There Is no one thing more uuiyer.-

The work OF the association Is
largely educational. along the line Of
prevention and proper care of open
cases. There Is not at the present
incnt Of cases in The city. and the
public is not nearly aroused to this
menace. Four thousand people die
each year in Virginia OF tuberculosis
This means that one in every eight
OF our people die OF 4 prcventable and
Z durable disease.
tuberculosis is essentially a prob

a continual educational campaig ign
thereby creating public sentiment
which viii eventually demand n force
Of clinics and nurses sufficient TO
handle the tuberculosis situation IN A

done.
The Richmond Antituberculosis AS

PRUNE COMES INTO ITS OWN
fection Worthy of Being Served
to Fighting Men.

In the piping times of peace the
prune was the butt Of cheap wits and
the bane of the boarder. Now when
the acid test of utility and palatabil-
ity is applied the despiscd pruue steps
into the preferred clnss-at least on
the American army bill of fare. 1t
has won its way solely on it's own
merit. The counts in its favor are
food value, tonic value and value as a
confection. It nourishes, stimulates,
and delights.
The surgeon general of the army
himself testifies to the loyal end help
full support of the once belittlcd fruit.
He has added his Recommendation TO
the approving report Of the subsist-
ence division. This report tells us that
out of the 1917 crop 20,000,000 pounds
of prunes have been consumed by Our
fighting men. Based on size ffty-nve.
which is the trade designation Of the
average prune, the total number con-
sumed would be LOO, 100000. Placed
side by side it is quite possible that
this total of prunes wouldn't reach
from the American trenches TO Berlin
but each prune, no doust, Is doing Its
best to help the Yankee fighters cover
the distance.
There would be @ sort of poetical
! justice in the circumstance If the
cheerful idiot and the other boarders
whose table wit fingered longest about
1.-The patient prune could meet it ovel
there in Flanders and in Picardy and
find. it honored and extolled as the
food of fighting men.

COOPERATION IN PALESTINE
Three Thousand Jews Have Success
fully Combined to Fight the
High Cost of Living.

It is, therefore, with the keenest
pleasure that I hear of the success Of
an experiment on a small scale un-
der war conditions in Palestine, Nor
man Hangood writes in Leslie's. Since
1914 scarcity, disease, deprecated
currency, have combined to reduce the
Jewish workers almost to starvation.
During the war 4 small group decided
to take the most Immediate and effec-
tive step. About three years ago 45O
workers formed a cooperative So
ciaty in order 10 fight against the
rise In prices. Each worker contrib
uted &c francs and with this capital
Of $500 francs the society began to
make It's purchases. AS n result the
members of the society were able to
purchase four times cheaper than the
ordinary public. This cooperation So
cIety, "Mashbir," embraces at pres
ent about 5000 persons and has a
budget of $4,000 francs. Their first
year of business showed a profit. Dur
ing the second year robbery and
plunder by The Turks changed this
profit into q loss. The third year has
now shown them again paying their
way. This society includes not only
workmen, but also teachers and clerks.
