XV A True Story of The American Farm Girl of Today the Work of the Bureau Meeting Christmas Seal Editor Courier: In reading one The Farm Bureau Meeting held Busy v of Americas leading magazines, I found the following article, which expresses my idea of its contents: The American girl of today, be she shop girl, well to do, middle class or millionares daughter, is the product of the life of today. Education matters little where her activities are concerned; for as long as she has a storehouse of that indefinable qualty known as Pep and is attractive and has money to spend or else has someone to spend it on her, she can hold sway in whatever position, birth or climbing has placed her. When the power of money is so much in evidence is it a small wonder that that the girl of today, realizing that it is a part, and a great part of her strugle for attention, desirous to make of herself the embodiment of all that this power represents. Her critics have said that she is immoral. But are they correct in assuming this. It is to be doubted; for above all else, these girls realize in just what catagory immorality would place them much better than did their sisters of past generations, who were secluded and kept in ignorance of the follies of life. The present day girl goes near enough to the fire of temptation and is thus the better equipped to avoid the flame. The greatest Bulwark she has in fighting immorality is the fact that she knows the truth concerning that side of life. With everything about her bordering on chaos and indicision, is it not better by far to see those who cover costs. are to be the mothers of the future H. P.

Hyrum, Cacke County, Otak, Friday, Nov. 30, 1923 ' ad A letter Just received at the offices of the Utah Public Health Association, from one of the cases discovered by the Traveling Health Clinic when it, was making its tour thru the State, throws great light on the possibilities of saving human life ifsuch cases can be found early enough and then followed up with proper instruction. James H. Wallis, excecutive secretary of this organization has personolly visited many of these cases in this State, and by words of encouragement, correspondence, literature, books and othor meanr, has helped these sufferers to get back on the read to s I recovery. The writer of the letter referred to is Mrs. Bertha Uragraff, who lived in' Santa Clara, five miles distant from St. George. She is a prominent Relief; Society worker in her community, and the mother of a large family. Her story is best teld by publishing her letter:' Santa Clara, Utah, November 16, 1928. Mr- James H. Wallis, Salt Lake City, Utah. - Dear Mr. Wallis:I hope you will pardon me for being so slow in answering your letter, asking shs permission to use my last letter to encourage others who are fighting the You are more same batte as i '4b use"1 than welcome" it,' if iV'cah help some poor suffering soul to better health.

I stood the cold and the heat better than ever before. I have drunk about 3,000 eggs since I went to the Traveling Health Clinic. I am returning to you your book and Journals of the Outdoor Life. Many thanks for the use of them. I certainly do appreciate the interest shown in me during my illness. The book, (Pottengers Tuberculosis), came just at a time when I most needed it; my lungs were bleeding quite badly just at that time, .and it was such a help to me in keeping lip my courage. It is a wonderful book, not only to' help those who are sick to better health, but those ho are well to keep well. It has been a great help to me. Assuring you that I appreciate what you did for me, and that you will be able to heip others also, I am, Very Sincerely, (Signed) Mrs. Bertha Graff Mr. Wallis, in commenting on the recovery of this woman, says: If we only saved this one life, the pennies collected from tha sale of Christmas Seal. which the were used to send the Ciinic on its journey of discovery, was well worth it. But we have accomplished so many other things, that those who have contributed in the past to the Christmas Seal- Sale may feel that their investment has been well spent seveial times over.

It is simply wonderful; believe it it myself, I hardly thought it would take at least five or six years before I would be able to do as much work aBd feel as well as I do qow, and many of my friends have told me since I am better that they used to pity me so when they would come to see me suffering, and one would say to the other, Oh, what a blessing it would be if that poor soul could only die and I can be free from her pain, thinking well I could never that again. get I was an invalid until in March when the change came, and since' then I have been doing most all my house work; put up 350 quarts of fruit and vegetables for ,my familyralso helped others who are sick; so you see there is a great change. Never before did life seem so sweet to me. I have tasted of the bitter, therefore can more fully appreciate the sweet. If there is anything in this letter that you wish to use to encourage others, you have my permission. I know that if the sick will but keep up their faith and courage they can arrest the disease just as I have done, but they must Never Give Up, but have a strong determination to get well, and when thpy ftel blue and want to cry, just smile and say, no T.

For more than a year I couldnt eat, or sleep, or do a bit of work. . 1 Funeral of Mildred Smurthwaite Funeral services over the remains of Miss Mildred Smurthwaite, who at her home in Salt Lake City, and whose body was brought here for burial, were held in the Wells-vill- e Tabernacle last Monday afterdied oclock.
