States Public Health Service, the cpl
demic of influenza in Spain has al
ready caused an increase in the preya-

berculosis A similar association be

recently made by Sir Arthur News

English public Aealth service, in his
analysis of the tuberculosis death rate
In England.
In order that the people of the Unit

of other countries Surgeon General

cial precautions at the present time.

One Million Consumptives in the
United States.

"Then you consider this serious
menace?" was asked. "In my opinion
II is, though l hasten to add II 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 tuberculosis per-
SONS in each state despite the fact that
most of the states have made the dis
ease reportable. In New York city,
where reporting has been in force for
many years, over $4,000 cases of tu-
berculosis are registered with the De
partment of Health. Those familiar
with the situation believe that the adj
dtion of unreeognized and unreported
cases woeld 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 popula-
tion Of approximately $1,000 If these
proportions hold true for the United
States as whole they would indicate
that about ono in every hundred per
sons is tuhereulous. Each of these
constitutes source of danger to be
guarded ag;sast"

What 70 Do.

In his statement TO the public Sur
geon General Blue points out how
those who have had influenza should
protect themselves against tubereulo-
sis All who have recovered from In
fluenza" says the Surgeon General,
"should have their lungs carefully ex-
amined by competent physician. 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 II the
lungs are found to be free from tuber-
culosis every effort should be made TO
keep them so This can be done by
right living, good food and plenty Of
fresh air"

Maximum Efficiency Is Every
ones Solemn Duty.

The testing time has arrived.
Every man. woman and child in this
country is being called upon to do
their utmost, in their own particu-
lar way. to help their country in a
time of stress.
Whatever your occupation or line
of business. it is your duty to give
your very best efforts in everything
you undertake. Efficiency is the
word of the hour, and the person
who fails to give the very best he
is capable of, will fall far short of
his solemn obligation.
OF course you are not only will
ing. but anxious. to do your best
Tou are glad to be able to contrib
ute the most efficient service of
which you are capable. just as every
other good citizen is. And prac-
fically every one will be called upon
10 do something, to perform some
task, that will be of Importance in
the great conflict that is now upon
us.
First of all. it Is your duty to
keep your physical condition in the
best possible shape, SO that you
will not only escape illness which
will make you a burden, but in or
der that your efforts may at all
times be at your country's service,

Packers Reaching Out.
In another chapter OF the report
Is shown how the big packers. octo-

illustrating again the profits of
the packers, the report shows that
while their business increased only
$50 per cent in the war time"
period, their profits increased to 400
per cent. or two and one-half times

Morris & Co. showed 1897 per

Department of Prisoners Relief, urges
relatives of captured men not to at
tempt to send them parcels.
Packages "Get There"
But do the American prisoners get
these Red Cross shipments" Is a
question asked frequently.
They do is Mr.. Abbott's positive
answer. The American Red Cross
has means OF making certain that
the prisoners get what is sent. Every
package calls for return Of a receipt
signed by the prisoner.
IF any one fails to acknowledge n
package, an immediate inquiry is
started. II the package miscarried.

they will feed any reasonable number

That's what every captured Ameri-

When the prisoner arrives after
long journey to a German port and
through the Limburg concentration
prison, he Is met by Chief Gunner's
Mate James Delaney and three other
American prisoners who constitute
the American Help Committee of the
American Red Cross in Brandenburg

No welcoming Speech.
To meet just such a contingency
the American Red Cross from tts

has sent this committee a stock of
emergency food parcels and supplies

There are no speeches Of welcome

to the list of 31 military and civil

Cross each week sends twenty pounds
of bread, meat, fish, dried fruit, vege-
tables. sugar. coffee, tea, etc.
The card also gives the sizes of
shoes and garments the prisoner
wears so that uniforms or other
clothing can be supplied. Smokers
receive regular packages OF tobacco.
These shipments are made from the
vast stores which the Red Cross has
collected at Berns for the relief of
