AMERICANS FIGHT
GERMS IN ITALY
tuberculosis Experts Sent by
Red Cross viii Use Lat
est Methods.

Included in the unit Of medical and
lay workers which the American Red
Cross has sent to Italy are a number
Of the leading anti-tuberculosls work
ers Of the country, sponsored by the
National tuberculosis Association.
DR.. William Charles White, who heads
the unit, is medical director of the
tuberculosis League of Pittsburgh,
and Dr. Robert Ii. Bishop, the assist
ant director, Is secretary of the Anti
tuberculosis League Of Cleveland as
well as health commissioner Of that
city. DIR. John H. Lowman Of Cleve-
land, a former president Of the Ma
tiOnal Association, is another promi-
nent member of the unit Others are
Or. Robert g. Patterson, secretary of
the Ohio tuberculosis Association
Seymour H. Stone, until recently Sec
rotary OF the Massachusetts Anti-Tu-
berculosls League; DR.. Gertrude Stur-
gis, secretary Of the New York City
Association of Tuberculosis Clinics,
and n. A. Nelson, superintendent Of the
Cincinnati Anti-Tuberculosis League.
These men and women, at the re-
quest of the Italian government will
cooperate with that country in apply
ing the latest approved American
methods for combating the spread of
tuberculosis. Some of them will be
charged with the establishment Of
clinics where people Of all ages may
be examined and treated; others VIII
devote their attention particularly to
preventing tuberculosis among chill
dren, and a third group will develop
health publicity and education.
1t is to the credit Of the anti-tuber-
culosis campaign In America that 1t
has produced specialists Of such inter-
national standing that Italy wishes to
call them into her service temporarily.
But the campaign will be continued
unremittingly here at home. Its sup
port during the ensuing year will be
derived not as heretofore from the
sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals, but
by special appropriation made by the
Red Cross to the National Tuberc'llo-
sis Association. tuberculosis workers
on their side will line up with the He'd
Cross In it's Christmas Roll Call for
universal membership.

EASING THE CARES
OF SOLDIERS FAMILIES

The ten thousand Home Service Sec
tons OF the American Red Cross, in
their work Of looking after the fami-
lies Of the enlisted men, are doing Won
ders for the morale Of the army. Our
fighters are not men who are going 10
worry about themselves, but IL they do
not get cheerful letters from home, or
If anything goes wrong there, they are
going to worry, and that delicate thing
the army men call morale is going TO
be disturbed. 1t Is 10 safeguard
against this and also to prevent need
less suffering and to promote that spir-
It Of neighborlness and kindly aid that
binds each community into an organic
whole that the Home Service was Or
ganiZed.
Over $4,000 workers are serving on
these ten thousand committees, which
reach into every corner Of the country,
however remote. Not q town or viii
lage or crossroads that is not within
reach Of the Red Cross not a wife or
child or mother Of man in service
who cannot claim the ready aid OF the
Red Cross workers.
More than 100000 families OF Ameri-
can soldiers and sailors have been re-
neved Of money troubles, legal difficult
ties and worries of all sorts by the
protecting arm Of the Red Cross. If
the allowances Of allotments under the
War Risk Insurance law do not come
the matter is at once referred to Red
Cross Headquarters, taken up with the
proper government bureau and prompt
ly Strengthened out. If, through the
delay, the family finds itself in need
of money sums are advanced to tide 1t
over until the allotment arrives Dur
ing July over sixty thousand inquiries
of this kind were received, and more
than a third of these were taken clear
through to headquarters before they
could be Strengthened out.

A relief ship was recently sent from
this country to Archansel by tne
American Red Cross with 4,SOo tons
OF drugs, food, soap and other sup
plies for the use OF the Allied SOLDIERS
and needy civilians in that part "
Russia. The vessels cargo was val

carrying 200 tons of similar supplies
furnished by the American Red Cross

ments amounting to over S2,OOOOoo'
Major C. T. Williams Of Baltimore
was in charge Of the party OF thirteen
which accompanied the shipment Irom
this country. He was formerly mem

time a member of the latter com'nls-
sion, but recently attached 10 tne
Army Medical Corps, heads the meul-
cal end Of the Archangel eXpenulliOn'
Drugs and general hospital supplies
constituted the greater part OF the
cargo sent from America.
While the chief concern OF the ex-
pedition was providing comforts 1or
American and Allied fighting men III
chat part of the world, all efforts were
bent to get relief to the Russian SOL
diers who were returned from Ger
man prison camps at the rate OF ABOUT
$4,000 week. The condition OK these
men was pitiable. 1t has been eSu'
mated that 30 per cent OF them were
tubercular.
Tn addition to drugs and food, al
most every imaginable article on the
list of supplies sent over was Tor the

