Red Cross "SeaI" Enlarged.

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 &C.
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
more devastating disease than any
war or pestilence that had ever bedl
known. Why not have an emergency
relief fund for use in this war in all
parts of the United States, since the
enemy was everywhere? The idea Of
national stamp was therefore
launched in 1908, and with little or no
organization, over $135,0O0 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 greater or less
degree In almost every state in the
Union. "A Million for Tuberculosis"
is the slogan of the campaign. AL
ready 25,0O0.000 stamps have been Is
sued and every indication points to the
sale Of four times that number
The United States postoflce 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.
Every man, woman and child in the
United States can help in this war. It
Is not war that demands much sac
riflce. Surely, anyone can give cent,
a nickel or dime for a few Red Cross
seals. Each seal placed on a letter or
a package helps the one who sends It.,
It helps the one who receives It, and
also the unknown one for whom It
helps to provide a chance for life and
death. Every seal will become bull
let directed at the enemy whose con-
quest Is desired. and all the money IL
used in the place where the seals are
sold.
