The = tuberculosis association is
playing Santa Claus this year in two
instances. In the military hospital.
Fort Harrison at Helena, Mont, are
five North Dakota boys who went
overseas to help win our battle but
returned to fight their own battle with
tuberculosis These boys are far
from home and friends and the battle
with homesickness is added to their
troubles. A box has been sent each
of these boys from the tuberculosis
headquarters which will help in some
way tc while away the long winter
mcnths. The Montana clubs are
adopting" the Montana boys and re-
membering them at intervals during
the year. II North Dakota organizat
tions would do the same for their boys
much comfort and cheer would be
given them. Last week two North
Dakota boys left because they could
not endure the loneliness and restric-
ton. These boys are not allowed to
enter another institution until after
six months and in the meantime
chances for recovery. are against
them. A personal interest from
folks in their home state would do
much to keep these boys at the sani-
tariun until they are properly dis
charged.
The association is also playing
Santa Claus for the little girl at
Crystal Springs whose mother and
grandfather died Of leprosy. This lit
tie girl, living alone with her grand
mother, will receive the things for
which every child longs at Christmas
tide. Although not showing any sign
of the disease, these people are iso.
lated and do not enjoy the personal
contact with friends and neighbors.
