WALTER GARNETT. Prop.
Mrs J R Middlebrook has re
ceived a very interesting letter
from Richard C Armistead. Sgt.
Co. K. 47th Infantry, who at the
time of writing was at Frier, Ger-
many. Sgt. Armistead was
wounded hut got out of the hos-
pital in time to lie with his com-
pany when the armistice went
into effect, and then marched
into Gennanv with the army of
occupation. Space will not per-
mit the publication of the letter
I in full but his tribute to the Red
! Cross is especially worthy and is
{as follows:
| “The Red Cross has fulfilled
I every expectation, every desire,
and von good women may know
« jyour lahor was not in vain. I do
jnot like to think what this war
{would have been without the Red
•Cross. A fellotv was cared for as
tenderly, his every want and need
(looked after, as if he had been in
| his own home. The patient, un-
tiring. self-sacrificing work of the
! Red Cross in relieving suffering,
'caring for us fellows when we
jcouldn’t care for ourselves, in dis-
tributing the thousands of gifts
from across the way. has earned a
place in our hearts that nothing
holds. It seems to combine
mother, sister, friend, all in one.
and there were times I can assure
you when it was needed. Every
fellow seems to feel that it was
the transferred care of loved ones
i»ack home, as indeed it was. So
to you wonderful women of
America, personified in the A. R.
C.. goes our sincerest apprecia-
tion and heartfelt thanks. You
are indeed the soldier’s big
Sister! Tonight 1 am sitting in
the Fnlisted Mens Club, near by
the Red Cross, -a large. #ell
lighted room, listening to the
piano while a hunch of fellows are
dancing with the Sisters, and it
makes me think of those happy
evenings spent at your home in
the dim. misty, distant past, when
the heart was young, and a fellow
could laugh and love held him in
its golden meshes.”

A NATION WIDE DAY FOR
PRAYER NAMED
Members of the Methodist
and spirit-led revival in America.
The Methodists are not planning
any close communion in the mat-
ter, but are asking all churches in
America to join them.
. The Methodists have particular-
ly caught a vision of the need of
this revival because of the Cen-
tenary Movement of that church,
a movement to revivify all of
their congregations from one end
of Methodism to the other.

“That it is hereditary,
is absolutely untrile.
“That grown people axe sus-
ceptible to it.” Grown people
break down with tuberculosis, hut
rarely “take it.” The germ is im-
planted in childhood.
“That a person who has tuber-
culosis should he shunned or
avoided.” Tuberculosis is differ-
ent from some other contagious
diseases in that one who has it. if
careful, need not be a danger to
others.
“That it cannot be cured.”
Thousands on thousands of people
are living and working today lie-
cause of having taken the “cure”
who otherwise would have been
helpless or dead.
“That medicine will cure it.”
Fresh air. good food, rest and op-
timism a^e the odlv ,medicines
that should lie used except on a
physician’s prescription. “Patent”
medicines are dangerous.
That one with tuberculosis
should ‘go West and rough it.’ ”
Following this advice has killed
thousands.
“That no one will help or ad-
vise the tuberculous.” Call on
your county or city health officer
or write to the State Tuberculosis _
Sanatorium. Carlsbad, Texas, and (
you will lie given authoritative {
advice.
