More Money Returned to City for

During the past year more money
was returned to C ottage Grove for the
care of tu b ercu lar p atien ts than has
ever been paid out in the purchase of
the tu b ercu lar stam ps which have been
put on aale by the W om an’s Club at
C hristm as tim e for several years past.
For this resHon th e m em bers of the
club are in hojica th a t the sales this
year may be much larg er than ever be
fore.
The money raised by the sale of Red
Cross tu b ercular stam ps is used for
both the prevention and cure of con
sum ption, the g re a te st atte n tio n being
paid to prevention. Ho|>eless cases are
not taken care of. This y ear a whole
fam ily was sen t to C alifornia from

The stam ps this year will only be on
sale exc usively a t The F a ir Store.
Many o ther stores wished to assist in
the sale, but those having the proposi
tion in charge believe the best results
can be obtained from a concentrated
effort. D uring the week of Dec. 12-21,
m em bers of the club will be present a t

are now on Bale for all who wish them .
