CHRISTMAS SEAL FUNDS

Within two weeks over a billion
Red Cross Christmas Seals will be on
sale in every nook and corner of the
United States. These seals are sold
to finance the campaign against tu-
berculosis in this country. OF every
dollar received from the sale of Redi
Cross Christmas Seals, 91.7c remains'
in the state where the seals are sold
for the benefit of the organized anti
tuberculosis campaign in that state.
Out of the remaining $3.50, the ex-
penses of running the campaign are
first deducted, and whatever is left is
then divided between the American
Red Cross and the National Tuber-
culosis Association.
The Red Cross Christmas Seal cam
paign is not for the purpose OF fnanc-
ing the work of the American Red
Cross or It's chapters. 1t is for the
purpose of financing the National Tu-
berculosis Association and the various
state tuberculosis associations. The
Red Cross Christmas Seal, launched
in 1908 by the American Red Cross,
has been issued In the name Of the
Red Cross since that date. In March
1919 the American Red Cross agreed
to allow the National tuberculosis
Association to use its name and en-
blem on the usual Christmas seal
This year the Red Cross has no other
part in the tuberculosis Seal Cam
paign. The Red Cross Seal is Tu-
berculosis Seal. Those who buy Il
are supporting the tuberculosis work
tn their own communities.
To support the programs OF work
outlined In the forty eight states and
insular possessions for 1920 in such
a manner that results in the saving
of thousands of lives may be realized.

the simple tale of back woods life as
depicted in the popular novel, The
Shepherd of the Hills" by Harold
Bell Wright has found favor on the

class. The story of the play, which
unfolds on thee screen in logical
order, needs no staging, thee major
ity of the scenes being laid in the
great open.
Splendid character study is de
veloped in the cast. The screen
version will prove more popular thar
any stage production of THE Shep
herd of the Hills which has yet beer
tried, because of the scope of tht
