Full Steam Ahead

America has been plugging along
on the up grade with heavy load
for quite awhile now and the sum-
nit of the rise is just about in sight
Pretty soon, if we keep up the
pace, we will be over the hump and
back on a level track once more
Then it will be easy going.
But we mustn't stop stocking the
boilers until we are over.
We must keep plugging; full steam
ahead.
There are some tremendously i'm
portant consignments aboard right
now. And some of them are over
due. All of them are imperatively
essential to our continued peace and
happiness and prosperity.
Industry is awaiting patiently
down the line for the warning whis-
tie. The smoke in the chimneys is
thinning; the wheels are ceasing to
hum.
More than a million mothers are
less patiently awaiting the return OF
their sons and in every hamlet the
whistle of the train will light JOY
in expectant faces.
Storekeepers, big and little, are
wondering just how much longer
they will be able to extend credits
and carry book accounts.
Thousands of returned soldiers are
hunting jobs and wondering how
much harder they will be to find
when that other million and a hall
gets home this summer.
Business generally is waiting ant
wondering what the next mail will
bring.
And the old Prosperity Special i.
still coughing along this side of thu
summit of the hill.
Folks, we want to get on the job
stoke those boilers, keep full steam
ahead.
Every condition is right for the
biggest industrial and commercial
boom America has enjoyed in years
But we'll have to help it along.
We will have to help Uncle Sam
finish the trip.
Have to put his victory-Liberty
Loan over with . whoop.
Make it possible for him to make
good.
He'll do it with half q chance.

An analysis of the income and ope-
rating conditions though, brings out
the fact that, even under the new
schedules, the increased earnings OF

equal the present and accommodating

the estimated deficit of the South
enr Bell and Cumberland Compa-
MES for the year 1919 is computed at
$2,038,OOO. The new rates over the
entire territory of these two COM
panies will have produced at the end
of 1919, if every present subscriber
retains his service, an increase of ap-
proximately $l,20O,0OO., which has
been found by the experts who have
constructed the new schedules and

Early in the participation of the
United States in the world war, the
American Red Cross perceived the
value of mobilizing the school children
of the country and the Junior Red
Cross was organized. Before the wal
ended nine million children were en-.
rolled and helped in the war fund
and membership campaigns, in chap.
ter production of relief supplies and
manufacturing furniture for the ref
ugees whose homes and household
goods were destroyed.
Children everywhere In the United
States responded to the call to serv-
Ice sounded by President Wilson as
head of the American Red Cross.
This photograph is that of an en-
thusiatic young Japanese member of
the Junior Red Cross of Spokane,
Wash, starting out on the ambitious
undertaking of collecting "a mile of
pennies" for war relief. A cOmpre-
hensive peace program is now being
worked out for the Junior Red Cross,
which is being held intact.

Reports 10000 Deaths
Each Year From the
Disease.

People who live in the smaller towns
and on farms have great health adj
vantage over the city dwellers in that
| they have ever an abundant supply OF
fresh air and sunlight.
These two gifts Of nature, so lavish
ly bestowed are not always appreciat-
ed to their fullest extent. They are
two of the strongest weapons against
the menace of tuberculosis, or con-
sumption, as it is sometimes called.
But consumption Is not unknown In
the rural districts. The death rate is
sometimes as great in these sections as
in the more crowded localities, chiefly
because Of carelessness or indifference
10 laws of health.
Few, indeed, are the farm houses
or the homes in the smaller cities and
villages that cannot have an outdoor
sleeping porch. On the contrary, we
often find that the windows of sleep
ing rooms in the home are shut tight
In the mistaken belief that night air
is harmful.
This paves the way for disease, espe-
cially tuberculosis, which generally at
tacks the lungs.
White Plague Kills 10000 Year.
The white plague claimed 10000
lives last year in the United States
More than 100000 Americans are suf-
fering from it today. These figures
are compiled from reports OF experts
all over the country and sent to the
National tuberculosis Association. the
leading agency in the country to COM
bat this disease. This organization is

Seal sale, from which it's financial sup
pert is chiefly derived.
AS medical science has proved con-
sumption is both preventable and cura-
bic, the suffering caused by this dis
case is largely unnecessary. Most tu-
berculosis victims are between the
ages Of eighteen and forty five.
Causes Half Billion Loss Annually
These are the years when people
are most active, the years Of their
greatest production. The snuffing out
of these lives just when they are at
the height of their usefulness means
an annual loss to the country of near
ly half a billion dollars.
Fresh air is the cheapest of medi-
cines. Outdoor sleeping porches are
