RED CROSS SEALS

An Opportunity for Everyone to "Do

Red Cross Christmas Seals are sold
to fight tuberculosis. They have Q
uniform price of one cent each. Since
1908, when the American Red Cross
first issued seals, the number Of its
workers, selling seals and the number
Of purchasers has multiplied eacn
year, until last year a record sale Of
104, 900 900 seals was reached, or ov-
er $1,O00,000 for tuberculosis work.
For this fall alone an issue Of over
| 100000 seals has been printed, as
| many as were sold in the nine pre-
| vious years. During those years the
| public was but gradually coming to
realize the value Of the campaign
against tuberculosis. With the en-

from the trenches with tuberculosis
and the number of cases among the
civilian population has increased I'm.
mensely with the war. tuberculosis
has likewise fallen heavily on the
other nations at war.
In time of peace 'chief among the
causes of poverty" and "the disease
that kills most" tuberculosis in time
of war is doubly dangerous. The anti
tuberculosis associations in all thu
States now need increased funds fo,
work both among soldiers and pros

avoid tuberculosis, and among thos,
who remain in the factories, fields

The control Of tuberculosis is on
