HAVE BIG
HEALTH ADVANTAGE
Abundance of Fresh Air and
Sunlight Do Much to Check
RavageS of tuberculosis.
DANGER IN CLOSED WINDOWS.
National tuberculosis Association,
Which Sponsors the Annual Sale
Of Red Cross Christmas Seals,
Reports 10000 Deaths
Each Year From the
Disease.

People who live in the smaller towns
and on farms have a great health ad'
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
lily 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 1t is sometimes called.
But consumption is not unknown in
the rural districts. The death rate is
sometimes 10 great in these sections as
IN the more crowded localities, chiefly
because of carelessness or Indifference
to 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 |

Ill over the country and sent TO the
National tuberculosis Association, the
eading agency in the country to com
)at this disease. This organization is
.ponsor for the Red Cross Christmas
Seal sale, from which its financial sup
,crt is chiefly derived.
As medical science has proved con-
Umption is both preventable and cura-
lie, the suffering caused by this dis
ase is largely unnecessary. Most tu-
erculosis victims are between the
ges Of eighteen and forty-five
Causes Half Billion Loss Annually.
These are the years when people
re most active, the years of their
reatest production. The snufiing out
f these lives just when they are at
le height Of their usefulness means
n annual loss to the country of near
half a billion dollars.
Fresh air is the cheapest Of medi-
mes. Outdoor sleeping porches are
ot only for the sick. They help well
,lks to keep well, and the country
weller can have this aid to healthy
viog at far less Inconvenience than

GOOD PROSPECTS FOR
SWEET POTATO CROP

Farmers in the Bridgeyille section
and in Maryland have begun to dig
sweet potatoes and from present indi-
cations the yield will be the largest
ever known. One farmer said he would
realize about 5000 baskets from ten
acres, an average of 800 baskets to
the acre. This is a fair indication Of
all the potatoes planted in this sec
ton, according to the brokers and
growers. The acreage set this year is
the largest ever known in this part
of the Peninsula.
Owing to a ruling of the Fereral
government concerning the storage of
vegetables for a profit, it is said
great many brokers of this part of the
Peninsula will not buy sweet potatoes
and store them as in former years,
but will let the farmers store, them
and then buy from them. Already
some of the farmers are making eff
forts to secure the brokers storage
houses.
While there is an enormous crop of
sweet potatoes prices have remained
high and they are now selling around
one dollar a basket. Prospects are
that prices will remain the same.

Ten million rounds OF ammunition

EXEMPTION ALSO
COVERS PLACER CLAIMS

A question has been raised regard
ing The joint resolution approved on
November IS, waving the annual
assessment work on mining claims.
The resolution, by its language, was
made to apply to ''the provisions. of
section 1924 of the revised statutes Of
the United States, which requires on
each mining claim located and until
a patent has been issued therfor not
less than $lGO worth Of labor etc.
Section 1924 of the revised sta
tutes refers solely and specifically
to lode claims, but the resolution al
so refers to "all mining claims in the
United States, including Alaska'' and
was undoubtedly intended by Con-
gress to includes as it says. " all min
ing claims" whether referred to in
section 1924 or not. However, to dis
pose of any doubt the Goldfield Tri-
bune telegraphed to Senator Hender-
son to ascertain how the resolution
was being construed by the commits
sioner of the general land office and
has received reply stating that the
commissioner construes the joint res
olution to include placer elaine as
we'll as lode claims.

VETERANS HEAR
UNTRUE STATEMENTS

" have been informed writes
a boy from Mississippi, that all
soldier boys would receive $500,
or $50 per month for twelve
months. Please write me if this
is true.
1t is true that the Federal Board
for Vocational Education, to
whom this letter was sent, re-
trains disabled service men in
order that they may become self
supporting citizens. It places
them in schools, colleges and in
stitutes. and pays the expense.
The sums paid are from eighty
dollars per month for a single
man, to one hundred fifty dollars
month for a married man. de-
pening upon the number of his
dependents.
The training is not limited to
twelve months but is given for the
| length OF time that it takes to
complete the course to which the
man is assigned The courses
vary from several months to four
years.
The Mississippi boy who wrote
the letter did not say that he was
/ disabled. If he was not disabled
the Federal Board for Nocationa
Education cannot, under the pres
ent laws which governs its opera
tons, do anything for him. He
| will have to look to Congress fol
help, and Congress is now con
sidering the cases of veterans
who did not receive disability.

DISCUSS
 DIVORCE AND REMARRtAGE

Detroit. Mich. Oct. IT. - Through action of the laymen of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the 1916 general convention. sustained by both clerical and lay delegates today, the innocent party to a divorce may be revealed in the church. Amendment of the canonS to prevent re-marriage by an Episcopal priest of a person who has a divorced husband or wife living was defeated. despite desperate efforts by many of the clergy. and a few of the laity to secure it's adoption. Both or ders registered a ajority against the amendment.
 Demand of several delegates who favored the amendment that the church unqualifedly declare against divorce and re- marriage. brought a prolonged arerI Ient on the question.
 Judge Joseph Packard of Baltimore could see no reason why a minister should not be permitted to re-wed the innocent party to a divorce. Dr. C. E. G. Wrigiey of Brooklyn main tained that the 1aymen desired to Randolph. H. McKim of Washington, D. C.. held the old church law to be "the best preseryative we have of the purity of the family"
 Dr. William T. Manning of New York declared the amendment neces sary ito uphold the highest ideals moral and spiritual. of marriage" Dr. C.. Malcolm Douglas of Short Hills, N- Y-. voices what appeared to be the general thought of the convention that the divorce evil can only be cor rected by educational effort among the young.

Washington, Oct. 17.-After a brief debate and without the formality Of a record vote, the senate today threw out two more of the amendments written into the peace treaty by the foreign relations committee.
 The two amendments had been in trOduced by Senator Fall. republican, New Mexico, and had as their com mon purpose curtailment of the pow CT of the American representative on the reparationS commission, an inter- national body set up by the treaty to fix and collect GermanyS reparation bill.
 The vote came sooner than had been expected, the leaders agreeing to it as part of the plan to complete the con- sideration of amendments as soon as possible so that the senate might get down to the real work of drafting a ratification resolution. Only two of the committees forty six amendments now remain to be considered, ad it is hoped to bring them to vote early next week They both relate to equal ization of voting strength in the League of Nations.
 Action on the two Fall amendments came near the end of a session which had been enlivened by sharp debate to Europe for service in connection with the Silescian plebiscite. and by a new move from administration quarters to meet the objections of Irish Americans to the league cov- enant During the day some pro- reading of the treaty text, and the foreign relations committee took under advisement offer from Colonel E. NJ. House to appear before it.
