One day afield, and forget
That life is burdened with its cares.
To see the sun in glory setl
To breathe the pure, ambrosial airsl
To see the wide and brimmfug
stream,
As lustrous as a burning shieldi
All! this is to realize my dream
One day afield!
Ono am l with Gods outdoors!
The low, sweet singing Of the
wind,
The softness Of the forest floors.
And the dark recesses oyervined.
The breath Of freedom everywhere,
The earth's great loveliness re-
vealed!
All! this is the end of mortal care
One day afieldl

Four Million Seals
Sold In This State

Newark, N. j., March 14.-The New
Jersey Anti tuberculosis League an
nounced to-day that more than four
million Red Cross Seals were sold
during the 1916 Christmas campaign.
This is an increase of approximately
100000 over the 1915 sale and more
than 1,600,00 over the sale in 1914.
Selling four million seals in the
State of New Jersey means that ap-
proximately $37,500 has heen re-
ceived for local and State tubercu-
losis work. Eighty-five per cent. of
the proceeds of the sale is devoted to
strictly local anti tuberculosis work in
the communities in which the seals
are sold, provided tuberculosis work
is organized there.
According to information received
by Mr.. Ernest D. Easton from the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis Red
Cross Christmas seals raised in the
1916 sale 81 1,OOO,0 900 for the tubercu-
losis campaign. All reports are not
in, but carefully revised estimates of
the few yet outstanding indicate that
more han one hundred million seals
were sold.
All the proceeds of the sale, amount
ing to a tax. for health work of one
cent on each person in the country
the insular possessions, is devoted to
preventive tuberculosis work in the
states and communities in which the
seals are sold.
The National Association points
with qualification to the fact that it
realized its slogan "one seal for each
fy&ho hsko ~ <kn TTnsknI O%o%a ~
Seals have been sold annually at the
holiday season, beginning with 1908.
They have been the means of raising
total Of $4,206,051 for tuberculosis
work. In addition to the thousands
of tuberculosis beds which this sum
has made possible, the seals have also
aided in the establishment of hun
dreds of open-air schools, employ
ment of hundreds of tuberculosis
visiting nurses, and have been an in
direct cause of tremendous advances
in the whole field Of public health
work.
tuberculosis committees have been
organized in practically every COM
munity of any size in the country.
Every state in the union now has a
State Society engaged in statewide
anti-tuberculosis work. Hundreds of
thous ands Of open windows, letting in
nnwt nted quantities of fresh air to
sleepers, may be traced directly to the
public health educational effect of the
Red Cross Christmas seals.
Counting the school children, some
SOC, 900, the total number of agents Of
the country approached 100000.
These included club women, school
teachers, merchants, bankers, post
masters, and N fact every kind Of
business mar and woman.
Without che cooperation of the
press of the country unstintedly
given, as it always has been, these
tremendous results from the Red
Cross seals would have been impos-
sible," said DR.. Charles j. Hatfield,
executive secretary for the National
Association, in making public the re-
suits Of the sale. "Both directly and
indirectly the newspapers Of the'coun-
try have, through the Red Cross
Christmas seal sale, contributed to
the alienation Of human suffering and
to the total Of human happiness, to q
greater degree than any other single

Not Forgotten

81 cannot tell why there should come
to me
A thought of some one miles and
years away,
In swift insistence on the memory
Unless there be need that
should pray.
"Old friends are far away; we seldom
To talk of Jesus or changes day by
day,
Of pain, pleasure, triumph or defeat,
Or special reasons why tits time to
pray.
"We are too busy even to spend
thought
For days together, of some friends
away;
Perhaps God does it for US, and we
ought
To read His signal as call to pray.
Perhaps just then my friend has
fiercer fight,
A more appalling weakness or
decay
OF course, darkness, some lost sense
of right;
And so in case you need my prayer,
pray.
"Dear, do the same for me; if l in
trude
Unasked upon you, on some crowd
ed day,
Give me a moments prayer as in
terlude;
Be sure l need it, therefore pray"

The Ending Good

Out of the special cells most special
sense
Came the suggestion when the
light was sweet;
All skill, all beauty, all magnificencs
Are hints so caught, mans glimpse
of the complete.
And, though the body rots, that sense
survives,
Being Of life's own essence it en-
dures
(Fruit of the spirits tillage in mems
lives)
Round all this ghost that wander
ing flesh immures.
That is our friend, who, when the
iron brain
Assails, or the earth clogs, or the
sun hides,
Is the good God to whom none calls
in vain,
Mans achieved Good, which, being
Life, abides.
The man-made God, that man in
happy breath
Makes, in despite of Time and dusty
death.

Unbuttered Parsnips

do think
People are the funniest things.
Now, look at all this hifalutin talk
About Duty.
And then
Reduce it to it's Least Common
Denominator.
If, as we read in the unfettered
verse of the Helpful Soul,
1t is so common to give up cars
and Caruso
For the benefit of the poor,
That it is a custom more honored
In the breach than in the OBJ
servance,
l hadn't noticed it.
But this SNUG proposition
That IF one gives the vital gifts
One may keep all others"
Is the very Easy Street of Phil
anthropy.
"A touch of healing personality is
what the broken-hearted most need. "
Oh, is it?
Go to the down-and-
Offer them a warm grasp of the
hand, a word of cheer,
And a touch of your healing per-
sonality,
And you will be surprised at the re-
suit.
You will be wise to hide those
secret scars
Won by binding up those same
broken-hearted.
you'd better hide them even from
that peach of mother,
Who is such convenient brake on
the sensational giving of breadD
Oh, well, one can't be very honest
with ones self when it comes to Duty.
But it is a comfort to know
Some may be made happy and con-
tented
By dispensing inexpensive chatter
About Duty.

My Friends

Yet weary with the dust and heat
OF life's unending road,
I long to find some still retreat
And there lay down my load.
Some leafy shrine of shifting shade
Where still streams loiter by,
Dim dripping caverns moss has made
Cool unto heart and eye.
My load is heavy, weary wind
The ways that must tread,
What meaning in the miles behind?
What glory leagues ahead?
All this! That all along my way,
By each wayfaring tree,
Unto the last mile Of the day,
Friends are awaiting me.

To A Distant Friend

Why art thou silent? Is thy love a
plant
Of such weak fibre that the treacher-

Of silence withers what was once so
fair?
Is there no debt to pay, no boon to
grant?
Yet have my thoughts for thee been
vigilant,
Bound to thy service with unceasing
care
The minds least generous wish men
dicant
For naught but what thy happiness
could spare.
Speak!-though this soft warm heart,
once free to hold
A thousand tender pleasures, thine
and mine,
Be left more desolate, more dreary

Mayor Mitchell said at a nom
political banquet in New York.
Deliver me from the professional
politician. Thank goodness, there are
no professional politicians here.
"A professional politician was walk
ing along a country road one day
when farmer gave him lift. The
farmer, as they logged along, said:
And what trade might you be in,
"I amt in no trade the profes-
sional politician answered. I'm in .
profession
".And what profession, friend,
might that be?'
"'Politics.'
"The farmer turned his head slow
ly. and looked his guest up and
down.
Friend he said, that amt .
profession. It's disease"
A friend Of ours, for whose opinion
we have an abiding respect, gives
Willingness" as a fitting definition Of
courage.
Another gives determination, {"
which is much the same.
We have always believed that ef-
ficiency is a big part Of courage, In
that efficiency produces confidence,
which is one Of the main foundations
Of courage.
Here Is another definition: "Cour-
age is the process of taking the break
of the game as it comes and giving
the best one has on through to the
finish regardless of the score"
