E CROSS SEALS

Suppression of tuberculosis is easily one of the most inn
portant subjects nowt before the world, and an effective way of
fighting this scourge of the race is in providing funds through
the purchase of Red Cross seals.
In this time of drive" for various purposes the request
OF the Red Cross in connection with the Christmas seals is very
modest. Everyone can give as much or as little as he peaSes;
the smallest contribution is welcome; every penny contribution
is welcome; every penny counts in the work of the National
association. Thus pOssessors of small and large
incomes alike are included in the appeal.
England, France, Italy and China are among the foreign
nations engaged in a campaign against the white plague. For
several years the United States has recognized the Importance
of the work, and the Red Gross is one of the effective inst:u-
mentalities employed against the disease. Fortunately t!,tre
no longer is any uncertainty as to the results of systematic
.endeavor; the spread of the terrible disease can be PR lied
and in time the plague can be eradicated. But unremittihg
effort is necessary; it will not do to halt in the work 50 we'll
and the first immediate step to be taken is to see
that there is a wide distribution of Red Gross seals. Ypu can
get them at the Tribune office.
