1.-THE American people, In common
with the nations of Europe, are be-
coming aroused to the critical impor-
lance of the problem of vitality and
conservation Of health as the neces-
sary factor In re-establishing the
world after the devastation and de-
struction caused by the war. OF all
the preventable diseases, tuberculosis
takes perhaps the first place in impor-
lance. For that reason l view with
keenest sympathy and approval the
splendid work which the National Tu-

TO HAVE
TRADE CONSUL" S"

Plans have been completed by tha
Bureau OF Overseas Trade OF the
British government for the establish
ment OF a gigantic system OF COM
mercial attaches throughout the
world, according to official adviceS
received here.
The scheme VIII entail an annual
expenditure Of approximately $1,000
ooo-much larger than any other
government.
A novel feature Of the plan Is the
arrangement by which the overseas
trade bureau will seek 70 bring the
foreign purchaser in personal con-
tact with the British manufactures
at the latter's home.
In addition to the expansion OF the
consular and attache service. British
manufacturers, the advices state, plan
the organization OF q great associa-
ton through which Representatives
win work in constant touch with the
consul agents, and commercial at
taches.
This may indicate. Il was said, that
there will not be many selling agents
OF the British manufacturers abroad
Instead, the consuls and commercial
attaches win work with q freer
hand and in a measure VIII put the
official government stamp on the
plans OF British lcommerce TO gather

Recently the city's best burglars
conferred on the subject and decided
there was but one thing TO do. The
burgling fraternity must have an
adding machine.
So they took the adding machine
from the office OF ,C1e Mcclure Lum-
Der Company, The machine is valued
at 500.

At an carly hour Monday. it is be-
Iievcd the adding machine had been
working all night and that the Iun-
