An interested citizen writes as follows
as to what one may expect on that day
To all who ever in their lives have been
sick, greetings: This message is for you.
One and all of you. the best medicine
you ever received was the careful nursing
by some woman's hand. Is there one of
you who does not believe this to be the
essential restorative for all sorts and
conditions of ailments? If So do not
read further But if you do believe in
the careful, scientific and tender care OF
the sick you will be glad to do anything
under the sun to help along Brightlook
Hospital, to help restore the bright look
of health to every sick person that the
hospital and its nurses can care for.
1t is doing the most humane and bene-
fetal work of any institution IN this
town. 1t has had the support of the
people and now it asks for fresh dem
oustration of it.
Ifyou agree with the above senti-
ments, then one week from today buy a
tag. 1t will be "tag-day" and the whole
town is to be tagged for Brightlook
Hospital. You won't have to look
around for an opportunity to buy one
you can't escape it. II you go out on
the street they will be offered TO you, i
you stay at home they will be brought
to you. Automobiles filled with young
ladies will visit every house in town and
tag it irresistably. Tags to the right o.
you, tags to the left of you. And how
much will they cost? Any price you want
to pay from ten cents towel any old
figure No sums, however large, will be
refused. Think of the suffering people
relieved aad restored in the sunny rooms
of Brightlook and then buy tag. Next,
wear it, ANY person without a tag by
ten o'clock Wednesday morning will be
subject to arrest by the first pretty girl
met on the street and held up until prop
erly tagged. One good man proposes to
tag every member of his family, his
dog and COW and all the chickens he can
catch. Moral, $50 thou and do like
wise The proceeds of all the tags will
be used to provide additional and abso-
lutely necessary equipment and to help
meet the deficit in running expenses
No unendowed hospital ever pays its
own way. Brightlook needs $500 a
year income from the healthy part OF
the public. The sick part pay the rest
It's a square deal
