Her eyes were big and brown, and her nut colored hair curled naturally in little ringlets over her forehead and ears. She was just eighteen when we first met her and so neat and attractive that one would think she belonged to the well to do class of working people, bpt when we followed her to her home one day we confronted startling facts. The red In her cheeks was the flush of unnatural inward fever, the high spirits were a pitiful antidote to pitiless conditions, and the big brown eyes saw only squalor when they were not fixed upon a typewriting machine or closed persistently to any view but an imaginary bright one. The room we entered was a general living space, used also as an eating, cooking and sleeping apartment There was but one bed, and Betty had to sleep in it with her mother, who was too weak to sit up. Au open cuspidor sat where it would be conveniently near the bed, which placed it by the stove, where their food was cooked. The mother, who was suffering in an advanced stage of tuberculosis, did not like cold air, and her querulous demands caused Betty to keep the door and windows closed. "Well,” said cheerful Betty, with a laugh, “that isn’t so bad as not having any windows or doors to close, is it? Things might be worse.” “Infinitely worse," said the Wise One. “You might even take a notion to stuff the windows and doors with rags to cut out what oxygen comes in through the cracks.” Red Cross Christmas Seals, with their cheery message of hope, gave Betty a chance to get well after her mother died. Is it worth while to save the Bettys? Buy your share today. SEAL ON EACH SOLE. “Am I using Red Cross Christmas Seals?” reiterated a good natured old cobbler as he looked up from the shoe he was repairing to the person who stood blocking the doorway of the little shop and who had asked the question originally. “I don't know of them. What are they for?” he asked. When told that the little stickers were being sold all over the United States to raise money to prevent tuberculosis the cobbler became very much interested. “Now, I call that a good cause.” he drawled. “I don’t write any letters, and I don't send any Christinas packages. There’s just me and the old woman left. I can't use my seals that way, but I’ll tell you how I can use them. I will stick a seal on the sole of every shoe I tap.” PRESIDENT WILSON ON RED CROSS SEALS. As an expression of his Interest in the Red Cross Seal and Antl-tubercu-losis Campaign President Wilson recently wrote to the National Association For the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis: “May I not take this occasion to express to you my deep interest tn the work of the National Anti-tuberculosis association and my hope that its work is growing in efficiency and extent from year to year? May I not particularly express my Interest in the Red Cross Christmas Seal, whose sale has been the means of raising funds for the work? “It seems to me that this is a particularly interesting and sensible way of enabling the people of the country to give this great work their support.” SANTA GLAUS HAS TUBERCULOSIS. On Christmas eve little Dorothy, possessed of the whooping cough, was doing some fancy whooping for company that had come. “Dorothy, dear,” the mother said, ♦•you must stop coughing or Santa Claus won't come. If he hears you coughing he’ll be afraid to come In.” “I should worry,” Dorothy replied, showing full familiarity with modern expression. “Hetagofctuberculosls him self.” “Tuberculosis! Who told you Santa Claus had tuberculosis?” “Oh, everybody knows that. Don’t you buy tuberculosis stamps for him every Christinas?”

If SKIN BREAKS GUI AND ITCHES APPLY SULPHUR Use it like a cold cream and dry Eczema eruptions right up. The moment you apply bold-sulphur to an itching or broken out skin, the itching stops und healing begins, zoys a renowned dermatologist. This remarkable sulphur made into a thick cream effects huc.li prompt relief, e'en in aggravated Eczema, that it in u never-ending source of amazement to physicians. ' For many years bold-sulphur has occupied a secure position in the treat ment of cutaneous eruptions by reason of its cooling, parasite-destroying properties and nothing has ever been found to take its place in relieving irritable and inflammatory affections of the skin. While not always establishing a permanent cure, yet’ in every instance, it immediately hulhluoh the itching irritation ahd heals the Eczema right up and it is often years later before any eruption again manifests itself. Any good druggist will supply an ounce of bold-sulphur, which should be applied to the affected parts like the ordinary cold creams. It isn't unpleasant anil the prompt relief afforded is very welcome, particularly when the Eczema is accompanied with torturous itching. take saiis io FLUSH KIDNEYS Eat less meat if you feel Backachy or Bladder troubles you—Salta is fine for Kidneys. Meat forms uric acid which excites and overworks the kidneys in their efforts to filter it from the system. Regular eaters of meat must flush the kidneys occasionally. You must relieve them like you relieve your bowels; removing all the acids, waste and poison, else you feel a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the bock or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment; the channels often get irritated, obliging you to get up two or three times during the night. To neutralize these irritating acids and flush off the body’s urinous waste get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine and bladder disorders disappear. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys and stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts is inexpensive; harmless and makes a delightful effervescent lithiawater drink which millions of men and women take now and then, thus avoiding serious kidney and bladder diseases. 0 I DRINK HOT TEA FOP. A BAD COLD I Get a small package of Hamburg Brca: t Tea, or as the German folks call it, “Hamburger Brunt Thee,” at any pharmacy. Take a tablespoonful of the tea, put a cup of boiling water upon it, pour through a sieve and drink a teacup full at any time during the day or before retiring. It is the most effective way to break a cold and cure grip, as it opens the pores of the skin, relieving congestion. Also loosens the bowels, thus driving a cold from the system. Try it the next time you suffer from a cold or the grip. It is inexpensive and entirely vegetable, therefore safe and harmless. RUB KKEI LUMBAGGJIGHI OUT Rub Pain and Stiffness away with a small bottle of old honest St. Jacobs Oil When your back is sore and lame or lumbago, sciatica or rheumatism has you stiffened up, don't suffer! Get a 25 cent liottle of old, honest “St. Jacobs Oil” at any drug store,pour a little in your hand and rub it right into the pain or ache, and by the time you count fifty, the soreness and lameness is gone. Don't stay crippled! This soothing, penetrating oil needs to be used only once. It takes the ache and pain right out of your back and ends the misery. It is magical, yet absolutely harmless ami doesn’t burn the skin. Nothing else stops lumbago, sciatica and lame back misery so promptly! o— FOR SALE —A buflet and an 8-foot extension dining room table, and 6 chairs, nearly good as new; also china closet and sideboard.
