at Haillnga. England, these words

"1111» Is a belfry that Is tree
For all those that civil he.
And If you please to chime or rtng I

All through

was the golden
age of bells,

For examples
with the passing of the old year
tha bells wars tolled in sadness,
then. wnen midnight had struck,
tha merry peals clanged forth their
welcome to the new year. Before / £ =
the invention of the newspaper the
town crier focused the attention of
tha people by lustily clanging a bell
before he shouted the Important
news it was his duty to spread
throughout the city.
Since bells
have so often served to proclaim
Victory it is not surprising to find
that ths design of the modern cup
presented as a token of victory in
'aport is In reality an inverted bell.
I It Is equally fitting that on the
!gay little Christmas seal for 1929 a
U ringer should be portrayed tug-
ig at a heavy bell, announcing
co again to the nation that fur
jther victorious advances have been
made against the enemy tubercu
losis. Each year the seal brings
Ilts message of health at the Christ
mas season to remind people thst

seeking for a method to raise

¡magazine article deacrlbing the
[Danish seal and its successful mls-

rof $1,000 was raised and the pro
je c t begun. The following year tbs

tuberculosis Christmas seals.
Thanks to the tiny seal, stats
after state has been organized to !
attack tuberculosis with a scien
tific program. Together, led by the
national body, they have brought j
Into existence much of the present-
day community machinery that
combats tuberculosis. Through the
intensive educational work made
possible by the Christmas seal,
¡health laws have been passed and
Iare being enforced; tuberculosis
¡specialists and nnrses reach the
jmost remote country districts;
(printed matter on disease preven
tion la circulated in schools, homes
and factories, and there Is an ac
tive public interest in tuberculosis
control among civic, political, com
mercial, social and religions groups.
This year again the seal carries
its message of health throughout
the country, giving everyone a
chance to be a bell ringer as In
olden days—a proclaimer of the
important tidings that health Is the
beat Insurance for happiness and
that tuberculosis may be cured If
discovered in time. And as mil
lions of letters and packages deco
rated with Christmas seals travel
from one end of the country to the
other during December they will
spread the message, "Ring in a
of health with Christmas
teals.”
