this disease from striking you? Hero

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.
SOME RED CROSS SEAL
FIGURES.
Few people havo any concep
tion of the magnitude of the
Ked Cross Christmas Seal Cam
palgn. Mere nre a few figures
that will show what a gigantic
movement this la. Already 115,
000. (XX) seals have beeu printed
and practically that entire num
ber distributed to agents In al
most every state in the Union.
Probably lfi.000,000 more will
l>e needed. Advertising circulars,
posters, cards, etc., to the num
ber of several million, have been
distributed. It Is estimated that
the army of paid and volunteer
workers engaged in selling seals
numbers well over 100,000. The
advertising and publicity donat
ed to the campaign amounts to
several hundred thousand dollars.
