ANTITUBERCULOSIS WORK
Present Conditions in Europe

DIR. Livingston Farrand, director of
the American commission for the
prevention of tuberculosis in France,
recently said: "In the four years
since the war began the total number
of deaths from tuberculosis among
the civilian population and in the ar
mics of all countries engaged has at
least appropriated the total number
of soldiers killed in battle. How
widespread the prevalence of tubercu-
losis is has been revealed to America
more extensively than ever before as
the result of the physical examina-
tons made by the draft boards and
army physicians. Approximately 49,
900 men, it would apepar from the
statistics available, were rejected in
the first draft as tuberculous. OF
the men who passed the draft boards
another 10000 following more
searching examination by medical
officers OF the army were subse-
quently discharged on account of tu-
berculosis, giving combined total Of
| $4,000.
"If may make an appeal to Amer
lea again or the eve Of sailing fol-
France it is this, that the people Of
America throw themselves into the
winning of the war against tubercu
losis with the same zeal and efficiency
with which they have thrown them
selves into the winning of the wal
against the kaiser. To make or
country safe for democracy we mus
make 1T healthy"

The soothing taste of tobacco helps
the boys to forget their pain and alI'
their troubles go up In smoke. Tobacco
is the greatest essential for the COM

from boys "over there it appears that
the Yankee cannot smoke ''the detest-
able stuff that the French smoke and
American tobacco is received with

ITALIAN WOMEN
War Conditions Make New Fields OF
Work


The change caused by the war in
the condition of women has been
more profound and deeply felt in
Italy than in any other countries, like
England and France, where women
had been for many years employed In
various useful pursuits.
In Italy the women of the middle
class, with rare exceptions, remained
generally at home. Those of the
lower-middle class, when they work
ed, chose generally the career Of
school teachers. A consequence Of
this was that the women had no eco
nomic independence, and, if portion
less and remaining unmarried, con-
tinued to stay at home or with some
married brother or sister.
The war has changed all this, but
it must be said that the ground had
been prepared by an ardent, if little
group of Italian women who fol
years had been trying to fight the
prejudice that ga women's place is
in the home" especially prevalent in
the southern provinces Of the PENN
sula.
Intelligent, progressive, cultured
Italian girls are now to be found
almost in every occupation that then
American sisters have occupied fol
years, and the fact is accepted not
as a temporary war necessity, but as
permanent change in the condition
that cannot fail to have a deep effect
on social conditions in Italy.

BURN WOOD
How Country Districts Can Help
Save Coal

Washington, Oct. 2-The coal
shortage for next winter, estimated
by the Fuel Administration at about
14,000,000 tons, makes it necessary
that wood should be used to save
both coal and transportation. Coun-
try districts and small villages are in
position to greatly help coal conser-
walton by burning wood
Farmers now use on their farms
100000 cords of fuel wood an
nually. All farms should use it
during the war or emergency peri
DDS, officials urge.
Any kind of coal stove or furnace
can be used for burning wood in a
pinch. With a careful attention to
drafts and CRATES the change can be
made with little trouble.
On the average, according to the
Forest service, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, a cord of wood
is about equal to seven-tenths of a
ton of coal. Two cords of soft wood
are required to equal a ton of coal
UuC d COIu VI WOOU 1IOul d nuIIlUGi
of well-known kinds of trees will
equal a ton of coal in heating value
and for three varieties-Osage
orange, Canyon, live oak, and black
locust-a cord has higher heating
value than a ton of coal. Most OF
the oaks and lickories as we'll a:
western yew, honey locust, blue gum
sweet birch, and a number of other:
are the equivalent of nine-tenths Of
one ton of coal.
The following have a low heating
value but are approximately equa
to one-half ton of coal: yellow
buckeye, black cottonwood; bas
wood, western red cedar, Alpine fl
and Englemann spruce, black willow
balsam fir, Sitka spruce, aspen ant
white spruce.

Complaints are being received of
inability to purchase copies of the
daily and Sunday HERALD at news
stands, the reason being Cali gone
sold out" The HERALD regrets
this situation, but is unable to alter
it, solely because of the regulations
made in Washington, and strictly en-
forced prohibiting the return by
newsdealers of unsold copies of news
papers. To it's readers, therefore,
the HERALD comes in a call for
cooperation. Help us and we will
help YOU Thus Ask your news
dealer to set aside for you daily and
Sunday copy of the HERALD.
Your newsdealer then will be able
to make a close estimate of the
number of copies he needs to order,
and i'll this manner he will be able,
without inconvenience, to live up to
the law. Also you will not be ob1ig-
ed to go without your HERALD.

A GENERAL VILLAGE STORE

in France

in France
When Sammy wants anything that
isn't in his duffel bag he goes to the
Young Mems Christian association
for it The other night one of the
"Y" secretaries had an example of
some of the things Sammy expects a
canteen to produce "tout de suite"
He was standing at the counter
selling goods and distributing free
writing paper and advice, when dry
and dusty doughboy very lately from
somewhere near Kokomo junction
stuck his head inside the door, OBJ
served the counter and the man be-
hind it. and with a sigh of relief de-
cided that he was at home. With
the air Of plutocrat on $50 per he
came in and threw a franc on the
counter. "Gi' me strawberry soda.
And put a good big chunk of ice
cream in it." he ordered cheerfully.
Hardly had the secretary per-
suaded him, much to his disgust,
that ice cream soda isn't indigenous
to France, before a lanky noun
taineer from Somewhere in North
Carolina" leaned over the counter
and, after locking up and down the
canteen, asked in confidential whis-
peri
AZ allow you all haven'e got any
snuff around, have you?"
The "Y." man said he had not, and
turned to the third Sammp, who had
been waiting to inquire, with a Bos-
ton accent, if the secretary would
kindly dnect him to a Christian
science practitioner.

Lincoln's letter to Mrs. BiXby,
who lost five sons in the War of
the Rebellion:
"Dear Madam
az have been shown in the files of
the War Department statement of
the Adjutant- of Massachu-
sets that you are the mother of five
sons who have died gloriously on the
field of battle. I feel how weak and
fruitless must be any words of mine
which should attempt to beguile you
from the grief of loss so over
whelming. But I cannot refrain
from rendering to you the consolation
that may be found in the thanks of
the Republic they died to save.
pray that our Heavenly Father may
assuage the anguish of your be-
reavement and leave you only the
cherished memory of the loved and
lost, and the solemn pride that must
be yours to have paid so costly a sac
rifice upon the altar of freedom"
