WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1919 = EARLY 2,000 CLUBWOMEN have answered the call of the Chicago Tuberculosis institute for volunteers to assist in this year's sale of Red Cross Christmas seals, backbone of the warfare on the white plague in Chicago and Cook county. The sale will begin on December 1 and end on December 10. Cook county, owing to the enthusiasm with which the little seal has been received in the past, leads the world in the warfare on the white plague. No other community has so well equipped itself to fight the ravages of tuberculosis. The large organization which will handle the seals this year was built up under the direction of Mrs. Annie Peaks Kenny, formerly of the American Fund for French Wounded. Immediately upon her return from France, Mrs. Kenny was asked to take charge of the volunteer staff, recruited almost en- tirely from the memberships of the various women's clubs. There will be no house to house canvass or street solicitation, but "Santa Claus" booths will be placed in the stores throughout the Village, so that an opportunity will be afforded you to purchase the famous little penny seal. Those in charge of the sale this year are stressing the argument that "tuberculosis is more deadly than war", Americans to the number of 67,882 perished in the world conflict; in the same period 200,000 Americans died at home of tuberculosis. Approximately 150,000 persons give their lives to tuberculosis in the United States every vear. There are about 60,000 cases needing attention in Cook county today. Yet tuberculosis not only is curable--it is prevent- able. The sale of Christmas seals is nationwide. The Chicago Tuber- culosis institute is one of the 1,000 organizations affiliated with the National Tuberculosis association in a great campaign of education. The following clubwomen have been selected to serve as chair- men in the north shore towns: Mrs. J. A. Hoffman, Gross Point; Mrs. Fred G. White, assisted by Mrs. L. W. Crush, Wilmette ; Mrs. V. C. Sanborn, Kenilworth; and Mrs. John McEwen, assisted by Mrs. Lyman T. Walker, in Winnetka. : Vy. tyvond the ordinary.

Accustomed as we are to having with us a wealth of flowers in our; gardens throughout the summer, few of us give thought to the supply of bright blooms for the decoration of| our homes and the embellishment of our dining tables during the days when all outdoors is dreary, severe frosts having destroyed plant growth, excepting that designed by| nature to permanently relieve the! otherwise grim appearance of our! surroundings, but which alas! cannot, be utilized for indoor service. | In preparation for this season, which extends until the time when the sun once more warms Mother Earth and there spring forth the harbingers of another summer, the blooms of the magnolias, the lovely Golden Bells, and, later, the beauti- ful narcissi with the gaudy hyacinths | and tulips, our horticulturists have been busy indeed. Early in spring they have planted the Chrysanthe- mums, whose majestic lowers in late October and throughout November are a joy to all lower lovers, and the plants have required care under most exacting conditions. The young plants must be allotted liberal space in the greenhouses, protected from extremes = of heat. given just the proper amount of moisture and no more, and kept free from two especial troubles, aphis and mildew. Later they are planted out on. the raised benches of the greenhouses, where they are given still more room, pinched occasionally to produce only strong growths, from which, early in August, one growth from each plant is selected to bear the single bud which at maturity is to furnish a glorious bloom to delight our eyes--one flower, perhaps from six to eight inches across, from an in- dividual plant, the fruit of six months' care.

NY N N N \ N N N N \ \ \ WILMETTE, ILL, N our Thanksgiving dinner tables is the Chrysanthemum, its colors, pink, white, yellow, bronze, chestnut and wine shades, harmonizing with a trim of oak or other Autumn colored foliage or grasses, and accentuating the atmosphere of festive warmth which we aim to create on this day when we give thanks for the bounti- ful gifts of nature. Not alone in the direction of Chry- santhemums are the efforts of the horticulturists observed, for in late fall and winter one sees roses and carnations at their perfection, and these, too, are highly desirable for Tranksgiving use. Two absolutely new roses, originated in America, Columbia and Premier, will this year make their first Thanksgiving ap- pearance, dissemination, which is al- ways slow, having been completed, all sections of the country. Both are making them available in practically pink in color, the former light in shade, the latter much deeper, each delightfully fragrant. Few Orchids will be used this year at Thanksgiving, for the reason that growers have not been able to get their usual supplies of new plants, the quarantine against importations having thrown the growers upon their own resources, which are very limit- ed. Of course, it is possible to raise orchids from seed, but how many people know that about eight years are required to obtain a flower from seedling plant? FOR SUCCESS IN BUSINESS Wealth is, after all, only what is produced by us, either by mental or physical labor. It stands to reason, therefore, that if a man would be- come rich in this world's goods, or. in knowledge of things or men, he must work hard and long to acquire such knowledge and skill. And he will be rewarded in proportion to his work. Despite a lucky stroke oc- casionally here and there in a man's life, I am a firm believer in the motto that nothing really comes by chance to a man which is of much value be- Success has usually been prepared for, striven for, helped onward by his own innate ability, work, or tact in ways the exterior world often fail- ed to recognize. Hard work is the best friend any man ever embraced. I would say to all youthful be- ginners in business that business is like the land--the more you put into it the more you will get out. If you put nothing in, you will get precious little out; if you tend it in desultory fashion, you can only expect an in- different harvest, if any at all--Ex- change. : About 650 people were engaged in taking the first census of the United States.
