RED CROSS SEAL IN HISTORY
First Used During the American Civil
War?Now an Aid In Fighting
Tuberculosis.
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.

Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Sourness, Gas
and All Stomach Misery Ended
In Five Minutes.
This harmless preparation will
promptly digest anything you eat and
overcome a sick, sour, gassy or out-oforder
stomach within five minutes.
If your meals don't fit comfortably, I
or what you eat lies like a lump of
lead In your stomach, or if you have
heartburn.that is a sign of Indigestion.
Get from any drug store here in j
town a 50-cent case of Pape's Diapepsln
and take a dose just as soon as
you can. There will be no sour risings,
no belching of undigested food
mixed with acid, po stomach gas or
heartburn, fullness or heavy feeling
in the stomach. Nausea, Debilitating
Headaches, Dizziness or Intestinal
griping. This will all go, and, besides,
there will be no sour food left over
In the stomach to poison your breath
with nauseous odors.
Pape's Diapepsin is a certain regulator
for out-ot-order stomachs, and besides
It takes hold of your food and
digests It just the same as if your
stomach wasn't there.
These large 50-cent cases contain
more than sufficient to thoroughly |
cure any case of Dyspepsia, Indigestion
or any other stomach disorder.
Remember, if your stomach feels
out of order and uncomfortable now,
you can get relief in five minutes by
taking a little Diapepgin.
