HEIR TO ENGLAND'S THRONE
BUYS RED CROSS CHRISTMAS SEALS FROM CHILD
The first purchaser of the 1919 issue of Red Cross Christmas seals is the Prince of Wales. He bought the seals while in Washington from five-year-old Adrienne Mayer, "the littleest modern health crusader," recently decorated by General Pershing for attaining a perfect score in the children's health crusade against disease. The royal visitor was not too busy in his crowded schedule of entertainment and sightseeing to endorse the fight against tuberculosis which the Red Cross Christmas Seal represents. "Startling facts on public health were shown by the medical examination of millions of men during the war," the Prince said. "These facts have demonstrated clearly the necessity of attacking harder than ever such menaces as tuberculosis. I am sure this world-wide work has the approval of every thoughtful person. The seals really represent the ounce of prevention. I wish the campaign all success."
The Prince promised to use the seals on his personal letters. The Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis of the District of Columbia is one of the 1000 state and local organizations affiliated with the National Tuberculosis Association. In common with the allied bodies it has its own individual educational and preventive program which coordinates with the national preventive campaign for 1920. More than 660,000,000 seals must be sold to defray the expense of this nation-wide movement. The ten-day sale will begin on December 1st.
