RED CROSS SEALS DECREASE TUBERCULOSIS RATE. "Would to God your work bad started llfty years ago." woh the comment of mi Arizona consumptive in writing the other day to Dr. Iloyt E. Pearholt, ex ecutivo aecretary of the Wisconsin Anti tuberculosis association Part of the letter follows: "Fine work, old chap! That decrease in the death rate seems a remarkable K?ln to me. I had not expected results as soon as that. I have always laughed nt the authorities who claimed that In ten years a cane of tuberculosis would be as rare as one of smallpox Is today. The bad work of centuries cannot be undone In ten years, and so I marvel at your wonderful progress. I trust the errors in statistics, if any. are all In your favor. You inspire me. Would to Ood your work had started fifty years ago. Probably then the disease would have missed me." The letter contained a check fur Red Cross Seals, from the sale of which the entire support of the Wisconsin work Is derived. Every seal you buy Is a bul let in the fluht against tuberculosis. ELLEN EXPLAINS RED CROSS SEALS. Ellen, who Is seven years old and lives out in Kansas City, came home from school the other day with a red green and white "subscription card" the teacher had given her. Her mother had seen something about Red Cross Seals in the paper, but didn't know Just what it was all about "Oh." said the seven-year-old proud ly, "don't you know? They use the money to take care of sick folks? sick folks that haven't got uny money to Lake care of etnseives. The money they get from the Santy Clans seals goes to run a hospital for those folks And they pay doctors and nurses to teach people how to get well and how not to get sick. Teacher told us all about it. See, this paper tells." Then Ellen's mother read the folder that small daughter had brought home, telling how often tuberculosis can be prevented, and when she had finished she signed the card for a liberal nuin ber of seals.
