to put few thousand scc!rr into circu-
lation. Stores, newspapers and
woman's clubs all supported her with
great enthusiasm from the first. Thru
such generous and united effort, three
hundred thousand, to her number be-
yond all her dreams, were sold that
first year and $1,000 was paid on a
site of the first tuberculosis sana-
torium in Delaware, known as Hope
Farm.
From the beginning, all those in
terested in the movement realized
that their task should be to spread a
knowledge of the disease, to teach the
public that it might be prevented and
thereby decrease its enormous death
toll. From the very start then, the
campaign to fight tuberculosis has
been an Educational Campaign.
AS result of Miss Bissell'c demon
stration and earnest pleading, the
American Red Cross decided to take
up the enterprise on nationwide
scale the next year, 1908. The pre-
sent organization was hadicappped by
lack of funds and agin Miss Bissell
found the necessary bankers who

without the little Christmas stickers.
And why? Because every Health
Seal that appears on letters, cards
or bundle shows that it's purchaser has
given a helpful thought to somebody
less fortunate. And Christmas is the
season when everybody feels the spirit
of doing for others.
Born in a Woman's Brain.
The tiny seals are sold in order that
everybody who buys may become a
working partner in the great campaign
to stamp out tuberculosis. Such a
stupendous amount of good has been
brought about through these yearly
sales that every seal bears message
of vast accomplishment and undaunted
courage. Each seal tells the story OF
woman and her followers who had
sufficient faith in their convictions to
Oxford eagle., 1922-12-21

carry on nationwide crusade against
the disease. tuberculosis. That their
work has been successful cannot be
doubted when it is realized that IN
these years of selling seals the death
rate in this country has been cut IN
half. The message of such a seem
ingly impossible feat is surely worth
while spreading.
Fifteen years ago, woman with a
vision, Miss Emily P. Bissell, OF
Wilmington, Delaware, conceived the
idea of raising funds to help IN anti
tuberculosis work of her state. She
had read in the Outlook magazine an
article by Jacob Riis on the Christmas
stamp sold in Denmark for the sup
port of children's hospital.
At the time Miss Bissell was secre-
tary of the Delaware Red Cross Chap
ter. With but $4,000 secured from
two friends, as her capital she obtain
ed the official consent of her chap
ter and of the postoffice authorities

shared her faith. She personally un-
dertook the task of writing to 1000
newspaper editors throughout the
country, asking them to publish the
fact that orders for seals should be
sent to national headquarters. The
result was veritable flood of orders.
Later on the National tuberculosis
Association was invited to participate
and for years this partnership arrange
ment was continued until 1919 the
National tuberculosis Association be-
cause sole and exclusive proprietor Of
the tuberculosis Christmas seal idea.

 The facts that seem to have initiated most against the strikers winning cut are that they left the one cotton nanu- featuring plant where the last reduction of 22 1-2 per cent. in wages had not been put into effect and where the workers were laboring only 50 hours a week as against 54 hours for other plants man. ufacturing similar lines of goois.
