PRESIDENT ASKS
 PEOPLE TO HELP
 XMAS SEAL SALE

New York. Dec. 1.-The campaign of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis to raise $S,000, GOO for tuberculosis work through the sale of Red Cross Christ mas seals is endorsed by President Wilson. In a letter to Dr. Charles J. Hatfield, executive secretary of the association. made public today, the president says:
 'T am greatly interested in what you say about the very great increase in the demands made on the anti tuberculosis agencies of the country as result of the circumstances of the war. The development of the anti-tuberculosis movement under the leadership of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tu- ,berculosis has been a source of sat- isfaction to me. At this time, when
 we are called to do our utmost to make the fighting forces of the United States the most efficoent that human agency can produce, I cannot too strongly urge on you and your asso- ciates, as well as upon all the people of the United States, the increasing necessity for pressing still further the
 prokress which has been made in the prevention of tuberculosis and other diseases. I am in thorough sympathy
 with the efforts which you are mak- ing to raise $3,O00,0O0 from the sale of
 Red Cross Christmas seals, and hope 1t will be possible for the people oi the country to render support to this cause as generously as they have ren- Idered 1t to other causes'

BATH IN ICY RIVER TOO MUCH FOR US,
 FOOD INVESTIGATOR

With the American Army in France. Sunday, Dec. 16-(By the As sociated Press)ARepresentatives of the United States food administration now know just how the American soldiers in France live. Last night the party of six split up and joined different units. Several units were on practice marches and the visitors had the experience of standing in the rain at the mess line and eating from the mess tins without shelter. They were billeted for the night with sol- diers who were sleeping in lofts and in rooms of farm houses.
 This morning one of the visitors wanted to wash. and as the sergeants had been instructed to show them no favors, he was directed to the near est muddy stream, where hardy ar tillerymen were standing in mud and ice, busy with soap, brushes and frigid water. It appeared to be too much for one member of the party, so the captain allowed him to share his bill let which had g. stove.
 Today the visitors spent part of the time with former national guardsmen from their respective home states.
