CHINESE DOCTORS
PAID IN ADVANCE
QUAINT CUSTOM ALSO FOUND IN
TENNESSEE WHERE ANTETU-
BERCULOSIS ASSOCIATION
FIGHTS FOR BETTER
HEALTH.

Over in China your physician is paid
by the year to keep the family we'll.
He is a fireside friend and his life is
one long session of social calls on his
patients. He sits down year in and
year out, preaching the rules Of health,
and If one of the family falls sick
he is the first person to know it. His
horrible preparations Of ground-up rats
and other potent remedies are admins
tered without delay, and if the person
dies or becomes seriously sick, you
esk--well, then you discharge your
physician and call in another
All this seems curious to the occi-
dental mind, yet think how much dis
ease and suffering would be eliminated
If we paid our physician by the year
to keep us we'll While Chinese medi-
cines more often kill than cure, still
the idea of always having your doctor
call around and looking after your
folks ever so often is good one, and
this idea is coming to the front IN this
country.
Do you know that when you pur-
chase some OF the little penny Red
Cross Christmas Seals from the Ten
nessee Anti-Tuberculosis Association
you are paying to have one of the best
corps of nurses and health workers in
this country to look after your health
all year around?
The, money collected in these annual
sales OF seals has built up staff of
Lublic health workers whose headquar-
ters are in Nashville. These health
workers are constantly travelling over
the state seeing that people keep well.
In reality they are the same as the
Chinese physicians, only they don't
feed you powdered rats when YOU are
sick. They have accomplished such
wonderful work in building up the
public vitality that they should be re-
tanned for another year, and to do this
we must purchase enough seals so that
every holiday. letter and package that
is mailed this Christmastide shall have
one or more of these little messages
of Health and Hope attached to them.
The United States Government pays
Admiral Grayson, M. D., by the year
to keep President Wilson we'll. So,
since the government has adopted this
Chinese idea why should not all Amer
leans adopt it and purchase Red Cross
Christmas Seals, The Tennessee Anti
tuberculosis Association pays its staff
to keep Tennesseans well and to cure
those who are sick. They are the
Chinese physicians to Tennessee.

Editor News:
After taking on coal at Christie
bal. G. T., we proceeded thru the
locks whichrequired seven hours
steaming and seven hours in the
docks. After passing thru the
Mirafiores lock. we locked at An
con. From these docks liberty
was given and the men caught a
car for Panama, which cost a
fare of ten cents silver, or Pan
aman. If the person had U. S.
money, the fare was five cents
gold, as they call American cur
rency.
Before we enter the city we
must recall a few things concern
ing the place. First, when the
country was settled by Spain
in 1868. the whole of it was call
ed Colombia. In 1913 Colombia
was made a viceroy of the Span
ish crown and remained so un-
til the war of Colombia Indepen-
dance. which was fought and
won between the years 1810-1819.
At the latter date the Republic
of Colombia was established and
remained so until 1863 when it
became the United States of Co
lombia. Then the State of Pan
anna rebelled in 1903. The cause
is understood or believed to be
the work of the United States
officials in view to obtaining the
strip of land known as the canal
zone. Anyway, it is known that
the U. S. supported the Pana-
mans and obtained from the G.
2. about 500 square miles, and
secured Panama's principal and
only cities. those of Colon. Crys-.
tobal, Ancoh and Panama City,.
Panama's railroad system has
about the same rolling stock as a
light American railway and a
mileage Of $50 miles.
Their articles of commerce are
tropical fruits, cacoa, coffee, to
bacco, sugar cane, rubber, ivory.
turtle shells, pearls, rosewood
and mahogany.
The Republic of Panama has a
of near 10000 and of
these 80, 900 dwell in the city of
Panama. The city is on the can.
al and the beautiful Pacific bay
of Panama.
The people are crude mix
ture of Indian, Spanish and Ne
gro, with special emphasis on the
latter. The streets are crooked
and narrow with protruding We
ranoas. In fact, if caught in
one of the streets when an cleo

as well go around the corner and

FALSE PHILOSOPHY FAILURE
soIaIisn Has Now Proved Itself With
Rivers Of Blood and Suffering to
Be a Positive FaIIaey.

