WGRKERS WEEDED TO FIGHTWHITE PLAGUE National Tuberculosis Association, Which Sponsors Red Cross Seal Sale, is Conducting Intensive Educational Campaign. A call for volunteers to tight under the standard of the National Tubercu losis Association and Its 1000 affiliated bodies throughout the country against tuberculosis humanity's most vlcibus 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 he 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 by 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 band valuable local data regarding the disease and actual conditions in the communities where they are located. The officers of these bodies eagerly welcome Inquiries. National Tuberculosis Association, Which1 Sponsors Sale, Will Place 650,000,000 Seals on Sale to Finance the Fight Against ' Tuberculosis. 'AMEWCANRED CK3 The Bed Cross Seal as millions of Americans know It to day, is an agent of happiness and health. It was orig inated In 1907 by Jliss Emily P. Bissell, of Wilmington, Delaware, who learned through Jacob Kiis of somewhat simi lar seals that were sold in Norway for 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 number of communities in 1908. The sale yielded a revenue of approximately $3,000. The Red Cross then decided to issue the seals each year and to turn the proceeds over to the National Tuberculosis association tnd Its affiliated societies for the pur pose of financing the campaign against tuberculosis. The number of seals old In America Increased by leaps and bounds until In 1917 the total reached 180,000,000. This year the seals are again on sale beginning December 1, More than half a billion seals have been printed for distribution to state and local agents. In additioL to the aeals "Health Bonds" in denomina tions ranging from $5.00 to $100.00 are to be sold in lieu of seals to large contributors, who do not send out a sufficient quantity of mail In December to make use of ail the seals they would like to purchase. The combined quotas of all the state or ganizations call for more than $0,500, 000 to carry out the Intensive educa tional campaign being conducted by the National Tuberculosis Association and Its 1,000 affiliated societies. The Intensive sale of these seals represents a practical demonstration of every lesson that has been learned regarding scientific distribution. Kx- Is of the highest standing In sales ictnent have co-operated to (he extrnt of assuring those interested that every resident of the United States will have an opportunity to buy lteil Cross Christmas Kiiils pe mini; DOUBLE BARRED GROSS ADOPTED 17 YEARS AGO The. double barred Red Cross Is seventeen years old this month. In October, 1302, the International Anti Tuberculosis Association, then meeting In Berlin, 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 symlvol of the hope of civilization. Four years later, in 11)00 the double barred Red Cross was car ried into this country. ,It was in 190(1. the National Tuberculosis Association was formed, 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 thousatid.

One town of 2,000 people produced 35,000 pounds of pork from pigs raised In back yards. The white boys of the same county raised $12,310 of meat hogs, and the negro boys $2,134.85. An all-cotton county reports an in crease of 5,000 hogs in 1918. Fifty seven pig club members In one county raised 250 head of registered ruroc Jerseys. The amount Invested was $2,300.

PEDIGREE IS NOT ESSENTIAL Officials of Department of Agriculture Are Trying to Eliminate Inferior Animals. (Prepared by the United States Depart- , ment of Agriculture.) Thousands of purebred scrubs are scattered through this country, accord ing to hog-extension men of the United States Department of Agriculture, who are devoting their efforts to elimi nating inferior pedigreed animals. This, they say, applies to all kinds of live stock, but Is perhaps more general In the hog industry. Pedigrees are necessary and valuable to the hog breeder, yet the pedigree is the means of fooling a lot of fnrmers, particular ly those who are about to start Into the pure-bred hog business and who have not had enough experience in Judging to select animals ' of good standard type. Buyers should not be contented simply with pure-bred ani mals, but should see in addition that the animals they are about to pur chase have good quality, say tho de partment hog specialists.
