Red Cross Christmas seals date back iu their origin to "charity stamps," firsi used for the soldiers' relief funds In Boston in 1862, during the Civil war. After the war, this method of raising money was discon unueu in tins country for a generation, although It found vogue In Portugal, Switzerland, Australia, France, Spain. Denmark. Norway, Russia, Sweden and other European countries. There are now several hundred different types of charity Btamps used in all parts of the world. Stamps or seals were first used to get mouey for the anti-tuberculosis crusade in Norway and Sweden in 1904. After being used in these countries for three years, as a direct result of the Interest of Jacob Rils In this movement, the Delaware AntiTubercuiosls association, headed by Miss Emily P. Bissell, and the Red Cross society of Delaware combined in issuing a tuberculosis stamp. So successful was this campaign that nearly $3,000 was realized, and the next year, in l908, the American Red Cross was induced to issue a national Red Cross tuberculosis stamp. From this sale, $135,000 was realized, that amount being almost doubled In 1909. This year, for the first time, the sale is organized on a comprehensive basis, taking in all parts of the United States. A million for tuberculosis frork is confidently expected. THEIR FATE.
