such intensity that the minister looked
at him closely. There was a temper
ance bill before parliament last winter
which would have been a blessing to
every part of England. This bill was
defeated through the opposition of
clergymen who owned brewery stocks.

clinching his fist and unconsciously
raising his voice, "our archbishop Of
Canterbury was lately asked what his
views were In regard to the labor
problem that presses for solution in
England. and he answered ~unabashed
that he worked seventeen hours a day

Reginald after a pause. He plainly
told him that a religion which demand

message for this age"
Allan Rutledge changed the subject
again by speaking of his native state
Of Iowa.
The minister saw that the young
man now felt entirely at home with
him and he asked him seriously, "Will
you help US in our work of the Central
church, Mr.. Nelson? We need young
men like you and the time for you to
begin church activity is now"

DiagnOstic Points About Tuberculosis
WILLIAM BRADY, MD

peatedly If necessary, in any patient
with chronic cough is inexcusable.
7. When tubercle bacilli are abb
sent ON repeated examination, yet
definite physical signs Of involve
ment of lung are present, these
possible causes must be borne in
mind: bronchiectasis (dilated bron-
chial tubes), hyperthyroidism or ex-
ophthalmic goitre, influenza, syphi-
lis, tumor
The debilitating conditions above
alluded to as a predisposing factor
in the lighting up Of the latent
tuberculosis which so many of us
unconsciously harbor are crowding
in poorly ventilated living quarters,
working in dark. dusty, unventilated
rooms, inadequate food, alcoholism,
poverty and the sinful wasting of
God-given energies. 1t is more than
probable that POVERTY is the chief
cause of tuberculosis as a disease OF
the masses, and you and are re-
sponsible for poverty in the COM
munity. We don't live the golden
rule.

The present terrific campaign in
Poland seems to have been foretold
early last spring. At that time the
German general staff relied very
strongly on their belief that their
present c@npaign against Russia
would induce the alhes to attempt to
neutralize the effeas of such an on
glaught by the Germans in Poland by
ferocious counter attack in France
and Flanders. This would have re-
suited IN greatly weakening and re-
ducing the forces Of the allies. Such
a mad and premature offensive move
would have made the opportunity for
the Germans to have swept out of
their well defended trenches in a
final and terrible offensive move
ment But the Polish move had no
such effect en- the commanders of
the allied armies in the West. Some
one besides the German general staff
seems to have had some very clearly
defined ideas Of military compaigns.

DIR. Lawrason Brown OF Saranac
Lake, N. Y, is one of the foremost
authorities upon tuberculosis. Among
the diagnostic theses he calls to the
attention Of physicians are these:
/. An appearance OF rudy health
does not exclude tuberculosis.
2. Prolonged and intimate ex-
posure at any time of life, but
especially In childhood, and in home
or workshop or office, is vastly more
important than "unassociated" or
"non-contact" heredity. (And Chris
tian Scientists have quoted this
same authority as repudiating the
idea that tuberculosis Is infectious.)
8. Prolonged contact with tuber-
culosis may lead to infection, but de-
bilitating conditions are necessary
usually to cause this to develop into
clinical Chat is, evident) tuber-
culosis. MANY adults react posi-
lively to the tuberculin test. which
only proves they harbor the bacilli
somewhere in the body, even though
the disease never becomes active,
but remains latent. Still positive
tubereuin reaction in the presence
of definite lung symptoms does not
necessarily prove that the tubercu-
losis is in the lungs.)
4. Fistula, dry pleurisy, a dis
charging ear, enlarged lymph glands
any of these coming on painlessly
are strongly suggestive hints of
tuberculosis.
5. The usual weight Of person
who develops pulmonary tuberculosis
is often ten pounds below the nor
NAL weight for his height and age
or her height and age.
