PREACH GOSPEL OF HEALTH
Plan to Have One Sermon on Sunday,
April "a, Devoted to Scourge
of tuberculosis.

Following campaigns against con-
sumption that have been carried on in
the churches of hundreds of cities, and
sermons on tuberculosis that have
been preached before thousands of con-
gregations during the past year, a
movement has been started by the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis to estab-
lish permanent tuberculosis Sunday,
on which il is hoped that every one of
the 100000 church-gcers in the
United States will hear rhe gospel of
health. This year the Sunday selected
is April "a. 1t is planned that on April
"a tuberculosis sermons shall be
preached in all the churches of the
country. Literature will be distributed
to members of the congregations, and
in every way an effort will be made to
teach that tuberculosis is dangerous
disease and that it can be prevented
and cured.
Clergymen who desire to obtain adj
ditional information in regard to tn.
berculosis will be able to secure litera-
ture from state and local anti-tubercu-
losis associations and boards of health,
as we'll as from the national asso-
citation.

There are certain indications at
Philadelphia that the general strike
will disappear unless the labor un-

drag to their support influences that
have remained aloof.
Men who left their jobs in the first

The number of men on strike is less
by thousands than it was few days
ago.
Summing up the situation as ii APP

back upon their own resources, and
these resources have been weaken

canvassing among employers, an
nounced Saturday that the employees
OF 60 mills out of 50 would return
TO work Monday and Tuesday. In
many of these mills, it is said, men
have already returned.
The transit company reports that
carmen have applied for reinstate-
ment, and that more than 300 have
been put at work Nearly 200 union
foundrymen in the northeastern part
of the city, employees of four foundries,
have voted to go to work Monday.
