The forum was delayed i'm opening

on the arrival of Senator Reed OF
Missouri" who was properly salute4
in the person of his representativ

begun. The subject was Universal
Military Service" and it was carefully
and thoroughly presented by ex-Lieut.
Reumann.
After convincing arguments on the
other side, in spite of Reumann's
forcible statement, There is no mega
man voted in favor of the proposition.
The general sentiment seemed to be
that our experience in this war show
ed that we should get along without
burdening ourselves with. any such
load as universal training imposes.
One of the remarkable things was
that six men voted that they believed
themselves to be in poorer physical
condition than whe1f they entered the
service, while there were twelve who
put themselves on record as thinking
that they had been benefited. 1t
should be noted that the six had been
on special service, mostly clerical, and
had not drilled much.
A committee to conduct the forums
programs was appointed. consisting
of Corp. Cassidy; Sergt. Tenney. Pri-

SPREAD TUBERCULOSIS WILL BE C0MBATTED
 BY THE GOVERNMENT

ATLANTIC CITY, June 19 (by Asso ciated Press).-One of the greatest victories of the war was the triumph of modern medicine in the control of acute infectious diseases but even greater benefit will result from the fact that the war also opened the eyes of the government, as well as the peo- ple. to the great inroad that chronic diseases are making in our national economy, Dr. David R. Lyman said at the meeting of the National Tubercu- 1osis Association which convened here today. Dr. Lyman is president of the association.
 AS result of the ravages of the White Plague" among Americas man. hood, startlingly revealed by the draft board records, Dr: Lyman predicted the immediate creation of division of tuberculosis in the United Staes public health service. This, he said, undoubtedly would be followed by the establishment at Washington of de- partment of health giving equal rank with the other great activities of the government, instead of the nations health being considered of minor i'm portance and cared for, as it is at present, as side issue of the treasury department.
 With the records showing that nearly 100000 men were rejected for the national army, because suffering from suspected tuberculosis, Dr. Ly- man urged greater cooperation be- tween public and private health auth critics if preventable disease is not to hamper the country's development during the reconstruction years.
 Government officials, as we'll as health authorities from every state in the union are here to discuss plans for a nationwide campaign against pre- ventable disease.
 Dr. Charles J. Hartfeld, managing director of the national association, pointed out, that although tuberculosis causes 150000 deaths annually in this country the burden of the fight against the disease was being borne by volun- tary associations. Even their work, he said, is greatly handicapped by made quate laws.
 That the spread of tuberculosis in this country is due largely to patients who travel from one place to another seeking magical climate that will cure them and who have not sufficient means to properly care for them selves, was stated by James T. Persh- ing, who read a report on 'Indigent Migratory Consumptives."

 Take fine Ale and sharpen each blade, being careful to keep the same angle as they had at first; file till rough places are all taken out. Put a little oil on the edges of the blades and snap together. Then wipe off all the oil.
 To Prevent PrickIno the Fingers.
 One accustomed to doing needlework of any kind is aware of the discom- fort caused by the needle pricking the finger which holds the underside Of the cloth. This can be prevented if the worker will moisten small strip or court plaster and stick it on the end of the finger.

To Freshen Oriental Rugs.

A mixture of borax, ammonia and water is excellent and will not injure the rugs. To one pint of water add two tablespoonfuls of powdered borax and one tablespoonful of ammonia, stirring we'll. Apply while the water is warm with a small brush, rubbing against the nap. When the entire rug has been gone over wipe in the same direction with the nap with a soft cloth which will not lint. Then brush with the nap, using dry brush. After this treatment the rugs will be silky, clear and with a better sheen. This was told by native rug dealer.

To Utilize Embroidered Monoorams.


 Take the embroidered initial or monogram from old bolster and pillow cases and use them on new slips. Cut letter from old slip, leaving a three inch square around it (letters for bed linen are usually two inches), then cut the material to form an oval leaving small margin to turn under. Sew to the new slip, then outline with en- broidery cotton to conceal stitches. Outline another row one-fourth of an inch from the first and work eyelets at intervals between the rows to form a medallion. The result is even pret- tier than when first embroidered.
 Turning a Dress Skirt.
 If skirt has become faded or soiled, it can often be turned to good advan- tage. First, clean it as thoroughly as possible. Rip one seam, turn and baste carefully before ripping another. If there are plaits refold, following the old creases. making what was for merly the wrong side the right. If the skirt is good hanging one any home
  torily, for it is not nearly so difficult a task as to make a new one. One seam at time is a much better way than to rip all the seams apart before beginning to haste.
 When Stitching Seams.
 When stitching heavy white cotton or linen, rub the seam to be stitched with hard white soap, and the needle will not cut the material.
 When Sewing Taffeta.
 Use thin, fine needle for sewing taffeta. The blunt end of needle long used is liable to pucker the goods, and the stitches will not be even. A heav- fer needle may be used in sewing China silk.
 To Sharpen Scissors.
 Cut them rapidly on the neck of a small glass bottle, or better still, on a

hold worlds titles in five Of the seven

He still Meld the English feather
