CHRISTMAS SEALS
 ID BE SOLD HERE
Visiting Nurse Committee to
 Handle Labels Again
FOR TUBERCULOSIS WORK
Most of Money Will Be Used in Ber- lin-Legion Installation Tonight State and Military Taxes Levied Local Rural Route Extended.

Once again the visiting nurse committee has undertaken the sale of Christmas seals and, with the success of last year to encourage it, is ready to make all effort necessary toward achieving that same success this year.
 With the exception of last year the results of the seal sale were not encouraging. Up to that time the state had charge of the sale and the money collected went toward the state fund. In this way the town obtained little if anything from the Gale. Last year, however, the visit ing nurse committee decided to un- dertake the sale of the seals and signed a contract with the state to that effect. In this way the bulk of the money collected went to the town and possibly about 15 per cent reverts to the state. Last year the town obtained something over $40O from the sale of the seals This money was used by the health au- thorities of the town to combat tuberculosis and prevent it's spread. All money collected is deposited in the Berlin Savings bank in the tu- berculosis fund.
 Although the stamps are well known. their story and the way in which they originated is not usually known. They were, first used in Denmark. where a Danish postal clerk utilized them to procure money for the tubercular children of Copenhagen. Miss Emily P. Bissell of Wilmington, Delaware, intro duced them into America. She de- sired, 1t Is said, to raise money for tubercular relief here in America but did not quite know how. She learned of the method used in Den mark and forthwith applied it here. Obtaining $3,000 for the project, she began her work. The following year the first nationwide sale of tuberculosis Christmas seals was un- dertaken, and since then it has in creased in vigor.
 The work here this year will be carried on by the same committee Mrs. k. O. Clark will sponsor the sale in East Berlin, Mrs. Russell Gold in Berlin, and Mrs. John Moore and Mrs. Henry Hooker in the Ken sington district.

 There was a large attendance at the supper given last night in the kensington Congregational church. These suppers will probably be held weekly and all are open to the public.

Pleas Flee Sun Tan,
 DermatOlOgist Finds

Munich, Oct, 25. R}-Thc flea, pest of Europe for centuries, is rapidly dying out, says Dr. H. Loeb, Munich dermatologist, and the lad Tor sun tan is entitled to at least part of the credit. The balance, he says, should be charged to fresh ar and bathing beaches.
 Even in southern countries. the doctor says, it has been observed that under the influence of sun the human skin acquires properties that are obnoxious, if not injurious to the flea. He even goes so far as to predict that in few years the pestiferous insect may become so rare as to become an inmate of museums.
