THE SURGEON
GENERALS MESSAGE

The end of actual fighting in the
world war will not lessen the neces-
sity for this campaign. Rather, it
will become a greater war emergen-
cy measure than ever. Cessation of
hostilities will center attention on
the return of the victorious Amer
ican forces. On entering the service
the men became subject to army and
navy discipline which, in the control
of venereal diseases within the ranks
is rigid. Prior to rehabilitation, the
tense fighting morale OF the forces
is bound to relax. The men will be
bouyant in spirit and eager to cele-
brate. When mustered out they will
return to those conditions in civilian
life which have been responsible for
veneeral disease in the service. Many
of them will contract it as result.
Unless all cases of venepeal dis
ease have proper treatment during
the period of reconstruction, the
scourge will reach alarming proper
tions. The time from now on is the
most critical of all.

A we'll known woman writer has
Just begun novel at the age OF
eighty-seven years. Since she was
fifty years old, she has produced
more than seventy books OF fic-
ton and many volumes of short
stories and she expects to keep on
turning out novels as long as she
lives.
The world has had numerous in
stances of the sort, but we still per-
sist in looking at advancing age as
something that must render its in
cumbent useless and more or less
helpless.
We have no means of knowing
what sort of novel it is that this
woman, at eighty-seven is writing,
but doubtless if she has produced
more than seventy others, this one
will be readable. A brief survey of

DR.. John w. Duke, Commissioners,
State Board of Health
One OF the lessons OF the war
which may have far-reaching ef-
feet on the American people is the
importance of good health. More
and more they are coming to appre-
ciate that good health is not a mat
ter of luck and chance, but a bene-
fit which is obtainable whenever the
community or the individual is will
ing to pay the price or make the
eftort-and there is no investment
in which the returns are so great
as effort or money expended in
gaining health, whether considered
from the viewpoint OF the individual
or the community.
Health and the Army
Not only were we OF America just
ly proud Of the splendid showing
made by our soldiers, but the verdict
of the world was the same. The pick
of the world has been fighting on
the western front and among the
troops OF all nations there is none
which has attracted so many favor

pearance as our American boys. To
a very great degree this was due to
their superb health and their health
was due to exercise, regular habits.
obedience to rules OF hygienic and
sanitary living. 1t is not so much in
the curing as the preventing OF dis
ease that modern medical science
has made its tremendous progress.
In no field OF health work is this
work of more value than
in fighting tuberculosis. In no di-
rection is it more necessary that
the public be aroused to the neces-
sity for organized action. To a very
large degree the amount OF tubercu-
osis in a given community is di-
rectly dependent upon the effort or
ack OF effort made in fighting 1t.

al law any OF Mr.. Wilson's views,
tends TO lower the prestige OF the
United States in British eyes.
Wilson's IA peace points have been
endorsed by the allied governments
as a basis OF the peace, excepting
the ambiguous naval paragraph. EV-
erybody here realizes that the allies
are bound by this endorsement. That
is why peace terms are not the main
issue OF the British election cam
paign. As TO the British navy, Col.
Roosevelt is perfectly right in his
statement that every Englishman re-
CARDS it as 4 weapon held in trust
for civilization. 1t is equally true
that no British party would ever
dream OF surrendering it or taking
second place in the world while the
league OF nations exists only in
theory, when the league is estab-
lished and has shown that it can be
relied upon to maintain the freedom
of the seas. the situation will be
different. On the other hand, no
serious minded persons in these
islands believe President Wilson ca
pable of such foolhardy policy as
that which has been indicated by
some Of his interpreters.

ALLIES ARE BOUND BY
ENDORSEMENT Of THE
Il Will SON PRINCIPLES
(By K. Walter)

London. Dec. 3.-President Will
sons speech before congress will
clear the air here. 1t was time he
spoke for himself. His interpreters
and the interpreters OF American
opinion who regarded the elections
as a defeat OF everything progress
i've in America have had long in
nings.
English newspaper readers nave
been getting several columns a day
from New York and Washington
under such headings as Criticism OF
Mr.. Wilson" Attacks on Mr.. Will
SON. ever since the American cleo
ton. Middle West papers now be-
ing received here indicate that this
was not merely a Wall Street stunt,
as some of Wilson's English admir-
ers declare, but that the articles re-
fleet a phase OF American opinion
today.
President Wilson is represented as
coming to Europe for various OBJ
iects, one OF them being to pocket
the British navy. Also, we are re-
peatedly warned that the president
will be little more than an envoy
OF the senate, which will roughly
handle any Wilsonian treaties:
These are dangerous subjects.
Take the most dangerous first, the
suggestion that American party poll
tees might upset treaties made at
the peace conference. This threatens
TO undermine confidence in Ameri-
can participation in the conference
What will be the nature OF that con
ference? 1t will not be pariia,,,
ment nor committee. Issues VIII
not be determined by voting
Treaties will not be merely majority
reports. Every treaty affecting the
world peace will be accepted at the
conference only by unanimous
agreement. Every item OF the nm
ished work OF the conference will
have to be passed unanimously in
all matters that concern the whole.
Repudiation of any such treaty
will not be simply reputation OF an
Individual or a party but a rePudla-
ion of the conference. Provision
will probably be made by the con.
ference for the annual revision OF
III the treaties which, taken together,
will form the basis of league of
nations. But this revision will have
o be approached by the conference

the early statges, can almost invar'
iably be cured.
Sanatoria Needed.
1t must be admitted that Oklaho-
ma is far behind many other states
in the work which has been done for
the prevention and cure OF tubercu-
losiS. There is need in this state for
educational work, which will teach
people the precautions which they
can take to protect themselves and
others. There is great need OF sana-
toria in which tubercular cases can
be cared for.
The general public does not real
ize how appalling is the need Tor
properly equipped sanatoria in this
state. In many communities there
is absolutely no provision Tor car
ing for tubercular patients. Even IN
our largest cities this provision IS
inadequate. The result is that too
often they are kept in homes where
they cannot be properly cared Tor
and where they are source OF IN
lection. Cases which under proper
treatment could be cured are thus
allowed to develop, perhaps with Ia
tai results TO the patient, in addition
to spreading injection.
Preventive Measures
These much-needed preventive
measuers will cost money. 1t will be
money well spent. 1t should not be
expected that this organized fight
against tuberculosis will be left TO
the generosity and initiative OF indl-
vduals. 1t is community task and
the state, counties, cities and other
community units should do their
part. Encouraging progress has been
made in arousing public sentiment
in this direction in Oklahoma III
the last two years through the Ell
forts Of the State Board OF Health
an dthe Oklahoma Anti-Tuperculo-
sis Association, aided by public spir-
tied citizens. More remains to be
done. Oklahoma which has the de-
served reputation OF being one OF
.he most progressive states in the
Union cannot afford TO lag behind
n this most important particular.

NO MORE SUGAR RATION.

nounced the abolition of sugar cards on and alter
Dec l. Every housewife may now buy as much
sugar as her grocer is able supply her. and every
grocer is allowed sell his customers all he can get
without keeping tabs on his sales.
This is not a general invitation from the govern
ment for every family to start orgy OF sugar-ln-

presses its expectation that consumers will restrict
their purchases to four pounds apiece per month
and that public eating places will use no more than
four pounds for each 90 meals served This IS the
allowance recently announced to become effective
Dec l. The only change is that the restriction IN
stead of being compulsory is now lett to the con-
science OF the consumer.
There ought to be any difficulty about avoid
ing excess, in view of the real need OF sugar tha'
still exists in mos parts OF the world We got along
irlv we'll with two pounds of sugar month. Surely
we can get along with four, even during the
