This year over 100,- ago, 000,000 seals have been printed and distributed. If placed end-to-end Id b these seals would extend nearly 2,400 miles, or practically from New York hav to Salt Lake City. They have been sent to over 25,000 different agents and will be sold and handled by an army of not less than 100,000 volun teers, including men, women and chil- out dren. Millions of advertising circu- fno lars have been scattered throughout for the country, and _so thoroughly has the advertising campaign been or- was ganized that it ib doubtful if many people in the more populous states be 1 of the: cbuntit ill` not have heard of be the Red Cross seal and its mission in the prevention of tuberculosis. It isand hoped that at least 60,000,000 seals tio may be sold this year.

MINDS IN COMPLETE ACCORD SEEN For Once, at Least, Mr. and Mrs. I Algert Smith Found Themselves in ' Absolute Harmony. "We are united in this movement," Algi said Thomas M.

Household and Mental Order. `Y Froebel, "father of child-study," said thine - that "inward clearness proceeds from my I outward order," and there is truth "E enough in the observation to give food notli t for thought to the careless, untidy mother and father. Froebel's saying was connected, no doubt, with his in- "I sistence that the child's play and work bros materials in the kindergarten should "I be taken out in perfect order and so returned at the close of the eaercises, and Dr. Montessori, the Italiafn educa tionist, whose method is working a change in the teaching of children, re d quires the same thing in her "Hquses e of Childhood." There must indeed' be ea potent influence in an orderly, punc tual, wisely-administered' household, and there is no question that children brought up in such an atmosphere do show clearness in their mental pro cesses. Fortunately this is an influ ence which it independent of riches or poverty and so can be exer'ted by any mother. I 14 Not for Ten Cents.

Algernon was a "free-lance" Jour nalist, and at the moment could have donevwith considerably less freedom -and more money. In fact, he was be ginning to realize that a regular sal ary had its advantages. So was Algernon's wife. A somewhat gloomy silence was broken by the letter carrier's knock. and restraining any undignified haste. Algernon went to the box. It contained a foolscap envelope, which is not the kind that editors drop checks into. "Shades of the poets!" quoth Alger non. "This is really more than I can bear!" "What is it, dear?" piped his wife. "What is it? Why, I sent this editor two stories and the heartless fellow has returned three!"
