remembered by those who had the
pleasure Of meeting him. He was In
every sense man Of worth and the
strictest integrity
For some time Mr. Aldrlch had suf-
fered from complications caused by
diabetes, which suffering he lore
with the courage and patience of a
christian gent aman, but all the skill
and careful nursing kindly given him
proved no stay to the ravages of his
affections and he passed away, leav-
ing an entire community Swallowed
with the great loss sustained. Mr.. AL
drich was seventy-six years OF age,
which bore against him, in his con.
test with death. He Is survived by
his grisved wife of Divernon and his

Few people understand that catarrh
is a constant drain on the system.
The discharge of mucus which is
going on in such cases is largely COM
posed of blood serum, and is a great
waste. Sooner or later it will weaken
the strongest man.
According to reports received from
Mr.. Johnson, he was in a. desperate
condition. but he found relief from
his trouble. We will let him say how
he found it. His own words say:
my friends told me to take Pc
runa. and | did SO. ! now feel that
Peruna has saved my life. 1t is the
best medicine on earth, and 1 would
not be without IT.
This seems almost too good to be
true. No doubt there are some read
ers that will think SO. The above
statements, however, can be verified
by writing Mr.. Johnson.

a generation, although it found vogue
in Portugal, Switzerland, Austria,
France, Spain, Denmark, Norway, Rus
STA, Sweden and other European coun-
tries. 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 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 well-known
social worker of New York, and to
Miss Emil P. Bissell, the energetic
secretary of the Delaware Red Gross,
jointly belong the honor Of original
ing our American Red Cross Christ
mas seals. In 1909, Mr.. Riis' interest
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 suggested
some possible uses for it in this coun-
| try. Miss Bissel at once saw an op-
"
portunity here and prepared stamp,
| from the sale of which her society
! realized $4,000 for tuberculosis work.
| So impressed was she with this sue
cess that she induced the American
Red Cross to take UP the sale in 1905
on a national basis. With very little
organization and with hardly any at
tempt at careful advertising, the sale
that year brought in, nevertheless
over S135,O0O for anti-tuburculosis
work in various parts of the United
States. In 1909, with more thorough
organization, the sale was increased
to $230,0Oo; in 1910 to nearly $31o,0Oo;
in 1911 to over $4,000, and over 40,
ooO,O seals, netting $4oo.y0O, were
sold last year.
