BUY YOUR SEALS

Yesterday opened the annual cam
pagn for the sale of Christmas seals to
aid in the anti-tuberculosis fight.
The Christmas seal has reached place
in the lives of Americans through recent
years that makes it real part of Christ
mas A Christmas without seals might
lust as we'll be minus Christmas trees,
WreathS or presents.
Indisputable proof of the effective
work carried on by the money collected
from the sale of Christmas seals is pre-
sented to the people of Imperial county
in the work accomplished at the health
camp in Hipass each summer, and in the
relatively few cases of tuberculosis eX-
isting in this county.
The cost of the seals is small and their
use not only stamps the user as one who
is thoroughly imbued with the Christmas
spirit. but also marks him as one who is
doing his share in aiding one of the most
humanitarian works in which the Amer
lean people are engaged.
Those to whom you send Christmas
gifts like to see them bearing the Christ
mas seals. Next to a personal greeting.
they are the best means of extending
Christmas wishes.
Be sure you get your Christmas seals
You cannot use too many of them and
there is an abundant supply at all times
