TUBERCULOSIS HOLD SHOWN
 BY ARMY EXAMINATIONS

When the United States asked the young men of the country to rally to the national standard during the war the draft was found to be one of the best medical detectives that could be imagined. Through the standard of health among the young men of the country was quickly and surely as- certained.
 Altogether, out of the nearly 5000 900 men who were picked by the draft 69,0O0 were found to be tuberculous. than two divisions of soldiers, had to be rejected. They were unfit to take up arms for their country and, in fact, were a danger to their comrades.
 Tuberculosis is one of the gravest problems America has to solve today. Its death toll is enormous. Its sick toll is even greater. Every year at least 10000 die of tuberculosis in the United States. For every death there are open tuberculous cases reported. That means over 100000 persons have the disease Tuberculosis can be prevented and it can be cured. That is the burden of the great education al campaign now being waged by the the 1000 state and local organizations of tuberculosis in the country, espe- cially with the reaction from the war at hand, means that more extensive educational work is required. It must be forthcoming and such a campaign has been planned.
 To obtain funds to teach everyone that tuberculosis can be prevented more than 6590, 900 Red Cross seals are to be sold before Christmas.

To Relieve Catarrh, Catarrhal Deafness
 And Head Noises

Persons suffering from catarrhal deafness, or who are growing hard of hearing and have head noises, will be glad to know that this distressing af- fiction can usually be successfully treated al home by an internal medi- cine that in many instances has effected complete relief after other treatments have failed. Sufferers who could scarcely hear have had their hearing restored to such an extent that the tick of a watch was plainly audibI seven eight inches away from either ear. Therefore, if you know of someone who is troubled with head noises or catarrh- al deafness; cut out this formula and hand 1t to them and you may have been perhaps from total deafness. The pre- scription can be prepared at home and is Elade follows:
 Secure from your druggist oz. Par mirt (dcuble strength). Take this home and add to it A pint of hot water and a little granulated sugar; stir until dis solved. Take one tablespoonful four times a day.
 Parmint is used in this way not only to reduce by tonic action the inaamma- tion and swelling in the Eustachian tubes, and thus to equalize the air pressure on the drum, but to correct any excess of secretions in the middle ear, and the results it gives are nearly always quick and effective.
 Every person. who has catarrah in any form, or distressing, rumbling hissing sounds in their ears should give this recipe trial

GROTON-BUILT SHIPS TO
 RUN IN TOBACCO FLEET

Announcement has been made that the Virginia Shipbuilding corpora ton and the Groton Iron works have enter ed into an agreement with the United States shipping board to repurchase the 24 steel cargo carriers which they contracted to build for the Emergency Fleet corporation. In the case of the Virginia Shipbuilding corporation it has been stated that Judge Payne, chairman of the shipping board. and Colin II. Livingstone. president of the corporation. have formally signed arti- cles whereby the builders will buy the four ships that have been delivered and will take over the other eight 9,400- ton vessels when they are completed.
 It is not known whether all details Of the Groton Iron works deal have been completed, but it said that the shipping board has agreed to the terms and that the deal would be consum- mated within the next few days.
 It is understood that the combined fleets will be operated for the Tobacco Products corporation. which has in augurated an extensive international program Both the Virginia ShipbuiId- ing corporation and the Groton Iron works are controlled by c. W. Morse and his associa tes and are virtual sub sidiaries of the United States Steam ship company. The report is that the United States Steamship company, or a subsidiary. will operate the vessels for the tobacco interests. and that an early development will be the estab- lishment of regular steamship line to ConstantinopIe and Mediterranean ports.
 This rumor could not be confirmed, 1nasmuch as it was stated that Mr. Morse was not in the city.
 The shipping board has announced that 1t will entertain offers from prf- vate interests for the purchase of all the vessels built during the war for the government The financial terms have recently been modified so that the pur- chaser is compelled to pay down 25 per cent when the ship is taken over and the remaining 75 per cent. in regular installments during the next five years. t'ormerly the shipping board insisted that the 75 per cent. should be paid within three years.
 The contract with the Groton Iron works was for six ships of the 9,00-ton register and six of the S,S00-ton type 50 far four of the 8.S00-ton class have been built The Pollard. City of Wor- cester and the Nameaug are the names of three of these. The fourth was launched last Saturday. There are six ships on the ways at the Groton yards now, 1t is understood. the majority of them being the 9,40O-ton size
 According to the financial arrange ments with the government, the build CTS are to be paid for the ships when they are delivered. The shipbuilder in this case. may then pay 25 per cent ol IhiS dLaouItt Io the Sn1pplnS board, gain possession of the ship and have the remaining 75 per cent. to apply toward future building or for working capital. Among the stockholders of the Virginia Shipbuilding corporation are Colin H. Livingstone. president of the American National bank of Wash ington; Davis E1kins. former senator from West Virginia; Lancaster Will Hams, of Middendorf Williams & Co.,; William Guggenheimer and Stewart Gibboney.

K. c. SECRETARIES CARE FOR
 AMERICAN ARGONNE GRAVES

The odd hundred Knights of Colum- bus secretaries in France who are as sisting in the salvage work is being directed by William J. Mulligan, chairman of the overseas work, have completed the task of sodding and making secure against the European winter the graves of thousands of American soldiers. One of the largest Argonne Forest, where 17.000 of the boys are buried-has been carefully taken care of by the K-C secretaries at the behest of Chairman MuIligan.
 Assisted by many of the peasant folks who came from miles around where they live in their battered ham lets and towns, the Knights have placed new sods and timber to sup port the fiowery mounds which mark the final resting place of each Ameri- can hero. Many of the old men, wo- men and children had been under the iron rule of the Germans, and were liberated by. the American forces. All of the graves which they are so eager to keep orderly are the final resting places of the Americans who made the supreme sacrifice in their behalf.
 A cable from MT. Mulligan stated that all the French residents of the Mouse -Argopne district made Sept. 26 a holiday to commemorate the dash and pluck of the American army, It was the first anniversary of the greatest offensive marking the final stage of the war. The harvest and fields were abandoned by the simple peasant folks who travelled in small wagons and >afoot to the Romagne Cemetery. Some of the farmers brought small paint pails to re-dec- crate the wooden crosses and mark ings on the graves. In the Rhineland, the Knights and men from the regular army stationed there have taken splendid care of the cemetery. Fully 15,0O0 doughboys made the supreme sacrifice in the Argonne- Mouse fight. The offensive went on for forty-five days or until Nov. II, 1918.
