One Million Consumptives in the
United States.

"Then YOU considers this serious
menace?' was asked. in my opinion
il is. though l hasten to add it 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
States There is unfortunately no
complete census available to show eX-
actly the number of tuberculOus per-
sons in each state despite the fact that
most OF the states have made the dis
ease reportabe In New York city,
where reporting has been in force for
many years, over 5000 cases of tu-
berculosis are registered with the De
parrment Of Health Those familiar
with the situation believe that the adj
dition of unrecognIZed and unreported
cases would make thee 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-
ton of approximately 5000. If these
proportions hold truesfor the United
STATES as a whole they would indicate
that about one in every hundred per
! sons SIS tuberculOus. Zach of these
constitutes a source OF danger TO be

What to Do.

In his statement to ale public Sur
geon General Blue points out how
those who have had influenza should
protect themselves against tuberculo
sis. "All who have recovered from in
tiuenza,' says the Surgeon General
should have their lungs carefully ex-
amined by competentphysician. In
fact, ii is desirable TO have several ex-
aminations 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 70 be free from tuber-

Brownsville, Tex, Jan. IA, 1918.
Mr.. Hoogenakker, Audubon, Iowa:
Since l last wrote you | have trav-
eled over this section of the country
pretty extensively. The land men
here are after the men from the
north like a school of fish after a
chunk of bacon. l have been over a
radius of twenty five miles except to
the west in Mexico. In order to cross
the Rio Grande river a passport is
necessary, and have not applied for
one yet, and probably will not go
there. l can see across for several
miles in some places. 1t looks just
like this SOIL The people here all
think this town has great future

Gulf Railroad to Mexico City, Central
America and Panama. The Gulf r.

of Houston, to this place, with bridg-
es and tracks across the river to Mat.

three light houses, one at the outer
edge of the pass or channel, one on

is three or four miles from town, the
outer one much farther out. Three
miles seward from town there is an
island running nearly to Corpus
Christi nearly one hundred miles
enclosing a bay from three to ten
miles wide, making great fishing

ons and other vegetables. The corn
was small cared. 1t was planted on
the 1st of August. they raise two
crops of corn each season. The bal
ance is in grass, cactus and brush.
They have several thousand head of
cattle that live the year round with
out any feed but grass. They also
have ten thousand or more small
donkeys on the estate. They sell
these at four and five dollars head
to Mexicans who break them to work
in shafts to a cart. 1t is surprising
what a load they will draw. The
owners of this land live here and
at Point Isabelle. One of them lives
across the street from where we are
located and is reputed to be worth
four million. Much OF their land is
only from two to five feet above sea
level and in many places is covered
with salt water at time. l have
driven over this country with other
land men to a finish. 1t is gradual
ly dawning upon cthem that they
can't sell me any land. Those fell
lows here are much like the life in
surance men in Iowa-if they can't
work you. you cease to be interest
ing to them.
Yours respectfully,
John c. Bonwell.

HOOVER STARTED WITH 1907

Starting out in business life with
S697 tucked away in a pocket of a
neat but threadbare suit, and draw
ing a salary of $4,000 a year as a
mining engineer before he was 20
airy in the world to a man of that
age-those are the high lights of the
early career of Herbert c. Hoover,
food administrator of the United
States government, whose word to-
day touches every breakfast table in
the land.
No golden spoon was lying
around the humble home whe-7
Bert" Hoover was born in West
Branch, Cedar county Ia He was
fed with a conservation spoon in his
infancy. and he knew what food con-
servation was in his boyhood. He
was born in a simple, unassuming
atmosphere. His mother was a Quak
er preacher and his father a black
smith AS is usual with the society
of Friends he was taught the lessons
of Christian humility as applied to
the daily life, and was told of the
dangers of vanity. 1t is no wonder
that Hoover, big man that he is to-
day, still prefers to keep out of the
lime light.
A few years ago, travelling in his
private car Mr.. Hoover returned to
West Branch and visited the little
graveyard under the pine trees
where his father and mother are
buried Only humble headstones
mark their resting place, for it is a
part of the Quaker faith to carry
simplicity even to the grave.
The town has changed since
Herb" Hoover ran barefoot along
the dusty streets and played hide
andseek with other boys in the
moonlight. There are cement side
walks and electric lights and modern
homes. The one-story house in which
Hoover was born is still standing
But how did this great man work
his way through college and face
life's struggles with not quite 81 in
his pocket? The answer is found in
the handwriting of his dead mother:
Herbert has an abundance of fru
gality and energy. Kansas City
Star.

