How to Use Red Cross Sea ais.

The postoffice department has ap-
proved of the Red Cross Christmas seal
design being used this year, and the
seals may, therefore, in accordance with
order No. 5000 of the postoffice de-
partment "be affixed to the reverse side
of domestic mail matter" Red Cross
seals must be placed only on the back of
letters and not on the address side of
any packages that are going through
the mail. They may be placed anywhere
on matter by express. AS many seals
may be used on the back of letter or
package as may be desired. Care
should be exercised in sending merchan-
disc through the mails not to place
seals over the string with which the
package is tied, since this seals the
package against inspection and subjects
it to first class postage rates. Red Cross
seals may be used on the reverse side of
mail matter sent to Austria, Germany,
Great Britain, and most of the British
Colonies, except India and Australia.
Guatemala, Uruguay and Portugal re-
fuse to admit mail bearing non-postage
stamps. Red Cross seals may be used
in the face of checks, on bills, 90 legal
documents, and on any commercial
paper. These Christmas seals are not
good for postage. They will not carry
any mail matter, but any kind of mail
matter will carry them.

Gifts for Small Boys or Girls.

The December Woman's Home Com
panion contains an excellent article en-
titled christmas Gifts That Crow" in
which the author shows how a little
money given to children, if properly in
vested, will grow into larger sum and
also keep the young folks interested in
something worth while. Following is
an extract:
christmas before last father who
owned vacant city lot gave his oldest
son bank book that recorded the de-
post of two dollars to his account.
Then he told the boy that he could have
the use of that lot the following year,
and when spring came he would have it
plowed and narrowed and made ready
for the seed. Long before time for
planting came the boy had decided to
put the entire patch of ground in pota-
toes. He had unusual success, because
he had selected good, smooth, mealy
potatoes for seed, and having city water
on the next lot, he was able to water his
plants when they needed it. The young
ster early learned that there was a
scarcity of potatoes that year, and
when the price was high in the fall he
decided to hold his yield until he could
get the highest price for it. AS con-
sequence, in the spring he added quite a
sum to his original bank account, and
enthusiastically made preparations for
planting the ground to onions this year.
Another little fellow, about twelve
years old, persuaded his father to lease
the empty lot next to their house for
him, and he raised cucumbers. A seed
firm supplied him with all the seed and
information he needed for making the
project success, and at the end of the
season bought the seed from him. His
success was so easily attained that his
sister was allowed to make use of an
adjoining lot the next year. Their
reading has developed along more edu-
cational lines, because they are so in
terested in finding out the best methods
for growing things. They are planning
to grow cabbages next year, to give the
land rest, as well as to gain knowl-
edge along another line of farming"

There are other reasons of lesser i'm
