Fight tuberculosis

Sixteen years ago only five states
were making any active effort to cope
with tuberculosis. Today every one
of the forty-eight states has an antf-
tuberculosis association. In addi-
ton there are nearly 1900 affiliated
associations and societies.
Sixteen years ago there were only
100 hospitals and sanatcria for the
treatment of tuberculosis. Today
there are nearly 700 special tubercu-
osis hospitals and sanatoria with APP
proXimately $4,000 beds and more
than $50 clinics and dispensaries.
Sixteen years ago the limited funds
for the fight against tuberculosis
came from a few contributors To-

200 state and local organizations is
financed largely through the sale of

w the sky in the form. of a bat, saw
the Twins waken, he shrieked with
rage. After all his trouble of going
to the MagGian's Star and throwing
down terrible dreams to the children,
this was the end of it.
Nancy turned back from the
precipice she had nearly fallen over,
and Nick turned back from the
thorny patch which might have torn
him to pieces, and they reached the
little bush at the same time, the
little bush under which they had
slept, and near which they had
buried the record to keep it safe.

so glad to see you! Why did you go

Lets eat first said Nick re-

Instantly the little basket ap-
peared, containing hot porridge and
cream, toast, fruit and cocoa. And
the Twins ate like the hungy little
travellers they were. One can't climb
mountains and have so many thrill
ing adventures without getting up a
good appetite.
When they had finished, the little
basket disappeared, and now the
Twins were ready to go on their
way.

going over to the big stone behind
which they had hidden it under some
gravel.

Thus saith the Lord, thy Re-

which teacheth thee to profit, which
leadeth thee by the way that thou
shouldst go.-Isaiah 4SH7.
Every man has his own vocation.
There is one direction in which all
space is open to him. He has facul-
ties silently inviting him thither to
endless exertion. He is like a ship
in a river; he runs against Obstruc-
tons on every side but one; on that
side all obstruction is taken away,
and he sweeps serenely over a deep
ening channel into an infinite sea.
