JERRY WANTS A LUNG.

to Supply Need.
Wanted: A good lung. This was the
theme of letter in rhyme received
the other day by the st. Louis Socie-
ty for the Relief and Prevention Of
tuberculosis from ten.year-old Jerry
O'Connor, a pupil at the open air
school formerly conducted by that
society. His poem, inspired by the
Red Cross Christmas Seal Sale, fol-
lows:
Now, II there's a present goin' round.
There's just one thing for me,
Ask Santee for one new lung,

So, in your prayers remember me.

"A Merry Christmas to you all,
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
lungs" and chance to save their old
ones. The sale Of Red Cross Seals

ly that entire number distributed to
agents in every state and territory OF
the Union from Alaska to the Canal

even in the far-off Philippines. Ad-

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 ont.
It 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,OOO,OOO Seals, or only
one for every man, woman and child

$1,OOO,OOO for the anti-tuberculost

lionaire feel little tug at his heart
and remember the poor.
1t is characteristic Of the day that
the most widely separated classes are
often sorry, each for the other. That
is why at holiday time the rich espe-
cially put money into circulation. 1t
has been roughly calculated that In
New York alone $25,000,000 is spent
every Christmas time. From what
can learn from charity organizations,
it would not be an extreme estimate to
say that in the entire United States
nearly billion dollars changes hands
at this open hearted season of the year.
OF course, this does not mean billion
dollars worth Of charity; It means the
money spent upon Christmas in every
form. Still, a great part is charity.
To give a dinner on Christmas de-
lights the hearts of many rich men.
The annual Christmas elbow out"
given by the late Timothy D. Sullivan
to the poor Of the lower east side Of
New York has become known through
out the country. Every year big
Tim" filed about 5000 people with
food and good cheer In addition
everybody received a 50 bill and a new
pair Of shoes. The Sullivan dinners,
which have been carried on by his heirs,
used up 5000 pounds of turkey and
chicken, twenty barrels of potato
salad, ten boxes of celery, 1900 loaves
Of bread, 1000 pies, $50 gallons of cot
fee and forty kegs of beer. Being a
politician, Sullivan distributed charity
in many forms throughout the year,
but those who knew him we'll say that
he looked forward with the eagerness
Of boy to the feeding Of "his home
less" on Christmas day.
The government sees that the army
and navy receive very good Christ
mas dinner, but Uncle Sam dispenses
no charity. Mrs. F. j. Shepard (Hel-
en- Could always makes it q point to
send some appropriate present to the
naval branches Of the Young Mems
Christian association, and on board
many battleships go boxes filed with
tobacco, reading matter and other
things to gladden. the hearts of the
sailors. 1t is significant that at Christ
mas her name is cheered by every tar
in the United States navy.
This giving of Christmas dinners is a
favorite New York charity. Even the
big restaurants and hotels do it. Last
year one gave 400 dinners to the
poor. Another sent out 500 din
ners beautifully packed in separate
containers. The proprietor of a well
known grocery house leaves his home
every Christmas long enough to play
host to a thousand little mothers"
John D. Crimmins Is another who de-
lights in feeding the poor. One year
he entertained old people and helped |
to wait on the table himself. There is |
told Of him that he waited on one FL
len Mccarthy, ninety-seven years old,
an inmate of home. After seeing she
had all the turkey she wanted he asked:
"Have you room for a charlotte
russo, Mrs. Mccarthy"
For who, sorr"
'This is a dainty, something good to
eat" he explained.
"Thank yez kindly. May heaven be
your bed when you die" she said as
she received the paper cylinder and
studied the way in which to dispose of
tho contents.
