Red Cross Stamps on Sale At The Republican Office.

Having failed to find any organization in Rensselaer to sell the Red Cross" Seals, the Indiana bureau has forwarded 2,000 stapips to The Republican office with the request that yve offer them for sale. As an accommodation, the stamps will be sold at this office.

The Red Cross Society adopted this plan years ago by raising money to fight the white plague, consumption; and many persons in Indiana afflicted with tuberculosis are benefiting now by- former sales of the Red Cross Christmas seals. The seals retail for l.cent each; they are very attractive in appearance and are to be placed on .the reverse side of letters and packages sent Christmas time. Every one bought is just that much aid in the splendid effort of the Red Cross Society to provide treatment for con sumptives who are financially unable to properly care for themselves. The money is spent to build and equip open air camps, to pay 1 for the treats ment of cases in the Rockwood sanitarium and other institutions and in every maimer to make a fight against the disease. It is a noble purpose by a noble society and it Js hoped that the people of Rensselaer will take this opportunity to buy the seals and thus help a most worthy charity.
