WHAT THEY SAY

   Mrs. O. A. Schrader: Our little boy made a heroic fight for life, but doctors told us they had never known a case like his to get well. Whooping cough had a good deal to do with his death. As he was drawing his last breath he put his arms around my neck and loved me. In the 11 days our boy was in the Bethany hospital he received 50 post cards and 10 bouquets. I want to thank all who remembered him, because every card and flower cheered him.
