' • ' , , •"> - ' | WORKERS NEEDED TO FIGHT WHITE PLAGi^ 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 against 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 this 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 United States today. The untaught consumptive—one who does not know the rules of health, is an indefatigable spreader of the dis ease. Wherever he goes, he leaves be 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 thousands of volunteers. The National Tuberculosis Associa tion and its affiliated bodies are fi nanced largely hy 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 welcoma In quiries. DOUBLE BARKED CBOSS ADOPTED 17 YEARS AGO The double barred Red Cross is seventeen years old this month. In October,. 1902 t the. International Anti WORLD PROBLEMS TO B SOCIAL, moral and political problems con fronting not only this country but all the other nations of the world will be discuss ed by speakers of national and international reputation at the Third World's Christian Citi zenship Conference to be held in Pittsburgh during Armistice week, November 9 to 16, under the auspices of the National Reform Association. Among the problems this Con ference will consider are the relation of capita] nr.d labor, *he means to lasting world peace, anarchy and the white sSave traffic. osis Association, thelTmeetlng un, adopted the cross as the emblem of the world-wide fight against tuberculosis. It was proposed by Dr. G. Sersiron, of Paris. It is a com bination of the Croix de Lorraine and the cross of the Greek 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 civilization. Four years later, in 1906, the double barred Red Cross was car ried into this country. It was in 1906, the National Tuberculosis Association was fortned, and for the three inter vening years the cross has been car ried over the United States by the National Tuberculosis Association and Its affiliated bodies, which now num ber one thousand. The work of these organization financed chiefly by the Red Cross Christmas Seal sale. Quaint Island. Elmley, one of England's oddest little islands, though only 48 miles from London, is a parish where roads, shops, lamps, telephones, motor cars, public houses and postoflices are un known. The island, which lies off the Isle of Sheppey, Kent, has an area of about 2,000 acres, and is the property of Oxford university. The Inhabitants are mostly shepherds of large flocks of sheep. The oldest man of the village is in his seventieth year. He has yet to see a motor car. The school and church are the two chief landmarks on the island. The rea son they were built in such a sparsely populated spot is that in winter it Is almost Impossible to leave the Island, as the ferry which runs to and from the Island Is dangerous. A novel method of obtaining th« services of the ferryman, who lives opposite to the islanjl, is the open ing of the white door of a hut facing the shore. At night a lighted candle held aloft serves the purpose of the open door. Ring Fingers, The third finger of the left hand Is "the" ring finger; that Is the en gagement ring is worn there, and the wedding ring. Rings may also be worn on the little fingers of each hand. -■-.. nil-.-IT— ' REDFIELD BEATS HIGH COST OF SHOES > \ William C.

It is also neat and nifty in appearance, as this photograph of the Redfield feet shows. Not Always Happy. It is customary but I think it is a mistake, to speak of "happy" child hood. Children are often overanxious and acutely sensitive. Man ought to be man and master of his fate; but children are at the mercy of those around them. Mr. Rarey, the great horse-tamer, has told us that he has known an angry word to raise the pulse of a horse ten beats in a minute. Think then how it must affect a child! —Lord Avebury.

"Yes." replied Mr. Meek ton. "Henrietta is not only a power ful hand in a regular argument, but she has gifts for prolonged discourse that would make her a wonder at fili bustering." Vibrations Make Sound. Anything stretched is likely to bo thrown into vibration, or made to tremble, by the force of the air blow ing against it. If it vibrates so fast as to produce the air waves that our | ear can hear, then that is what we ' call sound. This is what happens to the telegraph wires when they hum; and if we put our hand on the tele graph pole we shall feel that the wires vibrate strongly enough to set the whole pole to trembling, too. When the air is quite still you will not hear the telegraph lines humming. Not For Him. Mrs. Newlywed—"Henry, do you re member Jack Watson? Well, he has just been married, and to a girl of ab solutely no family at all." Mr. New lywed (looking sadly around at the collection of his wife's relatives) — "A-a-a-h-h me! Some men do have good luck!" Game in Mexico. Mexico cannot be said to offer a field for hunters of big game, and the term, "a sportsman's paradise." which is sometimes applied to it. is an ex aggeration. Among animals may be enumerated the peccaries or javelines, deer, rabbits, hares. The reptiles in clude alligators, turtles and iguanas. Whales, seals and sea lions are en countered on the Pacific coast. —New York Telegram. Conception of Cultivation. Cultivation a generation ago meant acquaintance with letters and the fine arts, and some knowledge of at least two languages and literatures, and of history. The term "cultivation" is now much more inclusive. It includes ele mentary knowledge of the sciences, and it ranks high the subjects of his tory, government and economics.— Charles W. Eliot, in Atlantic. Produces Patriotism. A people that studies its own past and rejoices in the nation's proud mem ories is likely to be a patriotic people, the bulwark of law and the courageous champion of right in the hour of need. —Joseph Anderson.
