A recent health survey, made by the
experts OF the National tuberculosis
Association, brought to light some
startling statistics with regard to the
prevelency OF the disease. The find-
ings OF this survey have revealed a
national menace, which must be eradl-

year 10000 persons die OF the dis

the United States today.
The untaught consumptlve-one who
does not know the rules OF health, is
an indefatlgable spreader OF the dis.
ease. Wherever he goes, he leaves be-

The National tuberculosis Assocla-

educational campaign. The campaign
will be localized and within a short
time there will be ample work for
many thousands OF volunteers.
The National tuberculosis Associa-

Red Cross Christmas Seals. To make
possible the carrying out OF this cam
paign, more than $4,000 600 seals will

where they are located. The officers
OF these bodies eagerly welcome in

Mrs. Wilson Became
Presidents Chief Aide
During Recent Illness

Washington, Dec. 17.-Mrs. Will
son, wife of the President, has be-
come one of the most important
functionaries of the government, as
result of her husbands illness and
the difficulties of carrying on the
administration without an active
executive.
The Cabinet. which has under
taken to administer the government
during the emergency produced by
the Presidents indisposition, is con-
fronted daily with Il multitude of
perplexities. Many of these mat
ters, requiring the personal decision
of the President, are referred to
Mr.. Wilson through his secretary,
Mr.. Tumulty. When in the course
of q week or more no action is OBJ
tanned by a Cabinet member on Il
matter submitted to the President
he makes inquiry of Mr.. Tumulty.
The secretary frequently is unable
to say whether the President has
given the question any consideration.
The Cabinet member, unable to con
suit with the President directly, then
appeals to Mrs Wilson for informa-
tion-and gets it.
Mrs. Wilson has become the chief
assistant to the President in trans
acting public business. She keeps
his papers in shape for reference
and explains his instructions. She
is the repository of State secrets.
