CROSS - : The double barred Red Cross, the emblem of the anti- " tuberculosis fighting forces bears a significance of its own. .It symbolizes the fight against the insidious foe of heslth the greatest cause of widowhood and' orphanage. . This double barred red cross is the visible evidence: of protection again mankind’s greatest enemy. It is set in the heart of the M. P. H. A. insignia and sou- venirs. It is on every letterhead of the M.’P. H. A. and also of all state and national anti-tuberculosis and public health associations and the county public health associations. It adds as well, a deeper significance to every banner and pennant of the Modern Health: Crusaders. ; *+ For more than seventeen years this emblem has been used as a symbol of the fight against the white plague. It was first adopted for this purpose by the International Anti-Tuberculosis association in Berlin, in October, 1902. In 1906, the National . Tuberculosis association adopted it, and it has been accepted by every one-of the state as the symbol of its anti-tuberculosis activitie. In the past year, eighty-three of Minnesota’s counties have organized under the M. P. H. A. to carry on public health and anti-tuberculosis work in the counties, and likewise haye accepted the shield and standard of the double barred red cross. The spirit of the drive against tuberculosis has taken strong hold, and is surging forward in a manner characteristic of our| state in all that it undertakes. We expect during the week of the Red Cross Christmas seal sale to see as much enthusiasm as was shown in the never- to-be-forgotten drives of the war times. 'And why not? The double barred red cross deserves all trust and confidence. - We make no defense of the kaiser, but tuberculosis kills thousands of Americans where the German soldiers killed hundreds. It is against the tuberculosis evil that the Minnesota Public Health association and the county public health associations are concentrating their efforts. Their work is financed by the sale of Red Cross Christmas seals.. . Do all that you can to make et the doybl against™ savages of disease. PRIl R S THE TOWN BAND. . Regardless of the undoubted progress of civic administra- tion the country over, in quite the majority of smaller towns and communities there is one requisite seriously neglected. " That is the town band. Whether you prefer to call it the Philharmonic, the Sym- - phony, the Municipal, or just the Town Band, it is the same. - We shall fer to it as the town band. ¥ Every community should have not just a band, biit a good ' band—a band that is the pride of the people and the pinnacle of every small boy’s ambition. ] A good band in the town is good, but the essential feature is that it be the town’s band, and not a private band that de- mands high wages and plays only for the more fortunate who can afford to pay high prices-to hear it. It should be a band that plays for all of the people—the bi;‘rl:kers, the merchants, the laborers, the women and children alike. {\nd especially the children. 1t is trite to say that music is beneficial to children. Every one knows that. But perhaps all have not-thought how much a really good band, under a competent leader, playing the very best of the world’s music, can stimulate the child’s ambition to know and to play good music. And dance music can be of just as high quality as church " ‘music—if one be properly educated in what is music and what is mere trash. 5 s Since the band is for everyone, let everyone pay for the band. It is just as important as sanitation. Pay for it the same way—municipally, by taxation. That’s just what Bemidji is going to do next year. " Penny ante is out of the running.

B “and she'is the siren you dread?” “I don’t know ‘it-for.a fact,” replied the uncle, but I want to know and intend to. That is why I am going to ask you to sort of look Hal up at Cresson, and particularly to go to Roxbury and find out what kind of a girl this new flame of his is.” “I don’t like the task,” saild Hector quickly. “Playing the spy is m;'t in my line.” ' “No, but you think enough of Hal to join me in striving to protect.him, don’t you?" and Hector bowed silently and two days later reached.

The latter was quite promi- nent in the public eye. Roxbury had Its bad quarter in which a full cown- pliment of the dissolute and crhp_lnnl lived. He had been stern and exact- tng In striving to wipe out this black spot in the community by severe court sentences, snd this had brought to him the enmity and hatred of the vi- clous element. He was possesséd of considerable wealth and his daughter was a popular soclal favorite. From a distance his first Saturday evening in Roxbury Hector saw the pair together.~ Never in his life had he gazed' upon a young lady who n face and bearing so attracted him. fThe next day the pair were joined by another young lady, a dark, flashing besuty, with whom Hal seemed to divide his attentions. Hector lefl.&ed that this was a Miss Marcia Lowell, from the city and a close girl friend ot ‘Miss Deveril. : .
