Always clever at school with her water colors and brush,, she sent the above note every three inonth.j to friends of her mother and to those women who she knew belonged to clubs or did frequent entertaining, always giving the name of some certain hostess she had helped of late with an especially attractive luncheon. For the painting of simple placecards and the making ot shades in various hued crepe paper petals she charged ten cents apiece. The hostess furnished the material and the idea or certain color scheme she wished carried out. But Helen herself was constantly on the alaert for new ideas in favors and decorations, so that in time she became known as a person whose opinion it was well worth consulting before giving a dinner, luncheon or tea. Helen found ideas through reading the magazines her! mother took each month, frettine books on similar subjects at the library and visiting the art departments in the stores. On her fourteenth bi'thday Helen had started by sending little notes to members of her mother's tfiewing club saying that she could i paint place-cards and enclosing a .sample of her work. , This small beginning led to the adding of shades, favors, etc., until today, Helen at fteventeen and a senior in high school, has a substantial weekly income and two girl friends to help fill her orders.

National Tubercusosis

he National Tuberculosis asso ciation, with the aid of local and state organisations in every slate of the union, is sponsoring the greatest health educational campaign this country has ever known in an effort to check the increase of tuberculosis. There are 1,000 local organizaTuberculosis children at Neponsit tions in the movement, all affiliated with the National association in New York, and combating the disease at every angle. The campaign will come to a head in the weeks just preceding Christmas, when more than 6"0,000,000 Red Cross Christmas seals will be placed on sale in every city, town and village of the country, to get the fund with which to carry on the great battle next year. The Red Cross seals will be sold for one penny each and the intensive selling period will b from December 1 to December 10. According to the announcement made by the National Tuberculosis Association, laO.ooo persons are killed each year by tli" disease. Of this number 12,000 are children. It was also stated that $r.!)0,000,0oo is wasted annually by the rava the disease. There are, each year, more I ban 1,000.000 cases of tuben-ulosr-i re - ported throughout l!i coutury.

It is the purpose of the great health campaign now under way to teach everyone that tuberculosis can be prevented and can be cured. There are not enough sanatoria in the country today to care for one tenth of the known victims of Cue disease. To see that more are built and operated under proper conditions is one of the main par lioses of the work being done in the forty eight slates by the organizations leagued together. In addition to the systematic health education which is beiio; given to the entire country. spvial emphasis is leing laid on w.irk among the children. A health crusade which has for its aim the teaching of health rules to children is being operated.

"I got on to see what it was about and it started before I could uei off." "Well, we'll put you olf fit the next town. Sit over there in ilte corner." The Indian boy watched the clerks as they sorted the miil. taking the letters anad parcels from one sack and throwing them into several others.
