RED CROSS SEALS IN
 COUNTRY GREAT HELP

The mother of three children who lived in destitute circumstances on the outskirts of a Southern city was in- formed oy a physician that her ail- ment was tuberculosis Ignorant or the nature of the laalady, the father, a day lEborer, became stricken with the fear that the disease would spread to the children. The mother con seQuently was summed as leper. She was isolated in the small home and, at times. virtually imprisoned The children were not allowed to come in contact with her. though two of them were hardly out of their infancy, but the father enforced this rule with ire quent show of brutality
 The home was in an alarming state of demoralization when it was brought to the notice of a visiting nurse of the Anti-Tuberculosis association. who made an investigation. She ailayed the fears of the father by enlightening him as to the care of consumptive patients, installed a sleeping porch, kept the mother under her constant observa- tion and now has her on the highway to recovery.
 Anti-Tuberculosis assoications like this are accomplishing splendid achievements in the crusade against the white plague. Financial foundation for even greater success next year is being assured by the growth in the sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals Have you bought yours?
