New York, Sept. 12-Physicians
predict an increase in tuberculosis in
the United States as one result O. the
war, and they expect this increase to
be especially among women. In nor
NAL times more men than women die
of the White Scourge, but the unusual
ly heavy work done by so many OF

farms, etc. has drained the strength
of many in a way that leaves then
peculiarly susceptible to tuberculosis.
For this reason the National Tuber-
culosis Association plans an emerge
tic campaign to sell s7000.000 worth
OF the Red Cross tuberculosis stickers
at Christmas time-those little stick
ers which were so familiar to the
public every Christmas holiday until

Washington, Sept 1O.-Fewer cigars

contact with some new books hat are
written especially for new Americans.

sympathy as Art

Sympathy IS n Of the fine arts. 1t
should enrich, not impoverish ;
strengthen. not weaken; inspire while
It comforts. 1t is easy enough to say
you are sorry. 1t Is easy to grieve with
your friend over his trouble and pity
him for his mishaps. But the sympathy
which is a fine art does not encourage
him to give way to despair. 1t stimu-
lates. It puos hope in place Of heart
ache. 1t points on and up. Do not
wrong your friend with the sympathy
which win make him feel like plying
himself.
