au wno Knew mm. ne came to Asne-
ville several years ago and has made
his home with Mr. and Mrs. Payne
until the time of his death, although,
for the past year he had been board
ing in Asheville to be near his work,
but even then, Mr. and Mrs. Payne's
home was his home, and the. day he
was taken so seriously ill, and when
his. suffering became so intense that
he must give up his work and go to
his boarding house, he requested that
he be .taken at once to Mrs. Payne's,
saying, '.'She knows how to take care
of me better than anyone else."
His request was carried out, ' and
Mr. and Mrs. Payne were., constantly
at his bedside, day and night, doing
all that could possibly be done to re
lieve his suffering, but in this case,
as in all others, "God's will, not ours.

Mrs. Payne "mother," his own mother
having passed away -when he was
a'uite a little boy. ' And when his
last hours on earth came, he still re.
membered their value and appreciated
all .they did for him. Just a short
time before he passed away, he press

almost his last words.
Dear friend of our heart and home
Dear Wash, with a face that shone!
The friend that was kind and true,
Our hearts are aching for you.
You have left us sad and alone,
There's a vacant chair now in our
$V home,
Your footsteps, no more will hear.
The sound that was always so dear.
We miss you dear friend of our heart
God's will, not ours, we must part,
But we humbly submit to His will,
And in memory, remember you still.

We'll remember your dear smiling

And your everyday life, full of srace
Remember the kind deeds you have

Unto each, and to every one.
In our hearts there will always be
Dear Wash, loving thoughts of thee.

On January the 1st. the new Child--ren's
Building at Sanatorium will be '
ready to receive its first little folks .
to cure and to build up their resist
ance against tuberculosis. This is"
the first building provided by the
State to care for tuberculous child
ren. It is a three story building and of
most modern, fireproof construction
throughout. It has wards for boys
and girls to accommodate fifty little
patients. Special constructed porches
will enable the children to take heli
otheraov or sun treatment. A school
room with an experienced teacher in
charge will give those able to attend .
school an opportunity to keep up
with their grades while they are cur-,
ing their disease and building up'
their resistance. The entire third
floor is given over to isolation rooms
where children suffering from con
tagious diseases will be treated.
The building is wired for radio
head phones for each bed. Every
thing to facilate the comfort of che
children and to make them satisfied
and happy in their surroundings has
been provided.
To find the little folks who need to
take treatment at the new building
the Extension Department of the San-
atorum has put on a series of clinics
in cooperation with local school and
health authorities. Because of limit
ed clinic facilities only three groups
of- children who are most likely to
be infected with the tubercle bacilli
are examined, xnese tnree groups
are: 1. Children 10 per cent or,
more underweight. 2. Children'
who have symptoms of tuberculosis.
3." Children who have been exposed
to persons with the disease.
If for any reason you are afraid
your children have tuberculosis by all
means see that they are examined by
their family physician, in one of these
clinics or brought down to the San
atorium for examination, and if they s

TRADE AT HOME
AND HELP YOURSELFI
Every dollar you spend at home
gives an added return every time it
turns over in your community, says
the Resdarch Department of tha Nat
ional Association of Farm Equipment
Manufacturers. Few realize that a
community around a town or city
is built up or torn iown by the way
its people, both rural and urban, do
business with each other. Take the
local dealer in hard wars, farm iia
plements, shoes, dry goods, groceries,
or what not, and he can render the
local farmer a greater service than
can the dealer in a town twenty miles
away or in the city 600 miles away
because he turns around and spends
the dollar he gets from the farmer
on food that the farmer raises and
on woolen clothing that cams from
the farmer's sheep. Each local dol
lar spent at home is turned over an J
over to make more businena. ni Ati
deal profits ths farmer who original
ly spent it as well as every man, wo
man and clild in that
Better streets, lights, sewers, schools,
churches, water svstems. town k
celebrations, etc., all help make it
more progressive town and a bettor
community in which to live and trade.
