TUBERCULOSIS CLAIMS 40 PCT.
Astonishingly Large Number of Soldiers
Have Contracted Disease.

Washington, u. c., March 5.-Disabil-
ity claims filed with the bureau of war
risk insurance on account Of tubercuIo-
sis are at present in the neighborhood
of 40 per cent OF the whole, and the
problem of what to do with the men in
capaeitated by this disease is therefore
one Of the major questions facing the
federal board for vocational education,
to which Congress assigned the task Of
refitting disabled men for usefulness and
placing them back in civil life.
DR. r. b. Kidder. who inaugurated the
Canadian system If rehabilitation long
before the United States was in the war
and who was loaned to the federal board
by the Canadian government said to-
day, speaking of the problem of the tu-
berculous man;
at is becoming more and more the
opinion of students of this disease that
the economic battle against it may be
fought as well in the old trade and in
familiar surroundings provided the work
is not arduous, nor the environment I'M
suitable, Ii possible, the work should
be done largely in the open air. and it
would be to the tuberculous mans ad-
vantage if he could work Independently,
choosing his own hours and taking a day
off occasionally when he finds his
strength failing. Conditions of employ.
ment in many trades are often more ia
vorable in small towns than in cities, and
the small town house is usually more
conducive to health than the city tene-
ment or apartment"
"If the health of the ex.soldier is such
that he cannot go back to his former
occupation he need not despair, for many
doors are open to him. There are GER
tain lighter forms of work on the land
such as market gardening, fruit grow
ing, Bookkeeping, dairying and the like
There are also opportunities in the trans,
port trade and in wood carving; even
carpentry work or that of the bricklayer
or clerical work, if conditions are suit
able, may afford occupations for the man
with tuberculosis. In many instances
they will be able to carry on in the same
line Of work in which they were engaged

ciety, 100000; Board of Ministerial Re.
lief, $4,000. Vermont's share of this
100000 is $4,000, divided as follows:
American Board II per cent Womans
Board IA per cent, Congregational Home
Missionary association 27 per cent, Amer
lean Home Missionary association - per
cent, Congregational Church Building as
ISOLATION per cent Congregational Edu-

The Woman's Home Missionary union is
asked to pay IA per cent OF the appor-
tionment~~of the six homeland societies
Three and one.half per cent from differ
ent appointments is deducted for the
work of Mr.. Merrill in the state.
The way of making out this apportion.
ment is to find what the church has CON
tributed, the average expenses, etc. Abil-
ity and interest determine the churchs
share in missions. When the apportion-
ment is determined the women raise the
amount apportioned for their organza-
tions and the church the rest, or where
there are no women's auxiliaries, the
church raises the whole amount, which
is divided according to the various
branches of the missionary work,

goodness of the men. Mrs Enrich was
given the rare opportunity of reading
the priceless manuscripts in the men :
quarter of a Turkish home, which no
