ALEXANDRIA, Va, December is. 1910.
The sale Of Red Cross seals by num-
Der of young ladies in this city who are
stationed in number of business houses
has far exceeded the expectations Of the
promoters Of the Anti-Tuberculosis So
ciety, under whose auspices the sale is
being held.
The sale began Monday last and there
has been a liberal response so far on the
part of citizens. The sale will be contin-
ued next week and will end Friday. The
opinion prevails that the proceeds the
coming week will even surpass those OF
the present week. Thus far the results
are reported as most gratifying, and the
amount which will be realized from the
sale, it is said. will without special effort
double the amount taken in last year
from the same source.
