SALE OF RED CROSS SEALS
 AMOUNTS TO ABOUT $75o.
Some of Last Years Large Buyers Got
 Them Elsewhere This Year.

Between S5,000 and 90,000 Red Cross seals disposed of by the local branch for the benefit of the tuberculosis fund will be the result of the Christmas holiday sales, according to the ex- pectation of the local president, F. J. Leavens. although reports are not in from all who took seals. Last season SS.000 were sold out Of the 90,000 that the local branch had, and this season it is expected that the sales will equal that number, but will not dispose of the full 100000 which they took to sell. The rainy Saturday on the day before Christmas and the fact that a number of large buyers of a year ago secured their seals this year through other sources will account somewhat for not exceeding the figures of a, year ago.
 From the sale of the seals the tuber- culosis fund realizes SS,75 per thou sand less necessary expenses so that the probable receipts from this source will be between ST00 and $750.
 The seals disposed of through the vigorous campaign ( conducted by the Halle club totalled 35724, of which 27,97G were sold by the five Red Cross girls stationed at the Boston Store, Porteous & Mitchelrs and the postof- fee, The number sold by each girl varied with the time she was able to spend in the place assigned to her. They were as follows Miss Lottie Houldcroft S.3S6. Miss Ruth Rush r. 460, Miss Anna Doyle 5,112, Miss Win fired Fenton 4,026, Miss Ruth Kind D. 993
 A large number of seals were taken by merchants and manufacturers through distribution, from whom no iternized list was received, but the Red Cross society feels profoundly grateful to all who helped by their purchases, and it can be said that hardly any refused who was approach ed to buy.
