Society Gives Up Smoking.

Smoking has become such bOur-
geOis habit that many women of the
London aristOcracy who have been us
ing tobacco are now stunning it, at
least in public. Medical men here
have warned women frequently since
the war about the evil effects of over
indulgence in cigarettes, but 1t was
not until smoking became bourgeois
habit that any difference was noticed
In the smoking habits of women of
the sO-called upper ten"
At the moment the use of tobacco
by women has become abnormal; be-
sides, many tobacconists are manufac-
turing small briar pipes for feminine
use. This has made the habit too COM
mon to please certain figures in So
ciety, and, in consequence, they have
given up the weed. At SOME aristo-
cratic garden parties recently few if
any women of the elect ventured to
smoke openly. So what medical men
have been unable to do by their warn
ing is being rapidly accomplished by
class pride.-St. Louis POSt-DiSpatch.

Millions Of people have not only
been relieved of the most obstinate
forms of dyspepsia and indigestion
by Tanlac after other remedies have
failed, hut large numbers o! them
have reported Il remarkable and
rapid increase in weight and a
return TO normal health and strength
by its use.
In fact, so phenomenal have been
the gains in weight by thin, frail
people through the use OF TanIac
that this remarkable preparation IS
now being proclaimed everywhere
as the Worlds Greatest Tonic.
The food people eat does them
absolutely no good unless they di-
gest it properly. When you suffer
from indigestion and other forms OF
stomach trouble, the food does you
harm instead of good, because food
which is not digested stays in the
stomach and ferments, causing
pains, swelling, gas on stomach,

tenn becomes saturated with poisons,
the patient becomes thin and pale
and in time various complications
are apt to result.
Tanlac is powerful reconstruc-
tive tonic and quickly overcomes
this condition by aiding Nature to
eliminate the impurities from the
system in natural way and enable
the vital organs to properly perform
their functions. That is why it is
called Natures Medicine.
In fact, there is net single por-
ton of the body that is not benefit
ed by the helpful action of Tanlac,
which begins its work by stimulat.
ing the digestive and assimilatve
organs, thereby enriching the blood
and invigorating the entire system.
Next, it enables the weak worn-out
stomach to thoroughly digest its
food and convert the nourishing
elements into bone, blood and mus
Gle. The result is you feel strong,
sturdy and we'll with the proper
amount of flesh, IS nature intended.
Tanlac is sold by leading Drug
gists everywhere.

HoW the Christmas Seal Originated

The Christmas Seal Is now almost
as familiar as Christmas itself, and
1t Is hard to imagine time when the
seal was not In existence. But the
seal is only celebrating its fourteenth
birthday this year. Miss Emily p.
Bissell OF Delaware was the origina-
tor OF the idea in this country and II
was due to her energy that II took
such strong hold from the first. She
obtained her idea from article by
Jacob Riis in which he described the
use OF little seal in Denmark to Sc
cure funds for hospital there.
Miss Bissell, in October. 1907, pro-
posed TO the Delaware Red Cross to
put a similar seal on sale, but 1t was
not until after she had secured a
pledge of $40 from friends to back up
the project, that the now familiar
Christmas stickers were placed on
sale.
Miss Blssell secured the support OF
Philadelphia stores, the managers OF
which were very skeptical at first.
But the idea caught on from the first.
Let Miss Bissell tell the story in her
own words:
"Our utmost hope had been to sell
$4,000 seals, and this was all we had
ordered. In consequence OF having
placed such a small order, we were
not able to get successive printings
quickly enough to fill the demand; but

Michigan's Seal Sale Committee for 1921

Like so many other tuberculosis
workers, the members Of the seal COM
mittee are doing their work without
remuneration. For months past, be-
ginning long before the seal sale op-
ened, they have been giving time and
attention to shaping the plans for the
big annual sale. Mr.. Wooden, the chair
man. is a business man in Battle
Creek, but In addition to his private
business he is one OF the most active
tuberculosis workers In Michigan.
Mrs. Mautner's home Is in Saginaw,

altogether we had printed and sold
about 100000. In Wanamaker's alone,
where the advertising expert had as
sured me none could be sold, $4,000
seals were taken up by the buyers, Of
whom many were from other points
than Delaware. We also sold many
seals in the corridor OF the Philadel-
phia poSt-offlce.
with $1,000 OF the money raised
by the first Red Cross seal sale the
Delaware Red Cross paid the first In
stallment on the site OF the first
tuberculosis sanatorium in Delaware,
Hope Farm.
by this time, the interest OF the
whole state was aroused. and In the
next legislature the Red Cross backed
a bill for State tuberculosis Com
mission, with an appropriation Of
$4,000 year, and put it through both
houses unanimously, this being the
start Of the permanent tuberculosis
work in our state"
From such small beginning has
grown the tremendous volume OF seals
sold each year in every state In the
Union, 80 that they are printed in lots
or hundreds OF millions each fall by
the National tuberculosis association.
II is the little seal, which had such a
humble origin only fourteen years ago
that today practically finances the
whole tuberculosis campaign In Am
erica.

"Relected"
By Leo p. Cook.

BY Leo P. Cook.
On an early summer day or 1918 the
Michigan College Of Mines was receiv-
ing recruits for it's special training
course for soldiers. They had been
sent in by draft boards from various
parts Of the upper peninsula. AS a
reporter ! was on hand to size up the
new men and to pick up such human
interest news as might serve to dress
up the routine stuff Of the day
Out from the medical examiners
Office came a big young fellow. He
was better than six feet tall and he
probably stripped at $50. He picked
his suitcase out from among a collec-
tion in the hall and started away from
the building headed out Of the camp
us, in palpable detection. He looked
like human interest stuff and, with the
genial effrontery that reporter
knows how TO get away with after a
few years OF practice, | accosted him.
To put II bluntly the youth had been
declined by his country in need be-
cause he had TB. He was tuberculous,
q consumptive.
Up to that moment | had rather en-
tertained the idea, at least for some
years, that 1t was nothing short of
criminal for a man to permit himself
to become a tuberculosis victim, and
especially in Houghton county. Had
we not been educating the people
Had | not written literally hundreds
OF columns of educational matter on
the Great White Plague? We had
preached the open window, and clean
living, and outdoor air and good food,
and here was a great, husky chap
splendid material for a soldier, who
was going home, maybe to die.
He typifed to me the necessity for
eternal vigilance, for persistent, un
firing perseverance In the work
against the plague. And that is why
the state and country associations
must be maintained at their fullest
capacity and their highest efficiency
not for a time but forever more.
And he is but one OF legion, and
want to do my little share in prevent
ing such tragedies by making the or
ganized fight against tuberculosis q
vigorous one in every county in the
state. Some of us cannot engage In
that work actively, but all OF us car
help 1t by pushing the Christmas sea-
sale at Christmas time. The seals are
the ammunition in the battle against
this disease and we can all help &c
provide more ammunition by buying
seals ourselves and encouraging 9th
ers to buy.

"The organized women OF the state

that tuberculosis takes among work

as this disease takes at least one out
