you let me tell why both gratitude for

help extelminate tuberculosis makes
me buy and use Red Cross Christmas

from a cured patient in one of Wiscon-
sins County Hospitals for Tuberculo.
sis, who says:
II was shocked to learn In 1910 that
I had consumption. I thought that
was the end of me. Fortunately for
me the National tuberculosis Associa-
ton and the American Red Cross had
taken up the task Of informing the
nation that a pulmonary tuberculosis
can be arrested and perhaps cured by
combination Of fresh air, good food,
perfect rest, and freedom from care
In course of time this good news had
reached Wisconsin and the Wisconsin
Anti tuberculosis Association was Or
ganized to carry the message into ev-
cry corner Of the state Through this
propaganda sanatoria were established
in various parts of the state. So when
the disease became very personal
matter to me, there was an Institution
near at home to teach me how to
breathe. eat, rest. and think, SO as to
live with tuberculosis, and at a price
within reach Of my moderate purse
This was all the result of the philan-
thropic propaganda of these national
organizations and the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis Association, to whom
must always be grateful for my pres
ent health and strength
What Red Cross Seals have done in
Wisconsin they have done and are do
ing in every other state in the Union
All but tenn per cent Of the proceeds,
which is used for expenses. remains in
the state where the Seals are sold to
be used for tuberculosis work.

OIdud Hood Writes From France

A recent letter from Claud Hood
who joined the forestry regiment and
left here last August writing to Bob
Hull, friend Of his, under date Of Oct
10, from somewhere in France, says
among other things! we have to
talk to the girls with our hands. l
think by spring will be able to talk
French. The climate here is about
like it is in Seattle. 1t has rained about
half OF the time, but we are getting
used to it. Talk about money, they
sure have it here. 1t is nearly all
paper money. They have 10 and 30
cent pieces. The 20 cent piece are
un Franc. They have five franc bills
which is about equal in value to our
dollar. We get $1.15 for our good
American dollars. A big aireoplane
flies over our camp every day. They
sure can go some, and they make lot
Of noise. They won't let US write
much. Our letters might fall into the
hands Of the Huns"

HOW TO PREVENT PNEUMONIA
Spokane Physician Tells How to
Fight Dreaded Disease-Spe-
cial Precautions.

John B. Anderson, health officer
at Spokane, gives the following rules
as special precautions against pneu-
monia. Prior to 1902 pneumonia led
all other causes of death in Spokane
but since that time it has ranked
fourth. DIR. Anderson believes that
the decrease was due in large de-
gree to a campaign of education. AS
pneumonia flourishes in this weather
it will be we'll for all to read what
he has to say.
"Overheated and poorly ventilated
homes are breeding places for pneu-
monia," said DR.. Anderson. "a home
with proper ventilation and suffi-
Gent supply of moisture in the air
is warm enough at 70, while poor
ly ventilated home with dead air will
not feel comfortable at 80. Where
stove heat is used in the living
rooms a pan, tea kettle or other re-
ceptacle should be placed on the
stove to help moisten the air. The
first step in the morning should be
to open the front and rear doors
of the home and allow a good sup
ply of fresh air to pour in for 10
to Is minutes. One will be sur
prised how much more quickly we'll
ventilated house ygill warm up. Oc-
casionally during the day the doors
should be opened and the rooms ven
tilated, and where possible at least
one window should remain open part
way all day.
Fresh air, good, wholesome sub
stantial food and warm clothing are
safeguards against pneumonia. On
arising in the morning one should
stand before an oten window and in
hale some is or 20 deep breaths of
fresh air through the nose, and emit
the same through the mouth. When
inhaling the air raise the arms from
the side outward and upward until
they join over the head. Then drop
them quickly to the side, thus OK
polling the air under pressure. In
this way all dead or foul air will
be driven from the lungs and the
human engines oiled up Tor the days
work. Frequent brisk walks in tine
open air are good, with the body
clad in sufficient clothing TO keen it
warm. By all means one Shout;
maintain his vitality at this season
of the year, when greater demands
are made upon the human system.
