Happiness to Many.
Harrisburg, Pa.—*“The Red Closs
Seal—as milliens of Americans know |
it today,” said E. J. Stackpole, chair-
man of the Pennsylvania State Scal
committee, “is an agent of happiness
and health. The seal was originated
in 1907 by Miss Emily P. Bissell, of
i Wilmington, Delaware, . who learned
through Jacob Riis of somewhat smi
lar seals that were sold ia Norway fo:
the purpose of raising ‘funds with
which to fight tuberculosis,
“Miss Bissell persuaded the Ameri: |
can Red Cross to take up the Idea
with the result ‘that seals were sold in
a limited pumber of communities in

Criticism and
Citizenship
It is the plain, public duty of every
citizen to criticize proposed govern-
ment measures believed to be harmful.
~ Swift & Company is in a better pos-
ition perhaps, than others, to under- :
stand the meat packing business in all is
its relations to public and private inter- Uc
ests, even though the others may have
been giving the subject
Swift & Company is convinced that
interference with its legitimate business
function by governmental agencies,
however well intentioned, would be an
injury to every man, woman and
as to the men:who raise the meat and
to those who ‘dress and “distribute it.
Maximum service that cannot
monopolize ‘because of keen competi-
tion ‘and lack of controi over sources
of supply is furnished at a minimum
of profit—a fraction of a cent per
pound from all sources. |
Therefore Swift & Company is
taking every legitimate step of citizen-
ship to prevent such interference.
