A History Oi The Tuberculosis Seal In 1907, Mr. Jacob A Riis. re ceived a letter from Copenhagen bearing' a peculiar seal in addition to its regular postage stamp. When he wrote to inquire abo.it it and learned that a Danish post al clerk, Einar Holboell, had hit upon the device of selling such stamps and seals to raise money for combating tuberculosis, he was so interested that he wrote an article in the Outlook describ ing the idea. Miss Emily P. Bis-i sell of Wilmington. Delawate. rt-adj the article and using a -eal d - signed by Howard Pyle, she rais ed $3000 f.o a ; ..'•erct.'o-: - - tack of eight beds in which -lie was interested. Enc. iraged by : is success, she persuaded the Amer ican Ked Cross lo apply the idea on a nation wide scale with the result that about $135,000 was raised by this organization 1908 and over $200,000 in K'p'.i. In 1910 Dr Farr.ind suggested tit if I the National Tuberculosis Asso-j (nation should cooperate in the seal sale, which was conducted a-1 a joint Red Cross Seal Sale un:.1, fill!', when nearly si,000,000 was| obtained. Since that date :i;e Christmas Seals have >een sold by the National Association alone under the emblem of its double barred cross and have continued to prove the most consistently fruitful method of fund raising ever devised for any social pur pose. Mr. Riis article in the Out look formed one link in the chain which made this result posiihle.

Mange Infections In Hogs On Rise Extension specialists at State College say that reports show mange is not only of common oc currence in hogs arriving at pub lic stockyards, but also that many cases are well advanced, indicat ing serious infection on farms where the hogs originated. Hog mange damages the dre— j ed carcasses and results in price losses. When the skin i> injured by mange mites, the grade, toge-' ther with the value of the carcass,J is lowered. In advanced ea- val uable cuts are damaged ami can be used only a> trimmings. I he specialists point out that there are two kinds of hog mange. The common type docs most of the damage. In this. - .. nines >urrow into the skin, first around the head and need* ami spread from | there, causing mflamatio-i and I swelling of the skin tissues. The ■ skin becomes thickened an 1 devel | op> wrinkles and folds. A -he in fection is contagious it spicads rapidly in a herd when hogs are closely confined. This mange responds rea I !v ' treatment on the farm. Dipping in a medicated hath is the most thorough method of killing .he mange mites. Treated animals should then he moved to clean quarters or the old enclosures should be thoroughly cleaned of all litter and disinfected. The other form ol" hog mange | is caused by different parasite. ' There is no known cure for it, but it spreads rapidly and its ef fect on animals is less severe than common mange. The best way to get rid of the infection is to dis pose of the affected animals and disenfeet the quarters. We, Too, Need Re-Education - By - KITH TAYLOR We have talked much of the im portance of re-educating the peo ple of Germany away from the ideas ami ideologies of Nazism which have been so well drilled in-! to them by their despotic over lourds. and most people agree that this is the only way that problem will ever be completely solved. But we too need re-education. Technical re-education alone is not meant - though we could do with a thorough overhauling job on that. \\ hat is needed most is a re-education of our way of thought. We need not merely e-j nough education so as not to have] to look up to anyone, but also e- i nough not to look down on any I one. W e need re-education in respon sibility. We must accept our full share of the work not merely of the world, but of our own gov ernment, national, state, or local. Me need more cooperators and fewer coasters on the work of others. (If you have ever tried to name working committees for even a small club, you know what I mean.) We need re-education in justice. We cannot expect to build a world of the Four Freedoms until we have ingrained in al lof our peo ple the idea! of absolute justice for all -those with whom we io not agree as well as to those with whom we see eye to eye. We need re-education in kind ness. We need to teach those who will follow after us, that prejudice is ignorance, that bias and group hatreds are ignoble, that the spii it of brotherhood is not just some thing we learn on Sunday and put away with our best gloves for another week. We have to relearn that the Golden Rule is still the most practical law of life. We need re-education in speech. We need to learn how not to talk as well as how t otalk. We need to make careless rumor monger ing, unkind generalization and carping criticism of our neigh bors’ motives or religious beliefs a social solecism equal to eating peas with a knife. We need re-education in citizen ship, Wre need to express in our lives, the idealism that is the A merican way of life. W'e need a re-dedication to the principles that made and preserved us a na tion. And we must remember that self government of a people col lectively depends upon self gov ernment of the people individually. Re-education is the only .vuy left open to the world for which we have secrifieed the best of our youth. It is the only way we can | be .-ure that this senseless sacri j fice may not he made in each gen eration to come. Re-education is the only solution to the problem of the world today.

Judge...I would have sworn it was just the other way ’round.” “No, Arthur, the grain used in distilling war-alcoholis not wasted. In an etlicient dis tillery up to 29% of it is reprocessed and is returned to farms like yours in the form of premium-quality livestock feed. “Remember, this nourishing remainder is plumb full of protein, vitamins and carbo hydrates and becomes a highly-prized feed concentrate. “By developing new products from this processed grain, the modern distilling in dustry has taken a leading part in solving the vital shortage of cattle and poultry feed ingredients which are rich in vitamins B-l and B-2, so essential to satisfactory growth and production. “And what I have told you about the absence of grain waste in making war alcohol, Arthur, also applies in the making of whiskey, although not a drop has been made in this country for over a year.” ( \clvertisement) Thu aJeertisemenl tporisorej by Conference of Alcoholic Beterait InJuilrtu, Iu IHFSE captured members of The Maste# Race are bitter and broken in spirit.
