WHY YOU BUY XMAS SEALS! — A total of $3,842,500 was given in 1 1922 by citizens of the I’nited Stales ' in exchange for Tuberculosis Christ- ' mas Seals. This year more than a ' billion Seals are on the market, in the sixteen years in which the annual 1 Tuberculosis Christmas Seal Sale has ( been carried on throughout the country. more than $25,000,000 has been raised by this unique method, and all i of it has been expended in the nationwide educational campaign that has i resulted in lowering the death rate ( from tuberculosis and proving to him- ! dreds of American communities that' this dreadful "White Plague” is both i preventable and curable. i This year the Tuberculosis Christ- ( mas Seals now on sale in this comi munity, will be sold until the New Year. People in all sections of the country have had a share in helping j to spread information and teaching t the public how to prevent and combat ( the disease. ( A recent summary of the actual' re- : suits aeconiplished in tho I’nited - States from the money resulting from i Seal purchases shows that the im- ’ portant media used for stamping out ; the diseqsje have been approximately ' as follows: About 650 institutions now make ’ provision for caring for tubercular patients. Sixteen years ago there were ’ but 100 such institutions. At the ' present time there are approximately < 66,000 beds available in the I’nited ‘ States for the care of the tuberculous. ’ More than 555 clinics and dlsimn- 1 Buries have be/n established where \ i persons may go for periodical, physical examinations and there discover the disease in time for treatment. At * least 12,000 public health nurses; many of them having special training for j tuberculosis work, now seek out the disease in the schools ami home and give instructions and help in the ways of health. I* Research worker have collecti d data on the disease of untold value . in the tight, against tic "Whitt Plague.” Statisticians have been kept con- I tinu.iHy at w/rk compiling necessary information. An edut.alior.al campaign, nation- E wide, has lesn/f'il in th-- distribfi'tion ' of more than 1,000,000 pieces’ of printed mailer, pointing out the road to health for all ages, types and classes of both native and foreign born. The modern Health Crusade has bi en possibly. Through it more than 8,000,000 «i heol childrc n throughout this country and abroad have 1' arnad daily health habits. At leust 3,0'10 open sir schools, lire, ventaria, outdoor camps for children, and other establishments have been set up, wherein persons predisposed ’ to tuberculosis may be brought back to normal life. The Seal mopey has financed lecturers, speakers, demonstrations and exhibits, motion pictures, health plays' and pageants, posters ajid health stories. The Seal Sale itself has been one of the great factors in the spreading of the scientific knowledge ftifough which resistance in the health of the'

no body politic has been built up through* r out the United States. The 1923 Christmas Stall in this community is a part of this national. t state and local movement for better I health.’ > ' i Mr. O. L. Vance has been named as 1 chairman of a committee which he I will select and which'will work out a i program and plans for establishing a tourist camp In or near this city. Mr. | Vance has visited many camps in various parts of the country and knows the needs of such a plate. When the committee is ready they will report back to the Industrial club and it is hoped*that the tamp can be made ready by early summer. It is a splendid step ahead for it means visitors each evening during the touring season. Mr. Stone, secretary of the Hardin ; Highway Association d<\ tailed plans- of a first class camp last night ami his talk was very interesting and helpful. It is a safe prediction that Decatur will have a real tourists tamp next year. The progressives will amend the rules of the house as a compromise on the selection of a stand palter for speaker, according to an agreement reached last evening late. That's very probably just what the few progressives wished and they have a right to stick their chests out and become a little gay with the wise old birds who conduit the polities of the house. It is quite probable they will use the power they have frequently during the session just starting and that deadlocks will be frequent the next few months. ' Among other things emphasized in his address last evening, A. I). Stone urged that evqry business man of the city should appoint himself en the reception committee and see that when a car bearing a foreign license plate stops upon our streets an offer to inlormation end ; j i made. The touring business of the future IB a thing to plan for and the cities which go ut it with enthusiasm and ?ood common sense will profit as a result. ® o ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦*♦♦♦♦♦ + TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ ♦ ♦ F From the Daily Democrat fllea + J* 20 years ago thia day ♦ + + + + + + + + ♦♦♦♦♦♦ Dee. 5.— Fire insurance conipunies Issue. warning that policies do not cover automobiles.

Field Goals by “Eagle Eye” Pete The •’Millers” were bud in the hifh school gym last night and bothered the Leaders considerably in their game with thb Huntington Buddies. •'Candy” Miller doesn't seem to have lost any of his prowess as a back guard since his days with Roehested high school and Purdue Univers. Ity. He's a stonewall on defense. "Biz" Miller undoubtedly is one of the best basket shots in this part of the state. He shoots with remarkable accuracy while traveling rapidly, while being guarded closely and when shooting from difficult angles and positions. When i s comes to all-around playing basket shooting floor work and speed. 'Tabby" Andrews is hard to beat. • — I Bill Bryan appeared to be a little off form Jest night. H wasn't at his station several times when Crist needed help. Out of Bounds still thinks he "scooped" us on he announcement of the game scheduled between the Decatur Leaders and Fort Wayne Caseys.

What's the Verdict? THE test of a mealtime drink is not alone how it tastes, but also what it does. Many a coffee-user finds wakefulness and restlessness after drinking coll™ with the evening meal-and other health” disturbances follow on. There’s double pleasure and benefit in Postum; delightful taste, complete satis faction, and agreeable friendship with nerves and health. There’s charm without harm in Postum. Let a ten-days’ trial of Postum instead of coffee show you the marked improvement in health and comfort which so many others have found. Sold by grocers everywhere!
