The proceeds from the sale of the seals are used to fight the white plague, which is the great est menace to-day of the human race. So far wo have not seen any of theso seals on salo in Walhalla, but we are Informed that they can bo purchased at the oillco of N. L. Fant on Main street, in tho old Enterprise Hank building, across from C. W. Fitch ford's store. It may not bo so con venient for you to cross the street for the special purpose of buying tho seals, but lot us Inconvenience our selves a blt in-order to help this worthy cause. Walhalla will fall far .short of doing her share in this sale if we do not all make an effort to help. There ls not much time left In which to uso tho stamps for tho Christinas season, but get your seals and use them liberally on the re mainder of your Christmas packages ai d on your mail matter generally. Ruy Seals! Stick them on every ing! Every dollar will count in the irk of reducing the monaco of tu rculosls. OCR CHRISTMAS WISH. | ? ... . .?? ? i i li?
