The Red Cross Seal--as millions OF
Americans know 1t to day, ID an agent
Of happiness and health. 1t was orig
mated in 1909 by Miss Emily z. Blssell.
Of Wilmington, Delaware, WHO learned
.through Jacob Riis Of somewhat SINH
!, lar seals that were sold In Norway ior
the purpose Of raising funas Win
which to fight tuberculosis.
Miss Blssell persuaded the Ameri-
can Red Cross to take up the Idea Win
the result that seals were sold IN
Limited number of communities In
1ooa The sale yielded q revenue OF
anproximately 5000. The Red Cross
then decided to issue the seals eacn
wear and to turn the proceeds over 10
tha National Tuberculosis association
and its afiliated societies for the pur-
nose of financing the campaign against
tuberculosis. The number OF seaiS
eold In America Increased by leaps
and bounds until in 1917 the total
reached 100000.
This year the seals are again on
sale beginning December 1. More
than half a billion seals nave oeen
printed for distribution to State ana
local agents. In addition to the
seals "Health Bonds" In denomina-
lions 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 mall In
DecemSER to make use of all the seals
thew would Ike to purchase. The
combined quotas OF all the state or
gsn,zatIons call for more than $6,6OO,-
coo to carry out the intensive educa-
tIonal campaign being conducted by
fhe National Tuberculosis Association
and its LOCO affiliated societies.
The intensive sale Of these seals
represents q practical demonstration
.af every lesson that has been learned
REGARDING scientific distribution. Tx

The sending Of a smAH naval forc.4

dental Information about q peculi:'r
people with the undesirable fame 81

Malekula island has long been siridt.r
the joint control Of France and Etis

of force has been necessary to ma >
the islanders respect the local rep

clares a recent writer, to be said f'e
the Malekulans. For one thing, thu
are remarkably honest; the travel'r
who goes among them knows that
however he may fare as regards per-
sonal safety, he Is in no danger what
ever of losing his personal property.
And II he ia careful not to irritate his

pleasant memory of the native vii

great satisfaction in belonging to 1t.

A rAaAnt health survey, made by the
experts 6f. the National Tuberculosis
Association, brought to light some
startling statistics with regard to the
prevelency Of the disease. The And
ings Of this survey have revealed q
national menace. which must be eradi-
Gated. The figures show that each
year 10000 persons die Of the dis
ease and that there are approximate
~ 100000 cases Of tuberculosis In
the United States today.
The untaught cOnsumptive-one who
does not know the rules Of health, Is
an indefatigable spreader OF the dis
ease. wherever he goes, he leaves be-
hind him trail of the deadly germs.
The National tuberculosis AssOcia-
ton and its affiliated bodies have en-
tered upon an intensive nationwide
educational campaign. The campaign
will be localized and within a short
time there will be ample work for
many thousands OF volunteers.
The National tuberculosis Associa-
ton and its affiliated bodies are e.
nanced largely by the annual sale of
Red Cross Christmas Seals. To make
possible the carrying out Of this cam
paign, more than 65O.OO0,00O seals win
be offered for sale during the holt
days. State and local tuberculosis
associations have at hand valuable
local data regarding the disease and
actual conditions in the communities
where they are located. The officers
Of these bodies eagerly welcome In

Eggs

The "boss" hen eggs, Of this
splendid laying season, so Tar
brought to our attention are now on
our desk. Mr.. N. A. Ross brought
them in few days ago with the re-
mark: Here's something, for your
breakfast. The four eggs weigh ex-
actly three quarters of a pound, IL
ounces or 4 ounces more than an
equal number of the average eggs.
One of the lot measures inches
from end to end and is six inches in
circumference. These eggs were laid
by Rhode Island red hens of which
breed Mrs. Ross has lot of very
pretty and serviceable birds. She is
Justly proud of them, and if she will
advocate the sale of eggs by the
pound instead Of by the dozen, we
will back her up. for, as everyone
knows, it is unfair to buy OF sell at
the same price per dozen, underSized
eggs from mongrel birds that one
gets or pays per dozen for larger
eggs from we'll bred hens.
This egg question was the sub
ject of lengthy article in the Lit
erary Digest a few weeks ago, illus
trating the difference in the sizes of
eggs and stressing the unfairness
that is practiced in buying and SELL
ing eggs at so much the dozen with.
out discrimination as to size and
quality. 1t is quite true that occa-
sionally a mongrel hen will lay an
unusually large egg, but this is rath-
er an exception than a rule. Only
recently one Of these unusual speci-
mems was brought to the Record Of
flee by Mr.. w. H. Matthews, who
regarded it as a curiosity simply
because it was laid by an old hen
without the least entitlements to
distinction or genealogy.
We once knew very wealthy
though miserly old doctor who did
all the family buying, and to be sure
that he got his moneys worth when
buying eggs, he got a shingle and
cut a hole in it about the size of a
large size hens egg. When he went
to market he carried this shingie
and selected only such eggs as could
not be passed through the hole.