for the time being. 1t will probably
be the sea port in the future for the
products of the Rio Grande valley.
On Christmas day we made a trip
to Point Isabelle, dined for dinner at
restaurant on fish and oysters. AT
ter dinner DR.. Jewell, his wife and
myself made a trip across the bay
to the island. We went in a little
motor boat. The upper deck of the
boat reached nearly TO the TOP of the
pier We stepped off the pier on
top of the boat, and then down steps
to the bottom, where seats were ar
ranged around the inside for about
two thirds of its length. The other
part-the prow-had a low deck I'M
der which baggage was placed if you
had any. The motor was in the CEN
ter of the beat between the seats,
enclosed in box. The sides were
open in order to give a good view
of the bay. There were about a doZ-
en- passengers and we had a nice
pleasant trip going over. The water
was smooth with scarcely a wave.
They called it three miles across but
it must have been more as ii took
us nearly an hour to reach the is
land. One of the party had shot
gun and killed a pelican on the way.
1t WIS ABOUT one O'Clock when we
reached the pier on the island. The
pilot informed us that he would
start hack at three O'Clock unless
the wind came up, and if ii did to
come back as quickly as possible.
The island is about mile wide and
| is composed of sand and shells not
more than fifteen or twenty feet
| high. Some times a great tidal wave
runs clear over it. Several years ago
great wave covered the island and
washed away a large hotel. The peo-
pie in the hotel were obliged to take
refuge in one of the light houses and
! thus escaped death. A catastrophe
of this kind only occurs once in a
! long time. There is now hotel and
a bathing house near the same place.
Our party started at once across the
/ island to the coast. When about
/ half way over the wind began to
raise and when we reached the shore
/ the wind was blowing pretty hard
! from the gulf almost gale. Huge
waves were coming In rolling away
up the beach, breaking into foam
and spray and then ii would run back
] like water in mill race. There
were several other tourists there
J with kodaks taking pictures of the
waves. Others were following the
water back picking up shells, then
running to shore to escape the in
coming waves The wind kept in

Camp Pike. Ark. Jan. 6. 1918
Mr.. Vohn Stewart,
Guthrie Center, Iowa.
Dear Mr.. Stewart:
During my absence from the com
pany l learned with sorrow and re
greet of the death of your son, John
Stewart, who was a member of my
company.
I have learned since that you were
with him when the end came, OF
which fact | was very glad. as
know you were a great comfort to
him to the end.
There was no man in the company
who was looked upon as a better or
more proficient soldier than your
son. He always stood ready to do his
share of the work and more with a
pleasant smile and a willing heart.
His advancement was checked only
by his death. as recommendation
had already been made to promote
him to non-comm sssioned officers
position.
He held the respect and friendship
of every man in the company and his
loss will be felt by all for a long
time to come.
! know he met death bravely and
like good soldier does for knowing
him like we did aMc the principles
for which he stood, he could not
have died otherwise.
We were proud to have had a
man of his calibre with us. and was
a pleasure to the officers and men
to have known him.
On behalf of the officers and men
of Company X, l wish 20 extend our
heartfelt sympathy to you and Mrs.
Stewart.
Yours very truly,
JOHN ii. MARTIN.

HARD COAL SHORT

The man who has a hard coal
stove is in bad fix, unless he loaded
up long ago with hard coal. Those
who run short have to fall back on
coke and that is sometimes hard to
get. 1t looks like there would be a
run back on soft coal stoves and fur
naces next season. as the bituminous
product can be obtained much easier
