Mr.. Miller has given the use of the

Society for the Prevention and Relief
of tuberculosis for the purpose of

charge will be made to cover the ex-

state All should avail themselves of
the opportunity of seeing them.
No crusade of recent years has APP
pealed so strongly to the heart and
intelligence of the public as that con
Quoted by the Washington Association
for the Prevention and Relief of Tu-
berculosis through its educational
moving pictures. The pictures are
very cleverly designed, carrying quite
as much dramatic and human interest
as the average picture play shown in
the theater
One film illustrates the duties of a
visiting nurse" whose work among
the poor is perhaps the noblest that
can be undertaken in the cause of
charity. This little picture play is
intensely interesting depicting a Sc
ries cf incidents that are typical of
the experience of a visiting nurse. An
other, entitled The Man Who
Learned" deals with the story of inn
pure milk, the scene being the typical
one of farmer who has run his farm
for years without using new fam
gled methods. AS the result, fam
lily quarrel arises, and the little
grandson, whom the father loves ex-
traYagantly, upon being taken to the
city falls i'll from drinking the milk
from his grandfather's farm. This
lesson leads the old farmer to clean
up his farm, adopt sanitary, modern
methods and market his milk in APP
proved scientific fashion. Still an
other series, imported from Paris,
shows the life history of the house fly
lentless enemy. But perhaps the most
popular picture play in the entire Sc
ries is The Red Cross Seal" which
deals with the heart history Of a
young country girl, who. living in
tenement in great city, finds joy in
the giving of her hard-earned pennies
to help her even less fortunate neigh
bors. A wealthy young man, who, at
tracted by her sweet fact, decides to
see how the other half of the world
lives, secures a room in the same ten
ement. where a new world of want, of
sacrifice and true-hearted generosity
opens before him. He becomes a
friend of the girl, and the closing
scene brings happiness to them both
in the form of love, wealth, and
great opportunity to do good.
Each film will be preceded by a
short descriptive talk by Miss Bertha
|. Beals, executive secretary of the as
Isociation. The films have been loaned
to the association by the Edison Man
ufacturing Co. and the General Film
! Co:
The following comments show what
some prominent people think of this
exhibition:
THE reason the general public is
not better Informed about public
health matters is because the material
| has not been presented in an interest
/ ing, concrete manner. These pictures
clearly present every phase of COM
municability, prevention and cure to
the last detail.-Dr A. f. Duryee, Ev-
erett Wash.
This program tonight was worth
800 to every family in Concrete who
heard it"-W d. Stickley. Council
man, Concrete, Wash.
These pictures were revelation
to me. They presented the whole tu-
berculoss problem in a concrete, hui
man manner, and brought home the
fact that the situation is indeed hope
! full. All that is necessary Is for each
to continually do his little share and
do 1t at once. "--EX-Goy. A. II. Mead,