New York.-Two dominant convic-
ions" In the mind of Herbert Hoover
after his FIVE years service abroad
are that socialism is "bankrupting It
self" and that America must not aban-
don its moral leadership in restoring
order In the world nor permit itself
to be used for experiment in social
diseases"
In an address at a dinner of the
American institute of mining and
metallurgical engineers at which he
was the guest OF honor, he declared
that the philosophy OF Lenine's and
Trotzky's was destroying itself from
startling quarter in the extraordi-
nary lowering OF productivity of In
dustrial commodities to point below
the necessity for continued existence
OF their millions of peopleS'
Referring to the revolution In Rus
sia, he said:
Although socialism has now proved
itself with rivers of blood and suffer
ing to be an economic and spiritual
fallacy and to have wrecked itself on
the rock OF production. I believe 1t
was necessary for the world to have
had this demonstration. It Ia not
necessary, however. that we Of the
United States, now that we have wit
messed these results. plunge our own
population into these miseries and
into a laboratory for experiment in
foreign social diseases"

Presidents desire TO bring about

I'VE regret that Cor the first time

letter states. "If delay were not more
than delay, even at the cost of loss of
membership in our organizations, we
would urge the same to the fullest of
our ability, Notwithstanding the men

Relief Trains Have Reached Stricken
Section Bringing Medical Supplies
Food, Bedding and Clothing.

Dallas, Tex.-With the known death
list at least 80 at Corpus Christi and
estimates that the toll will amount
to rs or 100 in that city alone, the
situation in the storm-swept west
gulf coast region Of Texas continues
uncertain.
While the death list il the affected
territory outside of Corpus Christi
probably is considerable, there was
no confirmation of reports placing the
total we'll into the hundreds. Proba-
bly, the most definite news came from
Corpus Christi in the statement that
56 bodies, none Of which had been
Identified, had been discovered be-
tween Portland and Taft.
Machinery for the relief of storm
sufferers was completed late by Gov
ernor Hobby. who ordered units of
the Texas national guard to relieve
federal troops In charge of the situa-
ton at Corpus Christi as quickly as
transportation could be arranged. The
governor issued proclamation urg-
ing prompt contributions OF money
and supplies.
Three relief trains reached Corpus
Christi with food, bedding, clothing
and medical supplies for the thous-
ands of homeless and stricken resi-
dents and other trains were en- route.
Two relief trains were reported stall
ed by washouts at Alice, Tex.
Latest estimates placed the prop
erty loss In Corpus Christi at $40 0,00o,.
600, and meager advices indicate the
damage at Port Aransas would be
very heavy. Rescue workers faced a
tremendous task OF clearing the de-
bris, Blocked streets and a steady rain
which set in at noon, turned the
streets into mud.
The storm carried buildings and
wreckage many miles inland. accord

HEAR PRESIDENT
BOTH ROOSEVELT AND LODGE
QUOTED AS ENDORSING IDEA

EFFICIENCY OF ARBITRATION
"Would be Death Warrant Of Children
OF Country" Said the President,
Should the League Fall.

San Diego, Calif.-An extract from
magazine article written in 1914 by
Theodore Roosevelt was read by
President Wilson in an address here
as an argument in favor OF the league
Of nations.
Speaking to a cheering crowd which
filed the great San Diego stadium,
the President also quoted from Sena-
tor Lodge, one of the most bitter op-
ponents or the treaty in its present
form. and declared that in framing
the league covenant, the Versailles
conference and followed the advice Of
these and other republican statesmen.
II am glad to align myself with such
utterances." said Mr.. Wilson, while
the crowd cheered. Here in concrete
form Is the fulfillment OF the plan they
advocated"
The address was interrupted many
times by applause from the crowd,
which local officials estimated at more
than $4,000.
Emphasizing the arbitration feature
OF the covenant, the President said an
example OF the efficiency OF discus
sion was shown in labor controver-
sizes. He asserted that whenever eth
er side to such a controversy refused
to discuss its case the presumption
was that 1t was on the wrong side.
1t would be the death warrant" of
the children Of the country, declared
the President should the league fail.
