THE PASSING THRONG

The brand new undertaking parlors Of A.
d. Richardson were thrown open to the
public for inspection last Saturday and
those who saw them said, we'll done. While
this institution is neither a Bonney- Watson
or Butterworth & Sons, yet it is highly
commendable and stands an example of in
dustry and determination. The establish
ment is complete within itself and does not
have to do any farming out business Mr.
Richardson, the proprietor, is the only IL
censed and registered embalmer of color
IN the Northwest and with his profession
he has joined business and as result he
has the foundation for an undertaking bust
ness that if half cared for will within the
next two years be worth ten fold more than
it is at the present time. Already Mr..
Richardson is being patronized by the Chi
nese, Japanese and Jews as well as by his
own people and he says on this point my
parlors are for the dead without regard to
creed, color or condition.

LOVING THE GERMANS

Inspired by psalms and sermons, and
good books on the shelf, I try to love the
Germans as [ would love myself; but when
I've loved the critters for minutes five or
ten, I need course of bitters to tone NE
up again. It's hard to love the people who
trampled Belgium down, destroyed tn,
church and steeple, and burned the help
less town. It's hard to love the blighters
who raise sickly whine when whipped by
allied fighters and shooed across the Rhine.
And yet I keep on trying to love them
more or less; the effort keeps me crying,
and sweating, l confess; and when I've
loved the buffers half an hour or so. no
othr being suffers the agonies [ know. I'm
weary and exhausted, as though by mortal
ills, by doctors I'm accosted, who say I'm
weak and bent and broken from loving
Huns too much. A man may love the Rus
slams nor find existence vain; but if he
loves the Prussians he cannot stand the
strain. And still, inspired by sermons
" ich teach that hate s a fake, I'll try to
love the Germans until my spare ribs
break.

MIR. Nancy ANSWERED
To the Editor, Cayton's Weekly:


Kindly allow space in your paper for the
publication of this letter which is in refu-
tation to the statement of Mr. Nancy pub
lished in your issue of March LIST, 1919
I assume all responsibility for the Char
ity Ball given at Renton Hill Hall on the
evening Of February %, 1919, and also
brand as deliberately false the statement of
Mr.. Nancy that said ball was given or ad-
vertised for the benefit of the Tacoma Be-
nevolent Orphanage.
The ball was given and advertised under
the heading of the Charity Committee for
the benefit of colored orphans and no par
tlcular home was mentioned.
My intention was to give the proceeds, if
any, to the Colored Orphanage at Charles
ton S. c., as [ had noticed an ADVERTISE
ment in the Charleston Messenger request
ing bedding etc. for the Colored Home at
Charleston.
Mr.. Nancy called at my home Friday
eveing, February 21st, and I explained the
matter to him fully and he remarked that
he thought all proceeds from the ball should
go to his orphanage at Tacoma, and to let
the South look after their own orphans
"selfshness personifed although in his
statement in your issue Of the LIST inst says
that the proceeds would not have been &C
cepted by his home had it been rendered.
This ball was given by me with the same
charitable feeling that the balls for the Sol
diers' Comfort Committee and the n A. P.
G. P were given, the proceeds from which
were turned over by me to the organiza-
lions referred to- which you and the gen.
eral public know to be the facts
The ball given on February 22nd was not
a financial success which can readily be seen
from the following statement:

Educational Campaign.
A call for volunteers to fight under
the standard of the National Tubercu-
losis Association and its 1000 affiliated
bodies throughout the country against
tuberculosis-humanity's most vicious
fOe-has been sounded.
A recent health survey, made by the
experts Of the National tuberculosis
Association, brought to light some
startling statistics with regard go the
prevelency Of the disease The And-
lngs Of this survey have revealed a
national menace, which must be eradi-
Gated. The figures show thar each
year 10000 persons die of the dis
ease and that there are approximate
ly 100000 cases Of tuberculosis In
the United States today.
The untaught consumptlye-one who
does not know the rules OF health. Is
an indefatigable spreader of the dis.
ease. Wherever he goes, he leaves be-

DOUBLE BARRED GROSS
ADOPTED II YEARS AGO

The double barred Red Cross is
seventeen years old this month. In
October, 1902, the International Anti
tuberculosis Association, then meeting
in Berlin, adopted the cross as the
emblem of the worldwide fight against
tuberculosis 1t was proposed by Dr.
G. Sersiron, of Paris. It is a com.
blnation Of the Croix de Lorrulne and
the cross OF the Greek Catholic
church. Both crosses are symbolic of
charity and help to humanity. Their
combined features were selected ana
adopted as the symbol of the hope Of
civilization. Four years later, in 1906
the double barred Red Cross was car
ried into this country It was in 1906
the National tuberculosis Ae- ociatiop
was formed, and for the III ee inter.
yening years the cross has been car.
rled over the United States by the
National tuberculosis Association ana
its affiliated bodies. which now mum

The work of these organizations
financed Chiefly by the Red Cross

FIRST SALE YIELDED $4,000
National tuberculosis Association,
Which Sponsors Sale, Will Place
650,000,000 Seals on Sale to
Finance the Fight Against
tuberculosis.

The Red Cross Seal-as millions Of
Americans know 1t to day, is an agent
OF happiness and health. 1t was orig
mated in 1907 by Miss Emily p Bissell,
of Wilmington, Delaware, who learned
through Jacob Rils Of somewhat SINH
lar seals that were sold in Norway for
the purpose Of raising funds with
which to fight tuberculosis.
Miss Blssell persuaded the Ameri-
can Red Cross to take up the idea with
the result that seals were sold In a
limited number Of communities In
1908. The sale yielded a revenue Of
approximately $1,000 The Red Cross
then decided to issue the seals each
year and to turn the proceeds over to
the National tuberculosis association
and its affiliated societies for the pur-
pose Of financing the campaign against
tuberculosis. The number Of seals
sold in America Increased by leaps
and bounds until In 1917 the total
reached 1sOOOO,OOO.
This year the seals are again on
sale beginning DecemDer i. More
than half a billion seals have been
lprinted for distribution to state and
local agents. In addition to the
seals Health Bonds" in denomlna-
ltiOns ranging from $500 to 500. 90
ARE to be sold in lieu Of seals to
large contributors, who do not send
out a sufficient quantity Of mail In
December to make use Of all the seals
they would like to purchase The
combined quotas Of all the state or
ganlzatiOns call for more than SG,50O.-
600 to carry out the intensive educa-
tlonal campaign being conducted by
the National tuberculosis Association
and Its 1000 affiliated societies.
The intensive sale OF these seals
represents a practical demonstration
OF every lesson that has been learned
regarding scientific distribution. Ex-
perts Of the highest standing in sales
management have co-operated to the
extent Of assuring those interested
that every. resident af the United
States viii have an opportunity to buy
