Five different motion pictures, dealing with Red Rross seals and the an-ti-tuberculosis campaign, have been prepared by Thomas A. Edison in cooperation with The National Association for the Study and Prevention jf Tuberculosis, and are being used all over the country during tho holiday season. The first one, “The Red Cross Seal,” prepared in 1910, deals with the struggle and self-sacrifice of a young girl artist, and who won a coveted Red-Cross seal design prize, and then gave it all away to send a consumptive son of a neighbor to a sanitorium. “The Awakening of John Bond” deals with the reformation of a young politician, Whose wife was stricken with tuberculosis through contact with a consumptive sailor, who lived in one of her husband's tumbledown tenements. “Hope,” a Red Cross Seal Story," shows that tuberculosis is a problem of the small towns as well as the city, and tells the story of a young girl to get well, being cheered on in her fight by the double red cross the emblem of hope. The 1913 picture was entitled “The Price of Human Lives,’ 'and showed the evils resulting from the use of fraudulent consumption cures. This year’s picture, “Tho Temple of Moloch,” deals with the problem of tuberculosis in children, and shows in a dramatic story how this disease is spread by bad working and living conditions. o WANTED, MEN—Our illustrated cala logue explains how we teach the barber thade in few weeks, mailed free.
