XMAS STAMPS SELLING
MONTGOMERY PEOPLE AIDING IN
 TUBERCULOSIS FIGHT.
Every Man, Women and Chtld In City May Do Something to Ala In
 Combatting Plague.

Montgomery people appreciate the necessity of actively combating "rhe White Plague" and the necessity of aiding in financial ways to stamp it out in this community. This is shown by the way in which the Red Cross Christ mas stamps arc selling. The stamps are on sale at Nachman & Meertief's, The Montgomery Fair. Alex Rice's store and soon will be sold from booth to be erected in the lower cor ridor of the post office. Reports from each of the places where the stamps may be purchased are most encourag. ing.
 Thirty thousand stamps. as a first instailment, were secured for sale from the National Red Cross Association by the Montgomery anti-tubercuiosis or- ganization for sale here. The stamps will not carry mail or take the place of the usual government stamps. They are designed to be placed on packages letters and postal cards, mailed dur ing the holiday season ana carry with them an added greeting of Christmas cheer a' a.
 The sale of c single stamp means something done for sufferers from the dread tuberculosis and the sale of many means much greater ability and increased funds to combat the national scourage. The necessity of every Montgomery man, woman anu child purchasing one or as many e they feel they can buy during the holiday season ia obvious.
 The buyer or Red Cross christuaas stamps. whether the purchase is one or thousand stamps. is not only ob. taining c cheerful greeting to place on relative or friend, but ia also making a contribution to one of the greatest moveriients ever organised in Amer lea. People all over the United States are buying the stamps, not only for the bright cheerful stamp itself. but also to contribute to the efrort of the American Red Cross in driving the white plague out of the land. The selling of the Christmas stamps for this purpose began last year, when over $i40.00o worth were sold in thff- ty-fve States. Pennsylvania people bought s21.0oo worth of the stamps. Massachusetts bought s1a,000 worth. The little State of Rhode Island was nearly Ss,0o0 richer after the saie-so far as the anti tub ercuioeis work was concerned.
 The more widely people become ac- quainted with the stamps. the more readily they sell. and the Red Cross Christmas stamp gives every sign of being the most conspicuous factor. not excepting santa Claus. during the holi- day season this year. The newspa- pers all over the country have freely given their services in helping the Red Cross spread information of the Christ mas stamp and philanthropic purposes for which 1t is sold among the people of city, town and rural communities. Tn many cities the bill posters have be- come enthusiastic over the Christmas stamp cause. and will post thousands of posters and tack up thousands of cards that the stamp and its meaning may Dc brought before the public.
