must act. He will attend the hearing
before the full board next week and in
December take part in the arguments
before the commission, associated with
Mr.. Atwood. employed by the CONNER
cial interests Of Kansas City and the
southwest.
Representative George White, Of Ne
vada, gave testimony in Chicago and
will go to Washington to give further
information Of value to the commission.
Mr.. White is a lawyer and has been
business man and grain shipper, SO
that he was able to give some valuable
testimony. Mr.. Thorne demonstrated
before the commission" said Mr..
White, that he is master Of the whole
subject of rates. There are very few
lawyers who have given any special
study TO the railroad rate question, eX-
cept those who are employed by the
railroads for that purpose Mr.. Thorne
proved match for the ablest Of the
railroad attorneys. He went much
deeper into the matter, l think, than
did Mr.. Atwood of Kansas City. In my
opinion this hearing before the inter-
state commerce commission is by far
the most important ever held by that
body. 1t means consideration of the
whole subject of rates, not for this year
out for many years, because the COM
mission is trying to determine the true
basis for rate making. The people who
pay the rates and upon whom the
whole burden falls seem to have had
too little interest In the subject. But
happily because of the good work of
such men as MIR. Thorne and Of Cover
nor Stubs the case is not going by de-
fault"

TUBERCULOSIS NEWS.
Preventive Work Now Being Done
Methods Of Raising Funds.
lBy "a. H. kepfOrd. Lecturer.

10y "A. T.. kepfOrd, Lecturer.
Des Moines, Nov. 16.-Many COM
munities are asking the question if
tuberculosis is preventable disease.
why not prevent it? Some cities and
towns are planning for definite work
this fall and winter and it is to be
hoped that before the coming spring,
much will have been accomplished.
1t is well known that any adequate
attempt at suppression, however, must
involve the building of retreats or
sanatoria for the care and treatment
of the tuberculosis patient The con-
sumptive must be cared for. This
method is humane and civil. and while
it does not compel the patient to go
to the retreat or sanatorium, it provides
the place for him, and experience has
demonstrated that the patient is only
too willing to accept the opportunity
to receive treatment and recovery.
The great difficulty which confronts
any community in it's efforts to provide
for the tuberculous class. however, is
lack of funds and how to secure suf-
ticient money to finance such an cn-
dertaking. Various methods have
been proposed and some Of them are
worthy. indeed, but the one which
seems to be the most available is that
of the National Red Cross Christmas
Seals, which have proven their eff
cacy as a money-raisng device in
many Of the cities of the country and
also the towns. The National Red
Cross Society has generously arranged
this year to give to all committees
handling the Christmas seals, S11a per
cent of the receipts, the society to re-
ceive 1917 per cent, and to take back
all unused seals.
What might be suggested is this,
that communities undertaking this
work shall select a committee of the
most influential citizens who will carry
out the plan presented by the Red
Cross Society, properly organizing the
city or town and placing on sale in
public places the seals. These seals
are pasted upon Christmas parcels or
all kinds, and thousands of dollars may
be realized from them. Any commit
tee resiring further information with
reference to the Red Cross Christmas
seals, as we'll as any society or club.

department on tuberculosis, board OF

method of securing funds for any
