SHE SAVED HIS LIFE

INHE race OF the manager or large

sin city lighted up with smile when
the young woman caller at his Office
made known her errand.
Talk to the girls? Tell them about
the Free Chest Clinic? Of cours>
you can, and take all the time yo,
want I'll call them together now"
The health worker was bit SUI
utes to twelve and she had not e,
pected to get a chance for her heat
talk to the workers until the lunc
hour.
You're Miss Durbin, aren't you!
the manager continued, and when h
visitor NODDED assent, he added:
you saved my life, you know. Nc
I'm not joking. I'm in earnest. Yo

othy Durbin, who is one of the o.
ganizers with the Travelling Free
Chest Clinic of the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis Association.
WELL" continued the young man.
last year / went to your clinic when
you held at at (naming a city

culosis. l didn't believe him. l didn't
feel sick and so l thought it was all

about it and you kept on writing until
l made up my mind that perhaps I'd
better get busy. So l went to a doc
tor and he told me the same thing
that Dr. Pleyte did Then l followed
your and and DR.. Pleyte's advice and
went to sanatorium.
I'm a we'll man today and l have
you and the Wisconsin Anti-Tubercu-
losis Association to thank for it,
And back of the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis Association are the peo-
pie who year after year have pur-
chased Christmas seals and furnished
the financial support for its life-sav.
Chest Clinic is but one. 1t is to them
that the young man owes his life.
1t is impossible to estimate how
many lives have been saved by the
Travelling Clinic. Since it was estab-
lished over 200 clinics have been held
and more than 1900 persons have
been examined. One-ffth of them
have been found to be tuberculosis,
many of them in need of sanatorium
care. And the manager of the knit.
ting mill is by no means the only one
who has taken treatment in a sana-
forum and returned home with re-
stored health.
So convincing have been the proofs
Of the value of the work which the
Free Chest Clinic is doing and so
great is the growing demand for its
service that another clinic team is to
be established if this years sale Of
Christmas seals is large enough to
provide the additional funds neces-
sary. During the last year. even with
tbe cooperation of local chapters and
branches of the Red Cross, women's
climbs. local branches of the state anti
tuberculosis association. and other or
ganizations, it has been impossible to
send the clinic to many communities
which were eager for its service.

The senior class had an interesting
debate Friday morning in American

was, WAS the Mexican War of 1916

sides were formed Many interesting
points were brought up on both sides of
thequestion. Although there were many
facts brought forth which showed it was
unjustlfable, there were many who
staunchly defended America in think

Mr. Jiles, state inspector Of high
schools, visited us Friday and gave US
a very interesting talk on, "What we

reasons for going of which these three
were the most important. First, we can
secure better positions Second, it helps

To get good results from a flock OF
poultry during the winter all houses

ton, only healthy fowls placed in
these buildings, and good care given
to the poultry. AS it takes about two
weeks for hens or pullets to settle
down TO their new quarters they
should be moved early. The moving
should be done before they begin to
lay, for a shift after egg production
begins may set them back for a month
to six weeks. Moving pullets around
from one house to another is the best
means of holding back egg production
If they are developing too fast. The
United States Department Of Agricul-

sirable TO bring the pullets in from
the range before they begin TO lay.
