STONE COUNTY BOY IN HOSPITAL
WRITES OF LIFE AT THE FRONT
Jarvis Dale Whose Brother Was Killed In Action Three
Years Ago Says Life At the Front Is Not
So Nice After All

There are a bunch of jolly good
fellows in my company, most of
them like myself they don t
care what comes or goes--and
we're all a bunch of pretty wild
fellows.
81 could tell a great deal that
would be of interest to you, out
censorship will not permit. how
ever, | want to assure you that
being at the front isn't any thing
like some might think. It's a
tough place, believe me-"
Jarvis Dale went into service
over two years ago at the same
time that several other Stone
County boys entered, and was in
Company D of the National
Guard when he did service on
the Mexican border.
It will be remembered that
Carson Dale, a twin brother to
Jarvis, went to France about
four years ago and joined the
British army, and it was when
his division was stationed near
Verdun, France, that he was
killed in action, his relatives here
being notified of his death. It
was shortly after this that Jar
Wis, who was at that time work
ing here with his father as a
carpenter, offered his services to
his country, and on several oc-
casions he had expressed his
wishes as hoping to some day
be able to battle against tbs Ger
mans, who were responsible for
the death of his brother.

II have carried out my inten-

Jarvis G. Dale, Stone County
boy who has been in France for
several months doing service
with the American armies, and
whose brother, Carson,
killed three years ago in the
battle of Verdun when he was
with the British forces battling
with the Germans in the Ve1 dun
woods.
The letter received here from
Jarvis was dated Novem ber 10th,
written the day before the armis-
tlce was signed. 1t appears he
was unaware of the near end of
the war. The letter appar-
emily was written while in Red
Cross Hospital, as the stationery
used would indicate.

meant just what I said, I got re.

Washington, D. C.-(SpeciaL) )-Ac;;
cording to a report made to the United
States Public Health Service. the epis
demic of influenza in Spain has al4
ready caused an increase in the prevas
lence and deaths from pulmonary tue
berculosis. A similar association be.
tween influenza and tuberculosis was
recently made by Sir Arthur Newsa
holme, the chief medical officer Of the
English public health service, In his
analysis Of the tuberculosis death rate
in England.
In order that the people Of the Unit7
ed States may profit by the experience
of other countries Surgeon General
Rupert Blue Of the United States Pubs
lie Health Service has just issued a
warning emphasizing the need of spe,,
cial precautions at the present time.
Experience seems to indicate" says
the Surgeon General, that persons
whose resistance has been weakened
by an attack Of Influenza are peculfary
ly susceptible to tuberculosis. With
millions Of its people recently affected
with influenza this country now of.
fers conditions favoring the spread of
tuberculosis"
One Million consumptives In tho
United States.
"Then you consider this serious
menace2" was asked. "In my opinion
1t is, though hasten to add 1t Is dis
tinctly one against which the people
can guard SO far as one can estimate
there are at present about one million
cases OF tuberculosis In the United
StatGa. There Is unfortunately no
complete census available to show exI
actly the number of tuberculosis per-
sons In each state despite the fact that
most Of the states have made the disj
ease reportable. In New York city.
where reporting has been in force for
many years, over $4,000 cases Of tu-
Iberculosis are registered with the De-
partment of Health. Those familiar
with the situation believe that the adj
Idition Of unrecognized and unreported
eases would make the number nearer
10000 The very careful health sur
vey conducted during the past two
years In birmingham, Mass, revealed
200 cases Of tuberculosis IN a popula-
ition Of approximately $4,000. II these
proportions hold true for the United
States as a whole they would indicate
that about one In every hundred per-
sons is tuberculous. Each of these
constitutes a source of danger to be
guarded against"
: What to Do.
: In his statement to the public Bur
igeon General Blue points out how
those who have had influenza should
iprotect themselves against tuberculo-
sis. "All who have recovered from In
fuenza," says the Surgeon General,
i"should have their lungs carefully ex'
,amined by competent physician. In
fact, it is desirable to have several ex-
taminations made a month apart. Such
examinations cannot be made through
the clothing nor can they be carried
out in two or three minutes. If the
lungs are found to be free from tuber-
