One cut OF every nine deaths in the
cities Is due to tuberculosis. Careful
Investigations and reliable statistics
prove that where sanitary conditions
are improved, the rate of mortality de.
creases. This accounts for the fact
that 1t is lower in the city than In the
country, where the rate Is one In seven.
However, there remains much to be-
done in the way of better living condi-
tions in the cities. The people are
just beginning to learn how they may
guard against the insidious advances
of tuberculosis. Trained workers are
studying carefully the disease and the
conditions which produce 1t, and in To-
calities where methods of prevention
are more closely followed, there have
been very marked decrease in the rate
of mortality.

citation is this week undertaking to
raise in the State total of $150,009

awful disease.
q fact VIII Oh should appeal TO the la

loss in wages in Pulaski County alone
due to tuberculosis amounts to- more
than 100000 annually, computing the
loss at the extremely low wage of IS

GERMANS AND POLES FIGHT:
 HOOVER BUSY

WARSAW, Aug. 19.-R)-German troops which are supposed to be guarding the frontier between Ger many and Poland made a sudden at tack on the few Polish soldiers guard ing the Polish side of the line, driv- ing them back, according to informa- tion received here. The Germans then advanced for some distance and succeeded in occupying two villages in southeastern Silesia, according to the report, which further states, however, that the civilian population of the district, together with what few Polish soldiers could be gather ed together, succeeded in driving the Germans back across their own from tier and themselves occupied two German villages. In fact the affair seems to have been more in the na- lure of riot than battle, altho it is believed that--boundary line dis putes are the cause of the trouble.
 Immediately upon receipt of news of the battle here, Herbert Hoover, American relief commissioner, prac. tically took charge of the entire for eign colony here, the fear being ex. pressed that there would be panic among the foreigners when they heard that the Germans were advanc.

OLD TIME TO
 BE RESUMED

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19-(R-Day- light saving in the United States, at least for the time being, is believed to be thing of the past, the house of representatives having passed the repeal bill over the Presidents veto today. This bill provides that the clocks of the country shall resume normal time on the first Sunday in October.
 The vote for the repeal in the house stood 223 for and 101 against, and the daylight saving bill was therefore declared repealed as far as the house is concerned. It yet re- mains for the senate, however, to take the same action as has the house before the repeal is an assured fact, but it is believed that the repeal bill will also pass the senate.
 Regardless of the fact that the bill has been repealed supporters of day light saving turnout the country ex- press the opinion that it will yet be resorted to even by those who are now fighting it, as means to pro- vide more hours of daylight in the working day.

STARTING ON
 FORTUNE HUNT

LONDON, Aug. 19.-P-In the be. lief that Paul Kruger, the president of the former Boer republic in South Africa, was possessed of enormous wealth, the larger part of which has never been accounted for, company is now being organized here to search for his hidden fortune. The fortune is believed to consist of about $3,0OO,- 900 in gold and is thot to have been cemented in the hold of the bark Dorothea which was sunk off Zulu land.
 Kruger, during his lifetime, was known to be a man of very frugal habits. At the same time 1t was also known that he continually received large sums of money. But very little of this, it is claimed, has been ac- counted for and it is for this reason that it is believed that the hold of Kruger's ocean home, the Dorothea, holds the remainder of his fortune.

 SANTA BARBARA, Aug. 19.-R- The Pacific fleet under the command of Admiral Hugh s. Rodman arrived here tonight from Los Angeles.

Should an early date be set the fleets stay here would be cut short but it is now expected that it will be in the harbor for some time.

BERLIN, Aug. 19.- LP) That not only they alone but all Germans should feel deeply indebted to the people of the United States for the manner in which all German prison CTS of American troops were treated during the war, is the essence of a statement issued from German social ist headquarters here. America, says the statement, treated German prison. CTS of war with greater considers tion than did any other nation and for this reason the socialists desire to express their deep appreciation publicly.
 The statement also says that the socialists will shortly inaugurate a campaign for the release of all Ger man prisoners still held by the al lies. This is given as the reason for the statement in allied circles in Berlin.
