RED Gross SEAL IS
DOING BIG WORK
tuberculosis Deaths Almost
Cut in Half in Quar-
ter Century.
The National campaign against tu-


The National campaign against tu-
berculosis in which West Virginia
within the past few years has come to
play leading part, is directed by The
National tuberculosis association, I'M
der whoseIguidance the forces engaged
in this fight against consumption have
grown rapidly year by year since
1896. In that year there was only One
organized tuberculosis society and
one tuberculosis sanitarium. Today
there are 1000 state and local socis-
ties in every section OF the Union, COL
tuberculosis sauItaria, thousands OF
visiting nurses, hundreds OF open air
schools, thousands OF free clinics and
dispensaries.
Measured in human lives the re-
suits of this work might be summed
up in the statement that in 1885 the
death rate from tuberculosis was 200
per 100000 population. Today the
rate is 14O per 100000 population. A
saving of $4,000 lives annually.
The death rate of West Virginia Is
more than 1000 annually from tuber-
culOsis. How would the death OF l.
900 persons from tuberloSis affect
West Virginia? Taking the IlguEes Of
Prof. Fisher of Yale-if the value of 4
human life be placed at S4OOOFit would
cost West Virginia $4,000,0OO annual-
ly. To this must be added that which
never can be reduced to dollars and
cents, namely, the incalculable amount
of suffering, unhRppIness and misery
caused by this disease in our own
state.
Funds derived from the sale OF Red
Cross seals, the CHEEKY little holiday
greetings, which sell at a penny a
piece, will reduce this number OF
deaths and relieve the distress caused
by tuberculosis.
Ten years ago there was not a tu-
berculosis nurse and very few nurses
of any kind, no clinics, no sanitar-
iums. Today, we have nurses, clin-
les, sanitariums, health campaigns,
county visiting nurses, the Modern
Health Crusade n the schools, field
workers and numerous means Of edu-
eating the people along health lines
and how to prevent tuberculosis.
Funds from the sale Of Red Cross
Seals in West Virginia furnish the
means to do the work and fight Tu-
berChlisis in this state.
The Red Cross Seal-as millions OF
Americans know today, is an agent OF
happiness and health. 1t was originat-
cd in 1907 by Miss Emily Bissell, 81
Wilmington, Delaware, who learned
through Jacob Refs Of similar seals
that were sold in Norway for the pur-
pose of raising funds with which t.
tight disease.
Miss Bissell persuaded the Red
Cross to take up the idea, with The re-
suit that the seals were sold in u lin
tied quantity in communities in 1908.
The seals yielded approximately So
600. The Red Cross then decided to
issue the seal each year and urn the
proceeds over tB the Na:ionai TuDer-
cuIosis AssoclaIl ion and its affiliated
societies for thl purpose of financing
the campaign against tuberculosis.
This nuRber of keats sold in America

This is Rather New, Girls, For the

Some of the girls in the city have
taken to dressing like the movie stars
just before they fall into bed at dream
time with the possible difference in
length OF neither garments One Of
them went into department store
here recently to buy herself some
filmy wearing apparel and when she
removed her coat and dress, the clerk
was amazed to see standing before
her. a most attractive maiden un'
clothed in pink silk tights with bot
tom RULES and pink silk camisole.
No more and no less! Except low
Shoes and silk hose. To the curious
man (and don't you think for a min
ute the men don't want to know all
about it, a camisole is no animal but
a piece of straight silk about six inch
es wide with two ribbon straps means
to hold it on. In this particular case
the young lady's camlsole didn't
strike her waist line-neither did her
tights and in between
The clerk says she was worried to
death for fear the young lady would
catch cold. "All the girls dress that
way!" declared the maiden as she
pulled on a very filmy dress and long
coat ON top Of it all. 1.-THE less we
wear, the better" she explained.
