"The Prince of Wales" says Miss
Adoree, sis as proficient in the rock
er as he Is in the fox-trot. The steps
of the rocker are extremely simple.
you start off by rocking three
times from side to side, glide into
the fox trot, then into a few waltz
steps and start over again with the
rocking. 1t is a graceful dance, and
even less strenuous than the fox-trot.
The Prince of Wales is consider
ed a good partner by the girls with
whom he has danced. In choosing
his partners he Is the most unselfish
young man to be seer in any ball
room. He shows no favoritism."

Campaign

The National tuberculosis Assoc1a-
ton and its 1000 affiliated asSoci;.-
tions, of which the Middlesex County
Anti-Tuberculosis League is a part,
will conduct an extensive, educational
and preventive campaign beginning
December list. An effort will be made
to raise $6,500,000 for health work
during 1920. New Jerseys quota is
S2S7,0O0. OF this amount Middlesex
County is allotted a quota of $4,000.
This fund will be raised through the
sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals,
which begins December 1st and nom
inally closes December 10th. although
seals will be sold until Christmas.
All but two of the twenty-one coun-
ties In New Jersey are organized for
an intensive sale. The average quota
for each community is about ten seals
per capita. Every man, woman and
child in New Jersey will be called up
on to do his or her bit.
This is a campaign for self protec-
ton and self preservation. Seventy
five per cent. of the gross receipts will
remain in each locality for the fur
Itherance of health work and the pre-
!vention of tuberculosis.

ton of our people has not materially
Ichanged since the war of 1865. He fur
ther pointed out that about thirty one
per cent. of the men called to the col
ors were. rejected for some physical
defect. Out of every 1000 men called
twenty-four were rejected on account
of tuberculosis If we hope to pre-
vent tuberculosis, we must elevate the
physical condition Of our people SO
thai they can resist the attacks of
disease.
December will be Health Month
when an effort will be made to bring
a message of Health to every individ-
Cal in the State.
