firesides worse warfare. Three thou
sand deaths In our own State last year
came from the horrible missiles sent
forth from the enemy We call the
white plague. The very flower Of our
manhood and womanhood and beauti.
full childhood wither under the pol.
soned gases this monster emits. The
attractive homes of today are covered
with pail tomorrow because The white
plague is allowed to go on his way.

taur of Crete with curdled blood, be-
cause an annual offering of one maid.
en- and one boy was demanded by the
monster The white plague is never
satisfied though his victims are mil.
Hons in the great world.
It is high time to awake and destroy
this enemy. What can we do? Every
man, woman and child took part in
the later world war and shared in the
glorious victory. It is equally the duty
now to have like enrolment against
tuberculosis. The Red Cross Seals are
within the reach of all and the pro-
ceeds from the sale of the Rcd Cross
Seals go toward destroying some of the
pernicious germs which threaten your
own home Every new member is a
volunteer to aid his comrades In taking
the trenches OF this enemy, whose ma
chine guns are doing fearful damage
wherever turned.
Our governor has wisely issued q
proclamation regarding the duty Of
our citizens In the warfare against the
white plague. Christian people are
praying and splendid physicians are
giving their best thought to end the
battle. Every one In Arkansas can at
least put Red Cross Seal on the little
message that goes out at Christmas in
memory of the Christ Child. Under
His blessing the beautiful roses on the
checks of happy life shall soon escape
the foul breath that blights so much
that Is lovely in the world today.

People are buying homes, and 9TH
ers are wanting homes that they can
not get. 1t is a good sign to see
people buying and building homes;
it keeps down the spirit of unrest
and builds up the country, for homes
make the country. Transients do not
build up a country but home buyers
do, and every man shold be encour-
aged and given every opportunity to
own home. The man who owns his
little home in the town or country, is
identified with that particular spot;
he feels that he is a part of it and
that he should take an interest in all
that concerns the public in that To-
cality.
