The sale of the Red Cross Christmas
seals has begun. The seals can be
bought in all of the stores and the
association in charge of the sale are
anxious that some of these seals be
made part of every Christmas pur-
chase. The sale of charity stamps
is an old idea that has always been
successful. 1t was first used as means
Of raising funds for the needs of the
soldiers during the civil war. Later.
countries in Europe adopted the plan.
Stamps OF seals were used in the anti
tuberculosis crusade in Norway and
Sweden in 1904. Three years afterwards
the method was adopted in this coun-
try, with the result that $1,000 was re-
allied the first year. In 1908 $3.50
was made by the sale of stamps, and
in 1909 the sum was nearly doubled. Il
is hoped that this year the amount will
reach a million dohars.
