and handicapped to suffer and die
unaided. To get proper care when
you need it is one of the many
blessings of a civilized world. The
prevention of sickness and acct
dents is of paramount Importance
to the happiness of any world.
Beside the suffering, the expense
of sickness is so great that we all
should do more of the necessary
things to insure ourselves of a long
happy life. 1t is the usual pro-
cedure for US to seek the advice and
services of a physician when We
are ill. Too few of US follow his
advice when we feel well. All
through life we try to assure our
selves that our bodies will be cared
for when life is gone. 1t is the
custom and we are making no ar
gument against it, but We do ar
que that while we are alive every
thing possible should be done to al
low US full enjoyment of life. We
can not enjoy the present if we
are not prepared to hurdle some Of
the bumps in life. Sickness is one
bump that usually catches US un-
prepared.
The Minnesota Hospital Service
Association offers aid in case of
illness. DR.. w. D. Brown advised
US to mention this service in our
notes for the benefit of those who
did not know of it. Upon request
we were mailed information re-
garding the Minnesota Hospital
plan. This information may be OBJ
tanned by calling Nestor GIL, or
writing to 1888 University Ave
nue., st. Paul. Seventy-five cents a
month pays your hospital bills.
There is a list of the private hos
pitfalls for you to choose from. Your
family doctor may attend you. This
is a simple common-sense PROPOSE
ton well worth looking into. Some
day in some way some little germ
may get you, too.
The pneumonia germ went after
Leo Bohanon in such manner last
week that he took refuge in Fair
view Hospital. The same hateful
germ forced Mrs. Hazel Beal to re-
main in bed for the past week. DIR.
Brown reports both patients to be
holding their own nicely.
Mr.. Sam Peppers, $40 18th Ave
nue. South, has been confined to
bed because of illness. Mrs. Ozzie
Alexander, 3513 4th Avenue South,
is slowly regaining her strength
after a severe sick spell. Mrs. Ho-
bart Mitchell remains in her home

Our seventeen patients at Glel
Lake continue on the upgrade. W.
found several little errands to at
tend to for a few of them. w
spent forty cents on gifts for GU
little girl and started bank &C
count with ten cents for her GU
there. We hope some of you vii
help by adding to it from time t
time. 1t would be so nice for he
to have a little spending money S
that she could exchange gifts wit
the other children and nurses a
Christmas time. The children ar
allowed to buy pop and other Lit
tie luxuries occasionally. 1t is real
ly a grand feeling we have whe
we can dig down and pull out
penny or two of our own when "
are with others who are spendin
pennies.
