THE GREAT WHITE PLAGUE
Women Enlisted Becoming ActlVeis
Enlisted in the Fight Against Con-
SUMPTION.

OthAAlSt1oh'
(MonrOe JOurnal.)
| Of all the useful channels into which
the efforts of noble women have been
turned in late Years, none promises
more lasting good to suffering human
ity than that of the fight against con
sumption, which is now being enter
ed upon with great enthusiasm. a
statement issued by the National
f, Association for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis says that already
one million women, representing cities,
towns, villages and isolated rural sec
tons, are enlisted in the campaign.
With al organization established in
every State of the country, under the
direction of the General Federation Of
Women's Clubs. and with associated
clubs in Alaska, the Hawaiian Islands,
Porto Rico and the Canal! Zone. the
women of the country have entered a
systematic crusade to carry the mes
sage of the prevention and cure OF
tuberculosis into every American
home. A large number Of women oc-
cupying prominent positions in society
or on the stage, are taking an active
interest in the anti-tuberculOsiS cam
paign. Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt has re-
Gently given a million dollars for SAM

~berculOSiS Institute at a cost Of about

Huntington and Mrs. Borde Harri-
man have given largely to the con-
sumption fight. IN Porto Rico Mrs.
Albert Norton Wood, wife of a prom
inent army officer. stationed at San
Juan. has stirred the entire island
through the anti-tuberculosis crusade
she i~naugurated. Nine. Emma Calve
is a most enthusiastic worker. and IS
given largely of her talent and mon y
for the relief of tuberculosis sufferers
and Miss Olga EetnersOle has even
lectured before the public on tuber-
culCSiS.
And the fight is not only being ar
ried on by women organized in clubs
and by the wealthy women, but by the
working women in h general labor
movement against tuberculosis. and by
the women who are battling and in
hand with the disease in connection
with the religious ald philanthrOpic
organizations of the &C untrE. The Spe-
cial tuberculosis muse, too, is q recent
addition to the fighting force enlisted
against consumption, and almost all of
these are women Nc city campaign
is complete today without such a
nurse, and on this account hundreds of
them are deVoting their lives in I'M
selfish service for the relief of human
s~ufferingS.
And the country is sure to be

to the great import of this undertake

it is not too much to hope that in a

Of the people-and of these the one IS
the very antithesis of the other. Just
as the former is false, cruel, s%ervile,
arrogant and unjust, so is the latter

Hospitality, indeed, is the Turk S
greatest virtue. Should you travel

tells, a warm welcome in every mouse.
The chief men of the village will dis
pute with each other for the honor of
being YOUR host, and he who has won
that privilege is envied by his neigh
bors. If not rich enough to afford q
'moussafir adassi,' or guest-chamber,
he will place his own room at your
disposal but wherever you may lodge,
you will always find in large Turkish
letter this traditional inscription:
Her is received the Stranger. In
the name Of God! the Compassionate!
the Merciful.'
Nor are introductions necessary.
Whatever you, creed or condition.,
your ran or your country, whether
Christian or MOslem, wealthy or poor,
YOU will be lodged and entertained as
long as you choose to remain. While
a guest YOU are not only not llOWed
to expend a penny, but are not even
permitted to offer & tip to the ser
wants, for this would be considered a
great insult to your hOst. Nor must
it be supposed that this is true only
of the rich or w~ell-to-do: it is char
acteristic also Of h poorest peasants.
They do not wait simply to receive
YOU; they will go out to find you. In

kept at the public expense.

THAT AUTOMOBILE ROUTE
Mr.. Neucomb Advocates the Line
Through Capital-Step> Should BE
Taken for COncertel Actions.

To the Editor: The people of South
ern Pines have been reading with
much interest the letters and editorial
comments in your columns aprOpos
Of the proposed automobile road from
New York to Atlanta. as suggested by
the New York Herald and the Atlanta
Journal.
The town is fully awake to the i'm
portance of the undertaking and is
ready and anxious at all times to give
support and assistance to the work.
Peing in the line Of the sO-called Capt.
tai Route. Southern Pines. is of course,
particularly DESTROYS of seeing thai
route adopted, but if it Shrould develop
on subsequent examination that any
Of the other projected curse is more
desirable. you may be sure that her
people will ignore any selfish purposes
and unite with the majority to work
for the common Weal.
Personally, the writer is of the
opinion that the route advocated by
your paper is. by all means the most
desirable, if for no other reason than
that it would embrace the capitals of
the various States through which it
would pass. AS to its feasibility, Mr..
Tufts. of P~lnehurst. has demonstrated
that to his own satisfaction. and is
prepared to defend his statements with
facts CLEANED from a personal inspec-
ton OF the roads along the line as far
south as Camden. S. c. This route is
fortunate TO have tor q such
a man as Mr.. Tufts. To be sure he is
actuated to a degree in the matter by
business motives. out everyone who
knows him Intimately or by reputation
knows that he never goes into any
thing, however promising it may APP
pear from a business standpoint. until
he is satisfied in his own mind that it
is for the greatest good of the greatest
number: but having convinced him
self hat he is right. he generally gets
what he goes after. In 1907 the people
of Southern Pines at his suggestion
united with him to build a first class
clay road from here to Pinehurst. the
cost Of Southern Pines half being de-
frayed by public subscription, Mr..
Tufts undertaking to shape and roll
the entire route at his own expense.
This road Immediately became an OBJ
lect lesson for the surrounding terri
tory, and it's completion marked the
