HOW THE RED CROSS
ORIGINATED.
Anti tuberculosis Workers After
$750,OOO Fund


Nearly $2,500,0O0 has been raised
by Red Cross Christmas Seals in
the last seven years, and yet many
.people who will buy these holiday
stickers at this eighth annual sale
do not know how the charity stamp
idea originated.
1t was war that brought forth the
icharity stamp-Our Civil War of 81
TO '65 Some of our grandmothers
first played pest office" with stick
ers similar to Red Cross Seals way
back in 1862, when they conceived
,the idea of selling stamps at fairs
for the benefit of the relief funds
for the soldiers hospitals in Brook
tlyn, Boston and elsewhere. Nearly
Isl 100000 was raised in this way
before 1865.
Stamps or seals were first used
ito get money for the anti-tubercu-
.losis crusade in Norway and Swed-
Zen in 1904 To Jacob Riis, the
lwell-kuOwn social worker Of New
York, and to Miss Emily P. Bissel
fthe energetic secretary of the Della
ware Red Cross, jointly belongs the
honor of originating our American
Red Cross Christmas seal.
In 1907 Mr.. Riis's interest was
aroused by the receipt of a Christ
mas tuberculosis stamp on a letter
from Norway. Miss Bissel induced
american Red Cross to take up the
sale in 1908 Oh a national basis. In
1914, in spite of war and hard
times 55,C00,000 seals were sold,
totaline $550.0O0 for the anti.tuber-
culOsis war.
This year, already 225,00O,0OO
seals have been printed and practi-
cally that entire number distributed
to agents in every state and territory
of the Union from Alaska in the
North to the Canal Zone in the
South and from Porto Rico in the
East to Hawaii in the West

1t is claimed that the automobile

The Red Cross Christmas Seal for
1915, one inch square, is printed in
three cOlors, an outline drawing of
which is reproduced above.
Every effort is being put forth to
sell 100000 seals, somewhat less
chan one for every man. woman
and child in the United States.
This will mean $75O,000 for the
anti-tuberculosis campaign in the
United States.
Fifteen million seals have been
allotted to Missouri and it is ex-
pected to that 100000 of these
will be sold, realizing $4,000 to
carry on the fight against tubercu-
losis. $4,000 net of which will be
used in the fight in this state.
Over a million pieces of stimulat-
ing, attractive and instructive print.
ed matter pertaining to the disease
will be distributed by the school
children of Missouri. Every school
in state will be given opportunity
to participate in the campaign to
save Missouri 5000 lives d year
from death by the great White
Plague.
Seals and printed matter to be
used in the campaign have been
shipped to M. D. Boucher, superin-
tendent Of Eschools. for use in
the campaign in Monroe City, as

The author says the book is

primarily as suggestion of a new
kind of social statesman ship which
our own as well as other countries
must take into consideration if they
are to be prepared to meet that
which, in victory or defeat, emerges
from the war.
For the German peril is only in

peril as well. The real peril to the

lies in the fact that Germany is
