To sell three times as many I seals as lost year, is the plan of the board, in order .to meet the great de mand for funds to carry on the groat tight, against tuberculosis, which will be made this winter by the National Red Cross and National Tuberculosis associations. It. is estimated from the experience of France and other warring nations that war more than trebles the amount of tuberculosis unless ade quate provision have been made against it. It Is this precaution nnd measures of prevention that these agencies ore endeavoring to take. Three million dollars Is the amount expected from the sale of seals this year. This requires that every agency work to maki) results three times ns large as those lust year. North Car olina will be expected to raise near $ 10,000 as her proportionate part. Last year the value of the seals was $12,0(13. The year before it wbh $S. 033. In the Rod Cross Peal campaign this vear the mall sale plan will bo largely adopted.

Ar rangements can be made to scud let ters In bulk to local representatives of various postotfloes to be mailed. The plan may require more agents work ing In the tight against tuberculosis but so much sreter will bo tho re- i THE SANDMAN STORY rr Tonight How Mr. Rat Was Caught. (Part I.) Mr. Rat was not 'caught ''n a trap Oh; no indeed. He was caught In at very different way, for Mr. Rat was sly and clover and no trap ever at tracted him, no inciter what, the bait was . But Mr. Hat was a thief. I hate to use that word about Mr. Cat. but there is no other that can bo used about this bad habit of Mr. Hat's. Old Mudam Quack and l.er hus band, Dr. Uuack. lived all alone in a little house by the duck pond, and everybody knew that is, the ducks' and other fowl that lived around the barnyard and pond' that Madam Quack was the very best housekeeper for miles around. Her floors were scrubbed as white as soap and water could make them, and her stove was as shiny as it could be rubbed. Her bods were the softest and It was whispered nbout that she even wont so far as to moke her feather beds of the feathers of her dear de parted relutlves: but no one could swear to the truth of that and no one dared let Madam Quack hoar them even hint nt it, so no one reallv knew. But aside from all that Madam Quack was the very best cook for miles about as well, her flaky pie crust was the talk of her friends and her cake was so light that it had to be kept in a box with a cover, so that It would not fly away, so some said. Madam Quack, Kept on hand always a plentiful supply of .lames and jelly and cheese cakes, so that if anyone in the stove because I heard Dr. : could go away and say Madam Quack did not have anything in the way of refreshments to offer them. In the attic Madam Quack had strings upon strintrs of dried apples and dried sweet corn and peas and beans; in fact, there was no one, as I told vmi, for miles around that kept the house that Madam Quack did, both in neatness and the way of food. One morning Madam Quack and Dr. Quad: started for town. A new bonnet and shawl Madam Quack was bent upon buying, and she persuaded the doctor to go along to tell her, if it was becoming. t Not that she cared in the least what the doctor thought. She would get the bonnet and shawl she liked best, but she wanted the d ctor to go along to pav for it and it was better to put it in that way than to ask Dr. Quack rich: out for the money. You sec. Madam Quack was wise, ns well as being a good housekeeper. ' Did vou put down the pantry win dow and fasten if" n-ked Madam Quack, as she locked the door and put the key in her pocket. "Yes." said Dr. Quack, "and I locked the collar, door and closed the damper of the stove, too." "1 am glad you did." said his wife, "vou never can toll whore that thief,; Mr. Rat, Is those days; ho can squeeze in through a crack. Mr. Kat from his hiding place under tho tteps laughed as he heard this. You are right. Madam Quack," he said to himself; "but the trouble Is with youi house you keep it so well In repair I can never tind a crack through which I can squeeze." Mr. Rat peeked out and saw Madam Quack and her husband waddle out of sight nnd then he, came out of his hiding place and walked around the house. "They locked the doors and closed and fastened, the pantry window," he said, "so there is no need of wasting my time or strength there. There is Hip chimney, but I know there Is a Are There stood little Johnnie Frog Quack toll his wife he closed the dam per. Now, how In the world shall I get In that house?" Mr, Rat ran up the side of the house and went on the roof. He looked down the chimney and saw a little ray of light. "Oh, oh! There is a fire place in the nttie," he said. "I can run down t.,j chimney and crawl Into the attic, and the rest is easy." So saying. Mr. Rat ran down the side of the chimney nnd Into the attic, and If he had kept on and not stopped there this wouldn't have been much of a story; but ho did stop, for Just as he was running "across the attle to the stairs ho saw something that ht liked very much and he went back. , iClI'lfc.Ml' ',4.
