Seal Benefits Every
Person Says Governor
The Christmas Seal campaign
against tuberculosis has benefited all
the citizens of Pennsylvania, accord-
ing to Governor Fisher, who is Hono-
rary Chairman of the Christmas Seal
Committee for Pennsylvania, The
Governor said:
“The great united campaign against
tuberculosis has been of unusual
value to Pennsylvania because it has
benefited every community and all the
citizens of each community have prof-
ited in various ways.
“Foremost in this effort stands the
saving of thousands of lives annually,
which means so much in the family
life of the State. Economically, the
campaign has benefited practically all
cyclones. His education was lacking
in nothing that would form a ground
work for wonderful stories of the ad
ventures of men under the most try
And so it came to pass that the son
repaid his father for all that he had
done for him, out of the proceeds of
the sale of his first book, the title of
which was, “Her Passionate Hour.”"—

“The bright little Christmas Seal
has represented the heart of our peo-

culosis, a preventable disease, but
which is no respecter of persons. In
this, the twentieth annual appearance
of the Christmas Seal, I am confident
it will be welcomed as an important
aid in further reducing the ravages
of the White Plague.”
DIAGNOSIS CAMPAIGN
A more intensive fight against tu-
berculosis in Pennsylvania next year,
which will include an Early Diagnosis
Campaign, was outlined and ap-
proved by the directors of the Penn-
sylvania Tuberculosis Society. To
make possible this enlarged health
campaign, a goal of $600,000 in the
1927 Christmas Seal sale was set for
Pennsylvania.
The Early Diagnosis Campaign,
which will be nation-wide, will be di-
rected in this State by the Pennsyl-
vania Tuberculosis Society, with the
co-operation of its affiliated organiza-
tions and the medical societies.
Tuberculosis Battle
Only Half Finished
Col. Henry W. Shoemaker, in an-
nouncing his acceptance of the Christ-
mas Seal Chairmanship, appealed to
Pennsylvanians to rally to the half-
finished task of conquering the plague
of tuberculosis. Colonel Shoemaker
said:
“A half-finished task faces Penn-
sylvanians in the fight to wipe out
tuberculosis. In 1906 the death rate
from tuberculosis in Pennsylvania was
151 per 100,000 and in 1926 the rate
was 77 per 100,000.
“Notwithstanding the fine progress
made in combatting the White Plague,
it took the lives of 7891 Pennsyl-
vanians in 1926 and it is still our
most costly disease. Much work re-
mains to be done against this pre-
ventable disease, which claims the
majority of its victims between 20
and 45 years of age. Besides the
heavy loss through death, there is a
terrific drain on the welfare of the

Strawberry Tree
Apart from naturalists and botan-
ists there are probably few people
who are aware of the existence of the
strawberry tree, as distinct from the
strawberry plant.
Yet there is such a tree. It usually
bears flowers about the end of Sep-
tember or beginning of October, and
along with the flowers are found the
fruits of the previous year.
The fruit is a large orange-red
berry, closely resembling the straw-
berry; hence the name of the tree.
The strawberry tree is not a native
of England, and in this country is sel-
dom found outside parks and gar-
dens, but in Ireland it is frequently
found growing wild, especially in the
neighborhood of Killarney.
Nelson’s Column
The Nelson column in Trafalgar
square, London, cost the comparative-
ly small sum of £28,000, including the
statue, but excluding Landseer’'s four
lions, which were not added until
1868, nearly twenty-five years after
the completion of the memerial itself.
This long delay in the delivery of the
lions sorely tried the public's patience.
and when they were eventually forth-
coming opinion was by no means unani-
mous concerning their artistic merit.
Many cruel jests were uttered at their
expense, one being that the old lion

fused to acknowledge them as breth-
ren.
Reason and Instinct
The amount of conscious reason

blind impulse and inborn tendency
that impel him, is like his artificial

is an artificial light In the sense that
it is not one with the light of nature
and in the sense that men possess fit

mals have only a gleam of it now and

Predicts Earth Will Stop
If the earth continues to slow up in
its rotation, Doctor Crommelin, Eng-
lish astronomer, says it will cease to
rotate in a “few millions of years,”
owing to the friction of the tides, ac
cording to Capper’s Weekly. When
that happens one-half of the world
will be in sunshine and the other half
in perpetual darkness—anything but
a pleasant situation. But that needn't
bother us now. Besides, there Is a

Carlyle. Irving did more to rouse

Clung to Sea Serpent
Since the days of the first seafarers

with awful monsters, the belief in
sea serpents and similar marine won-

In modern times sea serpents were

monster of great size, having many
characteristics of the sea serpent of
the popular imagination. After long
discussion, however, the scientific

Flint Axes of Stone
Age Found in Sweden
The 4,500-year-old-stock-in-trade of
a Stone age peddler in flint axes has
been found by some workmen in a
gravel pit in the Swedish province of
Soedermanland. The peddler’s hoard
consisted of a number of light-gray
flint axes of exquisite shape and work-
manship, evidently hidden in the
ground by the trader, who seems to
have wandered a long way from the
south of Sweden to barter his axes for
the precious furs of the hunters of the
Soendermanland forests. The poor
peddler seems to have met his death.
