ENLIST AID OF CHURCHES
Powerful Weapon Brought to Bear In
the Fight Against Tuber-
cuIosis.

Just how serious problem tubercu-
losis is to the average church, and in
just what ways pastors are called up
on to minister to those suffering from
this disease, is the subject of an in
vestigation which the national asso-
citation for the study and prevention
of tuberculosis is conducting in con-
nection with its plans for tuberculo-
sis day on April 80. Statistics are
being gathered from thousands of
ministers regarding this subject, and
among other figures the number Of
deaths last year from tuberculosis in
the church congregation will be given.
1t Is planned to place these statistics
together with other educational ma
terial, in the hands of every minister
in the country for his use in connec-
ton with tuberculosis day. Millions
of circulars and pamphlets on the pre-
vention of tuberculosis will also be
issued, both from the national office
and from the headquarters of the $50
anti-tuberculosis associations who will
cooperate in the movement.

r. HE insecticide act of 1910 is now
in effect and joint regulations for
its enforcement have been issued by
the secretaries of the treasury, of ag-
riculture and of commerce and labor.
The act forbids the manufacture or
sale in federal territory of adulterated
or mfsbranded insecticides and fungi
cides, especially mentioning Paris
green and lead arsenate. 1t also for
bids interstate shipment of such ar
ticles and this Is it's most important
feature.
Under the regulations samples of in
secticides and fungicides are to be
collected by purchase by agents of
the United States department of agri-
culture and analysed or examined by
such chemist or examiner as the Sec
rotary Of agriculture may designate
If a sample then appears to be adul-
terated or misbranded a private hear
ing before the secretary or his repre-
sentative will be given to the party
from whom the sample was obtained
and to others interested who may ap-
pear personally or by attorney and
may submit oral or written evidence
If it still appears that the act has
been violated the proper United States
attorney will be informed of the facts.
Provision is made for state officials
to cooperate in reporting violations
to the secretary Of agriculture.

EASY CHANGE
When Coffee Is Doing Harm.

A lady writes from the land of cot
ton Of the results of four years use
of the food beverage-hot Postum.
Ever since can remember we had
used coffee three times day. 1t had
q more or less injurious effect upon
us all, and myself suffered almost
death from Indigestion and nervous
ness caused by it.
II know it was that, because when
I would leave it OFF for few days I
would feel better. But 1t was hard to
give it up, even though realized how
harmful it was to me.
AT last found a perfectly easy
way to make the change. Four years
ago abandoned the coffee habit and
began to drink Postum, and I also in
duenced the rest of the family to do
the same. Even the children are al
lowed to drink it freely as they do
water. And it has done US all great
good.

must make first calls on wives of

it we'll nigh impossible for the con-
