In Alaska

sary to life The aristocrats of Arctic
dog life are the mail teams in the
service of the United States govern
ment.

WHAT THE LITTLE CHRISTMAS
TUBERCULOSIS SEAL DOES
FOR HUMANITY

First and most obvious. but moi
nosl important, the Christmas Seal
IL means for raising money for the
campaign against tuberculosis.
Second. the Christmas Seal is
means for awakening interest so that
large numbers OF all kinds of people
are led to read and talk about tuber.
culosis.
Ihlrd, the Christmas Seal provides
an opportunity for anyone and every.
one, almost without limitation of cir.
cumstances or condition to render
some real help IN the fight against
tuberculosis.
Fourth, the Christmas Seal creates
the possibility of spreading an enormous
amount of actual information in such
form and manner as largely to in.
crease the general knowledge about
tuberculosis.
Fifth, the Christmas Seal through
the annual intensive campaign of
few weeks, eniists large numbers Of
individuals and groups who. give
something Of time, thought and effort
for the common good in the warfare
against tuberculosis.
Sixth, the Christmas Seal, there.
fore, gives to increasing numbers OF
people sense of a great common in.
terest. an opportunity for aiding
financially, and the chance of helping
actively welfare movement which
is of interest to the entire community
the whole of the State and the nation
as well.
Seventh, the Christmas Seal thus
becomes, under the guise Of bit of
colored and gummed paper N real
and active factor in helping people
to make the world "a better place in
which to live in more ways than
merely to help rid mankind OF tuber-