TRIBUTES FROM
SECRETARY BAKER

Following a tour Of South England,
Secretary of War Baker made this
comment on the work done by the
American Red Cross for our boys:
! "These are the things which count.
The American Red Cross is to be con-
graduated ON the way in which 1t Is
looking after our boys. 1t is doing
fine work"
Following his return from France.
Secretary Baker wrote this note to
the American Red Cross in London:
Il left London so shortly after my
dive to Winchester that had no
early opportunity to thank you for
the courtesy OF the touring car which
you placed at my disposal for the "trip.
On this trip to Europe have received
fresh and noteworthy evidence OF the
astonishing efficiency Of the American
Red Cross operations in France and
England. 1 have been delighted to see
how much the American Red Gross
has done to we'd hearts Of the allied
people together"

FOR lTALY'S BABIES.

Motherhood in Italy just now is not
the Joy that it might be, for the poor
women are at their wits ends to clothe
the children already in the family, not
to mention the preparation for the lit
tie newcomers. Perhaps the most ap-
preciated gifts of the American Red
Cross at this time are the layettes
which are being given to the mothers
of Italy. Each layette consists of
twenty-four pieces and includes four
bright colored swathing bands, so dear
to the heart Of the Italian woman.
Twenty layettes a week are needed at
Chioggla alone.

HOG RAISING IN LEE COUNTY
Two weeks ago we had something
to say in regard to Georgia becom-
the foremost hog raising State in
the union. the natural advantages
are such rs to make this possible
And what is true OF the state as to
other states can be true ofLee coun-
~ az to other counties in the state.
We have every natural requirement
TO make hog raising profitable and
safe business. The climate is about
ideal, the winters are not so severe
as to require expensive housing nor
the summer too hot. The fertility
and adaptability of the soil to hog
food crops canno! be rurpassed any
where and equaled in but few sec
tons, corn, peas, potatees, chuias
and other food crops yield abund"
antly and remain in the field until
eaten, eliminating the expense OF
gathering and housing. Grasses, rape
sorenm etc. will furnish feed for the
sulnmer. Watered by the Flint,
Muckalee, Kinehafoonee and other
small creeks make possible the de-
velopement Of the hog industry to
a degree unthought Of at the pres
ent time. No County in tn estate
is better adapted to hog raising than
Lse.

MARK Reports of Cotton, Grain and
 Provisions
NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans. La., Oct. l6.-The price of cotton was depressed thru out the session today by selnng that appeared to De chlelly the expression o1 the pearlsh sentiment aroused Dy the prevalance O1 influenza.
 On the snort Slue mucn was made of the argument that consumption was being materially curtallea by the inability Of manufacturers to run thelr machinery tull time and, also, consioeraDle conslueratlon was gwen reports that cotton goous were eaSler.
 The close showed net losses of 2S to So points. .... ;:' (.
 kecoverles were due principally to the profit taking operations o1 shorts, aitho at one tune fresh buying was caused by reports of internal troubles m Austria hungary and by rumors o1 peace riots III Berlin.
 The weather map was dry and warmer weather was noted in the belt.
 Less anxiety was felt concerning the disturbance in the gulf as It appeared to be veerlng to the west from it's original course, which was toward the heart of the cotton region.
 Cotton closed steady at decline ot 2S to 35 DOintS

CHICAGO GRAIN.

Chicago, Oct. 16.-Corn prices un- derwent a collapse today under re- newal of liquidation and short sell ing.
 The extreme weakness shown was ascribed to efforth as discounting de- velopments in Germany and Austria simultaneously and the arrival of President Wilson's note in those coun- tries.
 Closing quotations were heavy at the bottom level of the day, 5 3-8 to ' IA cents down with November 117 3-4 to 118 and December IA 1-2 to IA 7-8.
 Oats fell 5-8 to 2 IA cent net.
 The outcome in provisions ranged from 50 cents decline to $1 advance. Reports of financial panic in Der lin and revolt in Bohemia gave the first big impetus to the selling of corn.
 After that the market was bomb- arded throughout the session by a flood of bearish rufnors.
 Oats merely reflected the action of corn.
 Lard and ribs went down grade with cereals. Scantines of offerings, however, left firmness of pork unimpaired.

 ''I learned with deep sympathy of the disaster which. has overtaken many women and children. 7 My attitude on such occurrences is well known.

 My regret is increased in this sad case to genuine pain,
