1t may be said that the prevention
and the cure of any harmful condition
consists logically in eliminating the
cause. But in order to do this it is
necessary, first, to ascertain the cause
and find out all we can about its
method of operation. For this reason
time and money and effort spent in
investigating the causes of disease are
certainly well spent, and they offer as
great a yield on the principal invested
as any other form OF Investment that
can be mentioned. The Truth of this
state ment is .vSrr well illustrated IN
the fact that practically all the leading
insurance companies, no doubt having
business reasons for desiring the re-
duction of disease, very properly ex-
pend large sums of money on research
work.

Unqucstionably it is the patriotic
duty of every loyal American TO keep
well and fit for lifes great battle. Our
country needs every bit of assistance
from every individual. We must pro-
duce far more food than ever before
TO feed our own soldiers overseas as
well as those of the allied nations. And
we must eliminate waste and incTf-
cheney. More lumber with which to
build ships and carry on rcconstruc-
ton work must be forthcoming. Cotton
and wool for the great needs of the
world must be made available at the
earliest possible date. The mines and
mineral industries must be kept well
up to the maximum of production. In
order TO accomplish this and even
more that may be necessary the prev
alence of disease must be kept at the
minimum. Sickness from preventable
diseases means loss OF time and money
and decreased efficiency and will
greatly impede this country in its re-
construction work. Therefore, it be-
comes the duty of every individual to
take special pains to safeguard his
health and the health of his country.

Cleveland MoHett
Objects to Raise
OF S1,lOO i'm Rent
Appeals to Mayors Commit
tee for Relief; Says Coun-
try Is Facing Serious
Problem i'm Profiteering

Cleveland Moffett appeared before q
Joint session of the Mayors committee
on rent profteering and the committee
on general welfare of the Board of
Aldermen in the Municipal Building
yesterday to protest against his land
lord raising his rent from $500 to
$4,000 year. Mr.. Motfett occupies Il
house at 1853 East Fifty-sixth Street
He said he had himself expended 81 600
for repairs, and that his offer to COM
promise on yearly rental of $500
had been refused by the owner, the
Broadway. Henry Coe is president of
the company and Mrs. Herbert Parsons
one of the directors.
Mr.. Moffett produced a letter from
Frederick T. Barry, of SAG Madison
Avenue, owner of house in East
Fifty-tifth Street, almost Identical to
that occupied by Mr.. Moffett. Mr..
Barry wrote that he received $l,700 a
year rent for the property, and al
lowed S100 year for repairs, and
that this gave him a return of 612
per cent on his equity.
sofd After Mr.. Moffett agreed to deposit
creased rate, with Nathan Hirsch,
chairman of the Mayors committee, he
was asked to give his views on the
bearing of the present rent situation
to protiteering in food. clothing and
other necessaries. Mr. Moifct said, IN
part:
"The argument that {. man is justified
IN charging what he pleascs for his
own property is not sound if the vel
fare of the community is involved in
the handling of that property. An
owner has no right to sell milk that he
may own at exorbitant prices when
poor children are perishing for the
want of milk. Nor can q man sell sugar
to-day at 20 cents pound simply be-
cause he owns the sugar. If he tries
this he goes to Jail, thanks to vigorous
government action. l say we need sim
lar vigorous action in the case Of
profteering landlords, and we Will get
it if the people stand together coura
geously and vigilantly and insist upon
such action.
"No one objects to reasonable raise
Of rents in these difficult times only
TO an unreasonable raise. If it is asked
what is reasonable and what is unrea-
sonable, the answer is easily found in
The public conscience. The people Of
this city and of all American cities
know what is fair and what is not
fair. Their average judgment can be
trusted.
This is not only local question, but
national question of immense i'm
portance. These are terribly serious
times, and unless justice is done to
millions of poor people and to other
millions in the downtrodden middle
class there will be day Of reckoning
that may shake this nation.
81 call upon all fair-minded citizens
of all parties to realize that, if we are
to escape the fate of unhappy Russia,
we must stand together in the interest
of the many as against the privileges
and expressions of the few"

Six Of the boats we're chosen to race,
and No. 13l sailed into New York har-
Dor first, breaking the record for caso-
lene- driven vessels.
All OF the 1l0-foot s. c. boats proved
their worth as fighting ships during
the war, and were commended by hoth
the Italian and British navies for their
activities in the Adriatic. especially for
their work in tho destruction Of Du-
razzo, the Austrian naval base.
Individually each Of the six chasers
which were chosen to race from Hamil
ton, Bermuda. has g. record which the
membcrs Of the crew are proud to tell

cipient Of congratulatory letters from
Admiral Sims and King George for
sinking its first submarine. The 120
wears q silver star. in token Of her
destruction Of U-boat in the Durazzo
raid.
Submarine chasers were the first to
enter Austrian waters after the war,
and three of them in the name Of the
United States government helped take
Allied possession of the Austrian fleets
at Cattaro and Spalato, Dalmatia.

OF supply troops, will be the only
united States force remaining in Eu-
rope, and these will be returned lust
as soon as need for their retention in
France and Germany terminates. Secre-
tary Baker said. The fact that practi-
csally all of the large storehouses and
bases of supply in France have been
disposed of by the Parker commission,
Mr.. Baker said, would indicate that
return in September.

forces are still in France:
Considerable anxiety has been noted

retention Of these men.
General Pershing, under date of
August IL, cabled the War Department,
stating that all men enlisted for the
emergency will be returned to the
United States as soon as their services
can be spared and transportation be-
comes available
ut is estimated that by September
there will be about 1000 combatant
troops and $4,000 troops in the service
OF supplies. The duties Of the latter
involve guarding and escortng pris-
oners of war, guarding United States
property and camps cooking and bak-
ing, the postal service, clearing the
battlefields, salvage, care of the sick
IN hospitals (including animals(, mill
tary police, motor transportation and
repair, fire protection, commissary
sales, telegraph and telephone service,
road repair work and the supply of
food and equipment generally to all
members thus engaged.

Of the committee named to receive Cen
eral Joffre in May, 1917. Before leav-
ing for the reviewing stand at the Pub
lie Library here, it is said, she put on
her jewels. The butler, observing this,
said:
"My dear madam, you surely wouldn It
wear all that precious jewelry on day

crowds and you would be a mark for
unscrupulous men,"

ence of the butler. When she came back
