BALL HIGHLY
COMMENDS XMAS SEALS
Notes Decline of tuberculosis
in Delaware and Praises
SocietY's Work.

United States Senator L. ii. BAH,
In telegram TO Miss Emily p. Bissell
OF the Delaware Anti-Tuberculosis So
ciety warmly commends the Christ
mas seal sale and expresses the hope
that IL will be great success this
year. In his message Senator Ball
says:
II am pleased to note significant de-
cline in tuberculosis death rate In
Delaware from one hundred and eighty
two (per hundred thousand) in 1914
10 one hundred and forty-four tper
hundred thousand) in 1920. and con-
gratulate Delaware Anti-Tuberculosis
Society on it's share in this result. l
strongly commend your work and sim
cerely hope that this fourteenth an
nual Christmas seal sale will result
In greatly increased revenue for your
association. You may count on my
support.
Lewis Heisler Ball"
II was the Christmas seal that first
raised the money for the first pay
ment made on Hope Farm. That was
I'm 1907, when 100000 of the seals
were sold in Delaware and Philadel-
phia. The next year saw the spread
Of the idea over the whole United
States and the seals We're sold by mill
lions. Nowadays they are issued all
most into the billions. and though
they only cost cent, they finance
almost all the tuberculosis work in
America.
The Christmas seal in Delaware has
always been educational and forward
looking. For two years It has raised
enough to finance the medical inspec-
ton OF schools under Mrs. Joseph
Bancroft's skillful management. This
work has been proved out. and is
now taken over by combination OF
various agencies, and assured for the
coming year.
The travelling clinic and tuberculosis
exhibit. started by the Christmas Seal
Fund two years ago. has also been
kept up until the State Tuberculosis
Commission with its increased ap-
preparations. would take 1t over, under
DIR. Albert Robin.
/ Now that these are provided for, the
Christmas Seal turns this year toward
an acute point of need. Brandywine
Sanatorium came within an ace of
closing last June, on account of lack
OF funds. II must be helped through
this hard winter. The sick poor VII

HOPPING is business
~ getting the best val
ue for the outlay, and
laying out the least for the
value returned, that can be
managed.
Christmas shopping is
business with a distinct
time-limit. Within the past
five minutes, the mere
glance at the date-line over
this page has given some
good people a jolt-maybe
not you.
But the days, to the un-
aware and the aware alike,
are marching swiftly to-
ward that inexorable time
limit for the selection and
delivery of the most appro-
pirate and welcome Christ
mas gift for each and
every person on ones list.
One takes care Of the
home-folks first. usually
and properly: those whose
pleasure is ones own deep
est pleasure, those whose
practical needs one loves to
anticipate by surprising
them with the thing they
would otherwise have had
to buy themselves.
Perhaps with the thing
much finer than they would
have dared TO indulge
themselves in.
Possibly with the thing
they had resigned them
selves, with a sigh, to going
without!
TF THE home folks have
a home, what more
practical and enduring
gift than a piece Of good
furniture?
Wanamaker's is full Of
fine, high-quality furniture
of all conceivable kinds;
not merely suits, but pieces,
for 1t is only the exception
al suit among our furniture,
whether for dining-room,
bedroom or living-room, of
which we will not sell a
piece separately if so de-
sired.
All the furniture prices
are moderate, in considera-
tion of the qualities; mod
crate also, when compared
with general retail prices
on goods of the same grade.
(But it is some trouble
to find goods of the same
grade elsewhere).
Any costly furniture you
may encounter here, you
may be confident is worth
every dollar of the figure
on its ticket; any inexpens-
i've furniture you may see
here, you may be assured
is safe and sound to invest
in, we'll constructed, and
free from the blight of bad
taste.

no "job-lot" goods
nor experimental
stuff rushed in to sell
"cheaply" for Christmas.
That kind of merchan-
disc is never foisted off on
the public at Wanamaker's,
and it Is because of this
well-known fact that a sale
here is so eagerly attended,
so thoroughly appreciated.
These pieces--they are
all for the bedroom-are
the kind we know all about.

them-that is, with their
exact duplicates --- 3 u M
mered and wintered with
them, on our furniture
floors, for a long enough
time for them to have
demonstrated their worth
and their wear as the best

furniture in the country.

prices have lost, for the
period of the sale, exactly
one-fourth each, they GER
tainly won't lose any popu-
