nurse in charge. her assistant ArA Salina Anderson. or Miss Bernadotte Labadee. the board of health nurse. called at the stricken home.
 The mother Ill. tho home neglect ed. Remnants of the last meal stood on the kitchen table. drawing flies. An odor of stasnant air filled the house. The bed clothing had not been changed for several days The floor was untidy. The mother real- ized the situation. but being too sick to help. only worried.
 The nurse took off her coat and hat and rolled up her sleeves and things began to move. Three young sters stood around. eyes wide open. mouths open in astonishment as they saw this strange woman heat water. take | bucket and scrub brush and attack tho kitchen floor. But nurses. especially Waiting Nurs- es and T. R. Relief nurses, must do many things besides take tempera- lures and hold patients hands. The house was cleaned. baby's milk was warmed. the bed clothing was changed, warm broth or a cup ot hot coffee was made for the patient. then the older children were cleaned up and sent to school.
 Yes. all this is part Of the regu lar job. Even more. The nurse takes the patients daily health rec ord for the information of the doc tor. The windows are opened to let in fresh air and permit the escape of the poisonous bad air.
 Instructions are left for the chii- dren to appear at a clinic for ex- animation and advice. We can cure the parents. but we'll prevent the children from being ill. and stop this T. B. from going through the family" says the nurse.
 And so the work goes on. Patients are cared for according to their needs. The nurse visits tho home every day if necessary. Twice each week the children call at the clinic where they are examined and ad- vised how to grow up to be strong healthy men and women. Dr. Ernest Shoemyen. an expert on internal af- fairs of the body, is on hand to ad wise and care for the sick and to help keep the well from getting sick.
 Later when father comes home from the sanitarium. cured. and mother again is able to resume her homework. Dr. Shoemyen decides what father or mothers capacity is for work and how far they may go in taxing their strength.
 But administering curative treat ments to patients and preventive measures to incipient patients. does not end the nurses job. Not fre- auently the family income is cut off when father becomes ill and it is the nurses job to get into touch with the Welfare association and the department of public welfare to see that there is no interruption in the supply of food, clothing and warmth to the family. Often the physicians prescriptions must be filled and needed supplies furnished.

This is the nurses job also.

This is the nurses job also.
 To take care of all this work. New B.itain people now arc being asked to purchase Christmas stamps. More than ever before is help needed in fighting the spread of tuberculosis. All agencies arc cooperating. The United corporation aids: the board of health provides one nurse: the superintendent of the New Britain General hospital. Dr. T. Eben Reeks. is vice president and tn. business manager of the hospital. William S. Cannon. Is treasurer.
 The situation is serious. During the year now drawing to a close. $50 New Britain people have faced the fact that they were suffering from the disease; 65 sorrowing. heart broken families followed 65 hearses the cemetery-65 65 victims whom the Tuperculosis Relief association cannot bring home again.
 But there are hundreds Of others who can be saved. thousands of children who can be shielded against tile disease. The liberal purchase of Christmas seals will help.
 In New Britain last year the United Community corporation raised a paltry .,500 to aid in this work; the health board contributed $l00 and the salary of one regular nurse; the sale of Christmas seals brought in $2.400. making q total of only $S.OO0.
 Tho officers of the association are making an appeal to New Britain people to purchase Christmas stamps and save lives.

CHRISTMAS SEALS
 WAR AMMUNITION
But the War Is Against Increase
 Of Tuberculosis

The patient lay on the bed in the sick room. The house was strangely quiet. Only few minutes before the hearse had driven away from the door. The cortege had borne to his last resting place the wage earner of the family. victim of tubercu- losis.
 Tomorrow the ambulance would come to carry the wife and mother to the sanatorium. The county home seemed the only answer so far as the children were concerned. The future looked dark, and it was dark.
 \ year later the three orphaned children followed another procession 10 the graveyard. Tuberculosis had claimed another victim.
 The years passed on and the chill dren were married and had families of their own. History repeated it. sak and again the head of the fam i1 was found to be seriously ill. Family fortune had not been so prosperous and the call for a doc tor was delayed as long as possible. Finally fathers congh became alarming. the family physician was called in. One glance was enough, the word 'tuberculosis' echoed through that household like sledge hammer blows upon the hearts of its members. Too we'll did the hus- band and father remember the pass ing of his parents. Often had the little wife been told how her hus- band became an orphan The fear of the white plague had been drilled into the breasts of the chll- dren almost from the time they first toddled across the nursery floor.
 But the physician also knew the story. He had attended the hus- bands parents This time, we are not too late We've still got time" he added Arrangements were made immediately to send father to a sanatorium. There he gradually gained his strength.
 But the story does not end there. The wife became ill She too de- veloped cough which racked her whole body. The physician shook his head. You've got to have some cx- pert help here." he said. We can't let this thing get another start" Her fears confirmed. the mother visioned her children becoming orphans.
 The physician reported to the board of health. Another case-a mild one" The health department passed on a report to the Tubercu- losis Relief association. Miss Ventlie Logan, executive secretary and head

Chicago. Dec. 10 R-Mrs. A. L. Kubel of Laporte, Ind. had heard all about Chicago. So she knew just what to do when two villainous look ing men approached the sedan which her husband had just brought to stop for traffic signal.
