TO PREVENT TUBERCULOSIS.

LaFountaine Herald. The Wabash County Society for the' Prevention of Tuberculosis who for the past three years have been taking care of the Red Cross Seal campaign in the county has been anxious for some time to have an active paid worker in their county. Miss Charlotte M. Straszer of St. Louis, Mo., has been secured to give one-half month at a time, until the first of the year, the remainder of her time being spent in Miami county, where she has been employed for the past 16 months. The first thing the society will undertake is to carry on an educational campaign throughout all the schools. Short talks on health and hygiene will be given to the older boys and girls and the story of the “Open Air School” will be told the younger children. Miss Straszer will also be glad to have cases of tuberculosis reported to the society so that some aid may be given those needing it. The society has a set fund for this purpose and expects to do much good throughout the county.

Guard the boy against an early fall cold. He’ll enjoy wearing one of our new sweaters, $1 to $2.50. —Hilliard & Hamill.
