Checking tuberculosis

The Red Cross is conducting a work against tu-
berculoss in France which is unparalleled in the
history of the world France has suffered terribly
from tuberculosis, brought on by so many Of her
people living in dugouts and other unwholesome
conditions. Tuberculosis has developed in the
trenches too, and the troops are sent back carry
ing the germs of this dread disease.
In cooperation with the Rockefeller Founda-
tion the Red Cross is conducting a campaign of
education on the care and prevention of this dis
ease. Facilities have been provided to care for
bad cases in sanatoriums, and plan set up which
will lead to the establishment of a great system Of
300 dspensaries throughout France, with visiting
nurses attached.
Four hospitals for tubercular French soldiers
are maintained entirely by the Red Cross At
Malabray there is 135-acre farm in temporary
custody of the American Red Cross, where model
village with accommodations for 400 families is
being constructed.
The Red Cross is assisting the French medical
authorities in rebuilding and reorganizing other
hospitals, and is aiding 96 French hospitals de-
voted to tuberculosis with supplies and funds. Am
broise Rendii, Vice-Presdent of the Paris Munich
pal Council says of this work:
"The Americans have fought the good fight
against tuberculosis because they have pursued
strategic campaign against enemy they know
and rightly fear. They have taken the necessary
measures. You know them well for practical
people; they will not reproach us if say this Of
them in the temple of their charity.
'I have seen the program of the social activities
the Americans would undertake in our country in
the name of the Red Cross. They have drawn up
a marvellous program that takes the child from
his birth and even before his BIRTH since the
mother also is cared for, and continues the effort
all along the line of years. Such is the plan and
nothing finer has ever been conceived"

The Canteen System

An extraordinary canteen service is being carried
on with the French, with the Belgans. with the
Italians, and with the British, by the Red Cross
abroad. There are rolling canteens which are
operating right up in the trenches, where the SOL
diers get hot drinks as they go in and when they
come out These canteens are frequently operate
ed under shell fire and gas, the Red Cross worh
ers often working in gas masks.
Before the days of Red Cross help, French
soldier would come back from the trenches on His
seven days leave covered with vermin-officers
antall-and 60 to junction point for cars to take
them home. Those junction points are equipped
for rs people, yet at times there were 1000 peo-
pie waiting, sometimes twenty-four, sometimes
forty-eight hours. They slept on the ground and

They brought home vermin which spread dis

Work i'm Other

What the Red Cross is doing for France she is do
ing, too, for the part of Belgium not held by the
Germans, and to very large degree for Italy. The
story of how the American Red Cross rushed to
the relief of Italy has already been told. At the
time of the Italian disaster last fall propaganda
was under way in Italy to the effect that America
was not really in the war, we had not yet then
declared war on Austria; that we were not well
disposed toward Italy; that America had done

The Red Cross has changed this In conjunc-
ton with the French Government it is now feed
ing--not giving drinks and sandwiches Civ
ing hot meals to million French soldiers every
month. There are great recreation halls where
they sit and dine and make merry. There are big
barracks with hunks along the walls, there are
shower baths and disnfecting machinery so that
the mems clothes, while they are bathing, are run
through and the vermn killed
At first these French soldiers were so glad that
they did not use the hunks but sat and talked and
sang and wondered at what America was doing
for them. prominent French general officer
recently wrote to Major Murphy:
"The only thing that matters in this war is to
beat the Boche and to accomplish this the all inn
portant factor is the morale of the men, This you
have done much to uphold and the atmosphere
you create is more valuable than even you can
realize.
"Your work is that of maintaining the morale of
the Americans and the French and the Allies, and
| wish to thank you in our name and that of Cen
eral Petain. Your canteens have been well run
and kept up to high standard. Let the men know
that they are being cared for not as men only but
as friends that makes them prefer your canteens
to the wine shops. The morale has never been
better than now. need not tell you feel strong
ly on this subject, and am talking to you as man
to man. / am speaking not only for myself but
for General Petain. He feels as do toward you
and your work, and he endorses every word have
said"

Other Forms of Relief

1t is difficult to give any adequate picture of the
whole Red Cross program in France.
There is the whole vast program of relief for the
refugees and reparies, for those driven before the
invader, uprooted from their homes, and for those
returned to France and Belgium broken and bent
after being subject to the sway Of the German for
the last few years
There is the medical and surgical supply service
which the Red Cross is giving to three thou
sand French military hospitals, the supplies for
the most part produced by American women.
There is the Red Cross children's program of
caring for needy and destitute children, the re-
ducton of infant mortality. There is the Red Cross
factory for the manufacture of artificial limbs.
There is the big program of re-education for the
mutilated soldier to teach him means of self
support with its accompanying benefit to France.
The Oklahoma City times. [volume] (Oklahoma City, Okla.) 1908-1984, 1918-05-17

The plainest dictates of humanity, as well as
obligations Of honor to brave allies demanded
that the American Red Cross, financed by the lib
erality and spirit of the American people, should
do all in its power to alleviate the sufferings and
support the morale of the soldiers and people who
had been suffering so long in struggle for that
liberty which is the foundation stone of our ar

Our Red Cross and Our Allies

On recent trip to America, Major Murphy formerly Red
Cross Commissioner for Europe, said:
This is of nations, not Of armies There not

