Something Better Than Money

Solomon tells us that "Riches GER
tain!y make themselves wings and fy
away as the eagle" We have seen the
truth of this verified many times
Even though it does not take wings
and we use ii to satisfy our craving
happiness, fitting from pleasure to
pleasure, we find, alas, that
pleasures are like peoples spread,
We touch the flower, the bloom is dead,
Or like the snowflake on the river,
One moment here, then gone forever"
But it is not our purpose to dwell
on the unSatisfying nature of things
that perish in the getting.
We want to cite you to one partic
ular tangible object that is better than
money and that money cannot buy.
This is the love of a child and the
sweet, hallowed influence that comes
into the home with the advent of
little child. You say that this blessing
has not been granted you Before an
Swering your statement, may we tell
you and interesting and pathetic story ?
All up and down the State, faithful
workers, agents for thc Safe Board of
Children'S Guardians. have gone ar
the call of suffering and neglected
children. Everything possible has
been done TO preserve home ties. A
worthy mother is aided in every way
possible in order that she may keep
her little flock together II is a rigid
policy of this board that every effort
be used to preserve family unity.
There are, however, cases where con-
ditionS are such that there is but one
course open and that is to have the
child committed to the State Board OF
Children's Guardians, taken to the
West Virginia Chldren's Home at
Elkins, from there to be placed in good
foster homes throughout the State.
Here is our answer to your state
ment. Here is a chance for happiness
that money cannot buy. These chill
dren are waiting at this blessed Christ
mas season, waiting for home where
Santa will come, waiting for someone
who shall be "mama" to them Will
you see one of these little ones, as the
writer has seen her, with tears stream
ing down her cheeks, calling every wo-
man who spoke a kind word word to
her, mother" pleading to be taken?
Christian mothers and fathers, here
is an opportunity for you to render
service to Christ and humanity. Give
a child home, put the best that is in
you into its training and rest assured
that the best will come back to you,
for
"Life is mirror of king and slave,
'Tis just what you are and do,
Then give to the world the best you
have,
And the best will come back to you"
Write to the State Board of Chill
dren's Guardians, Capitol Building,
Charleston, w. Va, for information
as to conditions of placement.

STAMPING OUT TUBERCULOSIS.

A careful medical examination OF
thousands of men, women and chill.
dren has revealed the fact that at leas,
one person in every hundred has tn.
berculosis Consumption in the active
stages, in which the disease can be
transmitted to others. The sad part oil
the story is that many people have
tuberculosis and do not know il and
through careless habits, are injecting
others. If all of the cases Of tuber-
culosis in Jefferson county could be
located and examined they would mum
Der as many as 1888.
If all the deaths from tuberculosis
in Jefferson county were reported it
would be found that the great white
plague" takes 81 persons in the county
every year. All the deaths from tu-
berculosis in West Virginia are not
reported and the statistics are made
by the West Virginia tuberculosis AS
sociation on the basis of the annual tu-
berculosis death rate for the country,
for the adjoining States and from tu
berculosis surveys within the State.
According to the standards accepted
by the experience of the national and
State tuberculosis associations over
period of fifteen years the minimum
number Of hospital or sanatorium beds
required for adult and child cases
needing institutional care and treat
ment should be from one to two beds
for every death. That is Fl beds
should be provided for tuberculosis
patients in Jefferson county.
The campaign against tuberculosis
is made possible by the purchase of the
little tuberculosis Christmas Seals
which are now being sold throughout
the Stat? BY the West Virginia Tu-
tcrculos!s Association and its local af-
filiated committees. In order to give
everybody an opportunity to purchase
the seals. several millions Of them are
being sent by mail 10 individuals VINO
might not be reached in any other way.
An effort is being made to raise
$4,000 fer expanding the tuberculosis
program IN West Virginia in 1923 The
West Virginia tuberculosis Associa-
ticn is claiming to seek legislation
which will provide for county ~ dis
