"They spell hope, assurance and >hysleal and economic rehabilitation to lore than one million people in the United States who have tubercu isls. if you purchase enough Red Cross Christmas Seals, the death ite of this dread plague will be materially reduced. "Last year 150,000 people fell victims of the disease. Twelve thousand f these were little children. Think f it I This death toll Is needless. If e all do our part in the sale this year, next year's dearth rate will be small p. It will be reduced year by. year until eveptually tuberculosis has pass J into the oblivion which has already engulfed siryjlipox, leprosy and rpiiold fever." GROSS SEALS HE HEALTH AGENTS ^ A. ' i, .

Miss Bisaell persuaded the Amerl b Red Cross to take up the Idea with ? result that seals were sold In a Mted number of communities In & The sale yielded a revenue of proximately $3,000.

WORKERS NEEDED TO FIGHT WHITE PLAGUE National Tuberculosis Association Which Sponsors Red Cross Seal Sale, is Conducting Intensive Educational Campaign. A call for volunteers to fight under the standard of the National Tubercu losis Association and its 1000 affiliated bodies throughout the country ugainst tuberculosis ? humanity's most vicious foe ? has been sounded. A" recent health survey, made by the experts of the National Tuberculosis Association, brought to light some startling statistics with regard to the prevelency of the disease. The find ings of tliis survey have revealed a national menace, which must be eradi cated. The figures show that each year 150,000 persons die of the dis ease and that there are approximate ly 2,000,000 cases of tuberculosis In the Unltfed States today. The untaug'ht consumptive? one who does not know the rules of health, is an Indefatigable spreader of the dis ease. Wherever he goes, he leaves bfc hind him a trail of the deadly germs. The National Tuberculosis Associa tion and its affiliated bodies have en tered upon an Intensive nation-wide educational campaign. The campaign will be localized and within a short time there will be ample work for many thousand* of volunteers. The National Tuberculosis Associa tion and Its affiliated bodies are tj nanced largely by the annual sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals. To make possible the carrying out of this cam paign, more than 650,000,000 seals will be offered for sale during the holi days. State and local tuberculosis associations have at hand valuable local data regarding the disease and actual conditions In the communities where they are located. The officers Of these bodies eagerly welcome In quiries. DOUBLE BARRED CROSS ADOPTED 17 YEARS AGO The double barred Red Cross Is seventeen years old this month. In October, 1902, the International Aotl Tuberculosls Association, then meeting In Berlin, adopted the cross as the emblem of the world-wide ttght against tuberculosis. It was proposed by Dr O. Serslron, of Paris. It Is a com bination of the Croix de Lorraine and the cross of the Oreek Catholic church. Both crosses are symbolic of charity and help to humanity. Their combined features were selected and adopted as the symbol of the hope of civilisation. Four years later, In 1006 the doable barred Red Cross was car ried into this country. It was In 1900 the National Tuberculosis Assodstlon was formed, and for the three inter vsnlng years the cross has been car ried over the United States by the National Tuberculosis Assoclatloo and Its affiliated bodies, which sow sum bar one thousand. Tba voric of these organisations Is financed chiefly by the Red Great Ohrtatmas Seal sale. KKITT K8TATK 80U> I ? , l'lm? N*s?r St. M?lUirw? Itiiiif* Nearly Two Hundred Thousand.
