TO INTEREST PHYSICIANS
AND NURSES
National Effort to Improve Teach
ing on Consumption and to
Help Family Doctors

For the purpose of securing
more cooperation from physicians
and nurses in the antituberculosis
campaingn, The National ASsOcia
ton for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis has inaugurated
movement to bring the impor-
tance of this subject to the atten.
ton of these two groups, accord,
ing to an announcement made
from headquarters recently.
Among the first things which
| the Association is trying to do is
to induce the medical colleges and
schools of nursing to give more
instruction, particularly of elm
cal nature, on tuberculosis. An
effort will be made also to reach
the individual practitioners and
nurses by special booklets preDar-
ed for this purpose. The clinical
and other facilities Of the various
organizations affiliated with the
National Association will so far
as possible be made available for
the widest possible us" = training
doctors and nurses in tuberculosis
work.
The object of this campaign, "
says DR.. Charles j. Hatfield, Ex-
ecutive Secretary of the National
Association in making the an
nouncement, els primarily to Sc
cure more accurate and earlier
diagnosis of tuberculosis on the
part of physicians and to show
nurses the great opportunities Of
service in the home care Of con
sumptiveS. We shall also be able
to put the average family physi-
clan in touch with the best meth
ods of treating tuberculosis and
with the most recent literature on
that subject, thereby affording to
the general public increased pro,
lection from this disease. Practi-
cally all the medical colleges and
schools of nursing of the country
have expressed their approval of
our plan and have offered to CO.
operate with us. While the med
ical profession generally has an
selfshly assisted the nationwide
campaign against this disease, we
feel because of its prevalence, tu-
berculosis should be given special
by medical students and
practicing physicians everywhere.
No other single disease demands
so much time and attention from
the general practitioner in medi-
cine. We shall try to make it
easy for any doctor or nurse to
acquire a specialized knowledge
of tuberculosis. "

London-The Russian feet al
tacking the Bosphorous is report
ed to have accomplished the dc.
struction of two Turkish torpedo
boat destroyers. A Saloniki dis
patch says the Russians mined
the entrance to the Bosphorous
while the Turkish feet was cruis-

the Turkish vessels sank when, on
returning, they ran into the mine
field.
Advices have been received in
Berlin that British expedition
ary force which attempted to in
wade German East Africa was de-
feated and driven away with the
loss of 700 men. The British
force is said to have landed from
cruisers and transports. The Ger
man loses are given as fifty-six.
The only previous intimation of a
British expedition to East Africa
was given at the time of the sink
ing of the British steamer FaIaba,
when it was said that among her
passengers were a number of Brit
Iish officers bound for Africa.

tion of proposals by Austria. 1t
generally is understood Austria
has declined to make territorial
concessions satisfactory to Italy

dors at Rome are preparing to

No intimation has been given as
to the exact purpose of the mis-
sion although it is known that
King Constantine, who is broth
er-in-law of Emperor William,
has set himself against the party
which favors intervention by
Greece on the side of the allies.
Conflicting Claims
London - Although the Ger
mans claims on the one hand and
the British and French on the 9TH
er are Numerically opposed re-
garding the outcome of the battle
for Hill No. 60, southeast of Ypres
and near the northern extremity
of the British lines, the facts at
hand indicate that this engage
ment was the most important a.
long the British front since the
battle of Neuve Chapelle and that
it perhaps presages the expected
British activity in F'lan-
ders.
The British, whether or not
they hold all the ground gained,
undoubtedly still dominate a part
of Zanforde ridge, line of hills
southeast of Ypres and
commanding the road from Ypres
to Menin.
The losses in this fighting have
not been announced but dispatch
es reaching London indicate they
must have been considerable ON
both sides. The Germans declare
the British shells containing as
phyxiating gases and the British
reply is that Germany first resort
ed to that means of warfare.
The Russians continue to hold
their firm grip on the main chain
of the Carpathians but news of de-
cisive action is lacking.

DECREASE IN OUTPUT OF
SANDLIME BRICK
European War Interferes with
Building Activities and Checks
Production in 1914

Inc condition OIL the SanQ-llmC
brick industry in the United
States in 1914, according to fgur.
es gathered by the United States
Geological Survey was, on the
whole, not entirely satisfactory tC
the manufacturers, though ir
some states, NOTABLY in Florida
and Indiana considerable pro
gress was made. The year open
ed with good prospects for a pros
porous season, and many opera
tors reported that these prospects
were in a fa;-, --~v to be realized
when conditions arising from thj
European war put a check to
building activities, and from that
time forward business was re-
ported poor.
In 1914 the value of the output
was $1,05S, ,512, a decrease in val
ue of $179,S13 compared with
1913. Nine of the % states re-
porting marketed product in 1914
showed increase and IA showed
decrease in output. These in
creases and decreases were con-
fined to one section of the coun-
try, as Florida, Indiana, South Da-
kota and Wisconsin showed the
principal increase, and California,
the District of Columbia, Massa-
chusetts, Michigan, New York,
Pennsylvania, Texas and Wash
ington the largest decrease,
Michigan continues to be the
leading state, the value Of its
product constituting more than
"a per cent of the total value of
all sand-lime brick in 1914, and
more than 25 per cent Of the to-
tai in 1913. Minnesota was sec
ond in 1914, reporting 11.27 per
cent. Of the total value, and dis
placed New York, which was
third, with 1917 per cent. of the
total value.
The average price per thousand
for common sand-lime brick was
$500 in 1914, compared with
$6.27 in 1913, $6.46 in 1912, and
5000 i'll 1911, For front brick
the average was $9.0S in 1914 and
$10.61 in 1913.
The sand-lime brick industry
has been established in the United
States since 1901, when the first
plant was started at Michigan
City, Ind. Since that time it has
passed through the various stages
of new industry. In the begin
ing it suffered severely from the

Some plants construct
ed under these conditions never
even attempted to market their
product. Then came the natural /
reaction when the number of the
plants and the value of the pro-
duct decreased even more rapidly

that stage, within the last few
years, the industry appears to
have become firmly established
and is now showing a reasonable
growth.
