Ing the plan. also intends TO ask the

the 1915 legislature.
The way to reach many Of the par
ents Is through their children" says
Mr.. Keller. land / think I can do a.
much, II not more good, for the cause
Of anti-tuberculosis In this one week
than the others can do with their
$100. 00O."
Lessons for the entire week will be
drawn up In the ONCE of the superin.
tendent of instruction and 1t 10
planned to have them in the hands of
the teachers at least month before
the time set aside.
The first checking over of the work
OF the doctors and nurses in the
anti-tuberculosis campaign was done
when the special tuberculosis commit
tee Of the state board OF health held
a meeting at Ann Arbor.
Actual clinical work was discontin-
ued last week. because Of the Thanks
giving holiday. although the nurses
finished up their work in Ottawa
county.
The work will be taken up in Grand
Traverse county. Nurses are already
busy there. st. Clair county will be
next invaded.
With three counties. Wexford. Bar
ry and Ottawa. practically completed
the officials who are conducting the
work think they have reached a point
where pretty close to ultimate results
can be guessed at. For this reason
the meeting at Ann Arbor has been
called. DR.. William De Kleine. the
man who has had the actual field
work In charge. is very optimistic.
especially of results in Ottawa county.
THE message OF the mayor of Hol-
land left decided impression upon
the city council and in all probability
Holland will be one of the first cities
in the state to respond to the call for
a full-time health department" said
Doctor De Kleine.
State to Mill 100000 Tons Of Sugar.
Michigan. with ten factories in oper.
alton, leads the IA states engaged in
producing the 1915 output of beet
sugar in this country. but of the three
ststes which will produce over 100..
600 tons this season. ranks third. II
being estimated that Colorado, with
yield of 225,000 tons. will lead the
country in this respect. CALIFORNIA;
an acreage OF 100000 and q probable
acreage is $4,000 and crop Of &c.,.
900 tons. while Michigan. from 49,.
900 acres, will produce 100000 tons.
The 1915 beet sugar campaign ID
well under way throughout the beet
belt extending across the country
from Ohio to California and q salts.
factory season is expected. In IA
states 81 beet sugar factories are in
operation, comp AIRED with so in 1914
and II in 1918. Seven of the IL fac.
tories which closed down last year
following the adoption of the Under.
wood tariff law are operating this
year. due to the high price of sugar
and favorable market conditions re-
sulting from the war.
Based on preliminary acreage and
probable tonnage reports Of beets har-
vested, the total production of these
81 factories is estimated as approx
mately 100000 long tons Compared
with the production of 1914 Of 646,257
tons, this will represent an increase
OF l6 per cent. II the final produc-
ton does reach this figure. 1t will es-
tablish q new high record for beet
sugar production In this country. and
will exceed by nearly 100000 tons the
former record figure of 655.298 tons
produced in 1918.
According to figures of the depart.
ment of agriculture the total plant
ings Of sugar beets amounted to 664,-
300 acres. Due to unfavorable wealth.
or and excessive moisture. It is esti.
mated that little over per cent OF
the area planted was abandoned. leav-
ing about 100000 acres for final har-
vesting. In Its early stages. the prog
ress Of the crop was retarded by abb
normally low temperature in most
parts Of the country.
