liar 10 Red Cross seals way back In
1852, when they conceived the idea
OF selling stamps at fairs for the bene-
fit Of the relief funds for the soldiers
hospitals in Brooklyn, Boston and
elsewhere. Nearly $1,00O,OOO was
raised In this way before 1866. After
the war. this method of raising mon
ey was discontinued in this country
for generation, although it found
vogue in Portugal, Switzerland, Aus
tria. France. Spain, Denmark, Nor
way. Russia. Sweden and other Eu-
ropean countries. There are now
Thousands Of different types of charity
stamps used in all parts Of the world,
AZ many as forty being used in Aus
tria for children's hospitals alone.
Stamps or seals were first used to
get money for the anti-tuberculosis
crusade in Norway and Sweden in
1904. To Jacob Riis. the we'll known
social worker OF New York, and to
Miss Emily Il. Bissell, the energetic
secretary OF the Delaware Red Cross,
Jointly belong the honor of originat-
ing our American Red Cross Christ
mas Seal. In 1909, Mr.. Riis inter-
est was aroused by the receipt OF a
Christmas tuberculOsis stamp on a
letter from Norway. He published
an article about this Queer-looking
stamp in the outlook" and suggest
cd some possible use for it in this
country. Miss Bissel at once saw an
opportunity here and prepared a
stump, from the sale Of which her
society realized $4,000 for tubercu-
losis work. So impressed was she
with this success that she induced the
American Red Cross to take. up the
sale In 1908 on q national basis
With very little organization and with
hardly any attempt at careful adver-
tising. the sale that year brought in,
nevertheless, over $4,000 for anti
tuberculosis work in various parts Of
the United States. In 1909, with more
thorough organization. the sale was
increased to- $230,000; in 1910 to
nearly $4,000; in 1911 to over
$33O,OOO, and over 4O,00O,O00 seals,
netting 100000. were sold last year.

Horse Show Talk.

Secretary III. II. Mills, Of the Green
Vile Horse Show Association has writ
ten to Mr.. Geo. d. Shore, proposing
that horse show circuit be formed
composed of the cities Of Camden,
Darlington, Sumter, Columbia, Green
wood and Greenville. 1t is proposed
to have the shows in the order named
next spring.
The matter has been referred to
the Chamber of Commerce officers
and directors for their consideration,
and will be discussed at the weekly
meeting of the board of directors
next Monday evening. If the di-
rectorate of the. commercial organ
ization approves of the proposition, as
have several we'll known horse fan
ciers, the idea will be taken up at n
mass meeting later on.
1t is suggested that if the first show
is held at Camden we will be able to
hold the northern tourists in the
South for all Of the shows, and in this
way they will get better acquainted
with our resources and our people
Besides horse shows, such as are pull
ed off in South Carolina, interest and
furnish wholesome and profitable
amusement for thousands CT home
people as we'll. They stimulate inter-
est in breeding Of more and better
horses and mules because the horse
shows embrace contests and exhibits
of riding, driving, draft, farm horses
and mules also.
One thousand dollars offered in
prizes would induce some Of the
northern exhibitors to enter the con-
tests particularly as there are no
horse shows going on in the North
and East at that season of the year.
South Carolina would get q lot Of
advertising out OF these shows and
among the class Of people we want to
reach.
The managing secretary Of the
Sumter Chamber Of Commerce has
suggested that, in the event a horse
show is put on next spring in this
city, it might be good idea to hold
the annual School Field Day exer-
cises of the Sumter county schools in
this city at the same time the horse
show is going on.
These school field days are attend
ed by thousands Of the patrons, teach
ers, trustees, and school children.
While we are at it we could arrange
for an allegOrical parade, composed
Of the children Of the schools of
Sumter city and county.
Other attractions could be added
and it would be no hard matter to
have an annual spring festival, rs it
might be called, in which the people
OF the city and country districts would
be thrown together for mutual inter
est ana pleasure.

n New Cure faR Drink-F'rult as "a
Substitute for Liquor.

In the December American Maga-
zine Henry Detmers writes little ar
ticle entitled "a New Cure for Drink"
Mr.. Detmers says that he has been i'm
the saloon business for twenty years.
He Is not a drinker himself and none
OF Is sons drink. Out OF his ex-
perience he recommends the follow
ing cure for the liquor habit:
Il found early in my experience
that as q general rule--there are ex-
ceptions OF course-a regular consum-
er of fruit was not a very good GUS
toner In my business. On the other
hand. q typical booze fighter seldom
touches fruit. always kept some
apples behind the bar for my own use,
and I often experimentally offered one
to star customer who almost in
varibly refused. The moro ! looked
into this matter the more firmly j
became convinced that these two
habits clash. Not caring to have my
boys acquire the one inoculated them
with the other. and have found that
the fruit habit early acquired acts as
a perfect antidote TO the liquor habit.
Il mention apples especially be-
cause they are something like bread.
one never tires OF them. which is more
than can be said of peaches. pears.
and oranges. And apples. thanks to
cold storage, can be had every day
Of the school year.
why shouldn't the apple habit be
cultivated In the public schools at
public expense? School trustees could
advertise for bids to supply the school.
Then BY means of a push-the- button
contrivance placed at the boys and
girls exits each child could get his ap-
pie as he marched out to- play at re-
cess time. Two apples n day would
do the work. Children have veri-
table craving for fruit. i have often
heard our victims beg another for
the core. And IL IL happens that l
have merely imagined that the fruit
habit offsets the drink habit. know
that two apples day will have n val
ued influence on the health. good
temper. and morals of any child.
Please understand have no AK

II have never claimed to have dis
covered that fruit juices act as a Ii
quor antidote. although l have talk
