WILSON'S SRR@ aR3s kBH KEBtFrsp rpi

New York, Dec. q. --,rhe New York
World, democratfc,xand strong Will
son supporter, referring to indorse-
ment Of President Wilson for third
term by the democratic state conven-
tion of South Dakota, declared edf-
torially that 'from the point Of view
Of the public welfare the renomina-
tion of the president could not fail
to be a mistake.
"No matter how the campaign be-
gan it would end as conflict over
the third term" the World said. !,
, The World does not believe that
president Wilson in any circum-
stances would consider a renomina-
tion, nor could any sincere friend ,ot
the president desire that his splendid
career should end in such an anti
climax; for an anti-climax 1t would
be-even II he were reelected"

matter of conjecture to high school

Just a Few Facts.

,cerning: the fight against tuberculo-
sis:.
Tuberculosis kills producers
chiefly men and women between the
ages of Is and 49,
It claims workers-active men
and women in the homes, the office
and the shop.
It causes 10000 deaths in the
United States every year. ...
It costs the United States in. econ
omic waste alone about $500,O0O,-
900 annually. =
More than 100000 persons in
this country are suffering from &C.
tive tuberculosis right now. l.
1t menaces every community, every
home and every individual.
And yet tuberculosis. is durable
and preventable.
It is spread lar gely by ignorance,
carelessness and neglect: :.
The National tuberculosis associa-
tion and its 1000 affiliated state and
local organizations wage a continu-
Gus, winning war on tuberculosis.
The work of these organizations is
financed chiefly by the sale of Red
Cross Christmas Seals.
Drive the menace of tuberculosis
from your door.
. Buy and use Red Cross Christmas
Seals!
