HOW LIVES ARE SAVED
Christmas Seals Always at Work
Stamping Out Tuberculosis In
Topeka and Shawnee.

Maria had tuberculosis. The public
health nurse had persuaded her
mother to take her and the four little
brothers and sisters to the city clinic,
which is maintained by the Topeka
Tuberculosis association. There they
told her that she had an advanced
case of the disease, and must go out
to the sanatorium. The little brothers
and sisters all had milder cases.
Maria's mother wanted her to go
at once, and preparations We're made
for her departure to the sanatorium.
And then she refused to go. Every
inducement was tried to make Maria
consent. but she would not go. Then
she took double pneumonia. For days
her life was dispaired of.
1t seems as if troubles never do
come singly, and Maria had not been
sick long, when her oldest sister ar
rived from New Mexico, with tuber-
culosis. She died at home A few days
mother, a sickly, tubereular baby that
did not live long. But Maria refused
to go to the sanatorium, where health
awaited her
One day two of the children went
out to Hillcrest to see a little friend
of theirs who was being treated for
a diseased spine. They saw how Won
derful it was there, and when they
got home (they had to walk because
they could not afford carfare) they
stay at the sanatorium to be cured of
tuberculosis The mother gave her
consent and out they went.
Maria was interested at last. She
went out to see them one day. and
when she got home she announced
to her mother that she wanted to go
too. So Maria is there today. slowly
but surely coming back to health
That is the kind of work the Tuber-
culosiS association is doing all over
Topeka. 1t does not operate Hillcrest,
but it works with it, and thru the
public health nurse whose salary is
paid by the association many people
are persuaded to go out there
The associations only source of
revenue is in the little Christmas seals
which are on sale in Topeka. Every
dollar which comes from the sale OF
the seals is given over to making well
people out of sick ones. When you
think of the work that is accomplished
by the organization thru the sale OF
the stamps. a dollar for one hundred
of them will not seem so much.

AT BAY ISLAND
Danger of Breakage in Leyees Not
Yet OVERALL In Level To-
tails Eight Inches.
Especial to The Argus

Aledo. April ga report from
New Boston late this morning stat
ed that the fall of the water since
the crest was reached, totaled eight
inches. Though indications are
bright for the saving of the district
the danger is as pronounced as al
any time before.
Many are of the opinion that as
the water is falling the danger IS
past and that there is no need for
many workers, but those in po-
sition to know state that the dan
ger is as great or greater than ever
before. Calls were sent to cities
in the county today for workers for
today and tonight. The levee is
completely water soaked and is In
a very weakened condition. Seep-
age is still causing trouble today
and il there is not sufficient crew
on the levee tonight to watch every
inch of the bikes a hole breaking
through could undo all the work
that it has taken hundreds of vol
unteers to build up during the past
week. It is hoped that Mercer
county's interest will not slacken
in the work until it is a certainty
that the levee will stand.

Aledo, April 26.-With the dis
charging of the jury this week by
Judge W. T. Church. the April term
of the circuit court is practically
finished. Many DEGREES and judg-
ments are yet to receive attention
and also a few chancery cases, but
there will probably be no more
trial cases by jury.
The law suit of the heirs of the

the Illinois Insurance company to
collect payment on two $4,000 pol
icies will undoubtedly come up at
the September term. The case of

leging damages of $4,000. created
great deal of interest when filed,
but failed to come to trial, being
withdrawn by the plaintiff.
