Sheets 1 of the seals were mailed out Tues l day, and gratifying returns were made as early as yesterday after l noon Last year about $500 was raised through the sale Of these ! labels, and ii Is hoped that fully
 as much will ho raised in answer
 to th" present appeal, as the tuber- , culosIs fund Of the Plainvillo asso- citation now contains but slightly
 over Sf00.
 Of the money raised by the sale
 of these cheerful little seals S5 per
 cent is retained hy Plainvillo for use Tn fighting the white plague among local residents. The other 15 | per cent is forwarded to the state. which furnishes the seals and all materials. With the money which remains with tho local organization, sufferers from tuberculosis who
 would otherwise hc unable 10 eo- cure proper medical treatment are l.@lNen the necessary care. some arc sent to sanatoria. the PlainvilIe as sociation paying only S4 out of the si7 charge for board and the state making good the balance.
 All Plainvillo patients have now been discharged or have left the sanatoria 10 which they were sent, but last year this town had seven patients receiving care through the tuberculosis fund, draining it con- sidorably.
 The 1927 seal shows Santa Claus with his reindeer and slcigh and is q fitting successor to the chccry labels of past years. It Is not q post age stamp and should not be placed on the face of piece Of mail, but it is designed for usc in scaling letters | and packages and it's usc in this way brings medical aid to many who otherwise would have 10 struggle :, along without it.
