to an announcement made by the Ma
tional tuberculosis Association from
its headquarters in New York CITY
Monday morning This Is by far the
greatest number ever issued and the
objective in view is at least to double
last years sale. which as shown by a
tabulation now completed. totaled ov-
er 175.OO0.0O0, or so per cent more than
in any year previous
Owing to new problems directly or
indirectly due to the war. the present
announcement points out. the demands
upon the national, state and local anti
tuberculosis associations have greatly
increased. and additional funds suffi-
cient to deal with these problems along
curative and preventive lines must be
secured. For such funds the associa-
tons are dependent chiefly upon the
income derived from the sale of Red
Cross Christmas Seals. under a cooper
alive arrangement by which the Am
erican Red Cross allows proceeds to be
devoted to the furtherance of the cam
paign against tuberculosis throughout
the United States
The design of this years seal. made
by Charles A Winter. New York ar
