Suddenly strange thing happened.

filled the room there appeared. COM

which reminded me of human eyes.
They wavered strangely. as If moved

around and found some soap with

fellow, I haven't but a quarter to

it in SOAP" He took it back to
the cheese knife, scaped off the
name of the maker, cut each cake
into four nice quarters, wrapped
each in tin foil and tied it in pink
baby-ribbon and started out. In
an hour or two he was back and
bought a dollars worth. The next

bought all the soap of that kind

RED CROSS CHRISTMAS
SEALS

Mrs. H. G. Hansen Of Sand
stone, was in Askov last Thurs
day and made arrangements to
have Red Cross Christmas SEALS
for sale here during the holiday
shopping season. The sale at
these stamps In Sandstone and 4
few Of the neighboring towns
will be looked after by the Home
Economics Club Of Sandstone.
The members Of the health COM
mite are Mrs. H. G. Hansen,
Mrs. S. A. Colliver and Mrs. John
Wenner. As most people know
these stamps cost ! cent apiece
and the funds derived therefrom
are used in fighting tuberculosis.
The Minnesota Public Health
Assn gets 30 per cent which
money is used throughout the
state and county associations get
the other 30 per cent to be used
within the county. As there ID
no county organization in Pine
County the Home Economics
Club of Sandstone will get the
so per cent just the same and the
money will be distributed to
those in need In the territory
which they work. It Is the aim
Of this club to cover more terri
tory each year until they have d
complete county organization.
And as long as we buy the stamps
anyway we might as well have 4
county organization and derive
more local benefit. Red Cross
Christmas Seals are sold all over
the civilized world and an enorm-
GUS lot of good has been done
through this medium. A few
pennies spent for seals will be
spent for a good cause as every
seal Is a bullet in the fight against
tuberculosis. It helps protect
your country, your neighbor,
your family and yourself from
the disease and it's cost. Tuber-
culosis is our most destructive
disease. One person out Of every
four in America who die between
the ages OF fifteen and fifty die
from tuberculosis. But it is pre-
ventable and conquerable. Mrs.
H. Petersen will have charge OF
the sale Of stamps in Ask0v.
They can also be procured Ut
some Of the stores as soon as
they arrive.
