BEVERLY HAYES
Beverly Hayes says: "Buy ited Cross Christmas Seals. TlTey protect
(tie children from the ravages of tuberculosis. They hulld a barrier of
ealth about the workers of the nation. They protect homes? your home.
"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."

Miss Bisaell persuaded the Amerl

proximately $3,000. The Red Gross

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

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.
