He is wise in counsel, and devotes all of his time during campaigns to the party. Ho Is always a safe, wise and conservative leader. He Is genial, and •> very likable gentleman.

CHRISTMAS SEALS >r h ' Sale from Red Cross Seals Expected to Reach $50,00U. i / • I IN THIS STATE This Year—Are Powerful Factor Against White Plague Warfare. * The mighty power of tho mode a little Fled Cross Christmas Seal in the ’ Indiana warfare against tho white plague is going to prove Itself this year as never Irttforo After many years of <*dueatlonal work among the public by health authorities and organi:. utions and by tho human for cos which have been pushing the sale of the Red Cross Seals, the people of Indiana now fully realize that tuberculosis Is a deadly foe and that It can Ih» succ<*ssfully combated. It hns further been realized that societies for the study of the disease and for the founding of hospitals and fresh air camps where patients cun lw treated are making inroads on the ravage of the plague, tho ofll* ial figures of the Indiana State Board of Health showing an annual reduction in the number of fatalities from the disease. The lied Cross Seal has been a > forceful factor in not only awakening! the interest of the people on the sub | Je<t of tuberculosis, but through the sale of the seals at Christmas time for the last five years a gtasily fund has been raised and wisely expended in fighting tho plague. The flr.d seals came into Indiana In 1908. and in tho cities where they were first available, the public eagerly took them up as a holiday novelty. Seals to tho amount of $4 s(to wen- sold that year. In 19t)9 the Indiana sales reached fti.Oml and in 1910 went to about $,7,800. The public daptand largely increased in 1911 when $12,441 was realized from- the* seals and last year the amount Increaned to $12,838. With the public the seal is more than a novelty, and it is now as essential to a Christmas parcel, to letters and postcards as a U. 8. postage stamp, and It is expt'etod that tho sales in Indiana for tliht year will amount ta $40,000 or $50,000.
