Mr. Wallis, in commenting on the recovery of this woman, says, "If we only saved this one Five Million Christmas Seals Sent to Utah The final shipment of supplies for the annual 3ale of Christmas Seals in the state were received at the headquarters of the Utah Public Health Association, state capitol, last week. The first seal was sold in the State of Utah in 1910 under the direction of the State Federa-tion of Women's Clubs. In ev-ery campaign since that time. tarian standpoint for tuberculo-sis which takes its greatest toll from early manhood and wom-anhood, strikes the, individual after the community has educa-ted, clothed and fed him, and just after he has reached the productive age where he can be-gin to repay. "The strength of the fight against tuberculosis has been in the fact that it has been demo-cratically financed. The man in overalls as well as the bank pres ident has paid the pennies at Christmas time, which have A- - 1 t lit family, also 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 life, the pennies collected from the sale of the Christmas Seal, which were used to send the Clinic on its journey of discov-ery, was well worth it. But we have accomplished so many things, that those who have contributed in the past to the Christmas Seal Sale may feel that their investment has been well spent several times over. to get well and when they feel blue and want to cry, just smile and say, "No T. B. you will nev-er get me," and they will be surprised to see how fast they will improve. For more than a year I could not eat, or sleep, or do a bit of work. Now I have a good ap-petite, sleep soundly all night, and have a nap every afternoon. I work most of the day without getting tired. If one would have told me a year ago that I "would be feeling so well in another year, I never could have believ-ed it. I weigh more than I have done since I have been married. 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 Out-door Life." Many thanks for the use of them. I certainly do appreciate the interest shown in me during my illness. The book, (Pottenger's "Tu-berculosis") came just at the 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 up the club women of the state have rendered invaluable ser-vice in the health activities fi-nanced by the little penny seal. This year's supplies include five and one-ha-lf million seals, enough to reach from one end of the state to the other. In the United States nine hundred mil-lion have gone to the forty-eig- ht state associa-tions and the more than eleven hundred local similar organiza- tions scattered throughout the United States. These seals, if placed in a row, would reach fif-teen thousand miles. These statistics, given out By the. Utah Public Health Association fur-nis- h some idea of the scope of this national health which campaign opens Thanksgiving Day and continues until Christmas Eve. "This state has been called upon to raise $50,000.00, which is barely 10 seals fo reach man, women and child in Utah," said James H. Wallis, executive sec-retary of the Utah Public Health Association "part of which money goes to the Na-tional Tuberculosis Association which has been fighting the white plague for the past fifteen years, and which has resulted in cutting the death rate from tu-berculosis in the United States one-hal- f. "The saving of these lives through the purchase of Christ-mas Seals is important from an economic as well as a humani- - guue io maKe a neaunier com-munity and by so doing has awakened his consciousness to the forces and acts which mean better health. It is the only vol-unteer philanthropy that has been financed by such small sub-scriptions from every man, ev-ery woman and child in the country." E. O. Howard, president of Walker Brothers Bank, was re-cently reelected president of the Utah Public Health Association for the sixth time. Beside him on the executive committee are James II. Wallis, executive sec-retary; Mrs. W. C. Howe, secre-tary ; Edgar A. Bering, treasur-er; Dr. 11. G. Merrill, Dr. Heber J. Sears, Mrs. Clarissa S. Wil-liams, Mrs. E. O. Wattis, Alex Hedquist, Dr. T.

Arthur W. Moulton, Elias S. Woodruff, Dr. George H. Thomas and Mrs. A. H. S. Bird are members of the Board of directors. More than one thousand of the representatives men and women of Utah will be engaged this year in the sixteenth an-nual sale of Christmas" seals. A TRUE STORY OF THE WORK OF CHRISTMAS SEAL A letter l'ust rer-eivpr- l nf tho - office of the Utah Public Health Association, from one of the cases discovered by the Travel-ing Health Clinic when it was making its tour through the State, throws great light on the possibilities of saving human life if such cases can be found early enough and then followed up with proper instruction. J. H. Wallis, executive secretary of this organization has personally visited many of these cases in the State, and by words of en-couragement, correspondence, literature, books and other means, has helped these suffer-ers to get back on the road to recovery. The writer of the letter re-ferred to is Mrs. Be-th- a Graff, who lives in Santa Clara, five miles distant from St. George. She is a prominent Relief Socie-ty worker in her community and the mother of a large family. I Her story is best told by pub-lishing her letter: I t Santa Clara, Utah Nov. 16, 1923. Mr. James II. Wallis, Salt Lake City, Utah. Dear Mr. Wallis: I hope you will pardon me for being so slow in answering your letter, asking the permission to use my last letter to encourage others who are fighting the same battle as I am. You are more than welcome to use it, if it can help some poor suffering soul to better health. There isn't anything that would give me more pleasure than to visit the sick and en-courage them. When one is so weak, one needs others to help them keep up their courage. 1 hope you will have time to call on some of the tuberculosis cases on your trip through the state, and encourage them, as you did me a year ago, I also hope you will call and see me, and note what a wonderful change has taken place in one year's time. It is simply won-derful; I can hardly believe it myself. I thought it would take at least five or six years before I would be able to do as much work and fell as well as I do now 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 be free from her pain." They thought that I would never get well again.

