Try Suspected Traitors by Courtnlar
(New York Sun).

(Nev York SUM.
This country is at war
It is deSira BILE that the fact should
be impressed upon all citizens of the
United States. It is even more de-
sirable that it be emphasized upon the
consciousness of all its enemies.
For this reason the action of the
navy apartment in turning over to
the department Of justice an officer
accused Of being a spy seems to us
unfortunate and unwise.
The army and the navy should both
stamp out by military methods any
cases Of treason or espionage detected
among their members. 1t is folly to
say that there will be no such cases.
To admit that the insidious methods
of German intrigue will produce spo-
radio cases Of disloyalty among Amer
lean army and navy ofticers--as they
have among those Of England and
Francois no reflection upon the high
LOYALTY patriotism and honor Of the
armed services as a whole.
Detected traitors in the service
should be tried by military tribunals.
In time of war the drumhead court
martial is the court in which such
cases should be heard. More than a
civilian court it acts as a terror to the
evildocr and q deterrent to others
who may be tempted to follow in his
footsteps.

they were first used, but there is
story that their significance is az en-

We must have some fats. And we
must have some starches. Otherwise
the body will be partly starved and
disease germs will thrive in the diff
ferent tissues. This occurs more often
in the lungs than anywhere else, but
there is hardly an organ in the body
that will not under certain con-
ditions, become tuberculous.
1t is hoped that here in America
where we have such variety of
climates and of soil we shall be able
to keep up a general food supply and
shall not be restricted in any of those
things which nature requires. They
will reduce our power to produce
foodstuffs, munitions of war, and all
of those things that are essential for
our living.
One great drawback in fighting the
battle against tuberculosis is that ii
is not recognized early enough for us
to combat it successfully. The State
Health Department of Pennsylvania
is examining about ten thousand peo-
pie a day for this disease and finds
many cases that are sent to our dis
pensaries too late for us to guaran-
tee a cure. Yet we may, even in some
of those cases, arrest the disease and
discharge a patient with enough good
lung tissue left to enable him to lead
a comfortable and useful life.
The recognition of tuberculosis re.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-07-30

well-known germ, we often have a
right to be suspicious of its coming
from want or proper nourishment.
This would seem to be a forerunner
of the true disease of tuberculosis.
This want of nourishment is to be
accounted for in several ways. The
digestive system may be naturally
weak, that is, born weak; it may
have been strong in early life but
abused by the use of alcohol, eating
rapidly when physically or mentally
tired or by gulping food without
proper chewing or mastication.
A plunge bath just after eating
will often arrest digestion. The drink
ing of ice water during a meal, or
iced tea or coffee, will reduce the
temperature of the stomach so that
the natural process of digestion is
interfered with. AS a result the food
is not properly prepared for the or
gans to absorb it. Therefore, it is not
taken up by the blood stream as il
travels through the system of arteries
to build up the different tissues OF
the body
The increase of tuberculosis of late
in Belgium, in France, and other
warning countries is largely due to
the want of the things that nature
demands for building up healthy
bodies We must have some nitrogen
in the form of meat or eggs or beans

after many, many anxious hours, find
any avenue of retreat from this para
mount duty to our whole people and
I must stand for what seems to me
to be clearly an imperative obligation.
Il have not gone into the matter
of the need of this one man on a
train of a designed size. 1t is well
to know that on occasion I have per-
sonally/and by agents found this man
necessary to the safety of trains in
transit. But the situation in this
war period and the relative value of
this man on train or elsewhere dur
ing a war period need not take the
time or attention of state govern
ments. The National Council of De-
fense. created by law, and now in
operation. will, in the exercise of its
prerogatives. undoubtedly call upon
the states to give such men and such
service as the nation needs. They can
call these men to other service if they
so deem it wise. and this great Com
monwealth will promptly and cheer
fully give heed to this or to any call
that may come from the National
Government.
For these reasons this bill is not
approved"

quires a special medical training.
Here in Pennsylvania We have tuber-
culous cases finding their way into
federal service through various paths.
This is because we are confronted
with great necessity to form an
army and navy in a short space of
time and those responsible for this
onerous work are unable to get spe-
cial training in diagnosing this wide
spread disease.
We who are unable to go to the
front because of being too young, or
too old, or physically defective, will
have to take the responsibility of
keeping up the home conditions. We
must see that foodstuffs are produc-
ed for all, not only at home but for
the faithful and brave who have
gone to the front to risk their lives
for the continued freedom of Amer
lea.
Those about to be drafted have a
duty too. They must make it a rule
never to try to deceive the federal
forces engaged in forming the army
and navy. When they come before
them for medical examination they
must be absolutely honest. They must
not tell part of the truth but the
whole truth. Thus they will assist the
examiners in their great, important
and necessarily hurried scientific
work.

Too often people fall victims of
tuberculosis because they do not take
proper care and impaired digestion is
as much a contributing cause as lack
of proper nourishment due to other
reasons, says DR.. Samuel G. Dixon,
the State Commissioner of Health. in
one of his weekly health talks. The
commissioner says that people who
are going to war should take care
that they are in good trim and that
those who remain behind owe it to
those in front to do the same.
