CITY TO COOPERATE IN CARE OF
TUBERCULAR SOLDIERS.

A definite pact of cooperation in the
care of soldiers discharged from the
training camps as tuberculous, has just
been made between the Red Cross the
Anti-Tuberculosis committee, and the
City Health Department. The Red Cross
will give aid where it is needed, the
health department will undertake nurs-
ing supervision in the homes, and the
Anti-Tuberculosis committee will extend
it's campaign of education to convince
the authorities of the need for increased
sanatorium facilities, and will also ap-
proach the federal government with sug-
gestions for hospitals and convalescent
homes to be devoted exclusively to the
care of sick soldiers.
There are already over one hundred
discharged tuberculous soldiers in Min
neapolis, and many more may be expect
ed during the coming months. The gov
eminent has as yet made no provision
for their care, although such provision
will doubtless eventually be made. In
the meantime, the community must not
allow these men who were ready to give
their lives for their country, to suffer I'M
aided, and spread infection far and wide,
while their dread disease progresses.
The existing sanatoriums are powerless
to cope with the very serious situation,
according to Paul l.. Benjamin, secretary
of the Anti-Tuberculosis committee. They
all have long civilian waiting-lists. In
creased legislative appropriation to aid
in the fight against the white plague is
urgently needed.

BERLIN NEWS

Berlin and Kensington are to be
benefited by the new automobile mail
service that has just been inaugurated.
The automobile is to leave Danbury
every morning early, and come to
Hartford stopping at several post Of
fees along the route. The towns and
cities which are to be stations on
this rout are Danbury, Waterbury,
Wallingford Meriden, Berlin, Kensing-
ton, New Britain and Hartford.
The car which makes the trip is
in charge of two carriers and is
wired so as to have compartments
for the mails of each town and city
on its route All kinds of mail will be
accepted, including parcel post. The
nostrnasters of the Berlin and Kens-
ington have prescribed certain hours
before which all mails which are to
be handled in this way must be left
at the Office. AS the car is due at
the Berlin post office at about 10:45
every morning, no mails coming into
the Office after 1880 will be sent
north, to Kensington, New Britain
or Hartford. The car is due in the
Kensington office soon after 400 and
all mails to be sent north from this
Office must be posted before HOO.

There is a t&ofold purpose in the
inauguration of this system of mail
delivery The first is to assist the

have increased to such an extent that
some such system of carrying mails

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
CardiO- Degeneration.

If a person has cardio-vascular
degeneration or chronic appendl-
citis attributable to infection at the
base of a molar tooth unskillfully
filled in the root canal by dentist,
would the heart and artery changes
clear up or the appendicitis right
itself after the tooth had been
properly treated or extracted?
H. T. F.
Answer-The eradication of the
septic focus has certainly brought
about complete disappearance of
symptoms and signs of cardio-vas-
cular disease in many cases. Chron-
ic appendicitis is complicated
problem. Even removal of the ap-
pendix often fails to relieve the
symptoms, owing to involvement or
neighboring structures by adhes-
ions. etc. In general, the longer
the septic focus has been ignored
the less hopeful the outlook for re-
lief of the secondary condition.
Busting the Bath of Salts.
What do you think of bathing the
bust with EPSON salts? I have
heard it will reduce a large bust.
Is it harmful? l. J. M.
Answer-Not particularly harm
full The salts will probably ac-
complish the desired results as sat
isfactorily if used to wash down

sun but diet and exercise will re-
duce any part of the body.
