Miss Hoanlnmn says in “Under the Red Cross Flag’:’* . “The charter of the American Bed Cross places the duty upon It of miti gating the sufferings caused hy pesti lence ami the devising of measures to prevent the same. No more dangerous and Insidious pestilence exists than that which is called the grout white plague—no country or nation is free from its ravages. It requires not only the skill of the specialists, to combat It, but the earnest co-nperatton of the entire nntlon, rich and poor, old and young." During the jfast seven years over 18,800,000 have been raised hy the sale of tiie Christinas seal for active work in comonting tuberculosis. Ninety per cent of the profits on the sale of seals belongs to the community in which they are,sold. The remaining ten per cent goes to the Red Cross and le used to defray the expenses of print ing seals, posters, and other advertis ing matter. If any money remains after the&e things- are paid for, it is divided between the Bed Cross and the National Society for tho-Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. .
