way for a gentleman whom l did not

a woman, beautiful woman, clad in
costume of f1ounced and rippling vel
vet of royal blue which made her the
most striking figure in the great room.
Hers was a personality not easily to
be overlooked in any company, her
face one not readily to be equalled.
1t was the Baroness Helena Won Ritz!

spark OF quick intelligence. II didn't
dawn on him that he was sweeping
the wrong way.
"Next day ! found the other boy
sweeping and he was sweeping the

place In Delaware, centering in and
around Wilmington. A little group
of women in that city, headed by Miss
Emily P. Bissell who was allied both
with the Red Cross and the Anti-Tu-
berculosis society, instituted the plan
of selling Christmas stamps, the funds
to be devoted to the local fight against
consumption. The idea had come
from Denmark. How the pennies ac-
cumulated in that first sale, And how
the dollars grew.
That experiment started the Amer
lean Red Cross to thinking. and they
reasoned that here was a war against
a more devastating disease than any
war or pestilence that had ever been
known. Why not have an emergency
relief fund for use i'm this war in all
parts of the United States. since the
enemy was everywhere? The idea of
a national stamp was therefore
launched in 1908, and with little or no
organization, over $135,000 was raised
for the fight against tuberculosis.
In 1909 more systematic attempt
to organize the sale was made. A per-
centage of 20 per cent. was charged
by the American Red cross to each To-
cal agent selling stamps, the sales ag-
aggregating fully $250,000 What is
even greater, this sale was the means
of interesting in the war on consump.
ton thousands of people who had
never before given this subject their
attention.
The outlook for 1910 is extremely
bright: The sale will be organized
before Christmas to a greater or less
degree in almost every state in the
Union. "A Million for tuberculosis"
is the slogan of the campaign. AL

sued and every Indication points to the
sale of four times that number.
The United States postoffice authori.
ties have requested that the stickers
be called seals" this year, and have
ordered that they be placed on the
back of letters and packages instead
of on the face. These seals will not
carry any mail. but every kind OF
mail will carry them.

coupled with Yankee ingenuity. should
have brought into existence the stamp
as means of raising money for the
soldiers relief funds. The scheme was
first instituted in Boston in 1862 at the
United States Sanitary fair, bat so
successful was the idea that other
fairs in Brooklyn, Stamford and
Springfield, Mass. at once adopted it.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars we're
raised in this way.
So popular. however. did the stamp
become. that the public became sati
ated. and soon after the war the sale
of stamps for charitable purposes fell
into disuse in this country. In Europe
the charity stamp was adopted in Por.
tug& for the first time in 1892, and has
been initiated with varying success in

AN INTOLERABLE ITCHING

Just about two years ago, some
form Of humor appeared on my scalp.
The beginning was slight itching but
1t grew steadily worse until, when I
combed my hair, the scalp became
raw and the ends Of the comb-teeth
would be wet with blood. Most of the
time there was an intolerable itching,
in a painful, burning way, very much
as bad, raw burn. II deep, will itch
and smart when first beginning to
heal. Combing my hair was positive
torture. My hair was long and tan
gled terribly because of the blood and
scabs. This continued growing worse
and over half my hair fell out. was

totally bald.
Sometimes the pain was so great
that, when partially awake, would
scratch the worst places SO that my
f1nger-tips would be bloody. could

short time, that awful singing pain
would commence and then l would
wake up nearly wild with the torture.
