The truth is | am far more interested in pre-
venting disease than | am in curing it.
But | beg Of you not to misuderstand me.
To my mind the conscientious doctor is one Of
Gods nobility. The medical profession on the
whole Is a group Of unselfish men. striving
earnestly to wipe out disease, to relieve pain and
to add to the span of life.
Did you ever think about this, that the doctor
is working every day to do away with illness, TO
destroy his means of income? He is preaching
health, knowing all the time that as sickness
grows less his income will grow smaller.

sleeping quarters for the women

from Sally's shoulder. I'm wom-

before. I've been paying Nita five
dollars week to carry me to and
from the show tent for each per-

other little things she does for me,

flaps of the dress tent, which was
deserted except for the fat girl, al
ready asleep and snoring Stertor-

difficult and unaccustomed task of

two new towels; mascara, lip rouge,

black comb and brush; tooth paste

"Oh, these kind people!" she
whispered to herself, and bent her
head upon the makeup box and

at herself and humming a little
tune below her breath, she lifted
the tray and found-not the tell
