The red-masked black men were
apparently as much startled and
alarmed as Peggy and Billy. They
stared open-mouthed up into the
darkness of the haymow, from
which had come the boot of Judge
Owl. Then the man on the throne
spoke in a solemn but shaky voice.
"Brudder Most High Guard, apply
de torch to de Examinations"
"Brudder Supremest King, All
obeys yo' command" answered the
latest of the black men, striking a
match and beginning to light Ian
terms that hung about the council
room. These lanterns were the
scsriest kind of things, some of them
being grinning skulls. some heads of
serpents, and some jack o. lanterns.
"Brudder Mostest High Guard yo'

to Garry Out the Local

maining 9.3 Per Cent.

Il "For the Health of This Com
q - munity." Such Is the slogan
appearing on the flap Of enve-
lopes on which the Red Cross
Christmas Seal is printed. The issue
of such envelopes In order to save the
trouble Of affixing gummed seals to
letters sent out In quantity by large
corporations and business houses has
been inaugurated this year as part Of
the machinery Of distribution set in
motion by the National Tuberculosis
Association and its 1000 State and To-
cal organizations in disposing of more
than 65O,OOO,0OO Red Cross Christmas
Seals during the ten day sale which
began on December l.
The Significance of the slogan lies in
the fact that whether the letter is
mailed in Los Angeles or Boston, in
Chicago or in Galveston 1t still holds
true. ''This community" literally
means the place where the seal is
bought and used. To be exact, 01.7
per cent Of the funds raised ie devoted
to local anti-tuberculosis activities In
the state. OF the remaining 8.3 per
cent portion goes to the Red Cross.

coming aroused to the critical impor-
tance of the problem Of vitality and
conservation Of health as the neces-
sary factor IN re-establishing the
world after the devastation and de-
struction caused by the war. OF all
the preventable diseases, tuberculosis
takes perhaps the first place in impor-
tance. For that reason view will;
keenest sympathy and approval the
