i CHRISTMAS SPECIAL THE S8EMIDJ]1 DAILY PIONEER RED CROSS OFFICIAL Dr. Livingston Farrand, Chair- man of the Central Committee, American Red Cross, Expresses Hope That Public Will Give Generous Support. — SALE IS NOW UNDER WAY, — More Than 650,000,000 Seals Must Be Disposed of to Insure the Success of the Natlon-Wide Educational and Preventive Campaign of the Nation- al Tuberculosis Assoclation In 1920. Dr, Livingston Farrand, exec utive head of the American Red Cross, has given his un- qualified endorsement of the 1919 Red Cross Christmas Seal sale, which is now under way and which will extend for ten days under the ausplices of the National Tuberculosls Assoclation and its 1,000 allied organ- Izations. A fund of more than $6,500,- 000, which will be used In the 1920 ed- ucational and preventive campalgn, will be ralsed through the sale of the seals. Acquainted as he Is with all ques- tions of general health community {m- provement and relief because of the nature of his work and office, Dr. Far- rand's endorsement 18 based upon an expert knowledge of what the Na- tional Tuberculosis Association has ac- complished and will accomplish in the future. His letter to Dr. Charles J. Hatfield, Managing Director of the Na- tional Tuberculosis Association, fol- lows: “I have been greatly Interested In the plans that the National Tuberculo- sis Association is making for the sale of Christmas Seals during the coming holiday season. The success of that effort is indispensable to the carrying out of the farreaching plans of the Assoclation In Its fight agalnst tuber culosis In this country. “The American people, In common with the nations of Europe, are be- coming aroused to the critical impor- tance of the problem of vitality and conservation of health as the neces- sary factor in re-establishing the world after the devastation and de- struction caused by the war. Of all the preventable diseases, tuberculosis takes perhaps the first place in Impor- tance. TFor that reason I view with keenest sympathy and approval the splendid work which the National Tu- berculosis Association is conducting, and I trust that the response of the American people in the Christmas Seal Campaign will be generous and univer- sal. Sincerely yours, (Signed) LIVINGSTON FARRAND, “Chairman, Central Committee, Amer- fcan Red Cross.” HEALTH BONDS POPULAR. The demand for the Health Bonds which the National Tu- berceulosis Association issued this year for the first time are meeting with a ready sale. The bonds are In graduated denominations, the smallest being for $5. In the past some of the large business houses and other large contributors found it diffi- cult to use up the number of Red Cross Seals their subscriptions called for. The bonds have been issued for the convenience of large subscribers and the proceeds of their sale will be used for the same purpose as the Christmas Seal funds—the financing of the 1920 effort to reduce the num- ber of deaths from tubcreulosis in the United States. Last year the disease claimed 150,000 lives. The health donds can be obtained from state und Yocal tuberculosis associatlons, year. Curable. ning December 1. losis Association. Bonds.

The issue of such envelopes In order to save the trouble of affixing gummed seals to letters sent out In quantity by large corporations and business houses has been inaugurated this year as part of the machinery of distribution set in motion by the National Tuberculosis Assoclation and its 1,000 State and lo- cal organizations in disposing of more than 630,000,000 Rrd Cross Christmas Seals during the ten day sale which began on December 1 The significance of the slogan lles In the fact that whether the letter Is mailed in Los Angeles or Boston, in Chicago or In Galveston it still holds true. “This community” literally means the place where the seal s bought and used. To be exact, 91.7 per cent of the funds ralsed s devoted to local anti-tuberculosis activities In the state. Of the remaining 88 per cent a portlon goes to the Red Cross. WILSON ENDORSES STAMP SBALE. President Wishes “The Very Best Suc- cess” for the 1919 Red Cross Xmas Seal Campaign. President Wilson, In a letter to Dr. Charles J. Hat- field, Managing Director of the National Tuberculosis Association, expresses keen interest In the work of the association and wishes success to the 1919 Red Cross Christ- mas Seal sale. More than 650,000,000 seals must be sold during the ten day drive which began on December 1, to assure a onc hundred per cent. applic cation of the Association’s 1920 educa- tional and preventive campaign, The President’s letter follows: “Allow me to express again my deep interest in the work of the National Tuberculosis Association. 1 am very much interested to learn of the efforts of the Assoclation to raise the sum of six and one-half million dollars that the state budgets may be financed for the coming year, and write to wish the very best success of the effort.” CHILDREN. David Starr Jordan says: “There is nothing in all the world so hmportant as . little children; nothing so interesting. If you wish to go In for philanthropy, if ever you wish to be of any use in the world, do something for little children, If ever you yearn to be truly wise, study children. We can dress the sore, handage the wound, imprison the criminal, heal the sick and bury the dead, but there is always a chance that we ecan save the child. If the great army of phi- lanthropists ever exterminate sin and pestilence, ever work out the race’s salvation, it will be because a little child has led them.” RED CROSS CHRISTMAS SEALS SAVE THE LIVES OF AMERICAN CHILDREN — Buy them to-day. ™ Tuberculosis Kills 150,000 AMERICANS ever.y And yet, Tuberculosis The National Tuberculosis Association is con- ducting a sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals, begin- The proceeds of this sale will bé used to combat Humanity’s most deadly enemy—The White Plague —in every community in the United States.
