RED CROSS SEAL FIGURES.

225,000,00 Holiday Stickers Already
Distributed In United States.
Few people have any conception of
the magnitude of the Red Cross Christ
mas Seal Campaign. Here are few
figures that will show what gigantic
movement this is. Already 225,OOO,00O
seals have been printed and practically
that entire number distributed to
agents in every state and territory OF
the Union from Alaska in the North to
the Canal Zone in the South and from
Porto Rico in the East to Hawaii in the
West. Advertising circulars, posters,
cards. ETC., to the number of several
million have also been distributed. Not
less than 100000 personal letters ask
ing people to buy seals have been sent
out. 1t is estimated that the army of
workers, nearly all of whom are vol
unteers, engaged in selling the seals
numbers well over 100000. The adver-
Using and publicity donated to the
campaign amounts to several hundred
thousand dollars. Every effort is being
put forth to sell 100000 seals, or less
than one for every man, woman and
child In the United States. This will
mean $75O,OOO for the anti-tuberculosis
camDaign In the United States, and
particularly all of the 1,200 anti-tuber-
culosis associations of the country de-
rive their support from Red Cross Seals

HE DID HIS SHARE.
How the Rich Man Changed His Mind
When tuberculosis Struck Home.

WHEN IupercuIoSiS struck Home.
Anthony Schofeld lived in Missouri
and had made his money in copper and
zinc. He had worked hard from a boy

then to superintendent and finally to
owner. Sickness never worried him.
His six foot giant frame had stood
many hard knocks and was good for
many more. A year ago in answer to
a pretty girl who asked him to buy
some seals to help the miners who had
tuberculosis he replied gruffiy: LET EN-
work and save. That's what did when
was young, and I've never been sick
and have got enough to keep me now. :"
1t was different SchOfeld who ap-
preached the Red Cross Seal girl at
one of the booths yesterday. In twelve
months his daughter had been stolen
away by the monster tuberculosis and
his son, just graduating from college,
had been compelled to drop everything
else in his search for health from this
same disease. The doctor had said that
the disease could be traced back prOba-
bly, to childhood, when his two children
had been nursed by the consumptive
daughter of consumptive miner. The
rickety, disease breeding tenements in
which the miner was compelled to live
were owned by Schofeld now I'D
give my two eyes and both legs and
arms to have my daughter with me
and my son restored to health" he
cOnfided to the Red Cross Seal girl
II can't get away from the thought
that my girl might be alive and my boy
we'll if I'd given some attention to the
prevention of this disease ten or fifteen
years ago Now it's too late for that
but I'll keep somebody else's son and
daughter safe. Here, give me all the
seals you've got and then go and get
all you can find and charge them all to
me. If money can make amends. which
it can't, I'll do my share"
AS the astOnished girl handed over to
him her entire supply of 10000 seals
and took his check in return she heard
him mutter his daughters name and
repeat, "I'll do my share"

FOR LOUISVILLE CLUB

LOUISVILLE. Ky. Dec. 26. -
There will be no spring training

American association next season.
Col. o. II. Wather is the first Of the
association club owners 20 make
known his stand in this regard. The
players probably will be instructed
to report here on April 1 TO condi-
ton themselves.
Il figure the players will be able
10 get into excellent condition with
whole month 10 work out at
home" Col Wathen said. owing
10 tie fact that the season will not
open until nearly three weeks la
ter than usual. there will be no ne
cesslty Of a spring trip. The play
srs surely ought 20 be able to train
during the period that We have been
playing regular season games here
tofOre."
Training trips in the past have
been made necessary because Of the
early opening or the regular season.
Col Vathen always planned 10 get
his club south early and bring IL
back IN time TO play several exhibit
ton games with the major lea
guers.
The exhibition season. however.
probs bly, will be a very tame affair
in Louisville. The ColoneIs will not
report until the first week in April
and as the major league season will
get under way on April Is. there
prchablv will be little oDporturfty-
20 play the majors. Mgr Clymer,
however. may arrange two or three
