CHRISTMAS SEALS: — This is the season of the year for using the little seals sold by the organization which opposes all the year the dread disease tuberculosis and it is your duty to aid this cause. When we are well and all the folks are in tine health we give little attention to such a campaign but those who have felt the pain and sorrow caused by society's most dreaded disease. believe we should exert ourselves in helping those who fight it. Interesting therefore are facts taken from the statement just published by the Metropolitan Life Insurance company : ‘‘Each year 100,000 widows and 200,000 children under 16, are left in the United States to face new and obviously less favorable economic conditions because of the death of their breadwinners." says th? company. "The greatest damage ensues when the wage-earners die between the age of 35 and 45 years; for at this age they leave on the average 2.7 young children who, far from being able to contribute to the family budget, are rather a drain upon it, since they must be cared for out of whatever resources the widows can command. The wage earners dying between 25 and 35 years leave on the average 2.1 dependent children, while those under 25 leave on y 1.1 such dependents. These figures are based on conditions existing among wage earners insured in the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, but we believe them to be generally applicable to the entire population of the United States. “Os all the fathers, age 35 to 41, who died with dependent issue, more than 70 per cent left 2 or more children under 16. Nearly one-fifth of such fathers, as a matter of fact, left tour chiidren, and nearly one-fifth, five or mo.e children. Among the fathers dying between 25 and 35 approximately 60 per cent left two or more dependent children, while of de- ' ceased fathers below 25, about onethird left two or more dependent children. And then come the startling figures: "A relatively few causes of death are responsible for the major part of this family damage. In the age interval, 25 to 41 years, nearly six deaths out of every ten among white male wage earner;, were due to four causes, namely, tuberculosis, influ-enza-pneumonia. heart disease and accidents. These conditions cause, respectively. 22.7 per cent, 12.6 per cent, 11.5 per cent and 14.2 per cent of the total mortality. It is particularly significant that these causes are, for the most part, preventable. "With respect to tuberculosis, the situation is showing marked improvement each year with a drop in the I death rate of more than 60 per cent within two decades. Nevertheless, there is still much to be done in American cities to safeguard famines from the destructive influence of tuberculosis." President Hoover is anxious to get - Iraik to the United Sta.es and has de- . elded not to v.Hi Santo Domingo, Cuba and Mexico.

The "old man" is certainly squirming hard. King George of England la making a great come back according to reports from his bedside and the fact will add to the merry season of Christmas for he is a popular ruler, and the serious bulletins issued the past few weeks had alarmed his people.

Congress will appropriate nineteen million dollars to count noses. The e census will be taken again in 1933 and to pay the expenses of the little job of finding out just how many of us there are. what color we are and what brand of tobacco we chew, this vast sum will be utilized. We.l, if cold weather is necessary to make a meiry Christmas, looks as though we may all be satisfied. While its here we are also hoping it will freeze every flu germ into such an icicle it can't sting another person. The epidemic by the way now covers twenty states and has several million victims. Safe crackers got $350 from a safe in the South Bend city water plant, doing the work of "jimmying" the safe within a few feet of a police station but so far there has been no investigation started to find whether the boys were asleep or just drowsy.