France in Italy that is not factor in this war tell
you that if you should go, have gone about those
ruined districts in France and had seen little children

little boys coming down the road-tte bits of tots

latng against the winter had seen old men and old wom
working in the fields until it was so dark that as you
looked you could just make those vague forms gather
ing in the crops for France you would realize what this
war is, what this war means
1T not the armies of France that are the essential
thing to France in this war nor the armies of England
of the other countries. Those armies will do their
part and do it to finish if they are supported by the
people behind them.
"The great crying need in Europe today is to build up
the spirit and keep up the spirit Of the people behind the
lines and it is that great work which the Red Cross has
performed and which has been up the recent entrance

FARM MACHINERY GREAT AID
How Ore Farmer by Fully UTILIZING
His Implements Did the Work
of Two Men.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture
Farm machinery makes 1t possible In
some places and at some times for one
man to do the work that two did be-
fore.
"0n a recent trip through the corn
belt states / saw on one farm two big
strong men, each with a team Of
horses and a single mold-board pillow,
following each other around the field"
said G. I. Christie, assistant to the
secretary Of agriculture, who is super
vising the departments farm labor ac-
tivities under the direction of Assist
ant Secretary Ousley. ION an adjoin-
ing farm a boy not more than seven
teen years old was driving four big
horses hitched to a two-furrow pillow
and doing work equal to If not great
er than that accomplished by the two
men.
con another farm there were two
men on one wagon spreading manure
with forks, while close by another
farmer with three horses and a ma
nure spreader was accomplishing a
larger amount of work In a more eff
cient way.
I'm a similar way the double cut
away harrow, the wide cutter bar Of
the mower and the binder, the sheaf
carrier on the grain harvester the
milking machine, the farni tractor,
haying tools, and other machinery are
making 1t possible for farmers to han

KEEP FARM RECORDS
TO SHOW ACTIVITIES
Cash Accounts, Properly Assem-
bIed, Are of Importance.
Often Overlooked Projects Produce
Nearly as Much Money as obvi-
ousIy important Carefully
Avoid Sudden Changes.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
When record is kept of all the
money taken in and spent on the farm,
at the close of the business year the
cash accounts can be assembled under
headings that will show exactly what
branch of the farm activities produced
the dollars and what each required in
the way of cash expenditure to keep
going. Some farmers are apt to judge
of the importance of the various farm
projects by the time it takes to put
them through. To such, a complete
cash record for year, properly as
sembled, will be an eye-opener. Often
seemingly unimportant things on the
farm, such as the flock of poultry, pro-
duce nearly as much net cash, as the
obviously important. The years cash
summary helps the farmer to get
better perspective of these things.
In using such records as an aid to
future plans, Easty conclusions should
not be drawn, nor should snap judg-
ments be taken. The fact that the
hogs or the corn crop brought in the
most net money last year is no reason
for assuming that all the activities of
the farm henceforth should be devoted
to the sole purpose of hog or corn
raising. 1t may be that the keeping
of cows was partly responsible for
making the hogs so productive of net
cash, or that the growing of wheat,
clover, or other crops in rotation with
corn made the latter crop much more
profitable than it would have been if
grown alone. Similar conditions will
be met with on all farms. and there
fore. no sudden changes should be
made on the basis of what few ac-
counts may show.
On the other hand, single years
figures will occasionally indicate that
something is radically wrong; will
show where the net expenses of one
farm enterprise is great drain on the
net cash returns mGz1e by the others.
All phases of such an enterprise
should be carefully studied and I'M
less the losses can be assigned TO
some reason, such as a bad season,
temporarily adverse market condi-
tons, epidemics, or similar unusual
conditions, it may often be dropped
with profit.
Comparison of the annual figures
year by year is mother source of profit
from the use of accounts, since by
such comparison a true perspective
and insight into the makeup of the
business is gained.

PRESIDENT SAYS FARMERS DO

Arbitrary Basis IS Not Fair to Pro-

Washington, July Is. - President
Wilson vetoed on Friday the annual
agricultural appropriation bill. con-
tanning an amendment increasing the
price of wheat to $2.40 per bushel.
Members of congress from wheat-grow-
ing states will make a fight TO
pass the bill over the veto, but indi-
cations are that the wheat-price pro-
visions will be eliminated. The presi-
dents message said the increase in
the price of wheat would add 81 to
the cost of a barrel of flour, and
would add 1887, 100000 to the price of
the 00,000-bushel crop of 1918
wheat.

UTILIZING ALL GULL FRUIT
New England Grower Never Loses
Anything From His Fifty-Aere
Tract--SurpIus Ia Used.

It costs as much to grow Gull as
frst-grade apples. and II they are not
sold above the cost of production
there is loss. In speaking of this
subject recently, Prof w. w. Cheno-
weth of Massachusetts told of a large
New England grower who never loses
anything from his so acres of small
fruits. He employs a woman and two
or three girls to make the surplus into
jam, jelly, etc. which sells at good
price.
About one-third OF the Gpple crop Of
many states is classed as cider ap-
pies, which are generally worth about
II cents per busheI. Only part Of
these are utilized by local cider mills:
much goes to waste. Apples are
worth but 10 cents per bushel to feed
stock. while the pomace from bushel
of apples Is worth 4 cents to feed
dairy cows.
The Gull apples can be converted
into cider or vinegar, boiled cider,
boiled strip, apple Jelly, apple butter.
Jelly base or dried apples.
