the first time its meaning had come
to me.

the proceeds of the sale of Red Cross

with the anti-tuberculosis work there.
She said the very hospital in which
was being cared for, and the very bed
in which was lying were largely
supported by the sale of the little
seals.

SEE ANOTHER CHRISTMAS
A Year Ago She Despaired Of Life

woman to the State Anti-Tuberculosis

how she was restored to health.

be told me that my lungs were af-
fected and that must give up work

those who have to make their own
living and who have others dependent
on them can realize what this
meant.
Il had worked for many years in
an Office, and while my salary could
not be called large, and my work was
taxing and not performed under the
most favorable conditions, it meant
bread and butter for me and for my
mother.
II need not dwell on the misery that
followed the doctors announcement.
But now I can look back and thank
my friends and all who helped me
through the trial, and be grateful
for the assistance that came to me
when needed it most.
Il went to a sanatorium. and my
affairs at home were taken care Of by
an almost miraculous arrangement so
could give myself up to getting
well. But had little thought Of get
