WHITE PLAGUE IN BALKANS
tuberculosis Death Rate There the
Highest in the World, Says
Red Cross.

Bucharest tuberculosis death
rate in the Balkans is the highest in
the world, asserts the medical staff
of the American Red Cross headquar-
tiers here. This is based on reports
from Red Cross workers in ROumania,
Serbia, Albania, and Montenegro.
The distressing factor is that the
countries are almost wholly without
sanitariums for the treatment OF tu-
berculosis. Red Cross relief is tenn
porary, and it is considered beyond its
province to found sanitariums on the
scale that would be needed.
Miss Viola L. Nohr of Ripon, Wis.,,
a nurse, who for many months has
been treating patients in all parts OF
Albania reports that she found tuber-
culosis in almost every Albanian fam
lily. The percentage has been placed
at about so per cent.
DIR. Geraldine e. Watson OF Brook
Ign, N. Y, reports:
"Thousands of children are dying
Of consumption in Montenegro. The
percentage of tuberculosis in children
is fearfully high. The probable source
of infection is the milk of tubercu-
lar cattle, with which the country is
overrun."
DR.. Margaret w. Johnston, former
ly the superintendent of the Chicago
hospital, writes:
Tuberculosis in its many forms is
most prevalent throughout Serbia.
The people are not educated so that
trying to instruct them through in
terpreters is slow work. Only a
graphic campaign with posters show
ing cause and effect has any value
here, where ignorance of sanitation,
diet, and even household remedies is
universal"

Feeds on Vegetables, Too.
The borer is the caterpillar of a
small brown moth. These caterplllars
tunnel through all parts of the corn
plant, and injure or destroy the ears
and stalks. Garden vegetables, many
flowers, weeds and grasses are also
attacked by the pest.
On the corn plant the borers hatch
from eggs laid by the moth on the IN
der side of the leaf. The newly
Matched caterpillars feed at first on
the leaves, but soon bore into the tas-
sells, ears, stalks and ribs of the leaves.
They live in the stalks all winter as
caterpillars, and in spring they change
into brown pupae, which soon produce
moths again.
