Financias the Charles County
Chspter Of American Red Cross.

The Charles County Chapter OF the
American Red Cross, always ready in
emergency to get busy, has before IL
the wonderful Peace Program author
lied by the parent organization and
has taken hold with enthusiasm and
interest determined to put the same
energy into conserving and preserving
the general health Of the County, as
was exhibited during the war in carry
ing out the war program.
1t must be remembered that every
thing asked for aud to be accomplished
at the present time is solely for the
benefit OF the people of Charles County
with the possible exception that various
committees may be asked to do mend
Ing or prepare children's clothing for
foreign relief, but the main work to be
dune within the county is for the coun-
" and by the county.
Or. Spencer, the recently elected
Chairman of the Chapter, is preparing
u list OF those prominently engaged in
Red Cross Cross work during the war,
and these ladies and gentlemen will
constitute the Committee on member
ship.
becoming a member at a cost of 81 90
per anuutn is small contribution to
the work. yet multiplied often enough
will afford a sufficient sum to finance
the employment of a county nurse,
therefore the Chapter desires and will
attempt to secure at least 5000 mem
bers No investment will return bet
ter interest. At a cost of one hundred
pennies, you can help make Charles
County better place to live in. by
preventing disease. Further than that,
bringing the services of we'll trained
nurse into families unable to afford
such assistance in time Of need, will
help reduce suffering and promote re-
covery from illness.
Remember, every dollar you give
buys something for the county.

Some Letters May Be
Sent Without Stamps.

II the monthly bills and statements
received June l, are without postage
stamps on the envelopes, do not think
the merchants have made a mistake
and forgotten to put on the stamps.
They will be acting under an order
issued by the Post Office Department
under a recent act of Congress provid-
ing for the acceptance Of first-class
mail matter for mailing under a permit
without stamps affixed. This privilege
hitherto has been extended only to sec
ond. third and fourth-class matter.
Permits must be secured from
the Post Office Department for the priv
ilege of leaving the stamps off, and
special permit stamp will be issued to
each user. The mail must be paid for,
of course, at the regular rate.
Owing to the law which makes it
mandatory on post offices to postmark
all frst-class mail, it is anticipated
that the first-class letters without the
stamps will be run through the cancel
lation machine just the same as usual
in order to get the postmarks on them.
As we see 1t, the scheme will relieve
the senders of many 'hckingsp, but
will add to the duties of the already
overburdened postmasters.

in the form of money, contributed in
order to begin the work at once.

tended work next year, with happier
children, because of the benefits thus
provided.
