Children and Christmas are almost synonymous terms No one can think of gift laden Christmas tree or a stocking sulsing witb presents without thinking of the youngsters.
 It is because Christmas is the chiliren's particular feast that the National Asso. ciation for the Study and Prevcztion of Tuberculosis is asking the public at this time to think Of the little ones, the pri- mary sufferers from tuberculosis, who will benefit by the sale of Red Cross Christ mas seals.
 These youngsters are not like the sturdy boys and girls whom we associate Nlrf Christmas and who push their way through holiday crowds and stand with noses pressed against toy shop windows Many of them are wrecks Of childhood Tbes are nndcFfed and anderdeyeloped They have aos the stamina that belongs to childhood They have sn the ear marks of disease.

 Red Cross seals provide ninety per cent of the financial basis for the educational side of the fight against tuberculosis, an important part of which is the establish l ing of children's hospitals By puttins on little extra steam during this holiday season and increasing the sale of the srickers funds can bs raised to meet the growing problem of the infected and the border line children.
 l In many communities children's pa- vllons and sanatora have been built with funds raised in former years by the safe | of Christmas seals. The stickers have
 been life savers for the children They have safeguardsd them against disease and
 put them on the road to useful and et' fleient citizenship.

proved to be fatal The Huns leave

that they shall be picked un by some

Not long ago British soldiers occu-
pied a dugout which had been aban-
doned by the Germans in their retreat.

ally was delighted with his find and
reached to take it. lie had hardly
done so when there was IA terrific ex-

were i'm it. These watches and Other
trinkets are attached to wires con-

mine is exploded with fatal results.
