Mother Helps Ten to Fight Tuberculo-

You must be mistaken, doctor. Ny

The young fellow was taking the
physical examination for the National
Army His number had been drawn
and with hundreds Of others, he had
presented himself for examination.
His lungs showed a lesion that had
never been suspected. He had all the
other symptoms of the early stages OF
tuberculosis Yet he had not given
his health sufficient attention to sus-
Dect the meaning of the daily rise in
temperature. and the fagged-out feel

confirmed the diagnosis. and the
young fellow was face to face with

Well, mother. guess its all up

went home that night
You have been accepted?" his
mother asked. apprehension mingling
with certain amount OF pride in her
voice
No. rejected, he said Respondent
"; I'm no good to the country Il
doesn't want me. I'm no good to any
body, I guess. I've got consump-

Consumption! his mother repeat
ed. Her big, fine boy had consump-
ton. She couldn't believe it. She
knew it must be a mistake But
when the boy told her Of the two ex-
aminations she realized it must be
true. Here was q new situation for
her to face. She had been willing 10
| give her body for his country She
would have been proud to see him go
out to fight for liberty. But she was
not willing to give him up to disease.
By chance she had read in the
paper that morning the appeal OF the

it was statement Of the work that

they read the article again.

for your country yet, SON."
Many mother and many a boy

days. Physical examinations for the

among the 100000 men who viii be

per cent, or 10000 men, will be found
to be actively tuberculous.
