RED CROSS SEAL IN HISTORY
First Used During the American Civil
War-Now an Aid In Fight
Ing tuberculosis.

Red Cross Christmas seals date
back in their origin to charity
stamps" first used for the soldiers
relief funds in Boston in 1852, during
the Civil war. After the war, this
method Of raising money was discon-
tinued in this country for a genera
ton, although 1t found vogue in Por-
tugal, Switzerland, Australia, France,
Spain, Denmark, Norway, Russia,
Sweden and other European coun-
tries. There are now several hun
dred different types of charity stamps
used in all parts Of the world.
Stamps or seals were first used to
get money for the anti-tuberculosis
crusade in Norway and Sweden in
1904. After being used in these coun-
tries for three years, as a direct re-
suit Of the interest of Jacob Riis in
this movement, the Delaware Anti
tuberculosis association, headed by
Miss Emily p. Bissell, and the Red
Cross society Of Delaware combined
in issuing tuberculosis stamp. So
successful was this campaign that
nearly $4,000 was realized, and the
next year, in 1908, the American Red
Cross was induced to issue national
Red Cross tuberculosis stamp. From
this sale, $4,000 was realized, that
amount being almost doubled in 1909.
This year, for the first time, the sale
is organized on a comprehensive
basis, taking in all parts Of the
United States. A million for tuber-
culosis work Is confidently expected.

MIX THIS FOR RHEUMATISM
Easily Prepared and inexpensive and
Really Does the Work, Says
Noted Authority.

Thousands of men and women who
have felt the sting and torture of that
dread disease, Rheumatism, which is
no respecter of age, persons, sex,
color or rank, will be interested to
know that it is one of the easiest af-
flictions of the human body to con-
quer. Medical science has proven it
not a distinct disease in itself, but a
symptom caused by inactive kidneys.
Rheumatism is uric acid in the blood
and other waste products of the sys-
TEN which should be filtered and
strained out in the form Of urine. The
function of the kidneys is to sift these
poisons and acids out and keep the
blood clean and pure. The kidneys
however, are Of sponge-like substance,
the holes or pores of which will some
times, either from overwork, cold or
exposure become clogged and failing
in their function Of eliminating these
poisons from the blood, they remain
In the veins, decompose and settling
about the joints and muscles, cause
the untold suffering and pain of rheu-
matism and backaChe, often producing
complications Of bladder and urinary
disease, and general weakness.
The following simple prescription IS
said to relieve the worst cases Of
rheumatism because Of its direct ac-
tion upon the blood and kidneys, re-
lieving, too, the most severe forms of
bladder and urinary troubles: Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking well in bot
tie and take in teaspoonful doses after
each neal and at bedtime. The in
gradients can be had from any pre-
scription pharmacy, and are absolutely
harmless and safe to use at any time.

Slonif1cance in Names,

In an Illinois town a workingman

arrival, credited him with originality.
The incident resembles case nearer
home, adds the New York Tribune.
A New York family was blessed with
nine daughters, when the stork
brought a tenth one. 1t was in the
days when the slang term for an oft
told story was a chestnut" and as
the baby certainly came under that
head she received the name, but for
euphony's sake the French for the
word was employed, and she was call

Benny on BenevoIence.

Benevolence is a great thing. When
you have benevolence you cannot rest
until you do something to make other
people feel grateful to you. The other
day my mamma went up into the attic
to find a lot of old clothes to give
to poor people who could not afford to
buy any clothes for themselves. While
she was hunting around she found
gold-headed cane worth $25 that
grandpa had put up there IS years
ago, and forgot all about. Thus we
see, dear friends, benevolence brings
It's own reward.--Benny.
