Christmas Seals Sales to Finance Worthy Students
 in Correctional Colleges

Among the most colorful of the io4l OhrlstsnaS seals are those Just Issued by the osetopathic Student Loan Fund Committee of the Amer. lean Osteopathic Association for the purpose of raising funds for flnan- cial aid to worthy students in osteo- pathic colleges.
 This years design features bright red poinsettia against Q yell low background bordered in white. Radiatlng from the center of the flower are smaller poinsettia leaves done in white. Lettering is in dark blue. The word "Osteopathtc" curves across the upper portion of the poin- settia, and the words Student Loan Fund" are placed horizontally in two lines across the lower part of the flower. The date le4i is in the upper left hand corner of the seal. Across the bottom of teh seal are the words Seasons Greetings"
 The seals are mailed to osteo. path!c physicians residing In all parts of the world and are distribut- ed through their otIices, osteopathic colleges, hospitals, clinics and auxil- iaries. They are purchased by the many friends of the profession, who thereby contribute to the cause and at the same time provide themselves with decorative seals for their Christmas package.
 This year marks the eleventh con- secutive issue of these seals, which are sold for one dollar for Q sheet of one hundred. Smaller numbers are available in similar proportion.
 Prior to 1887 all of these issues were undated. The first and second issues. 1881 and 1882, were identi- cal In design, an arrangement Of the letters A. o. A. in both horizontal and vertical positions, crossed on a background of holly in red and green.
 The design of 1888 was an old- fashioned student with a quill pen in hand before an opened book, in colors of red and green. In 1884 the design was identical with that of 1883 but in colors of blue and red. The 1885 picture was e pile of books, a lighted candle and Q star in red and black. The same design was used in ie36 with orange and blue on goli paper.
 The 1887 seal was a modernistic arrangement of solid spaces relieved by a star and holly in bright red and silver. The 1888 issue had a Christmas tree motif in dark green and white with silver border and the words ''Merrie Christmas" In 1889 the seals had g Santa Claus head and uplifted finger in red and white against e background of forest green. Last years design featured white candle in blue holder against circle of white light, all on a back ground of cerise red.
