barded, her home might have escaped
She found nothing except her bare

You changed that picture, you Amer
leans, who can never be bOmbarded,
who can never lose through war five
out of the seven dearest to you. It
was not your husband and children
who died; not your wife who was
widowed; not your little ones who
came back, bony and tuberculaf, to

you; not yours but it might have been

back to health. But through the Red
Cross you saved the remnants of that
family that had suffered as you might
have suffered.
Things the Red Cross Did.
You took the mother of Mime. Pei

ed for anaemia. You took the little
girl, who was in the first stages of
tuberculosis, to a Red Cross sani-
tarium You found a place which
could be made habitable for Nine. Pei

anxious TO till You gave her clothes
and furniture you got her seeds; you
lent her implements. You sent a Wis

and that of her little boy. You sent
nurses, who achieved the mighty vic
tory of making her and the child take
baths. Later you persuaded her to let
him go to a refuge not far away where
he might attend school and where she
could often visit him. Through the
help of your Red Cross hope and cour-

And Yet This True Story Has a
Happy Ending.

Even Frenchman sometimes loses,
for awhile at least, his "unfailing''
sense of humor.
Take, for instance, the case of a
man from Lille, soldier, Waeltele by
name and only twenty-three. He had
done pretty well, for the yourgster had
already his own printing shop in that
northern French town, which is still in
side the German lines. In the trenches
Waeltele developed tuberculosis, and
he was sent to a hospital at GrenobIe
There he was considered incurable,
and after the usual three months of
treatment he was granted his IA ceats
day pension. Said his fatherly army
doctor MY son, you can perhaps cure
yourself if you will live in the noun
tains, if you will eat plenty of nour-
ishing food and, above all, if you don't
worry
WaelteIe should have smiled, but he
didn't. He was thinking of his baby
and his wife-and his IL cents. "Don't
worry!" The humor of it entirely es-
capped him.
Then the Red Cross stepped in. He
was found by an American woman
with some American Red Cross money
for just such cases, and within a few
hours he no longer had need to worry.
He was sent to the mountains at La
mure, in the French Alps, happy in
the knowledge that his family was be
ing cared for by these amazingly kind
Americans
And now the army doctors words
are coming true. Waeltele's lung is
healing fast, and he is dreaming of
another printing shop and of living
again some day with that little family.
There have been over 100000 new
cases of tuberculosis in France since
the war started, and to care for these
cases and check the White Plaques
spread is merely one of the big jobs
the American Red Cross has set out to
accomplish.
