FIRST SALE YIELDED $4,000
National tuberculosis Association,
Which Sponsors Sale, Will Place
65O,o0O,OoO Seals on Sale to
Finance the Fight Against
tuberculosis

The Red Cross Seal-as millions of
Americans know it to day, is an agent
of happiness and health. 1t was orig
mated in 1907 by Miss Emily z. Bissel,
of Wilmington, Delaware, who learned
through Jacob Riis of somewhat SINH
lar seals that we're sold in Norway for
the purpose of raising funds with
which to fight tuberculosis.
Miss .Bissell persuaded the Ameri-
can Red Cross to take up the idea with
the result that seals were sold in
limited number Of communities in
1905 The sale yielded a revenue Of
approximately $4,000. The Red Cross
then decided to issue the seals each
year and to turn the proceeds over to
the National Tuberculosis association
and it's 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 19O,OO0,OOO.
This year the seals are again on
sale beginning December l. More
than half a billion seals have been
printed Tor W SldlG anu
local agents. In addition to the
seals Health Bonds" in denomina-
lions ranging from SIS. 90 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
CARNATIONS call for more than $780,
900 to carry out the intensive educa-
tional campaign being conducted by
the National Tuberculosis Association
and it's 1000 affiliated societies.
The intensive sale OF these seals
represents a practical demonstration
iof 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 Of the United
States will have an opportunity to buy
Red Cross Christmas Seals.

DOUBLE BARRED CROSS
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. It was proposed by DIR.
G. Sersiron, of Paris. It is a conf
binatiop of the Croix de Lorraine and
the cross Of the Greek Catholic
church. Both crosses are symbolic of
charity and help to hunfani;x. Their
combined features were selected and
adopted as the symbol of che hope of
civilization. Four years later, in 1906
the double barred Red Cross was car
ried into this country. 1t was in 1906
the National tuberculosis Association
was formed, and for the three infer
vening years the cross has. been car
ried over the United States by the
National Tuberculosis Association and
its affiliated bodies, which now num-
Der one thousand.

financed chiefly by the Red Oruew

A recent health survey, made by the

startling statistics with regard to the
prevelency of the disease. The find

When the photographer says look natural one be- gins feeling conscious from the nape of his neck to the soles of his feet, and to look as unnatural as he feels. The only lucid interval is when the photographer says that will do.' Now good way to take photograph is when one doesn know about it."
