WAR NEEDS BOOM
RED CROSS SALE
State Antitubeculosis Asso-
Citations to Use Part of Fund
Caring For Tuberculosis

New York, Aug. 27.-Plans have
been completed by the American
Red Cross and the National Associa-
ton for the Study and Prevention of
Tuberculosis for the opening of the
1917 Red Cross Christmas Seal Sale
about November 20 and continuing
up to January l. The campaign viii
seek to raise at least 100000 for
the antituberculosis movement in
the United States, or more than dou-
BILE the returns in any previous year.
The war has made it imperative that
every possible facility for the care of
consumptives be enlarged
In announcing the plans for an in
creased campaign, the National AS
sociation and the-American Red
Cross call attention to the fact that
the examination of 100000 men
subject to the draft, besides thou
sands of others who are enliSting
voluntarily, has already and will con-
tinue to disclose thousands of new
cases of tuberculosis, which have
! hitherto been unsuspected. To pro-
vide facilities for the care of these
cases and to educate the general pub
| lie and the consumptives themselves
| relative to the danger of the spread
of tuberculosis, the American~ Red
Cross and the National Association
call upon the people of the United
| States IOf lIlCTedSeu
| I'VE can avoid the fatal mistake of
France and some of our other allies
only by excluding tuberculosis from
the Army and by providing adequate
care for every case of this disease de-
veloping in this country" says DIR.
Charles ]. Hatfield. executive secre-
| tary of the National Association.
! The money raised from the sale of
| Red Cross Seals will be distributed
| tbrOnCl,nrf tho TTnite1 States and
most of it will remain in the COM
munities where the seals are sold. In
| every state, however, it is planned to
! establish q special war fund, to pro-
vide immediate facilities for dis
! charged recruits and soldiers. These
| funds will be administered through
the state and local antituberculosis
| associations in cooperation with the
military department of the National
Association for the Study and Pre-
vention of tuberculosis.
Four hundred million seals have
| already been printed and 100,O00,O00
more are being prepared The seals
this year are of a new and particu-
! larly attractive design, the center of
which, instead of the familiar Santa
| Claus face, is a Christmas tree snow
laden. These little stickers are now
being distributed in every section of
] the United States and it's territories
from the Philippine Islands to the
| Canal Zone.
! The local machinery for handling
the sale this year is more complete
than ever before. There are now
well organized state associations in
every state in the Union. There are
altogether including state and local
l organizations, 1900 antituberculosis
agencies in the country, all of which
will take part in the sale.

before it reaches the consumer, to
appear at the hearings to give their
testimony in the price controversy.
Farmers Respond-Western Penn
sylvania farmers have responded to
the call for greater crops by in

during the past season and an esti-
mated increase of over 100000
bushels in corn and 100000 bushels
of oats over last year. In sixteen

few exceptions the yields will be
larger in both crops than those of
last year.

ment, which was commended for its
work in cataloging and classifying
information concerning the medical
and allied professional and institu-
tional resources of this State and
organizing systems through which
they may be made available for
emergency use by the Medical De-
partment of the United States
Army. One of the departments first
activities was to compile and index
complete data relating to every
Pennsylvania organization. institu-
ton and profession in the field whose
capacities, operations or personnel
could IN any way be applied to war
time service. Probably the most
complete collection of data in regard
to dentists, veterinarians pharma-
cists and nurses in Pennsylvania that
has ever been collected is now on
hand at the headquarters of the
committee. These lists do not in
clude all the members of these pro-
fessions, however, and every effort

Oil Dictator to Control
Price of All Products

Washington, Aug. 27.-To compel
the oil companies of this country to
produce more oil and gasoline and
to sell II at reduced price to the
government of the United States and
the allies and to consumers of the
United States is the proposal upon
which President Wilson and his ad-
visers are at work.
The food law gives control of pro-
duction and distribution of oil. brt
does not authorize price fixing If
after the coal program has been de-
veloped, 1t proves successful and ac-
ceptable to the public, Congress will
be asked for authority to fix the
price of oil.
