HOW RED CROSS SEAL
IDEA CAME INTO Being

Originating In Norway, Method Was
Taken Up Here Nine Years Ago.
Over $3,250,000 has been raised by
Red Cross Christmas Seals in the last
eight years, and yet many people who
will buy these holiday stickers at this
ninth annual sale do not know how
this idea originated.
While Red Cross Seals really date
back to the Civil War when "Charity
Stamps" were first used, the first cam
paign to sell holiday stickers for the
tuberculosis fight was only nine years
ago in Delaware Miss Emily P. Bis
sell of Wilmington, read an article by
tuberculosis work in Norway, and she
conceived the idea of a similar plan
here. Single handed, she launched a
sale which resulted in $4,000 clear
money. When Miss Bissell tried to
convince the American Red Cross that
this idea should be made national as
peace activity of that society, she met
with opposition, but finally persuaded
the authorities, with the result that on
an investment of a few hundred dol
lars $4,000 worth of Seals was sold
in 1908 and the great national cam
paign was launched. Since then the
sale has gone forward by leaps and
bounds, until now the Red Cross Seal
is an institution in the United States,
and offers to every one chance to
help in the peoples fight against the
peoples disease. Last year over 49,
OO0, 900 Seals were sold, and this year
the American Red Cross and The Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis, who con-
duct the sale, are out for 10O,O0O,OOO
sale or 100000 for the tuberculosis
War.
The policy on which the sale is con-
Quoted is that the money, except for
the deduction of legitimate expenses,
shall remain in the community where
the Seals are sold.

"She was real pretty, and so full OF

The visiting nurse of the Anti-Tuber'
culosis Society was talking. Her
eyes were big and brown and nut-col
ored hair curled naturally in little

She was just eighteen when we first
met her and so neat and attractive
that one would think she belonged to
the well-to-do class of working people.
but when we followed her to her home
one day we confronted startling facts.
''The red in her cheeks was the flush
of unnatural inward fever, the high
spirits were a pitiful antidote to pitt

eyes saw only squalor when they were

There was but one bed and Betty
had to sleep in it with her mother,
who was too weak to sit up. An open
cuspidor sat where it would be con.
veniently near the bed, which placed
it by the stove where their food was
cooked. The mother, who was suffer
ing in an advanced stage of tuber,
culosis, did not like cold air, and her
querulous demands caused Betty to
keep the door and windows closed
"eWell,' said cheerful Betty, with a
laugh, that isn't so bad as not hav,
ing any windows or doors to close, is
it? Things might be worse
Infinitely worse" said I. You
might even take notion to stuff the
windows and doors with rags to cut
out what oxygen comes in through the

RESTORED TO HEALTH
BY RED CROSS SEALS

Holiday Messengers Bring Happiness
to Homes Burdened With tuberculosis
Deserted by her husband, suffering
from tuberculosis in double form and
supporting herself and young boy by
her needle, the Anti-Tuberculosls AS
ISOLATION in a Western city found an
unfortunate consumptive, living in one
room with two little beds-one for her
self and one for her boy. Everything
was clean; but, oh, SO poor!
That was year ago.
This morning she took a train for
the state sanitorium, where she will
have a chance to get well, while her
boy is being cared for by the Anti
tuberculosis Association with funds
derived from the Red Cross Seal Sale.
Here is the story of another family
where happiness and health were
brought through the medium Of Red
Cross Seals:
tuberculosis had made heavy de-
mands upon the family, and the in
come had entirely stopped for several
months. It was inevitable that they
should run into debt for grocery bills
as we'll as the rent. With such worry,
anxiety and Aggression it is not al
ways easy to find a silver lining in
the clouds. The condition was recog-
nized, however, by the visiting nurse,
and the sick father was sent to hos
pital, and proper care was provided
for the others Relief was also OBJ
tanned, and now both rent bills and
grocery bills are being gradually less
ened each week. Each member OF
the family has had nursing care for
some ailment or other.
Every Red Cross Seal sold helps to
better conditions like these.
