 Pursuant with their efforts to elimin- ate all practices that will superinduce the growth of tuberculosis, the womens auxiliary is an advocate of the shop early'' idea as they declare that the overtaxation on the women clerks, espe cally at Christmas time, lowers the vi talty of the person in fighting the germs of the disease which are constantly brought in contact with them in their dealings with the public The members of the auxiliary are doing their best to spread the gospel of early shopping among those who are interested in the anti-tuberculosis work, that the purchase of stamps will not be the only means available for the public to aid in the wiping out of this fearful disease.
