enemy by means OF swift movements
against the Rumanian fanks. There IS
no disposition to underrate the Ru-
manian army, but the belief is eX-
pressed that while the Rumanian troops
are fresh, they lack much of the ey-
perience, and especially the psychic
stability and fortitude necessary TO
meet successfully all the terrors Of
modern warfare. In course of time this
experience may be acquired, some Of
the writers point out, but they say thai
before this point is reached Rumania
may share the fate of Serbia.
The economic advantages which could
be gained by oyerrunning Rumania
rapidly are not overlooked. In the
event OF swift and successful invasion,
Rumana's vast stores of grain and rich
oil wells would be accessible TO the
Central Powers.

Your Duty as a Citizen.
 XIII. How to Prevent Tuberculosis In Your Community.
 It is the duty of every one who has recovered from tuberculosis, or who takes any interest in those sick with this disease, to do all in his power to prevent the further spread of tuber- culosis In his community and to teach others what he has learned as to it's proper prevention and care. The two chief ways in which it's spread may be prevented are, first, through the de- struction of the germ; and second, through the raising of the resisting power of the individual to the disease. In the community these aims can only be carried out satisfactorily by the central authorities, but we all can help to cultivate a strong public sentiment on the subject and thus aid the cause.
 Reporting And Registering Cases.
 The germ cannot be destroyel un- less the authorities know who has the disease and who is spreading it abroad. Therefore, proper registra- tion law is absolutely necessary, as has been proved in New York, where it was first applied and where the op- position of doctors to it, which at first was active, has entirely ceased. Try to get such law in your community. Only as these cases are known and their surroundings and habits studied by visiting nurses and otherwise, can proper measures for their treatment and for the protection of others from the danger be taken.
 Disinfecting Sick Rooms.
 Such measures are the proper dis infection and cleansing of their quar- ters during life, and especially after death. In this way the notorious lung blocks" of many big cities, where for years every new tenant be- came infected from the spit left be- hind by previous tenants, have peen made safe and healthy.
 Sanitary Laws.
 Laws against splitting cannot accom- plish much, but you can help to eul- tiyate proper public sentiment against careless splitting until it is considered so nasty that no man would wsih to indulge in it.
 Hospitals And Other Institutions.
 Further, if we are to prefent the spread of this disease, we must see that the advanced, hopeless, care less poor consumptive, who goes around splitting everywhere and in- fecting his family and his neighbor- hood by his dirty habits, is so taken care of by the city or state, in a prop CT and comfortable institution, that he can be prevented from passing on his trouble to others. For this, prop er hospitals for advanced cases are essential. To find out the cases which should be taken there, as we'll as oth- CT earlier and curable ones, needs i;
The daily progressive-miner., 1916-09-09

first disnensaries for the e&amlnaIQn. and diagnosis of the cases; second, visiting nurses to visit the homes and show the patients how to improve their conditions; third, sanatoria for such of the cases as are curable; fourth, open-air schools to strengthen threatened children and prevent them from developing the trouble, asd many other similar philanthropic fac ilities.
 Every consumptive should be ade- qnately supervised and cared for; eith- CT in his own home, if he has the means, or in dispensary, sanatorium or hospital i'm he has not.
 Raising The Resisting Power of The
 Individual. Proper Housing
 Conditions.
 The chief victims of tuberculosis are the undernourished, ill-fed, weak ened poor, and if we are to eradicate this disease, we must readjust and improve the housing, living and work ing conditions of our working classes and of our very poor. This is mat ter for the state and for our philan- thropists, and the fight against tuber- culosis is in the last analysis philan- thropic and sociological problem rath- CT than a medical one. The poor must be taught to choose healthy homes and to keep them clean when they get them. Our landlords must be taught to supply cheap but satisfactory lodg- ing places, and not the miserable rock cries which yield such good income returns in dollars and such terrible toll in human life.
 Teaching Hygiene.
 The poor must be taught at school and at home to be more cleanly and to use and to like fresh air, soap and water
 Food And Cookery.
 They must have available the best possible food at the cheapest possible price, and their wives must be taught how to cook it decently, for the poor man ruins much of his food by bad cookery, and bad cookery is the foun- dation stone of much sickness, includ- ing tuberculosis.
 School, Home And Industrial Hygiene.
 The children need open-air schools and lunches to build them up to re- sist the conditions to which they are exposed. The fathers and mothers need shorter hours of work and better wages; healthier, better ventilated, less dusty working places Whatever improves the food supply and offers a chance of getting clean and healthful milk, and improves the home and working conditions of the poor, will help to fight the disease.
 Creating Public Sentiment.
 While most of us cannot do much on these lines, we can all of us talk for better conditions and create a strong public sentiment in favor of them, and when we recognize how many human lives will thus be saved yearly, we can see that it will be fully worth while, and, as good citizens, that it is our duty to push every ef- fort in this direction.
 How Can You Help?
 If you would help in the fight, you can do it in several ways. First, by giving as much as you can of your money, time and influence to help the private agencies which are dealing with the tuberculosis problem, such

ARAB REVOLT SPREADS:
RED SEA PORT TAKEN
Dispatch From Cairo Says Turks
Have Lost Town and Fort of
Kunfuda.

LONDON, July 1.-THE revolt against
Turkish rule in Arabia Is spreading.
says Reuter- dispatch from Cairo, and
it Is stated that the grand sheriff of
Mecca. leader of the rebels. has an
ample supply of men, guns and ammu-
milton. Arabian troops under Said
1driss have captured the town and fort
of Kunfuda- The garrison of eight
Turkish officers and 100 men were
taken prisoner. and Idriss' flag now
flies over kunfuda.
kunfuda is a port on the Red sea 200
miles south of Jiddah.
The garrison of Fort Taft is still
holding out, and an attempted sortie
was repulsed with heavy losses by the
Arabs, who captured two guns. The
grand sheriff has ordered the chiefs be-
sieging the fort to hold out until the
garrison surrenders.
1t is understood that Arabs from Me
dina to the outskirts of Damascus are
supporting the grand sheriff. Emir Nuri
Shalam has thrown his support to the
grand sheriff. Emir Shalam some time
ago received many presents from the
Turkish government, but he refused to
join in an attack on the Suez canal.
The Arabian newspaper Mokattana,
the dispatch says, declares that Con-
stantinople is greatly alarmed over the
revolution. The newspaper says a
large expedition has been ordered into
the vilayet of Hedjaz. but the destruc-
ton of the railway prevents the send
ing of any great amount of troops and
munitions.
