Next winter Red Cross seals will be placed on sale in Rensselaer and Remington, as well as in all townships with the township vice-presidents. The proceeds are to be used in the treatment of and prevention of tuberculosis. The net proceeds of the sale of these stamps will remain in the county and will be used in the treatment of tuberculosis patients. The plan of the state association for the Christmas season of 1912 is to supply the county association with the Red Cross seals and advertising matter to increase the sales. Each county association is to sell the seals and keep 75 per cent of the proceeds to be expended in the county, the remaining 25 per cent to be turned over to the state association. This 25 per cent will be used to pay printing bills and other expenses, and to carry on in 1913 a campaign of education that will enable the people to protect themselves against the Great White Plague. / When you -buy a Red Cross seal three results are accomplished. You contribute a penny to the Red Cross white plague fund; the person who gets the seal from you receives a cheerful holiday greeting; the penny will help some victim of tuberculosis in his fight for life. It can be used on letters or packages going by mail, express or iby personal messenger, but it does not pay postage. Dr. Moore, whose headquarters are in Room 25, State House, at Indianapolis, will be glad to answer any correspondence relating to the care and prevention of tuberculosis, and will give recommendations for the treatment of patients as well as any of the officers of the county organization.
