Catch—

PRICES today are below
“sea-level”, if we may be permit-
ted to use the frase as a simile for par.
They’ ke actually “sub” pric-
es in the sense that many commod-
” dit and principally - the necessities of life, are
being sold below cost of production, or at least be-
low the cost at which merchants, manufacturers
and wage-earners can continue to produce them and
maintain normal standards of living.
What, then, is the inevitable
° ° 99
result? Prices must come “up for air’
.. .national and individual prosperity demands it
and the upturn is immediately in the offing.
Today’s prices are depress-
ion prices. They can only be com-
pared with prices during other periods of depres-
sion of past years....they cannot remain in this
country any more than depression can continue in a
country so basically prosperous in resources, in en-
terprise, in wealth, in commercial and industrial
leadership.
These are conditions which
will, and are already, adjusted them-
selves. . .by inevitable laws of economics,
We've reached the low...
and at the low is the time to buy.
With Food, Clothing, Furniture and almost every-
thing else at the lowest prices in 15 years; with the
purchasing power of your dollar greater today by
40% to 100% than at any time since the war sure-
ly it’s time to stock up. ..even to buy beyond your
immediate needs because unless you buy now, or
very soon, you're surely going to pay more. . .when
prices come “up for air.”

Fighting a Health Hazard
The 1932 Christmas Seal pie-
tures a boy and a girl singing a
hymn of thanks for the protection
Christmas Seals have given them
and a plea for continuing that
protection,
Seals sell for one cent each and
Health Bonds for $56 to $1,000,
Extraordinary economies are
being accomplished in conducting
the Seal sale through generous
voluntary assistance and other
means.
Seals and Bonds provide funds
for the work of the united local,
state and national tuberculosis
societies in combating the White
Plague and improving health con-
ditions.
This work is carried on by the
Pennsylvania Tuberculosis Society
and its 100 affiliated organizations
throughout Pennsylvania.
Tuberculosis kills an average of
15 persons daily in Pennsylvania
and it is the most destructive of
all diseases in the ages 15 to 45.
Tuberculosis thrives on under-
nourishment, worry and strain
and a considerable increase in
tuberculosis cases is reported this
year.

Big Problem Ahead
“We have arrived at the cross-
roads in the battle against tubercu-
losis,” was the statement of Hon.
Jchn 8. Fisher, former Governor, in
announcing his acceptance of the
chairmanship of the Christmas Seal
sale in Pennsylvania.
“The effort to overcome this in-
sidious disease has resulted in a de-
clining death rate for 25 years,”
continued Mr. Fisher. “One result
has been a mistaken complacency that
the White rlagiié is not a serious
problem. The fact is the tubercu-
losis death toll among our young
people is such that no other health
problem is more far reaching in its
economic and social consequences.
“Tuberculosis kills more people
between the ages of 15 and 45 than
any other disease and it is the great-
est cause of death between 20 and
40 years, including accidents. Of
every five persons who die between
15 and 45 one succumbs to tubercu-
losis. One out of every three young
women who die between 15 and 30
is taken by this disease. No other
communicable disease kills as many
persons under 21 as tuberculosis.
There are more than 50,000 cases of
tuberculosis in Pennsylvania today.
Each one of these cases can infect
hundreds.”
Danger from Tuberculosis
Increases, Say Governor
“A fighting chance to overcome
tuberculosis hangs in the balance.
Progress in overcoming the disease
is endangered by the depression.”
This health challenge to the people
of Pennsylvania was expressed by
Governor Pinchot in announcing his
acceptance of the honorary -chair-
manship of the Christmas Seal sale
in Pennsylvania. The Governor said
further:
“In 45 Pennsylvania counties signs
point to an increace in tuberculosis.
“Tuberculosis thrives on over-
crowding and undernourishment.
“Official health agencies and medi-
cal men have the constant assistance
of tuberculosis organizations affili-
ated with the Pennsylvania Tuber-
culosis Society. Their work is sup-
ported by the sale of Christmas Seals
and Health Bonds. It would be faise
economy to retreat in any way in
this fight.”
