VISITING NURSE IN
EVERY COUNTY PLAN

What Is to be done with the money
from the sale Of Red Cross seals in
Kentucky this year? This inquiry
Is heard from many persons not in
formed of the fact that most of the
money used TO fight tuberculosis by
the Kentucky Tuberculosis Associa-
tion, to provide visiting nurses to
teach the victims of the plague and
their families how to take care of
themselves, comes from the sale of
these little Red Cross Christmas
seals every winter.
A visiting nurse in every county of
kentucky and dispensary under the
direction of the ablest physicians OBJ
tainable, besides travelling clincs to
go from county to county where need
ed in the fight against tuberculosis
in the State are the objects toward
which DR.. J. S. Lock, executive secre-
TRY of the Kentucky Tuberculosis AS
ISOLATION, is bending his energies and
W
Red Cross Christmas Seals will make
possible, if enough of the seals are
sold between December /. when they
are placed on sale, and December 10,
WIN the drive for the sale of Red
Cross Christmas Ssals in Kentucky
will be finished.
Visiting nurses are needed badly
in some of the counties where there
are many cases OF tuberculosis, a
large number of which could be cur
ed, If given proper attention, to say
nothing of the prevention of the de-
velopment of other cases through
proper care of the patients, which the
visiting nurse teaches. The death
rate from tuberculosis and the num-
Der of cases has been greatly reduced
wherever visiting nurses have been
available, and the sale of the Red
Cross Christmas Seals furnishes the
funds with which the Kentucky Tu
berculosis Association fights the
plague by sending these visiting
nurses to the rescue.
For the benefit OF those who here
tofc~e have purchased larger GUAM
titles of the Red Cross Seals than the'
could make use OF, the Health Bond,
in denominations of IS to $500 is
being issued this year. Many of
these will be sold to generous Ken
tuckians, and it is likely the program
FOR the relief OF those suffering from
the plague as outlined by DR.. Lock
will be made possible by the addition
al sales of the Red Cross Seals.
The National tuberculosis Associa-
ton has sent Captain NJ. B. Thweatt.
until recently an officer in the United
States army. into Kentucky to- help
organize the campaign to sell these
stamps and bonds. The campaign
starts December /. and it is hoped
the States quota will be sold by the
10th.

Information from Connecticut
shows that in the year ending Sept.
80, more than 5000 dogs were killed
BY dog wardens Many were shot
while interfering with sheep. Less
injury to sheep has resulted than In
any previous year due, perhaps to the
so-called roaming dog law which
went into effect July /.

two years and is still growing. The

Tender Made Punching
Bag of Cal. Delaney

Lew Tender. Philadelphia's great lit
tie unbeatable, defeated Cal Delaney,
of Cleveland, last night in a battle at
rounds. Delaney started to rough it,
and succeeded in holding Lew even in
the opening inning.
Tender quickly sized up the situa-
ton, and in the second round played
Delaney at his own game. He won
every one of the remaining five rounds
by outslugging and outboxing Cal.
1t would, not be possible to call the
affair fight. as it was a very one
sided match in which the visitor was
the receiver general in every round.
Delaney was evidently in the ring to
stay as long as he could and collect the
easy money which the exhibition
brought him. He was holding before
the end of the first round and q good
part of the time during the other
rounds he was doing the same thing.
Once in awhile he would let go long
enough to make a wild swing or two
at Tenders head or body, few of
which blows landed. Tender hit him
hundreds of time, but the punches had
little effect, as for the most part they
were landed on Delaney's fat jowls or
the rolls of fat that covered his mid
section, and they only sank in a short
distance. 1t was about the easiest
money Delaney has ever earned. for
when the bout was over he did not
show a mark, even his nose and mouth
were not bleeding and he did not ap-
pear to have perspired the least bit
After the bout Jimmy Dunn explained
Delaneys poor showing by stating that
Cal had hurt his right hand in his re-
cent bout here with Joe Phillips.
In the semi-windup Joe Tiplitz won
rough encounter from Packey HON.
mey, the sturdy little Italian light
weight from New York, who took all
that Tiplitz could give him and came
back for more every time. While he
was beaten, Packey earned the plaudits
of the big crowd by making Tiplitz
extend himself in every round, and
when the bout ended Joe was about
as tired as Hommey.
In the other bouts Joe Jackson had a
shade on Mike Connors; Young Glenn
enceau stopped Frankie Cline in four
rounds, and Kid Wagner beat Billy
Devine, the last-named bout going, the
limit.
