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

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

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.

plls' lunch baskets, sold for $590 at an
auction sale. Twenty-two schools In
another county raised 22 purebred
hogs last winter on waste from the
pupils' dinner baskets. 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. At an auction sale 80 of the
surplus pigs were sold, and the re
turns from the sale, together with the
value of the remaining hogs, repre
sented $7,800.
Pig-club members had a prominent
part In the swine exhibits at the two
fairs held in the state and carried off
many prizes. Of the 2,105 hogs ex
hibited at the Southeastern fair, 315
were owned and raised by pig-club
boys who won 31 ribbons in the open
ring. Three of the prizes were Junior
champions. Of the 350 hogs exhibited
at the state fair, 87 were owned and
raised by pig-club boys who won 39
ribbons In the open ring and $272 In
prizes. One of the ribbons was a
Junior champion. With 28 club pigs
one county won 27 ribbons and prizes
amounting to $817.50, including the
state championship.
The state pig-club champion was the
11-year-old son of a small farmer who
bought his pig at an auction sale for
$37.50. At the end of the contest this
hog was worth $300. In one county
six pig-club boys,'who started In their
club work with one small pig each,
will start hog farms this year. Three
of these boys already have their hogs
and land. i

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.
