Washington from
5-year-old Adri- |
enne Mayer, “the
littlest modern health crusader,” re
cently decorated by General Pershing

children’s health crusade against dis
ease.

in his crowded schedule of entertain
ment and sightseeing to indorse the
fight against tuberculosis which the
Red Cross Christmas Seal represents.
“Startling facts on public health con
ditions were shown by the medical ex
amination of millions of men during
the war/’ the prince said. “These facts
have demonstrated clearly the neces
sity of attacking harder thai* ever such
menaces as tuberculosis. I am sure
tins world-wide work has the approval
of every thoughtful person. The seals
really represent the ounce of preven
tion. I wish the campaign all success.”
