For months past the World Trade
Club q San Fransisco and the Metric
Association Of New York have been
waging = vigorous campaign for the
adoption Of the metric units Of weight
and MEASURE by the United States.
World Trade Club particularly has
been right On the job. The copious
literature issued by the club has
shown with relentless logic the need
for Observation-Disclosures of weights
and measures, and the great gain the
metric system would bring to the
United States in trade, in manuafc-
ture, in education.
Hundreds of Americas most emf
nent men have taken the trouble to
write or telegraph World Trade Club
pledging to the campaign. All tes-
THY to the handicap Of our present
tumble of weights and measures
inherited from England, forced on her
by lGermany-and all are sure tre-
mendous benefits will come from the
adoption of metric units.
All this is very well.

Reasons are good, but acts are bet

World Trade Club is doing its part
But there is still an important step
to take.
1t is: to get the thing done.
In other words, the matter is now
up to the Legislators Of the United
States, particularly the members Of
Congress.
Congress has dallied with this sub
ject ever since the days Of Thomas
Jefferson. He urged a metric sys-
tenn in 1886 He got US to adopt
metric money and the dollar. But our
Legislators lacked the "gumption" to
adopt acknowledgement. In 1866
Congress made the metric system le-
gal. Why was 1t not made exclusive
Now is the time to remedy the err
ror. The world war showed us that

Say Flu Increases T. b. c. Danger
Lansing, August 25-The first ef-
forts of Miss Elizabeth L. Parker,
newly appointed executive secretary
of the Michigan Anti-tuberculosis
association will be directed toward
calling attention to the increase in
tuberculosis as a result Of the infiu-
enza epidemic of last winter. Miss
Parker has been making some inveti-
cations along this line and she finds
that the increase in the white plague
because of the flu is rather alarming.
In one county in the upper penin-
sula where Miss Parker was at work
recently it was found that the in
crease nj tuberculosis was at least
between ten and fifteen per cent
since year ago, and there is no rea-
son to believe that that particular
county was out of the ordinary. A
similar increase is believed to have
developed in most of the state.
Ever since the flu epidemic started
the Michigan Antiltub irculosis as
sociation has been warning the peo-
pie of the state against the probable
ity of an increase intuberculosis. It
was constantly pointed out that there
is no direct connection between the
two diseases and that there is no
reason why person who has had the
flu should develope tuberculosis. The
person who is careful can avoid these
bad results from the flu. The only
way in which the flu leads to tuber-
culosis is because it weakens the sys-
tenn and in that way paves the way
for the tuberculosis germ to make
an attack.
In many cases the harm has al
ready been done, and many persons
in Michigan who had the flu last win
ter are now up against tuberculosis
But more serious results may still be
avoided If all will take steps i'm
mediately. Persons who have had the
FLU and who now find themselves In
a weakened condition should lose nc
time, Miss Parker advises, but should
go and see a competent physician
Immediately. They should insist or
thorough examination to determine
definitely whether the disease has de.
veloped to tuberculosis or not. And
If it has, they should take immediate
steps to get cured. Whatever ID done
now will count hundred times more
than what is done some months hence
Delay is the one great danger II
tuberculosis, Miss Parker declares
and the person who wants to be or
the safe side should not daily but
should learn the true facts about
i himself.

PRINTERS, INK. No. 8

When people want to interest dis
tant friends in their home town, they
send away copies of the local news
parer.
When anyone wants to know what
kind of place distant tcwniis, ne
sends and gets a copy OF the local
newspaper.
Thus such a. paper as the Banner
News is a mirror of the life of Bel
ding. When the merchants are full
of courage and advertise freely, an
suppression is created among the many
people outside the town who see the
paper, that this is an exceedingly
bringh and wide awake business town
If at times the merchants let up a
little on their advertising the town
does not ok so good to outsiders.
In supporting the home paper,
therefore, you not merely get the To-
cal and business news, but you help
on all civic causes, you are enabled
to participate to the fullest extent in
it's life and you help the town exert
influence and create favorable inn
preston outside.
