Discontinued for Time.

Nearly H.O00.OOO was raised in this way
before 1865. After the war this method
OF raising money was discontinued in
this country for a generation although
it found vogue in Portugal, Switzerland
Austria, France, Spain, Denmark, Nor
way. Russia, Sweden and other European
countries. There are now thousands of
different types of charity stamps used in
all parts of the world, as many as forty
being used in Austria for children's hos
pitais alone.
Stamps or seals We're 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 r. Bsseil,
the energetic secretary of the Delaware

In 1865 Mr.. Riis' interest was aroused
by the receipt of a Christmas tuberculosis
stamp on letter from Norway. He
published an article about this queer
looking stamp in the Outlook, and sug-
gested some possible uses for it in this
country. Miss Bissell at once saw an
opportunity here and prepared a stamp,
from the sale of which her society real
lied 5000 for tuberculosis work

union leaders, whose removal caused the
strike may return to work. Miss Leslie
will have her old position. Another place
will be found for Dujay. Work in the
department in which he was employed
has been slack, and it was said there
was nothing for him to do in his old
place.
If it is found necessary to put some
of the employees on part time the agree
ment is that the hours of the out-of-town
men shall be reduced first and then the
hours of the single men. This is the

Christmas seals throughout the country

who know how this charity stamp idea
originated.

similar to the Red Cross seals as far
