losis Association has
Bonds for sale. Not the
usual sort of bonds which
represent the money
which is expected to re
suit, but does not always
do so, from an oil well or
a gold mine, but Health
BONDS, much more important thing
Ine Health Bonds look exactly like
the other sort. They are all printed
IN green and blue curlycues, and are
decorated with lovely and impressive
looking lettering. At the very top OF
the front fold there is a dnnblc-i1ar.
reu cross, and that shows at once
what the bonds stand for, for the
double-bared cross is the symbol un.
der which the fight against tubercu.
losis is conducted all over the coun-
try.
The lettering reads as follows:
THE CRUSADE OF THE DOUBLE
BARRED CROSS,
HEALTH BOND.
Interest Payable In Improved commu-
nifty Health.
Within is legal-like writing which
begins quite properly, This is to
certify" and goes on to say that

sponsible to the holder of this bond
for the conduct of national program
for the study and prevention of tuber-
culosis," and that the amount invest
ed SIS payable to the holder of it in

and community health by the methods
outlined in the coupons attached, and
entities the holder with all of the
other citizens of his community to
expect free advice and consultation in

1t is then signed and sealed-sealed
with a Christmas tuberculosis seal
and consequently has a wonderfully
imposing look.
Each of the ten coupons attached
bears some pledge, such as;
The campaign against tuberculosis
will seek by the introduction of the
modern Health Crusade to train all
school children in correct habits.
The Crusade against tuberculosis
will aim to provide public health
nurses with a knowledge of tubercu
losis in every community, to give
proper home care and instruction to
all cases needing it.
The Crusade against tuberculosis
will provide where possible dispens
aries and consulting experts to assist
physicians in the discovery of early
and suspected cases Of tuberculosis.
Health Bonds are sold by the
Maryland tuberculosis Association to
those persons who feel that they
would like to invest five dollars or
more in the fight against tubercu-
losis, in place of the penny seals,
though they may have the seals if they
wish them.
The bonds are in denominations of
from S. to $1,000, and no matter in
what company Of bonds its buyer
places one, it will shine out in con-
trast as the superior of all. Even if
it's neighbor in the safety deposit
box represents an oil well, from which
hundreds of barrels Of oil gush per
day, the modest little Health Bond
is much the more valuable. Oil is all
very well, money is all very well,
but neither avail much if you or your
wife, or your son, or your favorite
daughter are dying with tuberculosis.
The Maryland tuberculosis Assoc
citation feels that everyone who buys
Health Bond will have a brighter
merrier Christmas than ever before,
for he has taken step in safeguard
ing himself, his loved ones, and his
community that he will never regret.
