along broader lines, and will be
larger and more comprehensive than
ever BEFORE" says DR.. Livingston
Farrand, executive secretary of the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of Tuberculosis, in a
statement issued today by the press
bureau of that organization.
Sale Not Forbidden.
DR.. Farrand denies absolutely the
statements which have appeared
recently to the effect that Postmas-
ter General Hitchcock had forbidden
the sale of Red Cross Seals. mo
official order has been issued on this
NATTER" says DIR. Farrand. ION
July LIST the Post Office Department
decided that they could no longer
carry mail matter which bore stamps
or seals viii h reese m b e d
postage stamps. Our design of the
Red Cross Seal. however, has been
approved definitely by Postmaster
General Hitchcock and the Depart
ment, and it does not come within
the prohibitions of this order of July
LIST. 1t hardly looks as though we
were going to abandon the sale,
when we have already placed the
order for the printing of fifty mil
lion seals and for large quantities of
advertising matter.
Made from New Design.
1.-The Red Cross seal this year will
be from a new design drawn by an
artist in Washington, D. c. Every
effort has been made to get as far
a way from the conventional design
of stamps and seals as possible. The
new seal will depict a very pretty
winter scene. In the lower right
hand corner will appear a snow-cov-
cred house with a pine tree, also
snow-covered, in the foreground.
The scene is at night and the win
dows are lighted. In the back
ground are trees and snow-capped
hills. In the upper left hand corner
will appear small red cross. The
entire design is enclosed with heavy
red circle. The year is expressed in
Roman numerals. The only other
words on the seal are American Red
Cross, Merry Christmas. Happy New
Year" The corners of the seal,
which will be square, are in white,
thus giving the effect of circular
seal when it is affixed to letters and
packages.
Can't Put Them on Face of Letters.
ct is very important that every
one bear in mind that the Post Of
flee Department will not carry any
letters bearing these seals or any
other non-postage stamps upon the
face of the letter. Red Cross Seals
may and should be placed on the
back of letters and packages.
Agents for the sale of Red Cross
Seals have now been appointed in
every large city of the United
States. More territory will be COW
cred this year, and more agents will
sell seals than ever before. We
need and want million dollars from
the sale of Red Cross Seals in 1911 ,"
1t is, we believe, customary for
paper to commit itself as to its pol
itical convictions In regard to this
we will say: AS formerly, the Jour
nal will be non-partisan, ever ready
to support any cause, which, to the
best of our knowledge, tends to ma
terially upbuild the general welfare
of the home and its people. Sum-
marily, we shall endeavor to have
the following, taken from Phillipens
4:8, as one of our mottos: Finally
Brethren whatsoever things are
true, whatsoever things are honest,
whatsoever things are just. whatso-
ever things are pure, whatsoever
things are lovely, whatsoever things
are of good report. if there be any
virtue. and if there be any praise,
think on these things. "-Mabelle C.
