spend another long season strap
ped to the rack. For Smiling
Joe" has had relapse. They
thought he was cured for good
when they loosed him from the
board to which he had been
strapped for four of his 10 years,
but he shows signs of increasing
weakness.
Little Joe was able to totter
about with his brothers and sis
tiers few days ago, and to help
with the decoration Of a little
Christmas tree, but on Dec. % he
was taken away to Roosevelt
hospital to see what could be done
for the pain In the back that has
begun to bother him again.
He went away smiling still,
true to the brave spirit that has
given him his name.
Smiling Joe" is known the
country over by his picture used
in advertising tuberculosis work.
His smiling face helped to bring
in $250,000 to a crippled chill
dren's hospital.
