"NHE decisive phase of the last bat

Ia October 8, when Foch threw
three British armies against the

tAe Germans had surrendered, their ar
mics already expelled from France and
driven from their last organized system

One of the reasons the sanatorium is
regarded as so important by those who
are fighting tuberculosis is that it is q

mother is prevented from injecting her
own children and is taught how to pro-
tect them when she goes back home. The
tuberculous man is impressed with the
fact that If be is careless he will pass
on the disease to others. 1t is by thus

lest strides are made in checking the spread
of the disease.

Offers Hope of Cure to
Plague Victims.

In 1913 the city Of Lewiston. Maine
had sale Of Red Cross Christmas seals
and thus raised a small fund for tuber.
cuosis work. The city did not know
exactly what to do with the money. for il
had not given much thought to the prob
lem. But progressive public health
nurse saw an opportunity she had long
looked for. She advised that the sum BE-
set aside until 1t could be added to by
another stamp sale. The following year
the people redoubled their interest Tho
fund grew and was added to BY contri
buttons.
In 1916 the nurse reported to the Ma.
uonal Association for the Study and Pre-.
vcntion Of tuberculosis that ground had
been bought for sanatorium with funds
,aised largely by Red Cross Christmas
'enls Last September the sanatorium was
opened. ----.--#-.
Lewiston is only one of thousands of
communities where the tuberculosis move
ncnt has originated with the sale of Red
Cross Christmas seals. 1t is estimated
that approximately ninety per cent Of
the support for the tuberculosis educa-
tienal movement comes from the sale OF
the Christmas stickers. Much OF the
money thus collected is used to erect and
maintain sanatoria until the city or county
