvement of farming con-
ditions in the county has been So eff
fective that not only are the ciUizens
of Leavenworth county well pleased
with it, but fifteen other counties in
the state have organized farm bureaus
with an average membership of 800
families and have county agents at
work. while the interest in the farm
bureau and farm bureau work is row
statewide. Many other counties are

For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in

wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali- This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tireIy greaseless), is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you en- use for shampooing. as
this can't possibly injureS the hair
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub 1t in. One or two teaspoon
fuIs will make an abundance of rich.
creamy lather, and cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily. and removes every
particle of dust. dirt, dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky,
bright, fluffy and easy to manage
You can get mu1sified cocoanut oil

cheap. and a few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for months.
