The seals have been on sale since Thanksgiving Day and according to reports from the Minnesota Public Health association, have met with gratifying success, but the health workers depend on ‘these last few days to bring up the aggregate amount upon which must depend the raising of the health standard in Minnesota during the coming year. ' i For the past six weeks ‘“‘only so many days to Christmas” was our slogan. Of more importance than any Christmas shopping is this pur- chase of Red Cross Seals. There are few men, women or children who can- not buy a few seals before the sale closes New Year’s Day. The state health association ex- pects that at least $25,000 will be raised from the seals, but this could easily be doubled if all our citizens would realize their responsibility this week and make one more effort to furnish ammunition for this war against disease. ‘We want to make our local per capita seal sale away ahead of what it was a year ago, and the way to in- sure our doing so, is to buy every seal that has been allotted to our local campaign manager, Mrs. C. M. Jacobson. We have only until New Year’s Day to show how public spir- ited we are. Seals look just as well on New Year’s greetings and New Year’s mail and packages as they do on Christmas gifts. Surely no holi- day wish could be more appropriate than a wish for health, embodied in the Red Cross Christmas Seal. Christmas reminds us of the glor- ious proclamation of nearly 1916 years ago, ‘“‘Peace on Earth, Good ‘Will Towards Men.” Accursed be the tribe whose chief glory is in the im- plements of death and destruction. The peace conference at El Paso, Tex., should have offered Gen. Villa a chance to go on the chautauqua platform in this country. Then he might have quit the war. The bold robber in New York who used an electric automobile to aid fective the Allies threaten to send her to the minor Perhaps those Russian and German armies are just playing tag.
