Mme. Jusserand Organizes Relief

Washington, September 5.--Madame Jus serand wife of the French ambasss dor, has accepted the direction of the French relief fund being raised throughout the country to relieve distress among the peasantry driven from their homes in the war zones of northern France and west ern Belgium. She is giving her personal attention to organization work here and to forming branches in parts of the coun- try where there are large French ele- ments, notably n New Orleans.
 A number of the contributions received at the French embassy come from points in New England. A French working girl, in forwarding her modest sum, said she wanted to make garments for the wounded and for children of the stricken peasantry. Madame Jusserand is ac- cepting these offers as well as money gladly and is making personal acknowl- odgment in each case. Some. contribu- tions are for considerable sums and Mme. Jusserand is seeing that all funds, gar ments and material go forward rapidly to points where they can meet the most urgent need.

MONTHLY REPORT OF
 DR. GEORGE EAV[S.
More Work Done Than in Any Previous
 Month

pr George Eaves, secretary of the Jef- ferson County Anti-Tuberculosis associa- tion, yesterday madespubllc his report for the month of August. IL was as follows: Herewith 1 submit to the people of Birmingham our monthly report. It shows the greatest amount of work done since the sanatorium existed-1114 hospital days distributed among B patients Of these, one has been in the sanatorium more than two years four were adlaitted during 1913, two have been there more than five months, three more than four months, seven more than two months and IA more than one month Nine were admitted during August From the med ical point of view of this work. the analysis is as follows: Patients dismissed greatly Improved, four. Unimproveds two Left unimproved without permission, two In five cases the disease is progressive in three the situation is doubtful and 2S show improvement. An average of 3l patients a day have been in the associa- tion's care
 Turning to the financial side of these operations. 29 have been on the free list five as part pay, two assisting in the work and nine are paying the expenses involved. The association is finding the increased cost of living and the increased capacity of the sanatorium requires a very greatly increased income. Many of the old friends have responded during the summer but many dues still remain un- paid. The secretary appeals to all who are thankful that they live in a land of peace to show their gratitude by caring for those who are suffering at our own door. Plans are maturing for dedication services early in October. These should secure large and enthusiastic attend ance
 The dispensary report is as follows: Patients examined in dispensary: White, IT; colored, Is; re-examinations, g; total 42; visits made by nurses, 235; 1930 sputum cups We're given out to patients in the district and 2000 paper napkins. Relief was given to two patients and 12O quarts of milk were given away. One patient was sent to the almshouse and nine to the camp. This report is all the more remarkable because for large portion, of August. only one nurse was on duty.
 The association is reaching a stage in its life when it is compelled to obtain more funds for it's free work or else re- fuse the needy patients. One of the sad dest experiences Is that of one of the patients. lady, whose infant child has just died of tubercular trouble, contracted from it's parent This is a finger post pointing to the necessity of increased care and watchfuness over that portion of the population which has children in resi- dence under unhygienic conditions aboundng in the upstairs area of our business district.
 "The association and also the state league are sending out 10 the pastors of the state and city cards for information concerning the extent of tuberculosis in their churches. This is a nation wide movement, and 1t is hoped that the Ala bama pastors will promptly and heartily cooperate"
