"For the Floalth of This Com
munity." Such is the slogan
appearing on the flap of enve
lopes on which the lied Cross
Christmas Sea! is printed. The issue
of such envelopes in order to save the
trouble of affixing gummed seals to
letters sent out in quantity by large
corporations and business houses has
been Inaugurated this year as part of
the machinery of distribution set in
motion by the National Tuberculosis
Association and Its 1,000 State and lo
cal organizations in disposing of more
than 650,000,000 Red Cross Christmas
Seals during the ten day sale which
began on December l.
The significance of the slogan lies in
the fact that < whether the letter Is
mailed In Los Angeles or Boston, In
Chicago or in Galveston it still holds
true. "This community" literally
means the place where the seal Is
bought and used. To be exact? 91.7
per cent of the funds raised is devoted
to local antituberculosis activities In
the state. Of the remaining 8.3 per
cent a portion goes to the Red Cross, j
WILSON ENDORSES STAMP 8ALE.
President Wiehee "The' Very Beet Suc
cess" for the 1919 Red Cross Xmas
Seal Campaign.
President Wilson, In a letter
to Dr. Charles J. Hat
field, Managing Director of
the National Tuberculosis
Association, expresses keen interest in I
the work of the association and wishes
success to the 1919 Red Cross Christ- !
mas Seal sale. More than 650,000,000 |
seals must be sold during the ten day :
drive which began on December L, to
assure a one hundred per cent appli
cation of the Association's 1920 educa
.tlonal and preventive campaign. The
President's letter follows:
"Allow me to express again my deep
interest in the work of the National
Tuberculosis Association. I am very
much interested to learn of the efforts
of the Association to raise the sum
of six and one-half million dollars that
the state budgets may be financed for
the coming year, and write to wish the I
very best success of the effort."
CHILDREN.
David Starr Jordan says:
"There Is nothing In all
the world so Important as
little children ; nothidg to
Interesting. If you wish to go in
for philanthropy, if ever you wish
to be of any use in the world, do
something for little children. If
ever you yenrn t<> be truly wise,
Ptudy children. We can dress the
sore, bandage the wound, Imprison
the criminal, heal the sick and
bury the dead, but there Is always
a chance that we can save the
Child. If the great army of phi
lanthropists Sorer exterminate sin
and pestilence, ever work out the
race's salvation, it will be because
a little child has led them."

CHRISTMAS ACTS AS TONIC
??
Happy and Exhilarating Mental 8pirlt
Has Good Effect on People, De- ,
clare Medical Observers.
Close observers in the ranks of the
medical profession have noted one very
Interesting fact concerning the Christ
mas season? that it generally has a
good tonic effect upon their patients.
In explanation of this the London
Lancet says ihnt since Christmas has
come to be regarded as a time for
g9?d cheer, a un^ersal feeling of con- I
tentment and happiness is engendered
at this time of joyousness, routine Is
for a while relieved, a certain fresh
ness Is given to the daily round, dif
ferences of opinion are sunk, and a
charitable spirit prevails. Js It, by
the way, hoping for too much that the
season of good fellowship should leave
some lasting effect upon the manners
and methods of all?
It may not be easy to trace exactly
why this sense of exhilaration and*
well-being comes with the advent of
Christmas, for the psychological fac
tors concerned are not simple. But
the main point lMhat the mental state
does everybody good, and the annual
festivity is Just ad excellent an insti
tution as the prescription of the physi
cian which gives tone and vigor to the
struggle in life's race. There is no
need nowadays, thanks to the good
sense of the people and the counsels
of their medical advisers, to moralise
about the evils of a stupid indulgence
In food, alcohol and tobacco on a fes
tive occasion such as the present.
Practically everybody realizes the
great physiological advantages of be
ing wise on a merrw occasion and the
disadvantages of berng a fool.
Many more persons than formerly
feel where use ends and abuse begins,
and they act sensibly accordingly ; and
so far from It being a crime to make
the season festive by enjoying, on a
little extended scale perhaps, the
creature comforts of life, some decided
good is done to both the mental and
physical health of the individual.
The festive season may, therefore,'
be welcomed which brings cheer to
thousands, which induces the generous
and charitable to brace the mental and
physical functions of the community
at large, giving It the opportunity of.
relinqulshing its business and its wor
ries for a time, to start again re*
' freshed and ready for "the trivial
round, the common task."- The pre*
scrlptlon "A Merry Christmas" ia
sound so long as the "signature" of]
good sense Is observed.
ESPECIALLY AFTER CHRISTMA*.
Miss Itomantlque ? You men ? before
marriage yon pay compliment*, but
after ?
Mr. Wise ? We pay the bllla.
' Christmas.
It If) a blessed thing to believe In
Christmas and all that it means. It
la a blessed thing to be able to hear
the song of the heavenly visitors. It
