Dying, Urges Purchase OF Red
Cross Seals.

Only few hours before his death from
tuberculosis a man in Arizona wrote a
letter to California editor from which the
following significant extracts are quoted
Anything that will encourage and help
the Anti-Tuberculosis Society in its fight
against tuberculosis is Of great Importance
to any community. and the fact that nearly
all Of the money collected from the sale of
these little Red Cross Seals is spent in the
community where the stamps are sold
should make it doubly interesting to every
one.
1T is not in Belgium or the Far East
alone that relief is needed. but right here
at home in our beloved America. Here
in the State of Arizona thousands Of dol
lars are needed every year to carry on this
relief work. In the little town of P,
not over 1000 miles away from our door
step. you can see some pitiful cases, cases
where the father Of two or three little
children lies day after day in poorly fur
nished quarters, perhaps amid unsanitary
surroundings. waiting for his health and
strength to return. while the wife and
mother works and strives to make things
more comfortable for the afflicted one. In
many Of the cases the income has been
entirely cut off for some time and the
family merely exists on what little the
wife can earn by washing and sewing and
on what the charitable societies are able
to give them.
And there is not the slightest doubt
that such conditions are duplicated right
at home and everywhere. Ask those who
have in charge the spending of this money
If there is likely to be enough to relieve
one-half Of the suffering from tuberculosis
among the poor. The answer will be not
one half or even one-quarter enough to
provide the actual necessities.
so when your readers are wrapping
their Christmas packages. let them place
few of these little red stamps on each
package and think Of the help they are
giving these poor ones. Let them thinl
what Christmas must be like for the little
ones in these homes. and then think whai
Christmas may be like next year II the
parent through proper care and thought
has been restored to health.

In MemOriam.

In loving remembrance of our youngest
boy, James Upton Beall. who departed this
life April 29th, 1915. aged Ia years, q
months and 20 days.
On a lovely Sabbath morning
Came a shock to us so wild,
1t was a message from the hospital,
Saying we had lost our youngest child.
Oh. the grief our darling Upton,
So bright, so happy and so gay
From papa, mama. brother and sister,
Had forever passed away.
Friends may think well soon forget him,
But while life and memory last
Well remember our brown-eyed darling
Till the death-grip holds us fast.
He loved life Now life eternal
God has given our darling boy,
But how much we'll always miss him.
He who was the familys joy.
Then, oh, to meet our darling Upton
With what joy our souls shall 60,
To that land so pure and holy.
Where no farewell tears shall flow.
Oh. the joy of that glad meeting.
When are banished grief and pain,
For our heartache will be over
When we meet our baby boy again.
Gone but not forgotten.
BY his loving parents.
Mr.. AND MRS. S. o. W. BEALL.
There's pair of busy hands
Laid to rest forever more.
There's two little sunburned cheeks
Whose rich poisoning is Der
Death has sealed those lovely eyes
Which no more will smile or weep.
They were windows of his soul.
Little Upton has gone to sleep.
He will wake in fairer lands
Where the angel band doth sing,
There his soul, II will expand,
There will all perfection bring.
Far beyond the azure skies.
Where the tiny star-eyes peep.
From all earthly cares and fears.
Little Upton has gone to sleep.
By his loving sister.

candies, oranges, apples, etc
There is lack of the little things that

chairs, small stands, covers for stands.

Childrens' alphabet and pictures would
