Tnany of whom were speMficaJly successful students of problems relating to tuberculosis . The national association grown in .tie and orgranizd functional capacity each year. Tuh-erculosis conventions are also organized into departments such as Child Welfare. Nurses. Executive. Soclalogrica!, Clinical and Pathological. Health Crusade, which Is now receiving more and more skillful and serious attention is largely school child welfare work. Teaching children how to live, how to eat. slep. play. work, study and how to keep clean, all of which involves disease prevention; and disease prevention is the method of least resistance to avoiding sickness misery, pain, so far aa it is avoidable, and lncreaslns normal, pleasurable conditions and activities. Child welfare; work Is being conducted along lines deisnel to please children, make the work agTeeable and attractive. Often these Worifi are told in story form. Children like it. Problems cf what to do with children in poor, unclean, dark, not ventilated nomes Involves serious economic and social problems often quite perplexing. But such place rapidly propagate tubercle bacilli that readily spread and infect.

Sin- the organization of the National Tuberculosis Association they hare assisted in establishing more than 1x hundred sanitoriums. This also is regarded as highly important because, first tuberculosis is Infectious and people infected should be isolated to prevent contact and giving it to other people.

These methods are employed in a sympathetic atmosphere which tends to cheer patients and help them to help themselves. , Building Santtoria Is eo Important Rhat the National Tuberculosis Assorfr'ciation has established an Institutional department and employed an efficient building expert.

B. The National Tuberculosis Association co-operates inllmaety with health purpose movements. Notably the National Bureau of Health, as well as State Health Bureaus, Red Cross, etc . There are several serious discussions about th problem of T. B. ex-service men. Also vocational training for arrested tuberculous patients. The Tuberculosis Association as well es tfte. Bureau of Health at "Washington Is giving srtous study to these needy men also. Experience and modern methods of psychology, pedagogy vocational training. with sympathetic opportunity is elevating these subjects to a plane far above previous conditions . During many years experiments aiming at finding serum that would conquer tubercle-bacilli has resulted in a small degree of success. Notwithstanding these many failures, medical men are still hopeful and strenuously striving. In the. clinical and pathological departments, extensive reviews of these experiments were given. There are sewral sanataria at which learned man courageously persist and it is such persistency with intelligent direction that finally succeeds. One of the possible avenues of final conquest of tubercle bacilli seems to linger here. To laymen not familiar with scientific methods, these pro-longed trails seem futile. Not so, these learned men would not continue along these lines for years if final suc cess did not seem probable! Our gratitude for successful science. Reai benefactor of mankind. What of tubercle bacilli is sewage. Tes. that subject was ably treated by Dr. Arthur T. Laird of Duluth. Tour secretary having been at Nopemlng Sanltorium (Duluth) he may say that Nopemlng is located at Mesaba Mountains, where a scientific sept- system is installed. Chemical analysis showed, nevertheless, that tubrc!e bacilli existed in the liquid after having passed the septic system, whereupon chlorine was applied and bacilli destroyed. That requirement ma, exist here. Ex-service men In T. B. tanltorla. was a subject earnestly treated by Dr. David R. Lyman. E. National T. P. Prsident): Dr. Pettit of Ottawa. Ill, a widely experienced sanltorium manager and others. Many of the problems here involved are highly perplexing and because some of those men resist direction by the manager of the sanltorium. Dr. Pettit found it necessary for the welfare of other patients to dismiss a few ex-soldiers whose lives he could have saved. Some people are morbidly sensitive about trivial matters and do not permit application of remedy. One man specifically in Lake county died because he could not conform to requirements of an excellent Vnlted States government sanitorium after Gary Red Crosa and. Lake County ,T. B. Society suceeded in getting opportunity for him. War Risk Insurance was also liberally discussed. Possibilities of flagrant abuse of these facilities Invited earnest consideration. that injured men. men injured during the war. should be compensated liberally was agreed. There are others who claim without having been injured during service, seems to be the opinion of some medical mn . The late Col. F. W. Ga'.bralth was on the prograjn to discuss "What th Ex-service Mn and

Women Need to Meet Uheir Reasonable. Expectations." There were eight papers on various features relating to ex-service men. Each paper was ably written and in a calm scholarly way was liberally discussed. Medicals schools. in the UnneU States do not adequately teach tubercle bacilli subjects and earnest efforts will be made to remedy that detect. That is "one reason why average doctors have so little information about tuberculosis. X-ray pictures were u-ed liberally vyA under certain conditions they are regarded as clearly instructive. Dr. Simon Flexner of Rockefeller Institute presided at two meetings of pathological section. Miiw Mary Meyers, R. N. Indianapolis, presided at one meeting of the Nurse Section. Modern Health Crusade was unoer direction of Charles M. DeForest and Miss M. Grace Osborne, each from the national office. Mal-nutrition and tuberculosis (with lantern slides) was discussed by Dr. W.

A Fund of Information That You Should Have r ISRAELI, who for six years was prime minister of England, said: "It has been my observation that the most successful man in any undertaking, is the man who has the most infonnatibn." It doesn't requite any particular information just to go out and buy something. But to buy the best of that something at a price that is satisfactory to you that is a successful purchase. And- to make successful purchases you must have information. Advertising gives you just that kind of information. It tells you where to go in order to get the best of anything you want at a fair price. That is why it is a paying proposition for the man or woman who handles a pocketbook to study the advertisements in this newspaper regularly every day. To tKose who use it properly, newspaper advertising is a source of economy and satisfaction that never runs 'dry. It is a watch-dog of dollars a guarantee of satisfaction.
