Washington, d. C.-(Special) -Ac-
cording to a report made to the United
States Public Health Service, the cpl
demic of Influenza in Spain has al
ready caused an increase In the preva-
lence and deaths from pulmonary tu-
berculoss. A similar association be-
tween influenza and tuberculosis was
recently made by Sir Arthur News
holme, the chief medical officer of the
English public health service, in his
analysis Of the tuberculosis death rate
In England.
In order that the people Of the Unit
ed States may profit by the experience
of other countries Surgeon General
Rupert Blue Of the United States Pub
lie Health Service has just issued
warning emphasizing the need Of spe-
cial precautions at the present time.
Experience seems to Indicate" says
the Surgeon General. 'that persons
whose resistance has been weakened
by an attack Of influenza are peculiar
ly susceptible to tuberculosis. With
millions Of its people recently affected
with influenza this country now Of
fers conditions favoring the spread of
tuberculosis"
One Million consumptIves In the
United States.
"Then you consider this a serious
menace" was asked. ''In my opinion
1t is, though hasten to add 1t is dis
tinctly one against which the people
can guard. So far as one can estimate
there are at present about one million
cases of tuberculosis In the United
States. There is unfortunately no
complete census available to show ex-
actly the number Of tuberculosis per
sons In each state despite the fact that
most of the states have made the dis
ease reportable. In New York city,
where reporting has been in force for
many years, over $4,000 cases of tu-
berculosis are registered with the De-
partment Of Health. Those familiar
with the situation believe that the ad-
dition Of unrecognized and unreported
cases would make the number nearer
$4,000. The very careful health sur
vey conducted during the past two
years in birmingham, Mass, revealed
200 cases Of tuberculosis In a popula-
ton Of approximately $4,000. If these
proportions hold true for the United
States as a whole they would indicate
that about one in every hundred per-
sons is tuberculous. Each. of these
constitutes a source Of aansef to be
guarded against" 80.
VIVA. to Do.
In his statement to the public Sur
geon General Blue points OUT how
those who have had Influenza should
protect themselves against tuberculo-
sis. IAN who have recovered from in
fluenza," says the Surgeon General.
SHOULD have their lungs carefully ex-
amined by competent physician. In
fact; 1t is desirable to have several ex-
aminations made month apart Such
examinations cannot be made through
the clothing nor can they be carried
out in two or three minutes. If the
lungs are found to be free from tuber-
culosis every effort should be made to
keep them so. This can be done by
right living, good food and plenty of
fresh air."

Thrift and economy, cham
pioned by the womanhood Of
America, have won the Strug-
gle against greed and rapacity.
Cannons and guns and men did
their part on the field of battle
but it was the savings of the
men and women at home that
put them there.
Out of the four-years trag-
edy has come the lesson of
thrift. Not the niggardly
boarding of the miser, but the
knowledge of the value Of
economy that produced the
sage advice of Burns:
"Save money, not for to hide
it in a hedge,
Nor for a train attendant;
But for the glorious privilege
Of being independent"
Women shave always been
the savers in the home, from
necessity, but "the glorious
privilege of being independ-
ent," gained from the fulfill
ment of a patriotic duty, has
given them an incentive to
economic and save for the
sheer joy of saving.
A far-seeing government has
provided us with a means of
saving-Thrft Stamps, War
Savings Certificates, Liberty
Bonds-which, apart from
their use in winning the war,
have proved to be one of the
greatest moral and material
blessings ever devised.
There has been no letting
down of effort by the women
of the Eleventh Federal Re-
serve District because the
Fourth Liberty Loan was put
over successfully and war was
declared ended soon after. It
has ever been the part of wo-
man to do quietly, but effec-
lively, those duties requiring
persistent effort, with q
thought only for the final re-
suit. Patiently and steadily
the officers of the Women's
Liberty Loan Committees have
been preparing the way for the
next great demand, unchecked
by the fact that bloodshed has
ceased.
AS chairman of the Woman's
Liberty Loan Committee of
the Eleventh Federal Reserve
District, ask every woman
in the district to be true TO
the traditions of our sex.
Through necessity we learned
to save. We can now put
to use the knowledge gained of
independence through saving.
We owe this duty to our chill
dren, our families, ourselves,
md our country.
(MRS.) E. B. REPPERT.

interest manifested by the parents;
and doubtless the examination tests
will result in much benefit in raising

inss- His Action To Pro-

Bismarck, N. D., June <3.--Declar-
ing that he was not acting through
political motives in declining to sign
the Bank of North Dakota bonds,
pending a decision Of the supreme
court on their legality, and that he
would cooperate with the attorney
generals Office in Fastening the
mandamus proceedings to- be heard
next Wednesday morning to a prompt
termination. Secretary of State
Thomas Hall today issued the fol-
lowing statement Of his stand in the
matter. +
1.-THE constitution, as originally
adopted authorized the state to con-
tract debts not in xcess of $200, 900,
exclusive Of what may be the debt at
the time Of this constitution This
section "a repealed by the consti-
tutional amendment fixing a new debt
limit last fall, and the constitution
now provides that the state may re-
sue bonds, provided that all bonds
in excess of 100000 shall be secur-
ed by real estate mortgages.
There are now outstanding bond
ed debts of the state in excess Of
$412,000; there is nothing in the con-
stitution as amended to indicate that
the $4,000, 900 debt limit is exclusive
Of the debts existing at the time Of
the adoption of the amendment or
at any time in the past, and unless
fortified by the decision of our SUI
preme court. I do not purpose to
stulify myself nor to endanger my
surety bond by certifying that the
$2,000,00 bank. bond issue, which is
not tp be secured by real estate NOR
tgages in any way, is within the debt
limit.
No Politics.

ion, and no desire or wish to thwart
the will Of the people, nor hinder or
delay. the carrying out Of the state
Bank Of North Dakota scheme. / will
