With the sale of the Red Cross Seals In progress in almost every state and city of the United States, The National Association for the study and prevention of tuberculosis Is issuing the following instructions to Its fifty thousand paid and volun teer workers engaged in selling the seals, and to the millions who will buy these holiday stickers for use on their Christmas mail. The post office department has ap j proved of the Red Cross Seal design, ; and they may, therefore, in accord- I ance with order No. r»020 of the post ! office department ' be affixed to the j reverse side of domestic mail mat ! ter." Red Cross beals must be placed ■ only on the back of letters and not on i the address side of any packages that are going through the mail. They may be placed anywhere on matter going by express. As many seals may be used on the back of a letter or package as may be desired. Every one is urged to use them liberally, j since every seal is a bullet in the fight I against tuberculosis. Care should be exercised in send ing merchandise through the mails not to place seals over the string with which the package is tied, since this seals the package against inspection and subjects it to firstclass postage | rates. Red Cross Seals may be used also jon the reverse side of mail matter I sent to Austria, Germany, Great Brit | aln and most of the British Colonies j except India and Australia. Guate- J mala, Uruguay and Portugal refuse to ; admit mail bearing non-postage j stamps. Red Cross Seals may be used on the \ face of checks, on bills, on legal docu \ ments, and on any commercial paper. These Christmas seals are not goo-1 I for postage. They will not carry any ' mail matter, but any kind of mail . matter will carry them . The slogan i of the campaign this year is "A mil ; lion for tuberculosis from Red Cross ' Seals." Every letter or parcel sent | out during the holiday season should j bear one or more seals. Card of Thanks.
