Federal Control Urged
For tuberculosis.

Participation of the Federal Govern
ment through the United States Public
Health Service in the study and control
of tuberculosis is urged by a resolution
adopted by the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tubercu.
losis made public today.
The National Association proposes
that by act of Congress special divis-
ion of tuberculosis be established in the
United States Public Health Service
with an adequate appropriation. THIS
division should be manned by experts
and should study the tuberculosis prob
lem from every point of view and
should, so far as possible, set up stand
ards for the treatment and prevention
of the disease throughout the country
One of the problems which it is pro-
posed to study first would be that of the
INDECENT migratory consumptive, par
ticularly in the health resorts OF various
parts of the United States, such as
California, New Mexico, Colorado and
Texas. Another problem which it is
proposed should be studied is that re-.
latiug to the causes of tuberculosis. "A
bill introduced by Congressman Kent,
of California, in the House, and by
Senator Norris, of Nebraska, in the
Senate, provides for some of the things
which the National Association asks for
and also for a Federal subsidy to hos
pitfalls caring for nonresident consump-
tives.
Commenting on the resolution, DR..
Charles J. fairfield, Executive Score
tary of the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis,
saws: SIN spite of the fact that tuber-
culos:s is costing the United States from
$500, 900, 600 to 81 600, 900, 900 every year
| in lives lost, the amount of money being
spent annually by all private and public
agencies is not much more than $50,
OOO, 900; and while nationwide cru
SADIE to stamp out tuberculosis has been
organized, we are still ignorant of many
of the factors that produce II. A few
thousand dollars wisely spent in scien-
tific research under Federal supervision
will secure results of incalculable bene-
fit TO this country"

The little chap in blue overalls, hold
ing his homemade Farm Day" flag,
was one of the school children to help
in this new celebration in Hart Coun
ty last September. Perhaps Farm
Day" ought not to be spoken of as a
celebration at all, because 1t is merely
the school children going to school to
a good farmer and his wife for day.
But then 1t was a celebration for the
good neighbors and parents of the
school children, so perhaps 1t was some
thing of a mixture of a celebration and
a going to school that pleased every
body immensely.
Farm Day goes to show that new
things in the life of the rural schools
are springing up everywhere, and the
only difficulty in using them nationally
is, that the change of administration
at Frankfort is putting into office a
new man as Superintendent every four
man he might be, he has no time in
which to develop school matters over
a long period, and so the school and
the children suffer.
On the 10th of September the chill
dren and teachers of 90 schools went
visiting Each school had selected the
best farm and home in the neighbor-
hood to visit for the whole day. Every
body had been notified a week in ad-
vance, so that each child and every
visitor brought a lunch. Instead of

declared, gave the Governor the right
to spend $4,000 IN elections, but put
no limit on the amount his friends
spent, if he Gisclaimed any knowledge
of the expenditure.
Another amendment added reduces
the amount to be expended by can
didate for State Senator from $1,000
to $500.
The bill, as passed by the House,
did not call for statements of eXpendi-
lures in elections for bond issues,
franchise issues and local option cleo
tons. This defect in the bill was
remedied by the amendment of Sena-
tor Frost.

WHY PRINCE
ALBERT WINS
Patented Process is Response
BILE for its international Pop.
uIarity.

Smokers so much appreciate the flavor
and GOODNESS and aroma of Prince AL
bert pipe and cigarette tobacco that they
often marvel that this one brand could
be so different from all others.
The. answer to this question is to be
found on the reverse side of every Prince
Albert package, where you will read;
process Patented July 50th, 1907"
That tells the whole story. Prince AL
bert is made by patented process that
cuts out the bite and parch, which makes
the tobacco so mighty agreeable and sat
isfying to men of every taste OF every
civilized nation on the globe.
Smokers should realize that this pat
ented process cost three years contin-
uous work and study and fortune in
money to perfect. But the result has
proven to be worth all that was expended
upon it, because it has set free men who
believed they never could enjoy pipe
or a makin's cigarette.
Prince Albert makes it possible for
every man to smoke pipe or to roll his
cigarettes. And, no matter how tender
the tongue, Prince Albert cannot bite or
parch. That is cut out by the patented
process, leaving for the smoker only the
Joys of the fragrant tobacco.
1t is fact that since Prince Albert
arrived" just about six years ago, it
has made three men smoke pipes where
one smoked pipe before!

Work on a French Helmet.

Sixty-four distinct operations are nee.
essary in turning out one of the plain
steel helmets worn by French soldiers.
The first step is stamping out discs from
large sheets OF steel. A special machine
is used for this purpose, exerting a
pressure of $50 tons, and capable of cut
ting out 5000 steel discs a day. Each
disc is placed under a shaping machine.
which presses the disc into the form of
helmet with a broad rim. Polishing
and cutting machines remove all irregu-
larities in the helmet, after which holes
are punched in the crown. some for
ventilation purposes, others for fasten-
ing on the regimental crest Each he'll
met is cleaned and dipped in a special
mixture. which makes 1t a dull, incon-
spicuous blush gray. A lining and
leather chin straps are then fastened on.
and the helmet is complete. Since the
French army has been protected with
the helmets the number of deaths due
to wounds in the head has decreased to a
remarkable extent.-Pearson's Weekly.
