Today is the opening of the Red Cross Christmas Seal sale, to continue for ten days, and more keenly than ever does the American Legion of the state realize the vital necessity of an intensive fight aganist disease. The Minnesota organization has pledged active support to the annual Red Cross Christmas Seal sale, and the following letter to Dr. H. W. Hill, executive secretary of the Minnesota Public Health association, by Com- mander Harrison Fuller of the department of Minnesota, ex- presses the attitude of the Legionaires. It says in part: “The enthusiastic support of the 35,000 members of the ‘American Legion in Minnesofa of the Red Cross Christmas Seal campaign and the general, intensive state-wide public health movement is assured. : “One of the greatest lessons learned by those who served in the world war was that of public health and they will not forget it. Draft records disclosed the terrible inroads upon the health of the nation of tuberculosis, 24 of every 1,000 men called being victims of the ‘great white plague.’ “America is victorious. The world is saved. It must be kept safe and the comrades of ‘those who made the supreme sacrifice will see that it was not made in vain. They. are en- listed in the great peacetime fight for a nation: healthy and thereby happy and efficient. The political upbuilding of the state and the physical, moral and economic development of its people are the tasks of peace to which men and- women of the service have addressed themselves. . “I am confident that the whole-hearted support of the public will be yours, because they also recognize that this movement is a vital advance in the fight against disease, so essential to the welfare of the country we fought to save.” SUGAR HOARDED, SAYS FOOD ADMINISTRATOR. Arthur Williams, federal food administrator for the eastern district, said that there was no:reason in the world why retail dealers should not be supplied with sugar By wholesalers. There was also no reason, Mr. Williams said, why everyone should not have as much sugar as they had this time last year. “What I fear,” said Mr. Williams, “is that unscrupulous persons .are holding up their sugar, waiting for the end of the year, when the sugar board ceases to function. Then they hope to sell it at a profit very much higher than they can get now.” Mr. Williams added that, with Attorney Geneéral ‘Palmer in control of the food administration, the price of sugar would be held down as long as the Lever food and fuel-gontrol act was in force. T —0 Now let the government enact stringent lawg-compellin: both sides to submit their grievances to arbitrati:rlfi, sgd I1’mt ag end to this exasperating curtailment of production. 0 1 1e appeared.

All you have to | do to get such a sinecure, according to Ellen N. La Motte's “Peking Dust” (Century), is to have your government dbring a little pressure to bear on ! China. In a chapter.of her book writ- ten in Peking, Miss La Motte says: “There is a quaint custom here, which, ' 48 far as I know, is unique in the his- | tory of international relations. That is the custom of giving advice to ently.

Any person who,wishes. a lucra- tive position..can;get his government to appoint him as an ‘adviser’’ to China, and his government will see to it that China ‘pays him a salary.
