TuDo Protest Against Plan "a

For Those Who Died III War

Two letters protesting against the

Grand Forks. North Dakota, Oct. 8,
1919.
To the Editor of The Herald
I note that it has been proposed to
erect a dance hail as q memorial to
the boys, who lost their lives while
serving their country and that ~
club has dignihed it by
appointing a committee to advance
the proposition.
I would suggest as a substitute that
a slaughter, house be advocated-it
would have the advantage of being
more cold blooded and the killing
more humane in that 1t would be sud
den. If there be any feeling for the
mothers of these boys 1t certainly is
not apparent in the proposition and a
decent regard for them seems not In
evidence. Far better that the boys be
forgotten and disregarded than that
a sacrilege to their memory be
made to stand. II a dance hall is a
correct Interpretation Of our feelings
towards the boys who are gone and
the mothers who yet live then truly
may we pray that God have mercy on

Impure milk may be the means OF
transmitting tuberculosis germs.
Therefore the Red Cross crusade
against consumption includes a recon-
mendation for the institution of appro-
pirate measures for preventing the
buying and selling Of dirty milk.
Naturally the open-air school for tu-
bercular children is commended and
emphasis is put on the need of extend
ing the open-air plan wherever possible
for barracks, asylums, orphanages,
warehouses, and prisons.
Thousands of men, women and chill
dren, only slightly affected with con-
sumption, are better citizens if they
can work at jobs that do not act as
a barrier to recovery. These jobs,
however, do not exist in sufficient num-
hers to fill the needs of world that
is filed with an increasing number of
tubercular people. Therefore it will
become special task of the Red Cross
people to encourage individuals and
organizations to greater efforts in SOlv-
ing this important prOblem-the crea-
ton of industries particularly adapted
to the employment of consumptives.
Farm colonies connected with the
sanatoriums are suggested as a partial
solution of the problem. Under such
q plan the workers would have the adj
vantage of being under the supervision
of expert doctors, who could be relied
on to see that the right balance of
work and recreation and treatment was
maintained. At the present time farm
colonies are in particular favor as a
means Of affording employment to peo-
pie with very light cases.
That quackery in the treatment of
consumption must be stamped out is
determined stand taken by the Red
Cross. The world today is cursed with
a comparatively small number Of So
called doctors and with comparatively
few nostrum factories that sell alleged
consumption cures.
One of the essential features of the
campaign against consumption is that
the health experts should have at hand
an accurate summary of the diStribu-
ton of consumption in every commu-
nifty. knowledge of this kind is of the
greatest possible assistance in carry
ing on campaign. For the local
staffs, such information enables the
community dispensary staff to locate
the breeding grounds of tuberculosis
and center its fight on the dangerous
sectors.

ditions, even in the countries like
France and England, were serious.
And in the neutral countries like
Holland and Denmark, where the
blockade was tightly maintained con-
ditions became very difficult. In the
countries like Serbia, Poland and ROu-
mania the general restitution became
pitiable.
First of all, the campaign plans
against tuberculosis contemplate the
erection of dispenSaries on an adequate
scale furnished with laboratories and
appropriate equipment and affording
provision for early diagnosis by expert
physicians. Especially trained nurses
are to be attached to the dispensaries
charged with the assignment of visiting
the homes of tuberculosis sufferers,
where the necessary care, treatment,
to men, women and children so far
gone with the scOurge that they are
unable to visit the dispensary.
The second clause of the concise
campaign plans against tuberculosis
recommends a system of regular in
spections in the schools, where chill
dren in the early stages of consumption
can be found, thereby making possible
the removal of the afflicted boys and
girls who by their presence among the
healthy youngsters endanger the health
of whole communities.
For the advanced and hopeless cases
Of consumption the creation of an ade-
quate hospital system is suggested.
For cases where a cure is possible,
a system of rsanatoriums is recon-
mended.
That campaign of popular educa-
ton should in the meantime be car
ried on for the benefit of the general
public. is deemed essential to the plan.
In this campaign widespread publicity
would be given. to the causes and
means of preventing tuberculosis--ev-
cry suitable publicity agency being
utilized for the purpose.
The anti-tuberculosis crusade is link
ed closely with the Improvement of
the general living and working condi-
lions of the people everywhere. 1t in
wolves the problems of housing. nu-
triton, and alcoholism. So that the
section of the league of Red Cross so
cieties combating tuberculosis must of
necessity depend on and work in har-
mony with other departments directly
interested in better housing conditions
and the other movements calculated to
improve living conditions.

blue sun has been recorded only

Pole Star, the One Which
Seems to Keep Its Place
Without Any Movement.

aid. There are great many, however,
who do not know what a wonderful
thing it is. In the first place, it can
be seen when looked at through good
telescope to be two. stars and not one.
There is one fairly bright one, of what
is known as the second magnitude,
and another of the ninth magnitude
close to it.
the two is really three stars revOlv-
ing round one another, or, rather,
round their common center of gravity,
like three children playing ''ring ring
Of roses"
This secret is revealed to us by
what is perhaps the most astonishing
of all scientific instruments, the spec
troscope. 1t not only tells us what the
stars are made of, but whether they
are moving toward us or away from
us.
When you stand facing the star
you are always facing north. The rea-
son that it does not appear to move
as the others do is that it is nearly
in line with the axis of the earth. It's
distance from us is enormous. This
can be judged from the fact that al
though the earth in it's journey around
the sun is today about 19OO00,000
miles from where it was six months
ago, that makes no appreciate differ
ence to it's distance from the pole star.
It must therefore be many times 1907
100000 miles away.

HINTS FOR THE
POULTRY GROWER

The Pennsylvania experiment sta
ton recently conducted some tests on
the fattening of cockerels for market.
Two types of breeding and care were
represented by the fowls selected, viz.
ordinary farm-raised and closely man.
aged, egg-laying types. Various ra-
tons and methods of confinement
were compared. The number of fowls
forming the group representing a par
ticular method was ten in each case.
The results showed that farm raised
poultry of the Plymouth Rock and
Rhode Island Red breeds may be fat
tened in crates or pens at a cost for
food of 10 to II cents per pound Of
gain. No difference appeared in the
gains from crate and pen-fed fowls,
but with fowls of these kinds close
confinement resulted in greater econ
omy per pound of gain. Thin fowls
made the cheapest gains. foreground
grain and rations rich in protein gave
the better results. Milk was superior
to meat scrap as a source of protein.
In the case of the more active, egg
laying breed, represented by LeghOrn
cockerels, fattening was profitable
with fowls weighing up to two and
half pounds, but not beyond that limit,
at present food and poultry values.
The cost of gain with this breed rang
ed from 3.25 to II cents per pound.
With the lighter birds, regular grow
ing rations were superior to special
fattening mixtures, and close confine-
ment was not as advantageous as con-
ditions permitting some exercise.

Miracles by Heroism of

Medicine can to some extent prevent

miracle if children brought up in foul

self-sacrifice and heroism of the moth
er of the children, who too often loses