' "':'V FIVE BAD GOBLINS "NCE In a garden, long, long ago, there grew a rose bush, and In those daya, so the fairlea say, the rose bush had no thorn to prick fingers. And the fairies say It never would have had thorns If something had not happened which made It necessary for the protection of the little fairies that every pretty rose bush should have thorns. In this long-ag- o garden one night five dainty little fairies, after they had finished their work tinting the flowers, crept Into the half-opene- d buds of five roses and went to sleep. They did not Intend to sleep very long, just long enough to rest before Joining their sister fairies and their Queen in the dell for a midnight frolic. But the little fairies were tired and they did not wake up at the magic hour when all the little magic folk are abroad. inn m n iii ii the rosebuds apart and let the fairies tumble out. To each rosebud went goblin. ' First he took the wand from the sleep.1 Ing fairy and tucked It ut1r one arm. ' Then he pulled at the roae'fa&'i'nTI amid the falling rose petals each little fairy fell out on the ground. The five bad goblins jumped and away they ran before the bewildered little fulrles could pick themselves up or know Just what had happened. Five little fairies jumped up and rubbed their sleepy eyes, but It waa only a second before they discovered that their wands were gone, "It was the goblins," sold1 one. "They must have wandered Into the , garden and climbed the rose bush and ' carried off our wands." "Look, sisters," said another little fairy j "those bad goblins came here to do mischief. Look at the pretty flowers that were tinted. Every one has lost a petal. "They came to destroy our work and happened to And us asleep, so ' ' they stole our wands. We must hurry to the dell and tell the Queen what has happened." Out of their rocky doorways at the midnight hour tumbled all the gob-lins, bent on mischief as they always are, and five of them ran out of the woods Into the road, and, finding a nice smooth path made by a cart wheel, those five naughty goblins fol-lowed It The wheel path led straight to the garden, right up to the gate and when Aj .... V. 4V.httV' When the Fairy Queen heard their story she did not scold. She smiled and said: "Walt ad see what hap-pens. You shall have jrpui"wmkj, this very night, I promise you. JIow "N v run along and Join In the dance with your sisters." How long the merrymaking of the fairies had been going on no one could tell, but long before daylight streaked the sky Ave unhappy looking goblins came slowly Into the dell and made their way to the throne of the Queen. Under one arm each held the wand he had stolen' Just as he carried It away from the rose bush. They had not been able to do anything else, for when they tried to take the wand from under their arm each goblin found he could not move It or his arm either. All of their brother goblins tugged and pulled at the wands, trying to help them. But It was of no use, the arm and wand could not be moved, so they had to come to the Fairy Queen for help, i Very shamefaced did those flve naughty goblins look as they ap-proached the Queen j they did not hare to tell her why they had come. She gently touched each arm that held the wand and down fell the wand and away scampered those five goblins so fast that their heels looked like tiny pebbles tossing up and down. They did not even thank the Queen. All they thought of was getting away from the fairy dell and locking them-selves in their rocky homes. But the roses had to be thought of, now the wtinds were safe, for the fairies always used them to sleep In when they were away from home. So the Queen that very night started off In her pearl conch with Its white mice horses, visited all the rose bushes and placed thorns on every ono. And now you know why the sweet roses Imve thorn on their stems to keep the goblins from disturbing the fulrles if they happen to full asleep In a rosy bed. pr r am wrila you will agree that once a goblin pricked his finger with a sharp thorn ho would ' scamper away and never touch a rose hush affuln.

"Oh," exclaimed one little goblin, "this Is a flower garden and the tint-ing fairies have been here. Let's spoil every flower that has been colored. The Queen will be sure to see It and cold them." To every flower they went and pulled off a petal and, of course, they came to the rose bush where the five little fairies were fast asleep. The goblin thut hud climbed the rose bush where he discovered the Sleeping fairies quickly scrambled down and ran to tell Lis brothers. They are fast asleep and we will hide their wands," he snld. "No, let us carry them oft to our homo and change the stones into tilings we want," said another.
