GRATEFUL PATIENT BUYS
RED CROSS SEALS
Tells Why He Supports Great National

Tells Why He Supports Great National
Red Cross Christmas Movement.
personal experience means much in
ones attitude toward the Seals. Will
you let me tell why both gratitude for
the saving of my life and desire to
help exterminate tuberculosis makes
me buy and use Red Cross Christmas
Seals?" This is a request in letter
from a cured patient in one of Wiscon-
sins County Hospitals for Tuberculo-
sis, who says:
II was shocked to learn in 1910 that
| had consumption. l thought that
was the end of me. Fortunately for
me the National Tuberculosis Associa-
ton and the American Red Cross had
taken up the task of informing the
nation that a pulmonary tuberculosis
can be arrested and perhaps cured by
combination Of fresh air, good food,
perfect rest, and freedom from care.
In course Of time this good news had
reached Wisconsin and the Wisconsin
Anti-Tuberculosis Association was or
ganized to carry the message into ev'
cry corner Of the state. Through this
propaganda sanatoria were established
in various parts of the state. So when
the disease became very personal
matter to me, there was an institution
near at home to teach me how to
breathe, eat, rest and think, so as to
live with tuberculosis, and at price
within reach Of my moderate purse.
This was all the result Of the philan-
thropic propaganda Of these national
organizations and the Wisconsin Anti
Tuberculosis Association, to whom l
must always be grateful for my pres
ent health and strength"
What Red Cross Seals have done in
Wisconsin they have done and are do
ing in every other state in the Union.
All but ten per cent. Of the proceeds,
which is used for expenses, remains in
the state where the Seals are sold to
be used for tuberculosis work.

That live stock pays on the farms OF

lowing figures secured from eighty-one
farms in one community The farms
were not selected farms, but were
taken as they lay along the road.
These farms were divided into three
groups according to the amount Of live
stock kept. One-third of the farms
were found to have over 20 head each

amount Of feed consumed) in hogs,
sheep or other productive live stock;
ore-third had between IL and 20 head
each; one-third had less than II head.
The heavier stocked farms returned
a profit for the year of STA more than
those with the small amount of live
stock.
Another community selected at ran.

increase the volume Of farm business

Through live stock much of the poorer
grades of feed may be utilized to bet

wasted can be made to give good re-
turns. The manure obtained is essen.

The above figures offer some food
for thought If you are thinking OF
purchasing additional land, consider
first whether the purchase money
should not go into more live stock for
the land you already own.

Bethlehem's Bid on Shells
for the United States Navy

To the American People:
The Secretary of the Navy has awarded
contracts amounting to over $4,000, 900
to a British bidder for IA and l6-inch
projectiles for the Navy because of very
much lower prices offered by the English
bidders.
Weknow nothing of the basis upon which
the British bids were made, but the pub
Lie is entitled to know the facts upon
which we ourselves bid for this work.
Two years ago we took contracts
to make 1900 l4-inch shells at a
price of $l,5l5,OOO. Up to now
not a single shell has been ac-
cepted by the Government, al
though we have expended, in
wages, materials, ETC., on these
orders $522, 88l, and we have not
received a SINGLE DOLLAR on
these contracts.
In addition, literal Interpretation Of
the contract might make us liable foP
penalties amounting to S678,Ol6.
In the light of our experience, and hav.
ing no other basis, we bid for l6-inch
shells approximately the same rate per
pound as that which the Navy Depart
ment actually awarded a l4-inch shell
contract one year ago.
