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.

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

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

wedding ring. Rings may also be worn
on the little fingers of each hand.

REDFIELD BEATS HIGH COST OF SHOES
> \
William C. Redfield, secretary of commerce, has found a way to beat the
high cost of shoes. He has his made of shark skin. Shark leather is both
cheap and durable. 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.
Turned White Overnight.
A black cat which was accidentally
locked in a safe at Athens, Ga., dupli

next morning the cat walked out. un
harmed. but perfectly white.
Age of \Vr r -i;n.

yet women have little to say al. air
their age.—Cincinnati Times-Star.
Equipped.
"Do you think your wife would ex
ceMn statesmanship if she had an op
portunity?" "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

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.
