first broker. The other took Il good
look at the big fellow, whom he rec
ognized as plunger who had made

he said, "he's an optimist.' "What

In response to an urgent appeal
from the Belgium Relief COM
mission, the American Red Cross,

to collect 5000 tons of used and

Every community, however re-

the much needed garments. The
local chapters of the Red Cross
will see that contributions are
packed and shipped.
The Relief commission has as
surance that the ships conveying
the donated articles will not be

WHAT IS WORSE
THAN WAR?
Consumption -Four Times More
Deadly Than Bombs and
Machine Guns.

Pierre Hamp, a French medical au-
thority, estimates that of the 38,O0O,-
600 people of all ages still living In
France 100000 must die Of tubercu-
losis. The war will have killed about
100000. This means that man with
all of his inventiveness is far less EN-
cient than Nature as man killer.
There have been over 100000 ne Y
cases of consumption in France since
the war began. This Is why, despite
the number of new hospitals, there 10
still not sufficient space available for
tuberculosis cases.
The Question Of Pensions.
Of course first consideration is ac-
corded to the ever popular wounded
men. Therein lies the tragedy of the
consumptive soldier. With the new
cases coming in daily from the
trenches the consumptives are not
as helpless as the wounded men.
When discharged from the army the
severely wounded are allowed a PEN
sion by the government. The con.
sumptives, however, receive no allow.
ance unless they can prove that their
Illness is entirely due to their service
in the army. This is not an easy thing
to do, and consequently comparatively
few consumptives receive govern.
mental assistance.
Until the American Red Cross began
to extend it's aid the plight of most Of
these men was often pitiful. When
discharged from the hospital they are
eventually bring them back to health.
But conditions are hard. They are
usually unable to earn much and so do
not get proper or even Sufficient nour-
ishment Very often they are in ne
condition to look after themselves, still
less to safeguard the health Of 9TH
ers. To meet this difficulty local COM
mittees have been formed to look after
the discharged patients and see that
they do not pass on their disease to
members of their families. The task
is we'll nigh hopeless Even If proper
living quarters are to be had SANTA
ton and hygiene cannot be taught
overnight. They sleep in air tight
rooms. kiss their babies. drink out Of
the same cups and use the same towels
as the rest of their families.
In spite of these appalling difficult
ties, however, the rapid spread of the
disease must-simply must-be check
ed Even to attempt this would be an
impossbility without the tremendous
facilities and aid of the American Red
Cross. No other agency could con-
ceivabIy face, much less hope to &C.
complish, such task.
