Millions tjl be Sent Out In December ' At Postofflees. Vv New York, Nov. It. Judging - from reports at hand . today, the' National Association' for the Study and Preven tion -of Tuberculosis estimates that by December' 1st, , not less than 75, 000,000 Red Cross ' Seals will ; have been distributed to selling agents in forty different States of the country. Forty million seals have already been printed, and another large edi tion is being prepared. Agents' or ders to ' dateaggregalo all of that amount" and'- a considerable 'number have not, yet stated how many seals they, can use. Taking into considera tion -this latter class and the agents who will be appointed before Decem ber 1st, the prospects for selling 100, 000.000 stamps, which is the goal that has been set by the national workers, are extremely bright. v . ' . Over 30 State societies have organ ized the sale, on an extensive basis, and in about ten more States, Red Cross Seals will be sold in some plac es. All, told, including State ritv. county, 'ajad sub-agents, an army . of fully 50,000 men, women and children will be engaged in selling the bright Christmas Seals for the prevention of -.'.tuberculosis. Permission to sell seals m the corridors of all postofflees has been granted by Secretary Hitch cock. .They will, also be on sale in department stores, hotels, railway stations, drugstores, and in thousands of other, places. Every conceivable device for adver tising the seals is being prepared. In some places valuable prizes will be given. Millions of slips, dodgers, pos ters, and other kinds of literature will be distributed calling upon the public to buy Red Cross Seals. Among the agencies that are co-operating with the Red Cross and the tuberculosis societies are women's clubs, lodges, labor unions, business men's associations, stores, banks, newspapers and thousands of school boys and .girls. . . . Every seal is a bullet Jn the . fight against tuberculosis in the communi ty wherer It is sold, and a million dol lars from the sale or the stamping out of this plague is the object of the Christmas campaign. AN AGED; PEDESTRIAN. at Walks Across Continent, Arrives Houston Search; Being Made. Houston, Texas, Nov. 12. Ending his tramp of 10,000 miles in this city, Frank Schrum, 98 years old, asked authorities , to send him to the home for the aged at Austin where he ex pects to spend the rest of his life un less this story of , his wanderings should reach one , 6f . the two daugh ters , for whom he has searched so many years ancsbe come . to his aid. 'Schrum is a. veteran of , the Mexican and Civil wars and waft ; a resident with his wife and daughters in Gal veston when , the storm of 1900 wreck ed his. home, scattered the little fam. ily and left him penniless. Learning of his wife's 'death and believing his daughters had shared her fate, he went to New Orleans and was- there seized with fever. While in the hos pital he received a letter stating that one of his, daughters had been mar ried and was located in California. As soon as he could leave the hospi tal he started on the walk just termi nated here. He tramped through . the desert to California, reached the city where his daughter was thought to be living' but was unable, to find her. Thinking he could locate her' through the aid of the census . bureau he took up the long journey to the East and walked from San Francisco. to Wasn ington, only to be disappointed. From the National , capital he started for Texas,, j always searching for his daughter but , when he reached Hous ton without having met success, the old veteran's 'spirit weakened and with the laconic remark, "I am get ting tired" he entered the United Charitiejs room and asked to be sent to Austin. He was provided with a ticket and boarded a Southern Pacffic train for his first ride in years, though he had covered in his travels more than '10,000 miles. PHYSICIAN APPROVES p I, I I U'I'I I l M I I THE CAUSE "OF MALARIA. No Mosquitoes',- No Infection isDem ::: onstrated by Statistics. .(Bulletin Stae Board of Health.) Ten days ago we' published an arti cle giving experimental . proof, to show that malaria is a mosquito borne" disease. In this article we de sire to submit, a few specific samples of the effect of mosquito destrucllon on the. prevalence of malaria, which confirm... the . conclusions .... deducible from experiments given1 in bur former article, namely, that malaria is car ried by mosquitoes, and to 'get rid of mosquitoes Is to eradicate this di sease. '.. . y ' Ismailiya, with a population of 8, 000, is situated close, to the v Suez Ca nal in a tropical, malarious country. Malaria became so prevalent there that the existence of the tow was al most r . threatened. An anti-mosquito campaign was begun in 1901. The re sult is shown by the following: In 1900, 2,250 cases; 1901, 1,990 cases; 1902, 1,548 cases; 1903, 214 cases; 1904 90 cases; 1905, 37 cases; 1906 four cases. - Nearly all the cases in 1904, '05, '06 were either cases that had been treat ed and were considered cured that re lapsed, or cases developing in the surrounding country and brought in 4-1 . t M I A, J ' iuai.13, liuyuncu cases. !.- Klang and Port Swettingham of the Federated Malay States were mala rial hotbeds when an anti-mosquito war was declared in 1901. The fol lowing shows the results: In 1901 510 cases; 1902, 199 cases; 1903, 69 cases; 1904, 32 cases; 1905, 23 cases. The cases in 1904 and l905 were re lapses, and imported. On the plain of Marathon, in Greece, malaria caused 90 per cent, of all the sickness in 19oo. That year the Grecian League Against Malaria entered the field, with the result that in 1907 only 47 per cent, of all sick ness was malaria, and in 1908 only 2 per cent of all sickness was malaria. Havana, uba, was losing 350 lives a year from malaria when mosquitoes were attacked in a vigorous cam paign, with-an 88. per cent, reduction in four years, of their malarial death rate Most of the remaining cases were relapses,, and imported. The United states government, through the efficient management of Colonel Gorgas, in the Canal Zone, has reduced malaria since 1906 over 70 per cent. In the city of Colon the disease has almost entirely disap Malaria has taken heavy toll of Ita ly. In 1887, 21,000 Italians died from this disease; in 1900 the Italian Socie ty for the Study of Malaria, began an anti-malarial educational . campaign, and distributed' free quinine. In eight years the number of deaths in Italy from malaria has been reduced to 4, 000, a saving of 12,000 lives. We have not exhausted, by any means, the examples of the--effect of mosquito extermination on the preva lence of malaria, but in view of the fact that not a single example of mos quito' extermination without malaria reduction can be cited, 'we -consider it unnecessary to occupy --the reader's time further with superabundance of evidence. THE FARMERS' UNION. Texas Locas Moving for an Indepen dent Organization. Houston, Texas, Nov. 12. There is war in the ranks of the Farmers' Un ion despite the assertions of the Na tional officers that the trouble of a few "months ago in this State which grew so serious as to cause the ces sation of a number of locals, had been smoothed over. The dissatisfied ones who object-to the assessments levied and the salaries paid the National president, have submitted to the sec retary of State the form of a char ter which they propose putting forth as the base of the new union to be known as the Farmers' Educational & Co-Operative Union of Texas. -This organization proposes to be entirely independent of the National body. The union in this county with head quarters in Houston,, has stood loyal ly by the National union and there. is now so serious a break in the farm ers organization that it has lost the great political power it wielded in Texas a few years ago. This serious split in Texas is attracting the atten tion of the farmers of all sections ot the country for the reason that the Farmers' Union was .born in this State-- and . Newton -' Gresham, the founder, is buried here. x WELDON ITEMS. Taking Lydia E.Pinkham's Vegetable Compound , Sabattas, Maine. Ybu told me to take Lydia E.
